Prophecy is found in both the Old and New Testaments, and has been given by God not only to warn His people of coming events, but to encourage them amidst the difficulties through which they pass in this world. In the New Testament, prophecy is viewed as one of the greatest divine gifts, and is given for "edification, and exhortation, and comfort" (1 Cor. 14:3). The prophet applies the word of God to the conscience of his hearers, so as to bring them into the presence of God.
