It is often associated with prophecy or forewarning, where a speaker, often under divine inspiration, reveals events or truths that are to come. This term emphasizes the aspect of prior declaration or prediction.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, prophecy and foretelling were not uncommon, with oracles and seers playing significant roles in society. However, in the Jewish and early Christian context, prophecy was understood as a divine communication from God, often delivered through prophets. The use of "prolegó" in the New Testament aligns with this understanding, where the foretelling is not merely a prediction but a revelation from God.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4302</b> <i>prolégō</i> (from <a href="/greek/4253.htm">4253</a> <i>/pró</i>, "in advance" and <a href="/greek/3004.htm">3004</a> <i>/légō</i>, "<i>speaking</i> to a conclusion") – properly, to say (conclude) beforehand, declaring in advance.</p><p class="discovery">For the believer, <a href="/greek/4302.htm">4302</a> <i>/prolégō</i> ("summarize in advance") is admonishing someone to follow the Lord's leading (direction) – to spare them from certain pain (cf.
