Chapter 2
Did Jesus claim to be a prophet? By definition, a prophet speaks the words of God. Jesus claimed he was the Son of God. He was also claimed by his followers to be the Word of God. He only spoke what his Father told him to say. Quote,” For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me,he gave me a commandment, what a should say,and what I should speak.” I believe this would be a direct claim of being a prophet. And again, he says, “The word which you hear isn’t mine,but the Father’s who sent me.” It’s clear that he believes he is a prophet. His followers also believed that to be true. The only thing that could discredit him as a prophet would be if something didn’t happen in the time he declared. He prophesied many things, let’s look at some of them in the chapter’s to come.
To be clear, if Jesus said something that didn’t come to pass when he claims it would, then it would disqualify him as a prophet.
