The prophet is the bearer and interpreter of the Word of God Ex: 4:15-16 Jr. 1:9 The prophet are aware that their message is from God, introducing it with the words: “YHWH declares”, “Word of YHWH” or “Prophesy of YHWH” 先知 This word compels them and they must speak it. Am 3:8; Jer 20:7-10 At some point in their lives each received an irresistible divine call, Am7:15, Is 6, Jr 1:4-10 先知 These men were sent to proclaim God’s demands and to be “signs” of this divine will in their own persons.

He has no doubt that the word of God has come to him and that he must pass it on to others. 先知 The source of his conviction is the mystical and mysterious way of his experience of a direct contact with God 先知 The prophet’s message relates to both present and future. His mission is to the men of his own time and nation But his message stands beyond time since what he declares is the will of the Lord to his people.
