Oversettelse - Latin-Engelsk - Large prophetia est denunciationis futuroru...

Broadly understood prophecy is a word prediction of future events, or figurative expression of them, and all the books of the Old Testament also indicate, that either they are called prophetical or contain prophecies, because they disclose the shape of things to come: all of them appearing in the Old Testament make the allusion to what is going to happen in the New Testament, what becomes evident in Chapter 10 of the First Epistle to the Corinthians. All the things figuratively expressed took place there: especially we can say that the prophecy is a herald of the future included in a word, or of the events predicted by the prophets and thus all the books written by the prophets, as all that they contain was predicted in a prophetical way, with an announcement of the future, they are called prophetical books, hence the Book of Psalms and the Book of Daniel are prophetical, because they contain some announcements of things to come. And precisely, prophecy is an announcement of the future or of events expressed in a different way and by the prophets, and this is how the prophecy differs from the Book of Psalms and the Book of Daniel, since these are not announcements of events in a different way. They say also that in this way, the Book of Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and two Books of Kings are prophetical because they talk about men, who were prophets in a different way.
