A prophet can see into the future.  He or she generally has no control over the scale, of what or when aspects of the future are glimpsed.  In fact, a prophet may have no interpretation at all regarding their foretellings.  However, sometimes, whether it is tomorrow or centuries from now, a prophet knows without a shadow of a doubt the meaning of what will come to be.

A true prophet is hard to find.  Their lives may be wracked with visions, compulsions to write, or trances which render them unresponsive.  In times past, accusations of witch-craft silenced their claims.  Others sought the mysterious shrouds of gypsies.  In modern times, a prophet may be called a psychic, medium, or simply, schizophrenic.
