Question

Foretelling

Answer 1

Declaration of future events .

Answer 2

explaining present from God’s perspective and bringing strength to God’s people to overcome in the situation and move into his purposes. As an example, take the early church’s decision to free Gentile believers from having to keep the Jewish law. This was a momentous and controversial decision. Via Paul and Barnabas, the apostles in Jerusalem sent a letter to Antioch – then the centre of Gentile Christianity – explaining the decision and that faith in Jesus alone was the means to salvation. They also sent two prophets, Judas and Silas. “So the men were sent off and went down to Antioch, where they gathered the church together and delivered the letter. The people read it and were glad for its encouraging message. Judas and Silas, who themselves were prophets, said much to encourage and strengthen the believers.” (Acts 15:30-32 NIV) They didn’t predict the future, but explained the present, encouraging and strengthening the church. While accurate foretelling is a great blessing to the church, perhaps forthtelling is needed even more right now: to bring encouragement, strength, and comfort to a hurting world, which after all is the great heart of prophecy.
