The difference between Seeing and Prophecy
The difference between SEEING and Prophecy
Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Here in Revelation chapter 19, we see the angel telling John not to bow down to him and that he is part of the fellow brethren who carry the testimony of Jesus.
The testimony of Jesus as the New Testament puts it has many elements throughout.
If you are familiar with scripture, you will recall Jesus saying that we will know people by their works, also relating the works to knowing a tree by its fruits, him then telling us that not everyone that calls him lord will enter the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity
In order to understand why Jesus said this, we can look at other scriptures.
In 1 Corinthians Chapters 12 - 13 we are taught about the spiritual gifts that come with the holy spirit. It first begins to point out the diversities of gifts like Prophecy, Speaking in and Interpretation of Tongues, Words of Knowledge, Words of Wisdom and Discerning of Spirits.
The writtings progress through chapter 13 to tell us about the outworking of love(charity) being the greatest gift coupling it with hope and faith, naming faith hope and love as something to pursue.
By chapter 14 it doubles back and reinstates that we aught to seek those very many Spiritual Gifts but by and via charity or love being the greatest gift meaning that the outworking of Love carries those very gifts in it.
This makes sense of why Jesus said that some people will call him lord having excersized some of those spiritual gifts but he will tell them to depart from him saying he never knew them.
We also have mathew 25:31 - 46 where the sheep and goats are mentioned as to what kind of works are done by those who know his voice and inherit the kingdom of God.
Jesus says to those listening that if they saw anyone of the least hungry, thirsty, naked, homeless, sick or imprisoned and they helped them that THEY DID THIS TO HIM Jesus Himslef and they will inherit the kingdom as the sheep.
He also goes on to say that those who saw anyone in these categories and did nothing also did this to him and that they are the goats cast into the lake of fire created for the devil and his angels.
*Making the difference between SEEING and Prophecy*
Because the TESTIMONY Of Jesus (Him Saying he knows us) is the Spirit of Prophecy as Revelation chapter 19 says, we can see by the differece between the sheep and the goats what Jesus meant when he said that many will call him lord but he doesnt know them.
Today many people see in spirit and there are plenty of encounters when someone will anounce to another that they can forsee things like trouble in their lives.
For a more basic example we can consider when someone is alerted spiritualy that another is having problems with hunger or any kind of impoverishment.
For sakes of being alerted that one is hungry, SUCH IS SIGHT or seeing so.
What extends beyond simply SEEING into the realm of it being PROPHECY as the Testimony of Jesus carries, the one whom sees that someone is hungry then TAKES ACTION and makes an effort to share their bread(food) with them (Isaiah58). In the case that individual doesnt have enough at the moment it is definately why there is such a thing as COMMUNITY EFFORT amongst brothers and sisters in Christ for such occasions.
James 2 also carries more about this matter.
James 2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
2:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
This is why James chapter 1 carries that we should be doers of the word and not only hearers as well as that true religion is visiting orphans and widows in their affliction.
A lot of times people know that there are many in their community that are in need in one way or the other but they are rarely driven to take any action even with the little that they have to help those who are less fortunate.
It is definately the Holy Spirit's outworking that drives anyone with the compassion to extend themselves unto others when they can see that someone is in need of what they themselves have.
It shiuld be fully understood that for matters such as national events, certain global distresses and pestilences, famines as well as wars and such, this can be counted prophecy but is contextualy still sight or foresight because Jesus himself did alert people that during the times after his resurection there will be much tribulation all over the earth in various ways as we await the finality of the fall of babylon in chapter 17 and 18 of the book of revelation leading to chapter 19 and 20.
