Example 1 "You're a prophet, you too hear voices and know that there a world beyond this world"(8). The man that Elijah is in hiding with explains the extent of a prophet's mindset. He exclaims that prophets believe in a biblical world that is separate from the world in which they live.
Example 2 "a nabi, a prophet, a 'man of the spirit! One who exalts himself with the word of God"(9). In this quote, Elijah's friend acknowledges their duties and special characteristics as prophets. They generally spread the word of the Lord as they are amongst the few are spoken to by Him or His angels.
