Beginning in Old Testament times there were men known as
prophets who declared or spoke forth God`s word. These
prophets were "mouthpieces" of God with personalities
similar to ours, and they would get a Word from the Lord
and speak it out using their own personalities, and the
message spoken out or written was the very word of God.
2 Pet 1:20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of
Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy
never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke
as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
These prophecies declared blessings or curses, dealing
with the present or future. They were given ideally to
strengthen the people and give them hope in the Lord. The
Jewish faith was preserved through the prophets and the
Lord was brought near to Israel. Jehovah was seen as the
ruler of the world, in whose hands are the destinies of
the future. Through these prophecies the Jews recognized
their God and realized His presence and divine
providence. As a nation they experienced oppression and
sorrow, and so also as a nation they were often cheered
up by the prophets with messages of future deliverance
and victory over their enemies.

The most important prophecies to the Jewish church and
nation were the "Messianic Prophecies". Words about a
Messiah King who would reign in righteousness. This was
the Jewish faith and hope. In His days Judah would be
saved, and Israel would dwell in safety. This more than
anything else, preserved the faith of the nation to
Jehovah their God. Though beaten down by their enemies,
though carried captive into foreign lands, yet their
spirits rose with the hopes of final deliverance and
future greatness. They looked forward to a time when
Messiah their anointed King, to whom the heathen would be
given for an inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the
earth for a possession, would rule over them.
It may be that they misunderstood the nature and meaning
of their prophecies; it may be that they overlooked the
predictions relating to the sufferings of the Messiah,
thinking only of His glorious reign, but still these
Messianic hopes were the life of the nation, and the
source of all that was beautiful in it. Were it not for
the hope in a Messiah, the Jewish religion would have
degenerated into a dry performance of ceremony and
ritual, without any insight into their meaning, without
any understanding of the nothingness of mere form and
outward religion and of the necessity of spiritual
worship.
