O legado profético de Jesus Cristo: uma análise teológica e histórica

Abstract

This article explores the prophetic legacy of Jesus Christ from a theological and historical perspective, analyzing his prophecies as recorded in the Gospels and their relevance throughout the centuries. The investigation highlights the importance of these prophecies for the formation of Christian theology and their influence on Western culture. The main prophecies analyzed include predictions about the destruction of Jerusalem, Jesus's death and resurrection, and eschatological prophecies related to the end times. The methodology used was the historical-theological method, allowing for a critical analysis of biblical texts and their historical contexts, revealing the evolution of prophecy interpretation over the centuries. Authors such as N. T. Wright and George Eldon Ladd were key to understanding the theological and historical aspects of the topic. The study concludes that, although interpretations have changed over time, the impact of these prophecies on faith and Christian practice remains significant. These predictions continue to inspire eschatological hope and shape Christian ethics and spirituality, underscoring their relevance in both contemporary theology and culture.
