Who Knows D Difference Btw A Seer & A Prophet?

THE QUESTION THAT I get asked the most is, “What is a seer?”
The response I give is different, depending on who is asking. There
are three general categories of people who ask this question, and I
answer according to which group they are a part of.
If the person asking is not a Christian, then I cannot use
Christian lingo to explain it. I use terms they might understand and
mold my answer to make sense to them. I might respond by
saying, “A person who operates as a seer can see into the spirit
realm around us, similar to a psychic person. The difference is that
a Christian has legal access to operate in that realm because Jesus
lives inside of a Christian. A psychic has no right to operate in that
realm, and it is dangerous for them to do so. God communicates to
seers through visions, open visions, and dreams, as well as many
other ways.”
If the person is a Christian, but they have no familiarity with
prophets and prophecy, then I would probably say something like,
“Remember how in the Old Testament Samuel would have visions
and speak God’s Word to others? Well, that is what a seer and a prophet do. God talks to seers and prophets in different ways;
then they take those messages and declare them to the Church to
bring vision, direction, and encouragement.”
When a person who is very familiar with prophets and
prophecy asks, “What is a seer?” there are usually a few other
questions implied. The implied questions are various: “Does it
matter that we distinguish between seers and prophets?” “Are
seers in the New Testament?” “Who are the seers in the Bible?”
and “How are prophets and seers different?” Since the previous
two groups have just been answered, I will answer these questions
in more detail.
Q: Does it Matter That We Distinguish Between Seers and
Prophets?
A: The Bible is our example. If it is important to God, then it
should be important to us. Scripture is not arbitrary in the use of
the titles seer and prophet. Individuals were referred to as one or
the other. This was not a synonymous term that was thrown
around interchangeably. Here is an example of Scripture very
specifically separating the two terms: “As for the events of King
David’s reign, from beginning to end, they are written in the
records of Samuel the seer, the records of Nathan the prophet and
the records of Gad the seer…” (1 Chron. 29:29). God clearly
distinguished between Samuel and Gad as seers and Nathan as a
prophet. If it is important to God, then it should be important to us.
Q: Who Are the Seers in the Bible?
A: There are nine people identified as seers in the Old
Testament. There are many others who operated at times in the
gifting of a seer such as Balaam, Elisha, Daniel, and Zechariah, but
they were never given the title of “seer” in the Bible. Only nine
people have been given the name, title, and calling of seer. Listed
here are the nine, the scriptural reference of their title as a seer, and
the main position that they fulfilled.
Samuel
1 Chronicles
29:29
Governmental advisor
Gad
1 Chronicles
29:29
Governmental advisor
Zadok
2 Samuel
15:27
Chief priest
Hanani
2 Chronicles
16:7
Grandson of Samuel
Iddo
2 Chronicles
9:29
Priest
Amos Amos 7:12
Sycamore fig picker, marketplace
minister
Asaph
2 Chronicles
29:30
Worship leader,
author of Psalms 50 and 73-83
Jeduthun
2 Chronicles
35:15
Worship leader
Heman
1 Chronicles
25:5
Worship leader, author of Psalm
88
Take note of the positions that the seers fulfilled. One-third
of them were governmental or marketplace oriented, one-third of
them were worship leaders, and one-fourth were in formal
priesthood ministry. Also we can see from Hanani that the seer
anointing can be passed generationally. Many times the title of seer
is applied to others such as Ezekiel and Elisha, but these nine are
the only ones in the entire Bible who God refers to as seers.
Q: Are There Seers in the New Testament?
A: According to First Samuel 9:9, “Formerly in Israel, when
a man went to inquire of God, he spoke thus: ‘Come, let us go to
the seer’; for he who is now called a prophet was formerly called a
seer.” In our modern day we can lose the history and context
behind biblical words. This verse shows us that in the progression
of the Hebrew language; they blended the word seer into the word
prophet and called them the same thing. A prophet and a seer refer
to the same calling, yet the way that they receive their revelation
from the Lord functions differently. The seers continued to
minister in Israel, so this was not a dismissal of seers but merely a
change in language trends. This is similar to the fact that there are
electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, civil engineers, and many other kinds, with a world of difference between them, but for
convenience we just say engineer.
When we read the New Testament, we find no reference to
the word seers. This is because the first-century reader understood
that the word prophet was inclusive of both prophets and seers. (If
First Samuel 9:9 had eliminated the use of the term prophet in favor
of the word seer, then we would still have five New Testament
offices listed in Ephesians 4:11, but prophet would be included
under seer). When first-century believers read the words of Paul in
Ephesians 4:11, they technically saw six ministries, not just five:
“It was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets [the
word prophet is inclusive of seers], some to be evangelists, and
some to be pastors and teachers” (Eph. 4:11). Seers and prophets
still both exist, and they are both called to deliver the prophetic
word of the Lord, but they function differently (more on that
later).
Q: How Are Prophets and Seers Different?
A1:A simple way to determine whether someone is a prophet
or a seer in the Bible is to watch for the prophetic prefix they use.
If, when they prophesy, they say, “The Lord would say,” then it
is likely they are hearing the word of the Lord bubble up inside of
them as a prophet. The root word for prophet is nabi. Dennis
Cramer gives a great explanation of what nabi means:

The Hebrew word for prophet (occurring 300 times in the
Old Testament) means a suddenly inspired person. The word
implies one who bubbles up, one who flows forth. Some
might call this biblical phenomenon prophetic ef ervescence—
the sudden bubbling up or flowing forth of the prophetic
message from deep within the human spirit. Many prophetic
believers, whether they are prophets or merely prophetic, will
experience this type of prophesying. “Nabi” style prophecy
is a spontaneous bubbling up, a sudden inspiration to
prophesy with little or no foreknowledge.
1
A2: A seer would more often say, “The Lord showed me,” or
“it was likened unto,” or “I saw,” and then an explanation would
follow. Paula Price, the author of The Prophet’s Dictionary writes
of seers,
The Hebrew word for seer is one who receives
communications from God more from visions and dreams than
audible words. Prophets who say they saw the word of the Lord
more than heard it is an example of this type of prophet.
2
Well-known prophetic author Cindy Jacobs writes in her
book The Voice of God,
Prophets in the Old Testament at one time were called
“seers.” This means that they literally or figuratively saw things in the Spirit. Some of the prophets were more pictorial
in their gifts than others, such as Ezekiel who saw visions of
heavenly creatures. Certain prophetic people today receive
their prophetic words mainly through pictures. Their
prophecies will often be interpretations of pictures or inner
visions they see.
3
Typically, prophets and seers teach others to receive
revelation in the way that they receive it. For the prophet, this
would be hearing the inward voice of the Holy Spirit. For the seer
who receives revelation in a more visual way, this would be taught
as dreams, mental pictures, visions that appear before their eyes
(sometimes called an open vision), angelic messengers, and
experiences in Heaven or in the unseen realm.
There are many different ways that God talks to seers, so
each seer is different. Some seers are almost strictly spoken to
through dreams, whereas some have the ability to use their
spiritual eyes and see into the unseen realm as Elisha did:
And Elisha prayed, “O Lord, open his eyes so he may
see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked
and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around
Elisha (2 Kings 6:17)

Kelltee, U Really Tried In Expanciating D Difference Btw A Seer & A Prophet. Dis Shows Dat U Av Really Read & Study Abt Dis. D Things U Explained Are True. Every Seer Is A Prophet But Not Every Prophet Is A Seer. A Prophet Hears More Dan He Sees While A Seer Sees More Dan He Hears. Dis Doesn't Mean D Prophet Doesn't See Or D Seer Doesn't Hear. A Person Could Be A Seer & A Prophet Too. 4rm My Experience & Encounter With Prophets & Seers, Seers Are More Sensitive & Flows Higher In Revelational Gift Dan Prophets. Dis People Could Even Tell U D Colour Of Ur Boxer Lol. Dis Doesn't Mean Dat Prophets Are Not Sensitive & Flow In Revelational Gift. D Seers Own Are Extreme.

There is nothing like "seer" in the Bible. We only have prophet. which is among the five fold ministry. And prophets are messengers of God who deliver God's message to his people.

A seer is kind of diabolic. it can be likened to a soccery, where witches read through some diabolic fetish device to "see" peoples future. That's the difference.

We Av Prophets Who Are Seers. There Are True Seers(prophets) There Are Also False Seers(prophets) I'm Telling U 4rm Experience. Read D Bible Passages Kelltree Commented Here.

Ok

Brachaa:


Are you saying prophets are seers? I doubt.
Prophets only have the ability to hear from God. Nobody can see any body's future.

No, All Seers Are Prophets But Not All Prophets Are Seers.

Okay, what I want you to know is that there are 5 folds if ministry and the prophetic ministry is what am going to capitalize on, anyone who is a prophet can see into the spirit realm and can for see into the future base on divine revealations. There are different ways God can pass message across to people
1. Dreams
2. Vision
3. Thoughts.
4. Hearing ( if you're spiritually sensitive )

So for me God speaks to me through thoughts and visions.

My conclusion a Prophet can be a seer because he passes DIVINE MESSAGES from God to peiple while a seer passes a message through means like oracle and different power source. Any one can be a seer but it takes a true man or woman of God to be a prophet.

There is a difference.
My point though.

Thanks

Ok.

Though my initial argument was, seer is not a ministry because op kinda juxtapose both of them and i wasn't sure its in the Bible either. With this now, they are simply the same. So no need asking what's the difference.
