“If you repent”
Well said. A prophet is a person who “predicts” that course A will lead to result B.
Course C will lead to result D.
When Summers predicted that the American Recovery Act would lead to inflation which would lead to the Fed raising interest rates which would lead to poor economic growth he was a prophet. His prophecy was based on the part of economics that Keynes, Chicago School and Austrians all agree on.
When Moynihan (then Democrat) predicted that destruction of the two parent family would lead to crime and many other problems he was a prophet. Most Democrats at that time (LBJ, Hubert Humphrey, Scoop Jackson Democrats) agreed with Moynihan. The only difference was that they were chicken to push that position unpopular with at that time a small faction of Democrats.
Thus another facet of a prophet is to speak the unpopular truth.
“unpopular truth” is redundant.
Seems like all truth is unpopular.
But that is a great point.
