The Prophecy series is a supernatural horror franchise that explores the dark side of celestial beings, focusing on angels who wage war over humanity's fate. The series begins with Christopher Walken's portrayal of the fallen angel Gabriel, who resents God's preference for humans over angels and seeks to tip the balance of the celestial war.

This watch order presents the complete saga as it was released, starting with the original theatrical film and continuing through four direct-to-video sequels. While the first three films form a connected trilogy centered around Gabriel's schemes, the final two films shift focus to new characters and storylines but maintain continuity within the same supernatural universe.
