11. Prophecy – Prophets were spokesmen for God, with a message inspired by His Spirit that often included predictions about near and remote events. Their prophecies, given orally at first, were often written down and included in the Scriptures.

12.

Christ is the central theme of Scripture, and the Spirit guides persons to right interpretation.
