Prophecy
In the Abrahamic religions , is a prophecy in words or writings divinely inspired by a person receives revelation.
For Christians , the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy ( Apocalypse 19:10). A prophecy may relate to past, present or future. When a person prophesies, she said or wrote what God wants her to know, for its own sake or for the good of others. Prophecy is not the exclusive prerogative of prophets. A person may receive a prophecy or a revelation to his personal life (see personal revelation ).
Summary |
Besides the prophets of the Old Testament and other religions, there are characters who are called "prophets" in everyday language and how their visions for the future are not really prophecies, but rather predictions , of speculation, conjecture, or maxims like it but that does not refer directly to the divine. They then rather use the astrology or special mystical sources or any other source esoteric. Examples:
- Oracle of Tibet
- Vegoia
- Pythia
- Cassandra
- George
- Tiresias
- Nostradamus
- Alois Irlmaier
- Mhlhiasl
- Andreas Rill (although, frankly, Andreas Rill has a transmitter role).
- Jean de Vezelay published in France in 1994 and contains no source. Jean de Vezelay was one of the Crusaders who took part in the capture of Jerusalem in 1099, was linked with the Templars and have written seven manuscripts. Only comments from the sixth, found in the monastery of Zagorsk in 1992 and the seventh recovered in 1941 by the SS in Poland and then kept in the KGB archives have allowed the transmission of prophecies concerning the third millennium.
