Prophecy
In the Bible, prophecy is primarily understood as a divine communication or revelation from God to humanity, often conveyed through chosen individuals known as prophets. The Hebrew word for prophecy is "נְבוּאָה" (nevu'ah), which denotes a message or utterance that originates from God. Prophets were tasked with delivering God's messages, which could include predictions about future events, calls for repentance, or proclamations of God’s will and purposes. For instance, in the Old Testament, prophets like Isaiah and Jeremiah played crucial roles in guiding and warning the people of Israel, as seen in Isaiah 6:8-10, where Isaiah responds to God's call to prophesy.In the New Testament, the concept of prophecy evolves but retains its foundational elements. It is often associated with the gift of the Holy Spirit, as seen in 1 Corinthians 12:10, where Paul lists prophecy as one of the spiritual gifts. Moreover, the New Testament emphasizes that prophecy serves to encourage, edify, and comfort the church (1 Corinthians 14:3). Prophecy is not merely about foretelling future events but also about forth-telling God’s truth and will to His people, as exemplified in the ministry of John the Baptist, who prepared the way for Jesus by declaring God’s message (Matthew 3:1-3). Thus, prophecy in the biblical context encapsulates both a foretelling of events and the proclamation of God’s truth to guide His people.
