      Yes, I agree with you. I was just emphasizing that he “fits the description of a prophet” in the original sense of the term as well as in the modern definition.

      Rabbi Lord Sacks (often rather CHUD adjacent, but occasionally eloquent) said that the difference between a prophecy and a prediction is that if successful, a prophecy doesn’t come true. That is, the purpose of a prophecy is to provide a threatening condition from God to change human behavior.
