Nature of Prophecy in the New Testament
In the New Testament, the gift of prophecy is highlighted as one of the supernatural spiritual gifts, distinct from foretelling the future. Prophecy involves delivering inspired messages from God in the known language of the speaker and audience. The primary purpose of prophecy, as emphasized in 1 Corinthians 14, is for edification, encouragement, and comfort, not for establishing doctrine or undermining church leadership. Dr. David K. Bernard explains that prophecy should be exercised in love, focusing on building up individuals and the congregation.
