Prophet

Prophets prophesy prophecies as a prophecy. Some prophets are false prophets. Formerly in Israel, a prophet was called a seer. (1 Samuel 9:9) The second section of the Hebrew Bible is The Prophets.

They are the foundation of the household of God with Christ Jesus himself the cornerstone.

Prophecies

There are two major types of prophetic oracle: the oracle of salvation and the oracle of judgment.

Verses

• Ephesians 2:19 - So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.
