You have probably heard of Americas titles for those Christian men who have seemed to motivate or bring much attention to Biblical principles within and outside the USA. Persons such as Billy Graham was(is) known as Americas Evangelist. Others like Dr. Charles Stanley is referred to on his television program as Americas Pastor as well. Have you ever heard of Americas Prophet ? You may have, It is not an official title, but you probably never heard of that title before. As many Americans are familiar with the Biblical office of Evangelist and Pastor it would seem many in the USA(and around the world) are no longer familiar with the Biblical tittle(office) of prophet. Prophecy is a major part f the Bible and thankfully, many nations have learned the importance of Bible prophecy over the years. Jesus Himself gave prophetic signs to look for before His return. The Old Testament is filled with many prophetic writings from those like Jeremiah, Daniel, Joshua, Isiah , etc
There job so to speak was to share information with people groups(mostly Israel and Judah in the Old Testament) on what God wanted the people to listen to or be careful of in their personal and at the national level. The Lord would often communicate to His prophets to give heed, direction and or warning to those whom He loved.

Thanks for sharing this article. I can remember one day asking the CEO of our company, who is an ordained Methodist minister, why there weren’t any prophets in our time. His answer was less than satisfying. Then, I believe the Holy Spirit brought me to FR where I first read about David Wilkerson. Once I started listening to podcasts of his sermons and reading his daily devotionals, I knew that I had found a prophet for our times. He was the real deal.
