To see that which has not yet happened.
Is this a complete definition?
Most would indeed assume so.
Does prophecy apply to the past as well as the future?
Yes, to see events which have already occurred but have never been revealed.
Is there more then one type of prophecy?
Yes, active and passive.
Active prophecy is the viewing of events where the seer not only views the event but actually partakes in them. Examples of this will be found in the Book of Revelation. Here we see John not only viewing the events but actively taking part in them.
Passive prophecy is the viewing of events where the seer watches an event from the distance through a vision or dream state but has no active participation in the event.
What is the nature of this duality of prophecy?
For centuries past, time has been thought of in linear terms. Only moving in one direction. Moving from the past to the future. As science has evolved it is now understood that time is non-linear and moves in multi dimensional realms.
As we see in the Bible, it is not only future events that can be affected but those events seemingly in the past as well.
This paradox has far reaching implications as the past, present and future are all affected by the events within the past, present and future ….each individually and at the same time….simultaneously.
