Biblical prophecy is doctrine of foreknowledge and predictions in the Bible. Seventeen of the books of the Old Testament are the writings of prophets, from Isaiah to Malachi, who are considered the Men of God. Women of God are also mentioned in the Bible such as Deborah. These prophets spoke to the children of Israel, usually concerning rewards and punishment dependent on following the word of God.

End time prophecy[]

The Book of Revelation, in addition to various passages in New Testament, warn of prerequisites and calamity that will culminate in the Second Coming.
