Prophecy vs. Prophesy

Matt — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 03:07:23 +0000

For my own personal reference, I make this note on the difference between prophecy and prophesy. One is a noun and the other is a verb. I will probably get it wrong if I haven’t already, but here it is:

- PROPHECY: Noun. (”prah-fess-ee”)
- PROPHESY: Verb. (”prah-feh-sigh”)

As far as I can tell this is accurate… correct me otherwise.

An Isaiaic Prophecy Fulfilled

Matt — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 02:54:21 +0000

Isaiah prophesies of the coming forth of the fullness of the Gospel in such detail as to mention the things spoken to Joseph Smith during the First Vision:

“Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men.”

- Isaiah 29:13

Now we see this prophecy fulfilled.

“… they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.”

- The Lord Jesus Christ, as revealed to Joseph Smith, a modern prophet, explaining the need for the opening of this dispensation of the true gospel of Jesus Christ. JSH 1:19

The true Church is indeed upon the earth — we have it here, in its fullness, and its complete truth: all we need to know pertaining to our salvation and the proper worship of our Lord and God, who are defined as two separate and distinct beings (”… and I saw two Personages … and [He] said, pointing to the other — This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!” -JSH 1:17, emphasis added). There is much to be had in the Gospel of Jesus Christ with faith, proper study, and humility to accept it. With these things, the Spirit will touch the hearts of souls seeking the truth.

The Book of Mormon prophesies of Jesus Christ.

“And lo, he shall suffer temptations, and pain of body, hunger, thirst, and fatigue, even more than man can suffer, except it be unto death; for behold, blood cometh from every pore, so great shall be his anguish for the wickedness and the abominations of his people. And he shall be called Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of heaven and earth, the Creator of all things from the beginning.”
