The role of a prophet was highly esteemed, and their messages were considered authoritative. The early church recognized the gift of prophecy as one of the spiritual gifts given by the Holy Spirit for the edification of the church (1 Corinthians 12:10). Prophetic writings, such as those found in the Old Testament, were foundational to Jewish and Christian beliefs, providing guidance, warning, and hope.
