Prophecy Quote by David A. Desilva
““While such prophecy could include a predictive element, it was also—and perhaps primarily—a declaration of God’s action in the present or an announcement of God’s evaluation of the present actions of God’s people, diagnosing problems and calling for realignment with God’s values. Prophecy is essentially a “word of the Lord” breaking into the situation of the Lord’s people who need guidance or encouragement or a call to repentance and recommitment.””
