This is the temporary layout for topic pages. For now this will just be a short description followed by a list of relevant verses. Later on, the verses will be organized into a comprehensive explanation of the topic.

Prophesy describes instances where individuals (called Prophets) are given direct and exclusive revelation from God, and then share that revelation with others as such, without modification or error. Prophets can receive their revelation by direct interaction with God while awake, as well as in dreams or visions. The information shared by these means is protected by God from error in its retransmission, as it says in 2 Peter 1:21, "For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit." This topic will accumulate verses relevant to an understanding of Prophesy, the distinctions enabling us to distinguish false prophesies, and the laws and penalties regulating its occurrence.
