Looking back to prophecy fulfilled gives evidence to the faithfulness of God's word. With that confidence, looking forward to prophecy yet to be fulfilled gives us hope - and warning.
God tells us about what He will do before He does it.
But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand.
Mark 13:23
Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.

Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done.
Isaiah 46:10
Even from the beginning I have declared it to you; before it came to pass I proclaimed it to you.
Isaiah 48:5
Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.
Amos 3:7
God always warns before judgment - but we must be listening!
