The big difference between knowledge and prophecy are that in knowledge you learn it on your own. While in Prophecy it is the word of god revealed to you.

A word of knowledge Is God revealing to you information about an individual that you simply would not know. It has nothing to do with future events but anything that has happened in the past or currently going on.

example: I tell you your name and address without knowing you at all or I tell you about past abuse as a child.

Prophecy is God revealing details about future events that have not occurred.

example: I tell you that you will have a child in 9 months that you will be promoted.

Both are gifts from God but can be tactics of Satan used to lure people astray from the truth of Jesus Christ.

A biblical example of both gifts would be found in the story of Jesus and the samartian woman at the well. Jesus revealed to her past indiscretions and her current issues. Then proceeded to prophecy about future events. Check it out.
