QUESTION?
What is a prophet?
ANSWER!
The greeks had a word for it. The word prophēteuo is a combination of the prefix pro-, meaning “before” and the rootphe-, referring to speech. Prophēteuo means to speak publicly, or to speak of something before it happens. Moses was a prophet (Deut. 34:10 ), and although he made some predictions, his greater role was to tell people about their current responsibilities.
Todays gospel Matthew 7:15 warns us of false prophets that would come after Our Lord Jesus Christ. Exhibit is Mohammed, he is the epitome of a false prophet.
