Strong's Lexicon prophéteuó: To prophesy, to speak forth by divine inspiration, to predict Original Word: προφητεύω Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word προφήτης (prophétés), meaning "prophet." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H5012 נָבָא (naba): To prophesy, to speak or sing by inspiration - H5030 נָבִיא (nabi): Prophet, spokesman Usage: The verb "prophéteuó" refers to the act of delivering a message from God, often involving foretelling future events or declaring God's will. In the New Testament, it encompasses both the prediction of future events and the proclamation of God's truth. It is a spiritual gift that involves speaking under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, often for the edification, exhortation, and comfort of the church (1 Corinthians 14:3). Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, prophets were seen as intermediaries between the divine and human realms. In the Old Testament, prophets played a crucial role in guiding Israel, warning of judgment, and foretelling the coming of the Messiah. By the time of the New Testament, prophecy continued to be a vital aspect of the early Christian community, serving to build up the church and confirm the message of the gospel. The gift of prophecy was highly valued and regulated within the church to ensure order and edification (1 Corinthians 14:29-33).
