What Does the Bible Say About Bible Prophecy?

Watching and studying Bible prophecy strengthens the believer by building up faith, encouraging spiritual readiness, and providing comfort in uncertain times. As taught in 1 Corinthians 14:3–4, prophecy is meant for edification, exhortation, and comfort, helping Christians understand God’s plan, remain watchful, and persevere through trials. By paying attention to prophetic Scripture, the church is collectively strengthened—gaining clarity about future hope, motivation to live faithfully, and reassurance that world events unfold under God’s sovereign purpose.
