the son of Berechiah,
the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
2 The Lord hath been sore displeased with your fathers.
3 Therefore say thou unto them,
Thus saith the Lord of hosts;
Turn ye unto me,
saith the Lord of hosts,
and I will turn unto you,
saith the Lord of hosts.
4 Be ye not as your fathers,
unto whom the former prophets have cried,
saying,
Thus saith the Lord of hosts;
Turn ye now from your evil ways,
and from your evil doings:
but they did not hear,
nor hearken unto me,
saith the Lord.
5 Your fathers, where are they?
and the prophets, do they live for ever?
6 But my words and my statutes,
which I commanded my servants the prophets,
did they not take hold of your fathers?
and they returned and said,
Like as the Lord of hosts thought to do unto us,
according to our ways,
and according to our doings,
so hath he dealt with us.

lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife:
for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
21 And she shall bring forth a son,
and thou shalt call his name Jesus:
for he shall save his people from their sins.
22 Now all this was done,
that it might be fulfilled
which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet,
saying,
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child,
and shall bring forth a son,
and they shall call his name Emmanuel,
which being interpreted is,
God with us.
Matthew 11:7-11
King James Version
7 And as they departed,
Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John,
What went ye out into the wilderness to see?
A reed shaken with the wind?
8 But what went ye out for to see?
A man clothed in soft raiment?
behold,
they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.
9 But what went ye out for to see?
A prophet?
yea, I say unto you,
and more than a prophet.
10 For this is he, of whom it is written,
Behold,
I send my messenger before thy face,
which shall prepare thy way before thee.
11 Verily I say unto you,
Among them that are born of women
there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist:
notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven
is greater than he.
Matthew 11:11-15

this is Elias, which was for to come.
15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

in the house of his servant David;
70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets,
which have been since the world began:
71 That we should be saved from our enemies,
and from the hand of all that hate us;
72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers,
and to remember his holy covenant;
73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,

that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies
might serve him without fear,
75 In holiness and righteousness before him,
all the days of our life.

whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
79 To give light to them that sit in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the way of peace.

and waxed strong in spirit,
and was in the deserts
till the day of his shewing unto Israel.

gave thanks likewise unto the Lord,
and spake of him to all them
that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

to condemn the world;
but that the world through him might be saved.
Acts 2:29-30
King James Version
29 Men and brethren,
let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David,
that he is both dead and buried,
and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.

and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him,
that of the fruit of his loins,
according to the flesh,
he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

Thus saith the Holy Ghost,
So shall the Jews at Jerusalem
bind the man that owneth this girdle,
and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.

both we, and they of that place,
besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Romans 1:1-6
King James Version
1 Paul,
a servant of Jesus Christ,
called to be an apostle,
separated unto the gospel of God,
2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets
in the holy scriptures,)
3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord,
which was made of the seed of David
according to the flesh;
4 And declared to be the Son of God with power,
according to the spirit of holiness,
by the resurrection from the dead:
5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship,
for obedience to the faith among all nations,
for his name:
6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
Romans 3:21-22
King James Version
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law
is manifested,
being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God
which is by faith of Jesus Christ
unto all and upon all them that believe:
for there is no difference:
1 Corinthians 12:6-11
King James Version
6 And there are diversities of operations,
but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit
is given to every man to profit withal.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom;
to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 To another faith by the same Spirit;
to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10 To another the working of miracles;
to another prophecy;
to another discerning of spirits;
to another divers kinds of tongues;
to another the interpretation of tongues:
11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit,
dividing to every man severally as he will.

speaketh unto men
to edification,
and exhortation,
and comfort.
1 Corinthians 14:26
King James Version

when ye come together,
every one of you hath a psalm,
hath a doctrine,
hath a tongue,
hath a revelation,
hath an interpretation.
Let all things be done unto edifying.
1 Corinthians 14:29-33
King James Version
29 Let the prophets speak two or three,
and let the other judge.
30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by,
let the first hold his peace.
31 For ye may all prophesy one by one,
that all may learn,
and all may be comforted.
32 And the spirits of the prophets
are subject to the prophets.
33 For God is not the author of confusion,
but of peace,
as in all churches of the saints.
Ephesians 2:18-20
King James Version
18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit
unto the Father.
19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners,
but fellowcitizens with the saints,
and of the household of God;
20 And are built upon the foundation
of the apostles and prophets,
Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
Ephesians 4:10-13
King James Version
10 He that descended
is the same also that ascended up
far above all heavens,
that he might fill all things.)
11 And he gave some, apostles;
and some, prophets;
and some, evangelists;
and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints,
for the work of the ministry,
for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith,
and of the knowledge of the Son of God,
unto a perfect man,
unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Hebrews 1:1-2
King James Version
1 God,
who at sundry times and in divers manners
spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son,
whom he hath appointed heir of all things,
by whom also he made the worlds;
1 Peter 1:3-10
King James Version
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
which according to his abundant mercy
hath begotten us again unto a lively hope
by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible,
and undefiled,
and that fadeth not away,
reserved in heaven for you,
5 Who are kept by the power of God
through faith unto salvation
ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice,
though now for a season, if need be,
ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
7 That the trial of your faith,
being much more precious than of gold that perisheth,
though it be tried with fire,
might be found unto praise and honour and glory
at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 Whom having not seen, ye love;
in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing,
ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Receiving the end of your faith,
even the salvation of your souls.
10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired
and searched diligently,
who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
2 Peter 1:19-21
King James Version
19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy;
whereunto ye do well that ye take heed,
as unto a light that shineth in a dark place,
until the day dawn,
and the day star arise in your hearts:
20 Knowing this first,
that no prophecy of the scripture
is of any private interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time
by the will of man:
but holy men of God spake
as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Revelation 1:1-2
King James Version
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ,
which God gave unto him,
to shew unto his servants
things which must shortly come to pass;
and he sent and signified it by his angel
unto his servant John:
2 Who bare record of the word of God,
and of the testimony of Jesus Christ,
and of all things that he saw.
Revelation 19:10
King James Version
10 And I fell at his feet to worship him.
And he said unto me,
See thou do it not:
I am thy fellowservant,
and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus:
worship God:
for the testimony of Jesus
is the spirit of prophecy.
TRUE prophets are "holy men of God", moved by the HOLY SPIRIT.
