'Prophesy' in the Bible
You hypocrites! How well did Isaiah prophesy of you when he said,
Some of them began to spit on him. They blindfolded him and kept hitting him with their fists and telling him, "Prophesy!" Even the servants took him and slapped him around.
They blindfolded him and asked him over and over again, "Prophesy! Who is the one who hit you?"
"In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on everyone. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.
In those days I will even pour out my Spirit on my slaves, men and women alike, and they will prophesy.
When Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began to speak in foreign languages and to prophesy.
For what we know is incomplete and what we prophesy is incomplete.
Keep on pursuing love, and keep on desiring spiritual gifts, especially the ability to prophesy.
Now I wish that all of you could speak in foreign languages, but especially that you could prophesy. The person who prophesies is more important than the person who speaks in a foreign language, unless he interprets it so that the church may be built up.
For everyone can prophesy in turn, so that everyone can be instructed and everyone can be encouraged.
Therefore, my brothers, desire the ability to prophesy, and do not prevent others from speaking in foreign languages.
Then the seven thunders told me, "You must prophesy again about many nations, nations, languages, and kings."
I will give my two witnesses who wear sackcloth the authority to prophesy for 1,260 days."
