A prophet is someone who delivers messages from God in the Old Testament. They spoke the word of God to the people and occasionally got pwned by mobs who don't like the message they preach. There will be no more prophets until Jesus returns, and then it will be only him.

Zechariah 1:6 But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, Like as the LORD of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.
Chronicles II 36:15 And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:
Luke 1:70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
Peter II 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Ezekiel 3:17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
Ezra 5:2 Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem: and with them were the prophets of God helping them.
Luke 10:24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

A prophet is a person annointed by God and is filled with the holy spirit, and his being is of a divine nature and his words are truth.

A prophet is someone that eats to many magic mushrooms so that he can have a vision of some sort that's all.

As Decartes said, "Religion came about when the first rascal met the first idiot." A prophet is a profit.

When you sell something for more than it cost you, then the extra amount you make from it is a prophet. : )

A PROPHET IS A CHOSEN PERSON THAT HAS A TASK...THEIR TASK IS TO SPREAD THE WORD OF GOD....THEY MUST EVANGELIZE AND SPREAD THE GOSPEL...FOR EXAMPLE MAHAMOUD WAS A PROPHET CHOSEN BY GOD TO SPREAD GODS WORD....THEREFORE DUE TO HIS WORDS HE CREATED ISLAM

Two kinds.
One is a messenger of the one true God.
The other is the self-proclaimed...delusional, perverted and twisted.
