Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry for prophecy is Strong's Greek Number G4394, προφητεία (prophēteia). This term is used in the New Testament to describe the gift of prophecy, the act of prophesying, and the content of prophetic messages. Like its Hebrew counterpart, προφητεία involves divine revelation and the communication of God's will, often serving to edify, exhort, and comfort the church.

Usage: The term נְבוּאָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the act of prophesying or the content of a prophetic message. It is often associated with divine revelation and the communication of God's will to His people through chosen individuals known as prophets.

Context: נְבוּאָה (nevu'ah) is a significant concept in the Hebrew Bible, representing the communication of divine messages to humanity. Prophets, who were chosen by God, served as intermediaries to convey His will, warnings, and promises. The role of prophecy was central to guiding the Israelites, providing them with direction, correction, and hope. Prophecies often included predictions about future events, calls for repentance, and assurances of God's faithfulness. The authenticity of a נְבוּאָה was validated by its alignment with God's character and the fulfillment of its predictions. Notable prophets in the Hebrew Bible include Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel, each delivering messages that shaped the spiritual and social landscape of their time.
