Too often, prophecy is viewed as mysterious or only for scholars. Yet Scripture makes it clear that God did not give prophecy to confuse us — He gave it to transform us. As Paul N. Benware notes, prophetic revelation, like the book of Revelation, was intended to be understood and applied so that believers might be shaped by its truth.
When we approach prophecy with humility and a reliance on the Holy Spirit, it becomes a source of hope, courage, and clarity — not fear. Prophetic revelation points us to Jesus, reminding us that God’s purposes are certain and His kingdom will prevail. In a world of uncertainty, prophecy reassures believers that God is sovereign and His promises stand firm.
