Emotionalism did not feature in all prophetic preaching, nor was it essential to the prophet’s ministry. The important characteristic of the prophet was that he spoke as the representative of God in announcing God’s will to the people (see 22:5). The prophet’s messages were therefore concerned chiefly with the people’s daily affairs. Nevertheless, as the prophet urged the people to turn from their sins to God, he may also have foretold events that would follow their obedience or disobedience.
