signifies “the speaking forth of the mind and counsel of God” (pro, “forth,” phemi, “to speak:” see PROPHET); in the NT it is used (a) of the gift, e.g., Rom 12:6<\/span>; 1Co 12:10<\/span>; 1Co 13:2<\/span>; (b) either of the exercise of the gift or of that which is “prophesied,” e.g., Mat 13:14<\/span>; 1Co 13:8<\/span>; 1Co 14:6<\/span>, 1Co 14:22<\/span>; 1Th 5:20<\/span>, “prophesying (s);” 1Ti 1:18<\/span>; 1Ti 4:14<\/span>; 2Pe 1:20-21<\/span>; Rev 1:3<\/span>; Rev 11:6<\/span>; Rev 19:10<\/span>; Rev 22:7<\/span>, Rev 22:10<\/span>, Rev 22:18-19<\/span>. <\/p>\n “Though much of OT prophecy was purely predictive, see Mic 5:2<\/span>, e.g., and cp. Joh 11:51<\/span>, prophecy is not necessarily, nor even primarily, fore-telling. It is the declaration of that which cannot be known by natural means, Mat 26:68<\/span>, it is the forth-telling of the will of God, whether with reference to the past, the present, or the future, see Gen 20:7<\/span>; Deu 18:18<\/span>; Rev 10:11<\/span>; Rev 11:3<\/span>. <\/p>\n “In such passages as 1Co 12:28<\/span>; Eph 2:20<\/span>, the ‘prophets’ are placed after the ‘Apostles,’ since not the prophets of Israel are intended, but the ‘gifts’ of the ascended Lord, Eph 4:8<\/span>, Eph 4:11<\/span>; cp. Act 13:1<\/span>; the purpose of their ministry was to edify, to comfort, and to encourage the believers, 1Co 14:3<\/span>, while its effect upon unbelievers was to show that the secrets of a man’s heart are known to God, to convict of sin, and to constrain to worship, 1Co 14:24-25<\/span>. <\/p>\n “With the completion of the canon of Scripture prophecy apparently passed away, 1Co 13:8-9<\/span>. In his measure the teacher has taken the place of the prophet, cp. the significant change in 2Pe 2:1<\/span>. The difference is that, whereas the message of the prophet was a direct revelation of the mind of God for the occasion, the message of the teacher is gathered from the completed revelation contained in the Scriptures.” * [* From Notes on Thessalonians by Hogg and Vine, pp. 196,197.] <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “of or relating to prophecy,” or “proceeding from a prophet, prophetic,” is used of the OT Scriptures, Rom 16:26<\/span>, “of the prophets,” lit., “(by) prophetic (Scriptures);” 2Pe 1:19<\/span>, “the word of prophecy (made more sure),” i.e., confirmed by the person and work of Christ (AV, “a more sure, etc.”), lit., “the prophetic word.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “to be a prophet, to prophesy,” is used (a) with the primary meaning of telling forth the Divine counsels, e.g., Mat 7:22<\/span>; Mat 26:68<\/span>; 1Co 11:4-5<\/span>; 1Co 13:9<\/span>; 1Co 14:1<\/span>, 1Co 14:3-5<\/span>, 1Co 14:24<\/span>, 1Co 14:31<\/span>, 1Co 14:39<\/span>; Rev 11:3<\/span>; (b) of foretelling the future, e.g., Mat 15:7<\/span>; Joh 11:51<\/span>; 1Pe 1:10<\/span>; Jude 14. <\/p>\n Prophecy, Prophesy, Prophesying signifies “the speaking forth of the mind and counsel of God” (pro, “forth,” phemi, “to speak:” see PROPHET); in the NT it is used (a) of the gift, e.g., Rom 12:6; 1Co 12:10; 1Co 13:2; (b) either of the exercise of the gift or of that which is “prophesied,” e.g., Mat 13:14; … Continue reading “Prophecy, Prophesy, Prophesying”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-77519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-encyclopedic-dictionary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77519"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77519\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: Vine’s Dictionary of New Testament Words<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
