The story behind Prophecy
Israel prophets spoke into concrete historical crises, while later Christian tradition also discusses prophecy as a spiritual gift.
The spiritual meaning of Prophecy
Spiritually, Prophecy asks whether truth is being spoken in love and fear of God.
Prophecy in the Bible
Biblical prophecy includes foretelling, but also forth-telling: naming idolatry, injustice, false security, and God promised restoration.
Prophecy in numerology
Numbers in prophetic texts can be symbolic, but they require genre-aware interpretation and should not become code obsession.
Why Prophecy matters
Prophecy matters because the Bible prophets call people back to covenant faithfulness, justice, worship, and hope.
Where readings of Prophecy go wrong
It is a mistake to use prophecy for date-setting, fear, manipulation, or private commands.
