Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary

(imp. & p. p.) of Foretell.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

FORETELL; FORETOLD

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) 2 Corinthians 13:2 (prolego), the Revised Version (British and American) "said beforehand," margin "plainly"; compare 1 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).

See PROPHECY.
