prophet
Foreteller of events
A prophet is someone who speaks on behalf of a deity, conveying divine messages or commands to others.
In religious traditions, prophets like Moses, Isaiah, or Muhammad are figures through whom God communicates.
The word extends to anyone who predicts future events or advocates powerfully for a cause: a prophet of doom, a prophet of the digital age.
To be a prophet without honor in one's own country is to go unrecognized where you're best known.
