What Is Prophecy? -Examples of Bible Prophecies Not Involving Predictions

 On one occasion when the Israelites asked God for help, he sent a prophet to explain that because they had refused to obey God's commands, he had not helped them. - JUDGES 6:6-10. 


When Jesus spoke to a Samaritan woman, he revealed things about her past that he could have known  only by divine revelation.  She recognized him as a prophet even though he had made no predictions about the future. - JOHN 4:17-19. 


At Jesus' trial, his enemies covered his face, hit him, and then said: "Prophesy! Who Is it that struck you?"  They were not calling for Jesus to foretell a fortune but for him to identify by divine power who had hit him. - LUKE 22:63, 64.
