Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
1 Corinthians 14:1 presents the gift of prophecy as an endowment bestowed upon the church. It is the appointed channel through which the Holy Spirit makes known to the followers of Christ things to come. This work is accomplished by divine illumination. That illumination enables speaking of past events in fuller detail than existing records set forth and reading the future with more than human foresight.
