ACTED PROPHECIES:
In addition to spoken prophecy, God had the prophets visually act out a message. For example, God told Jeremiah to:
. . . Make thee bonds and yokes and put them upon thy neck. . . (Jeremiah 27:2)
These yokes were a visual prophecy of the yokes of bondage which were to come on the people because of their sin. Jeremiah acted out the prophetic message of God.
THE SOURCE OF PROPHECY
The source of Biblical prophecy is God who reveals His message to man through the Holy Spirit:
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man; but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (II Peter 1:21)
But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. (I Corinthians 2:10)
God can speak accurately of the future because:
Known unto God are all His works from the beginning of the world. (Acts 15:18)
Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me.
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure. (Isaiah 46:9-10)
God raises up true prophets:
The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken. (Deuteronomy 18:15)
God reveals His future plans to these prophets:
Surely the Lord God will do nothing but He revealeth His secret unto His servants the prophets. (Amos 3:7)
