Jesus Christ is the Revealer. He wants us informed so that we might be motivated to keep His Word. That's the bottom line on why prophecy is given. It is to motivate us to keep His Word. It is not intended by God just to be an intriguing set of information or knowledge that we might glory in, but do nothing about. And when I say, "do His Word," I mean that we might overcome and grow in character, in wisdom, in understanding, and in our effectiveness of revealing God in our lives.
