Prophet
An individual who is regarded as being in contact with a divine being
Real World Example
In the Ancient Middle East and Egypt from 3200BC to 500BC, prophets were individuals who claimed to communicate messages from divine beings to guide their communities. They often called for moral and social reforms, warning of consequences if people strayed from religious laws. Their actions mattered because they influenced the behavior and decisions of rulers and common people, often preventing chaos and encouraging justice. Today, the legacy of prophets like Moses, who is said to have received the Ten Commandments, still affects our ethical and legal systems, promoting values like honesty and respect. For example, many modern laws against stealing and lying are inspired by these ancient teachings, influencing how societies function and how people interact with one another.
