divine prophecy
God's revealed future
Divine prophecy is a message or prediction believed to come from a god or supernatural source, typically delivered through a human intermediary such as a prophet or oracle.
The phrase implies the prophecy carries ultimate authority—not mere human speculation but revelation from above: The priest claimed divine prophecy foretold the king's downfall.
Divine prophecy features prominently in religious texts and apocalyptic traditions.
