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.
21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
5 On hearing that, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus,6 and when Paul laid his hands on them the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.

As profecias do Antigo Testamento sobre o Messias se cumpriram em Jesus. Seu nascimento, ministério e sacrifício foram anunciados séculos antes.
22 All this happened in fulfillment of what the Lord had spoken through the prophet:23 "Behold the virgin will conceive and will bear a son, and they will call his name Immanuel" which means, God is with us.
21 But now, apart from law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, confirmed by the Law and the Prophets \'9722 a righteousness from God through faith in Jesus Christ for all believers. For there is no difference.
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.
