The Role of the Prophet
"Leaving the next day, we reached Caesarea and stayed at the house of Philip the evangelist, one of the Seven. He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied." (Acts 21:8-9)
What is a prophet? In Hebrew, the word for prophet is navi. Some believe the word comes from the verb nava, which means to bubble up. But some modern linguists lean more toward the source being the Akkadian verb nabu, meaning to call.
Some scholars believe the word navi comes from the term niv sefatayim,
meaning fruit of the lips, - which emphasizes the prophet's role as a speaker.
Regardless of the source of the word, the mission of the prophet throughout the Bible is clear — to speak on behalf of God.
