How do we know prophecy is true?

Answered in 2 sources

Prophecy is confirmed through its alignment with Scripture and its fulfillment, showcasing God's faithfulness (Hebrews 2:4).

The truth of prophecy is established through the rigorous testing against the written Word of God. In Hebrews 2:4, we read that God bore witness to His Word with signs and wonders, adding weight to the truthfulness of the prophetic messages. True prophets, as outlined in Scripture, consistently speak in congruence with God's established revelation. Additionally, the ultimate test is the fulfillment of the prophecy itself; a genuine prophecy will come to pass as foretold. Believers are encouraged to evaluate the source and content of prophesying, as not all who claim prophetic insight are true prophets. The character and message of the prophet should align with the Gospel, affirming the centrality of Christ (Deuteronomy 13:1-5).
