Lesson Vocabulary

  • Prophet
    :
    In the Old Testament, the prophets were God’s spokespersons who made known God’s message to His people. They proclaimed hope and salvation to the people if they would repent and worship God. Jesus fulfills this role not by speaking for God, but because He is God. He did God’s will throughout His life and spoke God’s truth to the people. He revealed God to the people and taught about God’s law and love. (2) One of the original roles God gave to Adam in the Garden of Eden. The task of a prophet in the Old Testament was to speak on God’ behalf and be His spokesperson. Adam was given the job of naming all of the animals, a right reserved for their creator. Adam, then, was God’s spokesperson and acted as the first prophet.
