In detail

Believing that "all scripture is given by inspiration of God" (2 Tim. 3:16), most Christians accept the validity of Bible prophecy (here understood in the limited sense of predictive prophecy). The Bible is replete with instances when God foretold future events to enable humans to cooperate intelligently with His divine purpose for them. However, when Christians speak of "prophecies and prophetic interpretation," they refer most often to the prophecies of Daniel and the Revelation and to scattered eschatological passages elsewhere in both the Old and the New Testaments.
