The Difference Between Prophecy and Prophesy
 

Remember this rule...

Prophecy (prah-feh-see)-this word has a c in it, thus making the pronunciation easy to remember (see-c).

Prophesy (prah-feh-si)-this word has a s in it. The ending is pronounced 'sigh'.

These two words are the most commonly misapplied words and it drives me crazy. Now that I've cleared it up for you, I feel better.

Learn this, and carry on!:tease

I've had a pet peeve about this, too. lol

Re: The Difference Between Prophecy and Prophesy
 

The key difference of course, is that one is a noun, the other a verb.

Prophecy.... Noun. She gave a prophecy in church yesterday.

Prophesy.... Verb. The anointing came on him and he began to prophesy.
