Definition and Purpose of Prophecy
Biblical prophecy encompasses messages from God delivered through prophets, revealing His will,
foretelling future events and providing moral guidance and hope. Biblical prophecy is fundamentally
a message from God communicated through chosen individuals known as prophets. These
messages serve various purposes, including:
- Revealing God's Will: Prophecies instruct people on how to live and worship, emphasizing
God's holiness and moral standards. - Foretelling Future Events: While not all prophecies predict the future, many do, providing
insight into God's plans for humanity and specific events in history.
