c. Especially of those who possessed the prophetic gifts or Charisma imparted by the Holy Spirit to the primitive churches, a prophet, as in a class of instructors or preachers who were next in rank to the apostles and before the teachers.
1 Corinthians 12:28. They seem to have differed from the teachers in this, that while the latter spoke in a calm, connected didactic discourse, adopted to instruct and enlighten the hearers, the prophets spoke more from the impulse of sudden inspiration, from the light of a sudden revelation at the moment, (revealed, 1 Corinthians 14:30,) and his discourse was probably more adapted by means of powerful exhortations to awaken the feelings and conscience of the hearers.

Propitiation: 2434. Greek is, hilasmos. This is one of the semi-technical words in Scripture which designate the Atonement. the Latin signifies an objective provision for pity, or mercy. In the Hebrew, it is mercy seat, or the objective place of mercy. In Romans 3:25, expiation has been substituted for propitiation. The meaning for propitiation in Romans 3:25, is an objective provision for mercy, it being borne out by the context. In verse 24 we are said to be Justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.”
Our account, as sinners, before the Father has been settled. In verse 26, this “propitiation — by His blood,” this “vindication of His righteousness,” is said to be directed to the purpose “That He might be just and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.” In other words, the propitiation by the blood of Christ vindicates God’s holy character as He justifies the sinner. With the propitiation in the blood of Christ, the Father is saying, “This is what your sin cost me, and I bore it in my Son, as I justified you. Propitiation, expiation, for concrete, propitiator, 1 John 2:2, 4:10, “Sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” Past particle, Septuagint for Hebrew, “Forgiveness,” Psalms 130:4.

Leviticus 16:13-15.
