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.
because no human beings decided to make those prophecies. On the contrary, those who spoke messages from God did that because it was the Holy Spirit who caused them to do it, and therefore the Spirit must help us to interpret/understand their meaning.
And whatever Yahweh plans to do,
he tells his prophets about it.
So, when those men heard that, they were baptized to affirm that they believed [MTY] in the Lord Jesus. After that, Paul placed his hands on their heads one by one, and the power of the Holy Spirit came upon each of them. The Holy Spirit enabled them to speak in various languages [MTY] that they had not learned, and they also spoke messages that the Holy Spirit revealed to them.
Profecias messiânicas cumpridas
As profecias do Antigo Testamento sobre o Messias se cumpriram em Jesus. Seu nascimento, ministério e sacrifício foram anunciados séculos antes.
Yahweh himself will do something for you to prove that he will help/protect you. Listen to this: A young woman will become pregnant and give birth to a son. She will name him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us’.
All this happened as a result of what the Lord told the prophet Isaiah to write long ago about what was going to happen. This is what Isaiah wrote: "Listen, a virgin will become pregnant and will give birth to a son. They will call him Emmanuel." Emmanuel means ‘God is with us’.
The coming King
Rejoice very much, you people of Jerusalem [APO, DOU]
and shout joyfully,
because your king will be coming to you.
He is righteous and victorious;
but he will be gentle,
and he will be riding on a donkey,
on a young female donkey.
Now God erases the record of sins of everyone, Jew and non-Jew, who trusts in what Jesus Christ has done for them. God presented Christ as the one who would atone for sins by dying on the cross.
But God’s ◄erasing the record of our sins/declaring us no longer guilty► does not depend on our obeying the laws that he gave Moses. It has now been {God has now} revealed to us how he erases the record of our sins by a different way. It was written about by Moses {Moses wrote about it} in the laws [PRS] God gave him, and it was also written about by the prophets {the prophets also wrote about it}. God erases the record of our sins because we trust in what Jesus Christ has done for us. God does this for every person who trusts in Christ, because he considers that there is no difference between Jews and non-Jews.
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.
Continue to test the teachings you hear to know whether or not they are from God. You should test those who teach them by whether or not they acknowledge that Jesus Christ came in human form and also by what kind of people listen to that kind of teaching.
Dear friends, many people who have a false message are teaching it to people [MTY]. So do not trust every message that someone claims/says that God’s Spirit [MTY] gave to him. Instead, ◄test/think carefully about► the teachings that you hear in order to know whether they are from God or not.
As for you who are very dear to me, you belong to God, and you have refused the false messages that those people teach, because God, who enables you to do what he wants, is ◄greater/more powerful► than ◄Satan/the devil►, who enables ◄godless people/people who conduct their lives in a way that displeases God► [MTY].
On the contrary, evaluate all such messages. Accept the messages that are truly from God, and obey them. Do not obey any kind of evil message.
Jesus taught about how to recognize false prophets.
"Beware of people who come to you and say falsely that they are telling you what God has said. They seem to be harmless, but they are extremely harmful. They are like wolves that have covered themselves with sheepskins to make people believe that they are sheep [MET], but they actually are wolves that attack people [MET].
Jesus taught that we should treat others as we would like them to treat us.
"So in whatever way you want others to act toward you (pl), that is the way you (pl) should act toward them, because that sums up what Moses wrote in the laws that God gave him and also what the prophets wrote long ago."
Supposing we had the ability to speak messages that come directly from God, and we could understand the plans that he has not yet revealed to others, and we could know everything about everything, and we believed in God so strongly that we could do impossible things like causing mountains to move. If we did not love others, God would consider all that to be worthless.
So God no longer treats you non-Jews as people treat [MET] foreigners and strangers who live among them [MET]. Instead, along with all God’s people, it is as though you have become citizens of a country that he rules over, and as though you have become members of the family of which he is the father [MET]. Just like a building is built {as someone builds a building} on a foundation, God has joined you into one group that originated/began from what the apostles and prophets taught. Christ Jesus is the most important one in that group, just like a cornerstone is the most important part of a building. And
which said, "Go back to Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, and say to him, ‘I, Yahweh, the God whom your ancestor King David worshiped, have heard what you prayed. And I have seen your tears. So, listen: I will heal you. Two days from now you will be able to go up to my temple.
