Understanding Bible ProphecyFrom biblical times prophets acts as intermediary between God and the people and they were spiritual advisers to the Kings of Israel. Apart from hearing from and speaking for God, they also had powers to see the future and perform miracles.To properly understand biblical prophecy, we must understand some fundamental concepts relating to properly interpreting biblical prophecy. There are several view-points people hold when interpreting Bible prophecy. Some believe that all Bible prophecy has been fulfilled (the preterist view). Some believe that all prophecy is yet to be fulfilled (the futurist view). Some believe that some prophecy has been fulfilled, and some is yet to be fulfilled (the partial preterest view). I hold to the latter view.Let's look at the various types of prophecies in the Bible. First, there are long range, short range and mid-range prophecies. Secondly, there are prophecies that have been fulfilled, one's that haven't been fulfilled, and ones that have dual or even multiple fulfillment.To know whether a prophecy has been fulfilled already, one must have an understanding of historical events. If the prophecy has already been fulfilled, it may or may not have any future prophetic fulfillment.
