Prophets: Preacher

A preacher can also be called a spokesman for God, a messenger with God’s message.  It was thus that Nathan the prophet functioned when he said to David after his seduction of Bathsheba, “Thou art the man!”  (2nd Sam. 12:7).  Similarly, John the Baptist, greatest among the prophets, apart from Christ, proclaimed, “Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”  (Matt. 3:2)
