As historian Daniel Boorstin discusses in his bestselling "Seekers", sages or seers were replaced by the Prophets.
Seers were people who claimed to be able to predict future outcomes and as a result, had power in their tribe or community. The next step from there was obviously someone who didnt merely glimpse God's will, but actually was God's mouthpiece.
Real opportunists these "Prophets". I suppose if I existed in their day, I would be tempted to committ the same fraud once i understood what could be gained.
Both prophets and seers exists still exist today, which do you prefer?
