“The people, however, soon found God’s unmediated presence too awful, too glorious and begged, “Let not God speak to us, lest we die” (Exodus 20:19). So Moses became their mediator. Thus began the great ministry of the prophets whose function was to hear God’s Word and bring it to the people. Although it was a step away from the corporate leading of the Holy Spirit, there remained a sense of being a people together under the rule of God. But a day came when Israel rejected even the prophet in favor of a king. From that point on the prophet was an outsider. He was a lonely voice crying in the wilderness; sometimes obeyed, sometimes killed, but almost always on the outside.”
