[What is the meaning of the term "prophet" in the Old Testament literature? The term “prophet" coming from the Hebrew word, “nabi" means essentially a mediator by speech between man and God. He is sometimes given other designations, such as “ man of God,” “servant of Jehovah” and “interpreter.” But the fundamental content, abides through all of these. The prophets were the preachers of their day. They are the beating heart of the Old Testament. They spoke against the oppression and cruel treatment of the poor and advocated righteousness and social justice for all. The prophet is always a man of his own time, and it is always with the conditions of his own day that he is vitally concerned.The things he speaks about are of importance to the people of his own age, wether they be things pertaining to the internal life and conduct of the people or things affecting their external fortunes. And when he speaks, he does so with the intention of influencing his auditors. Oftimes the most powerful means of exerting the desired influence on the minds of hid time is found in what he is able to reveal of the future.]

[All the voices of revelation units in ascribing the supremacy, among the virtues, to love. The institutes of Moses, and the new commandments of Jesus; the abstract reasonings of Paul, and the practical exhortations of James; the vivid and impulsive rhetoric of Peter and the subdued and tender verses of John — all blend into a perfect harmony, the keynote of which is the truth that love is of God, and that every one that loveth Is begotten of God and knoweth God. What is the content of this principle, and why is it so central in our Christian religion? Perhaps no adequate definition of love can be given, however, we will venture to give some. George B. Stevens says that, "Love Is the power that leads us out of ourselves. It is the forthputting, the outreaching impulse which unites us in common interest to others. Hence, "love Is of God", because it is God’s nature to impart blessing and to seek fellowship pith his Intelligent creatures. All love among men is reflection of the divine nature in man — a trace of the presence of him who is ever seeking to reconcile men to himself, to one another, and to their own true destiny; to solve the contradictions and abolish the discords of life; and to unite men In the helpful and happy fellowship of the kingdom of love and peace.]
