TYPES OF PROPHESIES։ AN INNOVATIVE APPOACH

While prophecy constitutes the most important part of the Bible, it has been, in our opinion, its least analyzed subject. The interpretation of the prophecies has produced the most extensive works in the Christian tradition. While the messages of the prophets have been analyzed in detail, the phenomenon of “prophesy” itself has received little attention. This study presents a brief but innovative approach to the subject of prophecy and its types. An approach from the Jewish tradition handed down from the Middle Ages to the present day is taken and only a summary is presented, while a new diversification is proposed with a different approach. In the first part of this study some studies from the Jewish and Armenian traditions about the types of prophesy are given with examples and examples of diversification are presented. In the second part, the subject of Practical Types of Prophecy, which is our proposition, is discussed and it is explained which types of prophecies should be examined. In conclusion we summarized our purpose and the main parts of the study.
