Prophecy

Prophecy runs throughout the Holy Bible, including the Old and New Testaments. Holy prophets are true prophets of God empowered and strengthened by the Holy Spirit for service to proclaim God’s message, encourage and comfort His people, and explain or predict God’s will for the future. The Sovereign LORD God appoints His prophets and places His words in His holy prophets’ mouths and tongues, and their message comes true. True prophets of God are given access to God’s heavenly throne room, and these holy men and women have seen God’s glory and power so they can speak His moral and holy message to all people. Many great men and women of the Old and New Testaments are called prophets or prophetesses, including Abraham, Moses, David, Elijah, Elisha, Jeremiah, John the Baptist, and prophetesses, Miriam, Deborah, and Anna. Some of the holy prophets’ messages include visions and dreams of the future, and their message calls all people to the Sovereign LORD God with wholehearted love, faithfulness, obedience to Him, and goodness and fairness towards others. Holy prophecy with love is the church’s foundation and a spiritual gift from the Holy Spirit for helping, teaching, comforting, strengthening, and uplifting God’s people while also declaring Jesus’s Lordship. The testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy as the Old Testament prophets predicted His coming as the Messiah (Christ, Anointed One, Son of David). The New Testament wrote that the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings of the Old Testament predicted God’s Gospel message of redemption, restoration, and forgiveness through Jesus the Messiah. Jesus is the Great Prophet of God and the new Moses filled with God’s words, and everyone must listen to and obey Jesus’s holy words and teachings. Often, holy prophecy spoke against leaders and the people for their disobedience to God’s covenants, evil behavior, wickedness, injustice, and idolatry, and they spoke of God’s judgment and punishment because of such evildoing. The Holy Bible describes the requirements of a holy prophet and warns everyone to reject any false and deceiving prophecy of Satan that calls for worshiping and seeking guidance from other gods, goddesses, witchcraft, mediums, spiritists, occult practices, magic, omens, or sorcery. These false and dark prophets of Satan are filled with blasphemy, greed, and lying spirits to lead people astray into utter darkness, evildoing, wickedness, sexual sins, and unfaithfulness to God. False prophets and teachers are often disguised as angels of light, but their deeds, bad fruits, and teachings are wicked, sinful, and lawless, and they deny the Lordship of Jesus. Jesus is Lord!
