A '''prophet''' is one who speaks for [[God]] through divine revelation.  Prophets in the [[Bible]] usually predict future events and the words of a prophet must always come to pass.  If they do not, then he is a [[false prophet]] and must be put to death according to the book of [[Deuteronomy]].

This was the main way prophets under the old testament could be judged--when their predictions come true, they are can be said to be true profits.<ref>Ezekiel 33:33</ref>

A prophet absolutely must be 100% accurate, at all times, obviously.
