This is a book of Prophecy is stated in which verse?

• A. Hosea 4:6
• B. Revelation 22:7
• C. Malachi 2:7
• D. Deuteronomy 14:1

Answer: (B)

Prophecy is the defining feature of this book, and the verse in Revelation explicitly frames it as such by blessing those who keep the words of the prophecy of this book. This ties the whole work to prophetic revelation and urges readers to heed its messages, which is exactly what identifies it as a book of prophecy. The other passages come from different genres and themes—Hosea speaks about knowledge and judgment, Malachi about priestly duties and the law, and Deuteronomy about legal commandments—none of which declare the book itself to be a book of prophecy.
