An Emerging Millennial Prophetic Movement // Part 4
Julian Adams • April 18, 2018
I’ve been doing a VLOG series on the emerging millennial prophetic movement, which I believe is about to sweep the earth. I’ve noticed four characteristics which will set these young men and women apart from past moves of God. Every Thursday I will be releasing a new VLOG, all leading up to my very first Facebook Live session, on 26 April. Here is VLOG 4 of 4
4. BELIEVING A HAPPY ESCHATOLOGY
God wants to reshape what we think about the end times. Unlike in the past, this new generation is going to live with the expectation of HOPE and VICTORY, not fear of being left behind. They will dream of the goodness of God and his purposes for this earth, partnering with heaven by displaying love to the broken of society. They will know that if they dream with God, anything is possible.
– TRANSCRIPT
One of the jobs of the prophetic is to help shape our eschatological world view. Eschatology simply means the end of things. And the prophetic throughout the Old and the New Testament had this ability to unlock a window or picture about the end so that people could see it in the now. And I believe God wants to increasingly reshape the way we think about the end times. I remember growing up thinking about the 666, the mark of the beast, watching movies called “Left Behind” and all sorts of very scary pictures of what it will be like in the end times.
But I’ve come to understand both theologically and experientially, the goodness of God and His purpose on the earth. It’s not that God wants to take us out of this earth. The Bible is so clear that in the book of Revelation we see a heavenly city coming down from heaven to cover the earth. It’s not that we’re gonna escape, it’s that we’re going to see heaven cover the earth. The government of God’s goodness and mercy and peace, being established on the earth and covering everything.
And what’s gonna mark this millennial prophetic generation, is that we’re gonna live with an expectation of hope, with the expectation of victory. Not the expectation of fear, of being afraid of being left behind, we’ll be taken out of this big bad world, but actually, that God is coming. And I love that already when you think about this millennial generation, this twinkle in their eye, this sense of we can dream and see anything become possible. And I believe that’s part of the redemptive purpose of God for this generation, that there will be those who will begin to dream, who will begin to see the end, the goodness of God. That eschatology is not about fear, it is about His goodness coming to the earth. That we begin to dream and partner with heaven for that to come to earth. That in our serving the poor, in our working with those who are wealthy, in shaping policy in government, in education, in different spheres of society, that all of that releases a demonstration of the goodness of God. And I believe it’s time that the millennial generation prophetic voices begin to be raised up and begin to speak a new word. One of hope, one of great expectation, one of the goodness of God coming. Not just for one day when we die, but here on earth right now.
Things are getting better. There are less people dying of communicable diseases today than there were 20 years ago. People are living longer. Healthy living is taking over the earth in many different places. People are getting a new concept of what it means to live healthily, of what it means to live long. Things are getting a little bit better. And millennial prophetic voices see this and begin to prophesy more of the goodness of God, even into the ever increasing picture that He is a good God, who’s coming back to make all things good.

If you want to grow in the prophetic, it doesn’t begin with what you say. It begins with what you see. The prophetic is rooted in perception. Not just natural insight, but spiritual awareness—what Scripture calls “the eyes of your heart.” Paul prayed that the church in Ephesus would have their hearts enlightened so they could truly see what God was doing. “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you…” (Ephesians 1:18) God isn’t distant or withholding. But if we’re going to hear Him clearly, we have to see differently. We need Heaven’s perspective. And that means learning to quiet the noise, tune into His voice, and let Him train our inner vision. You don’t need to wait for a dramatic vision or audible voice. Often, God speaks through a nudge. A mental picture. A scripture that lingers. A sense of burden or joy that feels holy. These are the first signs that your spiritual eyesight is awakening. But it takes time. It takes attention. It takes trust. Just like physical muscles grow with use, your spiritual senses grow as you spend time with Him—not just talking, but listening. Not just asking for answers, but asking for His perspective. You were never meant to live according to what the world says is true. You were meant to live by every word that flows from the mouth of God. A Prayer for This Week: “Lord, open the eyes of my heart. Teach me to see what You see—not just in others, but in myself, in my circumstances, in the world around me. Give me clarity and confidence to trust Your perspective more than my own. Amen.” This week, pay attention to what you notice. The way you see is often the way He speaks.
In this live session, Sean Smith and Julian Adams share their prophetic perspectives on 2025, offering honest reflections on what they sense God is doing across the earth. With hope and expectancy, they discuss the spiritual landscape ahead and how we can prepare for what’s to come.
We are living in a world of dramatic change. The relentless pace of development often leaves us breathless and exhausted. The demand for innovative ways of communicating, inventing, and staying ahead of cultural trends can feel daunting and demoralizing. It can push us into a space where we find ourselves trying to copy rather than be authentic, to imitate rather than create. This pressure can lead us to believe that we need to be more creative, and that our individual stories do not matter. But nothing could be further from the truth. Your story, no matter how small, matters and is powerful. One of the remarkable aspects of ancient manuscripts, like the Bible, is that they tell the stories of individuals whose lives may seem small and insignificant. Yet, God chose to make their lives a memorial of what He could do with a life that the world deems insignificant. The incredible power of the gospel is that it changes lives one at a time. God is as interested in the individual story as He is in redeeming the cosmos. The aim of the gospel is not just dealing with personal sin; it is about restoring individuals to a relationship with a kind Father. In his book Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis beautifully said, "The Son of God became a man to enable men to become sons of God." Justification addresses our standing before God, but our adoption invites us into a relationship with the Father. It allows us to partake of who He is and to live in a place of deep joy from who He is. Romans 3:23 reminds us that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Many of us forget that the work of salvation has turned this verse around. Through Jesus, we have been restored to the glory of God. One description of the word "glory" refers to the divine quality, the unspoken manifestation of God, and splendor. It is the revelation of God's intrinsic worth and beauty. Do you see that? We have been restored to His divine quality, splendor, and beauty. In a world where it can be easy to feel like just another face in the crowd, remember that your story is significant. Your experiences, your journey, and your voice matter. Embrace the unique narrative God has given you and let it shine. You are not just a spectator; you are a vital participant in God's grand story. Your authenticity, creativity, and individuality are valuable. As you navigate the rapid changes of our world, hold on to the truth that your story has power and purpose. God sees you, knows you, and has a plan for your life that is uniquely yours. Let us celebrate the beauty and significance of each individual story, knowing that together, we contribute to a tapestry of divine splendor and glory.
