What does the Bible say about the purpose of prophecy?

Answered in 1 source

The purpose of prophecy is to reveal God's plan for salvation through Jesus Christ.

The Bible teaches that the spirit of prophecy centers around the testimony of Jesus Christ. As mentioned in Revelation 19:10, 'the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.' This highlights that all the history of mankind and prophetic revelations ultimately serve to glorify Christ and point to His redemptive work. Prophecies like those in Daniel serve to prepare God's people for the coming of the Messiah by establishing the historical context and foreshadowing the events leading to Christ's sacrifice.
