prophet
n. 1. an individual who seeks
to tell the big truth, and who therefore steps on enough toes to wind up dead.
2. an announcer of future events whose words, though initially resisted, eventually come to be revered.
However, the true prophet is an endangered species nowadays, because he generally lacks the forbearance
to shut up in front of psychiatrists. 3. the voice crying in the wilderness.
This is fine with everybody until the prophet comes out of the wilderness.
