How did language break away from the ancient definition as a 'warning', or a 'condition/plan' if the ancient peoples didnt even mean that? This cannot be simply a matter of language evolving can it? Could we have gotten it that baddly? When people think of the word ‘prophecy’ they automatically interpret it as “fortelling or prediction of what is to come” as defined in any dictionary.

I have always been confused about whether the prophecy was about the coming of Jesus or the new covenant like they state on page 182. This cleared up a lot for me!

If not, what did they do?
