What is a False Prophet? The English word `prophet comes from the Greek `pro phe tes. `Pro phe tes literally means `a speaker out [Gr. pro, `before or `in front of, and phe-mi, `to speak], and thus describes a proclaimer, one who makes known messages attributed to a divine source. (Compare Titus 1:12.) Though the English word retains this same basic meaning, to many persons today it conveys only the restricted thought of a predicter of the future. But, as the foregoing information shows, the fundamental meaning of the word is not that of prediction.
