Conclusion

Here ends for now the journey to the prophetic voice in the New Testament. Prophecy is widely found in the New Testament. Actually, the entire New Testament has to do with prophecy. Its Author behind the human authors is the Holy Spirit, who uses these human instrumentalities in a supernatural way so as to communicate to them truth about the Godhead, truth that has to do with knowledge about the plan of salvation, and truth regarding practical Christian living. Prophecy is not just given to enhance one’s rational abilities and broaden one’s horizon, although this is important. It has been given to allow people to live with God on a daily basis.GOP 83.6

The prologue of Revelation summarizes well what through the prophetic word God has revealed and given to us in Christ (Rev. 1:4-7): (1) We are loved; (2) we have been freed from our sins, redeemed, saved; (3) we have been made God’s representatives; and (4) we expect Jesus’ soon coming with great joy.GOP 83.7

It is more than worthwhile; it is actually life-changing to listen to the prophetic voice of the Holy Spirit speaking to us through the Scriptures and the prophetic ministry of authentic nonca- nonical genuine prophets such as Ellen G. White.GOP 83.8
