The meaning of Foretell; Foretold in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)for-tel', for-told': The King James Version occurrences of these words in the New Testament represent as many Greek terms, and are in each case rendered differently in Revised Version: (1) Mark 13:23 (proeipon), the Revised Version (British and American) "told beforehand"; (2) Acts 3:24 (prokataggello), the Revised Version (British and American) simply "told"; (3) II Corinthians 13:2 (prolego), the Revised Version (British and American) "said beforehand," margin "plainly"; compare I Thessalonians 3:4. The foretelling of future events is claimed in the Old Testament as a prerogative of Yahweh (Isaiah 41:22-23; Isaiah 42:9, etc.; compare Deuteronomy 18:22).
