When God warned the ancient world of the coming judgment, He used prophets. For example, in the time of the Exodus, God used Moses to lead the people out of Egypt to Canaan.

Moses was more than a prophet, he was also the leader of the people. Moses had to prepare a people for their entry into the Promised Land and this great event serves as a type for the final gathering of God's people and their entry into the heavenly Canaan. Surely, if a prophet was deemed necessary for the preparation for earthly Canaan, how much more so for the heavenly Canaan. The Bible predicts that the remnant will possess the Spirit of Prophecy and that the restoration of this gift would be one of the issues that Satan would war against:

And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ (Revelation 12:17).

The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy (Revelation 19:10 NKJV).

God's remnant must thus possess the Spirit of Prophecy in order to qualify as the remnant. There is nothing more dangerous to Satan than the clear revelation of God's will, which is why Satan tries to cast doubt on or counterfeit God's truths.

It is therefore vital that we understand the Biblical criteria for the manifestation of the gift of prophecy, and that we understand the reasons why God grants this gift in the first place, so that we will not be swept away by Satan's deceptions. The following articles are to help you understand the issues involved so you will not be deceived.
