The King’s Seer

The Bible distinguishes between prophets (spokesmen, inspired to proclaim God’s Truth) and seers (those given spiritual vision or perception), though at times, these roles overlapped, as with Samuel, Gad, and Nathan. Both were used by God to provide guidance, correction, and warnings, keeping His people aligned with His Law. While we may not have ordained seers or prophets today, Scripture reminds us to seek spiritual sight and courage, so we can live by God’s Truth even when it is unpopular.
