Profecia
A profecia é a voz de Deus revelada ao seu povo. Através dos profetas, Deus comunicou seus planos, advertiu contra o pecado e anunciou a vinda do Messias.
Profecia e revelação divina
A profecia na Bíblia não é invenção humana, mas homens santos de Deus falaram movidos pelo Espírito Santo, revelando os mistérios divinos.
for no prophecy originated in human ideas, but prophets spoke for God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
For the Lord God does nothing without revealing his intentions to his servants the prophets.
When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. After Paul had placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.
Profecias messiânicas cumpridas
As profecias do Antigo Testamento sobre o Messias se cumpriram em Jesus. Seu nascimento, ministério e sacrifício foram anunciados séculos antes.
This is why the Lord himself is going to give you a sign. Look! The virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and she will call him Immanuel.
(Now this all happened to fulfill what the Lord said through the prophet: "A virgin will become pregnant, and will give birth to a son. They will call him Immanuel," which means "God with us.")
Be happy and celebrate, people of Zion! Shout loudly, people of Jerusalem! Look, your king is coming to you. He does what is right and has salvation; he is humble, riding on a donkey—on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
But now God’s character of goodness and right has been demonstrated. It has nothing to do with law-keeping, even though it was spoken of by the law and the prophets. This character of God that is good and right comes to everyone who trusts in Jesus Christ, those who place their confidence in him. It doesn’t matter who we are:
Discernimento profético
A Bíblia nos alerta para examinar tudo e reter o que é bom. Nem todo que profetiza fala da parte de Deus — devemos provar os espíritos.
Dear friends, don’t trust every spirit, but put the spirits to the test to find out whether they’re from God, for there are many false prophets out there in the world.
But you belong to God, my friends, and you have defeated them, for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
make sure to check everything. Hold on to whatever is good; keep away from every kind of evil.
Watch out for false prophets who come wearing sheep’s clothing, but who on the inside are vicious wolves.
Treat others the way you want them to treat you. This sums up the law and the prophets.
If I were to speak prophecies, to know every secret mystery and be completely knowledgeable, and if I were able to have so much faith I could move mountains, but have no love, then I am nothing.
That means you’re no longer strangers and foreigners; you are fellow citizens of God’s people and belong to God’s family that’s being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone.
"Go back in and tell Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, This is what the Lord, the God of your forefather David, says: I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears. Look! I am going to heal you. In three days time you will go to the Lord’s Temple.
