How about some NT prophecy in the book of Revelation? Full of God's judgments! Not much encouragement there until the very end.

That was the point. The function of prophecy in the Old Testament differed to what prophecy should be in the church age, meaning NT prophecy. John's prophecy was the last of that kind as stated in Rev 22:18.

Prophecy today is to build up the church yet guys like Piper act like Jeremiah and declare God's judgments when instead we should be defining and declaring the Gospel of Jesus Christ. That's prophecy for today.
