Word Origin: Derived from προφήτης (prophétés), meaning "prophet," which comes from πρό (pro, "before") and φημί (phēmi, "to speak"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H5016 נְבוּאָה (nevu'ah): Prophecy - H5030 נָבִיא (navi'): Prophet Usage: In the New Testament, "prophéteia" refers to the gift of communicating and enforcing revealed truth. It encompasses both the foretelling of future events and the forthtelling of God's will, often for the purpose of edification, exhortation, and comfort within the church. Prophecy is considered a spiritual gift bestowed by the Holy Spirit, as seen in 1 Corinthians 12:10 and 14:1. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, prophecy was a common phenomenon, not only within Israel but also among surrounding nations. However, biblical prophecy is distinct in its origin from the one true God and its purpose to guide, correct, and encourage God's people. In the early church, prophecy played a crucial role in the establishment and edification of Christian communities, serving as a means of divine communication before the completion of the New Testament canon.
