However, Brown believes the Bible teaches that there is hope for those in the world who are poor and oppressed. Brown (1984: 14). Gebara (2002: 107).
Brown explains that if God sided with these suffering persons in Biblical times, he also does today. Brown (1984: 14).
I can grant this proposition, Brown (1984: 14), and state that although the salvific work of Christ for humanity should remain the core of Christian faith and philosophy, simultaneous to this Christians must help in an earthly physical sense, those they are attempting to assist in a spiritual sense. This is an important and essential way of making theology practical.

prophecy of scripture its own interpretation not is
Any prophecy of scripture is not its own interpretation.
William Barclay writes that the Apostle Peter insisted that scripture is not up to a person's private interpretation. (314). Scripture is revealed to a person through the Holy Spirit, that guides the interpretation. (314) The original scriptural writers were guided by the Holy Spirit to accuracy as should be the readers of scripture to avoid significant error.
There is biblically and within biblical theology, no room for biblical reinterpretation that departs from the original gospel message.
