It encompasses both the act of prophesying and the content of the prophecy itself. In the Hebrew Bible, prophecy is often associated with foretelling future events, delivering divine judgment, or providing guidance and instruction to the people of Israel.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, prophets played a crucial role as intermediaries between God and the people. They were called to deliver God's messages, which could include warnings, promises, or calls to repentance. Prophecy was not limited to predicting the future but also involved speaking truth into the present circumstances. Prophets were often seen as God's mouthpieces, and their messages were considered authoritative and binding.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/5030.htm">nabi</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>prophecy<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>prophecy (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">נְבוּאָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>prophecy</b></font> (late: earlier synonym <font class="hebrew2">חָזוֺן</font>);
