Bible Prophets
Prophets [Example: Noah, Moses, Joshua, Elijah], were called to do specific tasks, to correct false teachings, to receive revelation and teach nothing but the truth.
The following scripture, in Amos 3:7, indicates how important Prophets are.
Whenever God has had truth to reveal, a great work, specitfic task or a far reaching very important assignment.
That "secret", revelation, instruction, or assignment was given to and will be revealed to and received by Prophets.
“Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the Prophets.” (Amos 3:7)
