What is a Prophet?
Well, some people think that a prophet is someone who can see into the future. Someone who can accurately predict coming events, like Nostradamus, but was he really a prophet? A prophet, a true prophet is a messenger of God, and they deliver God’s message, not their own. They don’t need to look into bowls of water with ink in it or gaze into some crystal ball. And they sure don’t need drugs. In Numbers chapter 12 starting at verse 4, And suddenly the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron and Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the tent of meeting.” And the three of them came out. And the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud and stood at the entrance of the tent and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both came forward. And he said, “Hear my words; If there is a prophet among you, I the Lord make myself known to him in a vision, I speak with him in a dream. Not so with my servant Moses. He is faithful in all my house. With him, I speak mouth to mouth, clearly, and not in riddles.
