The Greek word is pro·phe′tes.
It literally means 'a speaker out' (pro = 'before' or 'in front of' // and phemi = 'say')
The fundamental meaning is NOT that of prediction; but merely describes one who proclaims, one who makes known messages attributed to a divine source. (Judges 6:7-10.)
Nevertheless, a prophet of God would have revealed to him, knowledge of future events, (either specific or general) as needed.
His assignment was to 'bring people back to Jehovah'; by leading the people in example, by teaching, and by explaining the consequences for non-compliance.
