Sonho e Profecia na cultura evangélico-pentecostal no Brasil atual

Abstract

This article discusses the appropriation by evangelical-Pentecostal circles of Old Testament Prophetism in the form of divine messages about the political and moral destinies of our society. It identifies intolerance against other religions and secular ways of life propagated by evangelical leaders, in the idea of the election of a “chosen people” directly by God conveyed in this segment of the biblical text. This imaginary is legitimized not in social rules or political calculation, but in dreams, visions and revelations of prophecies.
