A prophet is a person regarded as divinely inspired to speak for or deliver messages from a deity. In many religious traditions, prophets serve as intermediaries who reveal God's or a divine being's will to people. They often convey truths about current moral and spiritual issues and can sometimes foresee or reveal future events. Prophets function as spokespersons, teachers, or advocates for divine truth, guiding and warning their communities. In the Bible, prophets played a crucial role in communicating God's messages, calling for repentance, justice, and faithfulness, and announcing future promises or judgments. The term can also refer to those who predict the future or lead a religious movement inspired by supernatural insight.
