Word of the Day - 8/25/2008

Vaticination

Vaticination is an act of prophesying.

Before being anointed as the first king of Israel, Saul uncharacteristically participated in vaticination.

"Then the Spirit of the LORD will come upon you mightily, and you shall prophesy with them and be changed into another man." (I Samuel 10:6, NASB)

Note: This watercolour painting is James Tissot's (1836-1902) "Saul Prophesies with the Prophets".
