What is the job of a prophet?

• A. Teach meditation
• B. Prophesy future events
• C. Mediate (NOT meditate) between God and humans
• D. Lead military campaigns

Answer: (C)

A prophet’s job is to serve as a messenger who speaks for God, acting as a bridge between the divine and people. They convey God’s will, call for repentance, offer guidance, and help interpret events in light of God’s purposes. This mediation—communicating what God desires and how people should respond—is the core function, which is why describing the role as mediating between God and humans is the best fit. Meditating or teaching meditation isn’t the prophet’s main task, predicting future events, while it can be part of prophetic messages, isn’t the central job. Leading military campaigns is outside the typical prophetic role.
