This helped me with my h/w so I'll answer as well. A prophet is a messenger of god , someone who has been spoken to by him. They are people who get filled with inspiration to speak to the whole world about what the lord has told them, no matter how stupid or retarded they seem. They do it even if they know everyone laughs just so he knows that he has done god well.
