Telling the Truth when People Don’t Want to Hear it

Order Description
Prophets are often considered great only after they moved on to another church. In most cases, they are considered too controversial and way off the normal track by the society in which they live. Sometimes, prophets are not accepted even within their own circles.

In 275 words, respond to the following:

. Who is someone speaking in a prophetic voice in the twenty-first century?

A prophecy is usually about current events and what will happen if people don’t work to effect change. Prophets are instruments of God, but may not necessarily be considered “religious.” Discuss who you believe is one person who speaks prophetically in this current day. ( Hint; For you, it may not be a “religious” leader-talk about why this person is prophetic. )
