In Red Church today, Joseph Z breaks down the types of prophecy: Roeh, Nabi, Chazah, and Chozeh, explaining how revelation must be interpreted and applied with maturity in God’s word.
Joseph highlights the various types of prophecy: the Roeh, who are visionaries, possess a gift for leadership and mobilization. The Nabi serves as a herald, akin to a trumpet that proclaims, while Chazah means to gaze. Chozeh, on the other hand, refers to peering into the distance or the future. He clarifies that there are major and minor aspects to these prophecies, indicating that one can operate within different dimensions of prophetic insight. He outlines the steps to achieving prophetic clarity: revelation, interpretation, and application.

Joseph then reminds us of the two prophets in the Old Testament, Ezekiel and Jeremiah, both of whom received the same revelation about King Hezekiah but conveyed it in contrasting ways, making it seem contradictory. He references 2 Kings 25 to illustrate how these seemingly opposing prophecies ultimately proved to be true in both respects. Joseph clarifies that both prophets were correct; they simply operated from different perspectives and levels of understanding concerning the revelation.
He asserts once more that revelation and experiences do not define truth; only God’s Word does. He explains that demonic entities thrive on our attention and encourages us to stand firm on God’s Word to resist them, reminding us that "greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world." Interestingly, he emphasizes that consistently studying God’s Word, praying in the Holy Spirit, and engaging in fellowship with the right people can help bring our gifts to life.
Moreover, he reveals that God is raising up a mature movement of leaders, urging us to practice humility, let go of offenses, and continue progressing in our walk with Christ. He points out that the U.S. will experience a challenging period but assures us that revival and reformation will emerge from the storm, leading to a new and different America. In conclusion, he provides a prophetic timeline for the coming years, urging us to persistently strike the ground until we see victory.
