PROPHECY

What is the Biblical definition of “prophecy”?






Bible prophecy or biblical prophecy is the supposed foretelling or prediction of what is to come,as specified in the Bible. The Biblical prophets are usually considered to have received revelations from God, subsequently recording them in the relevant writings.Such passages are widely distributed throughout the Bible, but those most often cited are from EzekielDanielMatthew 24Matthew 25, and Revelation.

WHO IS A PROPHET ACCORDING TO BIBLE ?

A prophet was an individual who received a call from God to be God's spokesperson, often connected with some crisis that was about to occur, and then announced God's message of judgment and/or deliverance to Israel and the nations. The importance of this office can be seen in the fact that the word "prophet" occurs over 300 times in the Old Testament and almost 125 times in the New Testament. The term "prophetess" appears 6 times in the Old Testament and 2 times in the New Testament.
The Derivation and Meaning of "Prophet." The derivation and meaning of the word "prophet" has been a matter of controversy for several centuries now with no prospect of closure on this debate. Since most of the solutions to this enigma have been based on etymologies or terms in cognate languages, it is small wonder that no resolution has been forthcoming. Linguists are especially agreed that the most that etymologies can yield are only various suggestions. The only safe course in resolving the meaning of a word is to depend ultimately on usages in contexts.

            666/Mark of the Beast-     
The mark of the beast is the sign of the Antichrist, and is mentioned in Revelation 13:15-18
The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.
