A prophet tells the people how all will remain well if they follow the word of the Lord. For example, when Saul one of the Kings of Israel disobeys God, he is punished with the death of his sons and himself. The website "Role of Prophet" claims "When the prophet knows the heart and mind of the Lord, he speaks the word of the Lord to his people." The prophet does not act upon the Lord until reached out to by Him. That is what defines a prophet. Communicating with the Lord and His angels then spreading it to the community. | A prophet tells the people how all will remain well if they follow the word of the Lord.
