Do You Know of Any Prophets?

Let me ask you a question: Do you know of any prophets?

No, not predicters, prophets. Men who agonize and wrestle with the truth. Visionaries, eccentrics, wild men in the wilderness, witnesses in the cities.

So do you know any?

If you do, you had better bless them, defend them, treasure them and store up their wisdom and exhortations - listen to them.

The prophets' time is short.

So do you know of any prophets? If you are not sure, you will be when they are gone and you are alone in the hands of the scorpions and the snakes.

thanks for keeping this one alive..the written word may indeed trump all other forms... as in the days of old. Good word. If you see the holy people of God furthermore, and they are destitute, what happens if you just turn away? Or just flip the channel?
