Connecting prophecy, prophesy and prophets really enlightened me, and gave me flashbacks to when I took Old testament in High school. Prophecy is the noun, prophesy is the verb, and prophets are the people prophesying. When it comes to prophets, I found it interesting that they were often seen as God, however, I can understand why the people thought this. Often times they were delivering messages directly from God and therefore it makes sense that the people thought that the prophets were God. The prophecies seemed crazy and shocking to the people because they were often warnings to the people that they needed to change their ways to connect more with God. They were reminders and warnings to the people that the people need to withhold their end of the covenant and act ethically.
