Foretell, Foretold
Foretell, Foretold
for-tel, for-told: The King James Version occurrences of these words in the New Testament represent as many Greek terms, and are in each case rendered differently in Revised Version: (1) Mar 13:23 (, proepon), the Revised Version (British and American) told beforehand; (2) Act 3:24 (, prokataggello), the Revised Version (British and American) simply told; (3) 2Co 13:2 (, prolego), the Revised Version (British and American) said beforehand, margin plainly; compare 1Th 3:4. The foretelling of future events is claimed in the Old Testament as a prerogative of Yahweh (Isa 41:22, Isa 41:23; Isa 42:9, etc.; compare Deu 18:22). See PROPHECY.
