Prophecy is a difficult state to obtain because, in addition to the demands it makes on the individual, it ... requires a very high state of holiness in the general environment. When the Jewish people lived in the land of Israel and the Aron HaKodesh (Holy Ark) was kept in the Beis HaMikdash (The Holy Temple), this state of holiness existed in the land of Israel. Since the time of the destruction of the first Beis HaMikdash, prophecy and other forms of Divine Inspiration have become progressively more difficult to obtain. Today, for all purposes, true prophecy does not exist. It will return to the Jewish people in the time of Moshiach.

Prophecy falls into two main categories: Prophecy about someone else, and prophecy about you. The first category stands as a supernatural witness to identify someone as a true prophet. The second category is a whole other story. For example, William Branham's prophecy that Los Angeles will sink into the Pacific Ocean is not going to directly impact someone living in Budapest. However, someone in Los Angeles who learns of this prophecy will have to make a concious decision to believe or disbelieve the prophecy - and then either move or stay, accepting the consequences of either decision.

Prophecy is not restricted to men. There have been many holy women who have attained the level of prophecy, many to an even higher degree than most men.

There are many others.

Prophecy often consisted of a warning that God's wrath would destroy the people if they disobeyed God or did not repent. Prophecies sometimes included promises of blessing for obeying God or repenting. Warning prophecies feature in Jewish scripture (Elijah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, etc.) and in the Christian New Testament (John the Baptist, Jesus, etc.). Prophecies sometimes foretell the coming of a divine figure, such as Jesus, or appear in apocalyptic literature, such as Daniel or Revelation.
