A prophet in the Old

the future. But know that just seeing into the future does not make one a
prophet, because there are people that use magic power, to predict what will
happen in the future - Sorcerers, Spiritists, (medium), Astrologers,
Necromancers, Magicians, Witchcraft, Stargazers, Occultic men, etc.. All these
are classified as false prophets. They use black magic power to predict the
future.

called by God into an office called the PROPHETIC OFFICE, and before you can
