Introduction -- The biblical definition of a 'prophet' is 'one who speaks for God.' This includes the patriarchs like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, along with figures like Miriam and Moses. But, in this study we will focus specifically on the prophets who spoke for God in the time of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Jesse Burns In Genesis 3:15 we hear of the great promise of redemption for fallen mankind. The Lord promised that the Seed of the woman would crush the head of the serpent. Adam and Eve trusted this promise, possibly even looking at the birth of their first born son, Cain, as its fulfillment. Lutheran Theology. Lutheran Vocabulary. Lutherans Today.

Nathan: Prophet to Kings David & Solomon
II Samuel 7:1-17 – 1 Now when the king [David] was settled in his house, and the Lord had given him rest from all his enemies around him, 2 the king said to the prophet Nathan, 'See now, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of God stays in a tent.' 3 Nathan said to the king, 'Go, do all that you have in mind; for the Lord is with you.' 4 But that same night the word of the Lord came to Nathan: 5 Go and tell my servant David: Thus says the Lord: Are you the one to build me a house to live in? 6 I have not lived in a house since the day I brought up the people of Israel from Egypt to this day, but I have been moving about in a tent and a tabernacle. 7 Wherever I have moved about among all the people of Israel, did I ever speak a word with any of the tribal leaders of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, saying, 'Why have you not built me a house of cedar?' 8 Now therefore thus you shall say to my servant David: Thus says the Lord of hosts: I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep to be prince over my people Israel; 9 and I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make for you a great name, like the name of the great ones of the earth. 10 And I will appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them, so that they may live in their own place, and be disturbed no more. And evildoers shall afflict them no more, as formerly, 11 from the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel; and I will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover the Lord declares to you that the Lord will make [of] you a house. 12 When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come forth from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me. When he commits iniquity, I will punish him with a rod such as mortals use, with blows inflicted by human beings. 15 But I will not take my steadfast love from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before you. 16 Your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me; your throne shall be established forever. 17 In accordance with all these words and with all this vision, Nathan spoke to David.
Adminthe oni site. II Samuel 12:1-7a, 13-15 – 1 The Lord sent the prophet Nathan to David [after David violated Uriah & Bathsheba's marriage and had Uriah murdered]. Nathan came to David and said to him, 'There were two men in a certain city, the one rich and the other poor. 2 The rich man had very many flocks and herds; 3 but the poor man had nothing but one little ewe lamb, which he had bought. He brought it up, and it grew up with him and with his children; it used to eat of his meager fare, and drink from his cup, and lie in his bosom, and it was like a daughter to him. 4 Now there came a traveler to the rich man, and he was loath to take one of his own flock or herd to prepare for the wayfarer who had come to him, but he took the poor man's lamb, and prepared that for the guest who had come to him.' 5 Then David's anger was greatly kindled against the man. He said to Nathan, 'As the Lord lives, the man who has done this deserves to die; 6 he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.' 7 Nathan said to David, 'You are the man! … 13 David said to Nathan, 'I have sinned against the Lord.' Nathan said to David, 'Now the Lord has put away your sin; you shall not die. 14 Nevertheless, because by this deed you have utterly scorned the Lord, the child that is born to you shall die.' 15 Then Nathan went to his house.
I Kings 1:33-35 -- 32 King David said [on his deathbed] 'Summon to me the priest Zadok, the prophet Nathan, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada.' When they came before the king, 33 the king said to them, 'Take with you the servants of your lord, and have my son Solomon ride on my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon. 34 There let the priest Zadok and the prophet Nathan anoint him king over Israel; then blow the trumpet, and say, ‘Long live King Solomon!' 35 You shall go up following him. Let him enter and sit on my throne; he shall be king in my place; for I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.'

+ Even more than the prophet Samuel, the prophet Nathan acted as a royal functionary. Not only anointing kings but also serving somewhat like a priest, and even advising kings in matters of politics. Does this surprise you when you recall the image of an Old Testament prophet in your mind? Why or why not?
+ Despite this, when King David committed terrible sins, like adultery with Bathsheba and arranging the murder of her husband, Uriah the Hittite, in battle Nathan was able to speak truth to power. How hard do you think it might have been for a man like Nathan, who quite possibly got a royal stipend for his services, to confront King David with his crimes? What did Nathan possibly stand to lose by his actions?
+ Have you or someone you know spoken truth to power when it might have gotten you or them into serious hot water? If you can share, what was the situation? How did that go? Did you or they suffer serious consequences? What range of emotions may arise in such situations?

+ Often we think of the prophets as having rock-solid certainty about what God wants them to say and do. How do we know from Nathan's story that this wasn't always true? Does this surprise you, why or why not? How does it make you feel to know that even *professional* prophets like Nathan didn't always get it right the first time?
+ Do you think it would be easier to be a prophet – one who speaks for God – by standing outside of the royal courts, as it were, like many of the other prophets we will study … guys like Amos and Elijah? Why or why not? Does being a prophet seem like a happy career choice (so to speak) … why or why not?
+ Do people we admire nowadays, whether alive or dead, who seem like they are or have been prophetic in what they've said or done … does it seem like they chose to be prophetic? Or, does it seem more like they were chosen in some form or fashion? Can you give examples?
