Oracles were a branch of divination but differed from the casual pronouncements of augurs by being associated with a definite person or place. For example, the oracles of Zeus originated at Dodona, Olympia, or Siwa; those of the Sibyl were in general circulation, but their provenance was unknown.
The “oracles of God” in the New Testament are the messages or words of God. In Acts 7:38, Stephen speaks of how Moses received “living oracles to give to us” (ESV)—a reference to the life-giving nature of God’s Word.
Oracles are individuals or mediums believed to deliver messages from the gods or the divine. These messages often guide decisions, predict the future, or provide wisdom. From ancient Greece's Delphi to modern interpretations, oracles have played a significant role in shaping cultures and histories. They appear in myths, literature, and even movies.
The ancient oracles were the priestesses and mystics that served their community by entering trance states to communicate with the gods and goddesses of Greece and Rome as well as many other regions in the Mediterranean, North Africa, and Southwest Asia.
In ancient Greece, oracles served as bridges between mortals and the divine. Among them, the most famous was the Oracle of Delphi, dedicated to Apollo. For centuries, leaders and ordinary people alike traveled to Delphi seeking answers about war, politics, colonization, and personal matters.
