ADVENT DAY 13 (I'm late) Jesus THE Prophet

DAY 13 JESUS IS THE PROPHET

OK I can use some help here if anyone is following this blog. Jesus is THE prophet. The one that was foretold by Moses. Daniel and Isaiah. But what sort of emblems or symbolism do we use that would indicate a prophet. The advent book "Celebrate with Joy" suggests using a megaphone or microphone.

The really neat thing is that not only did the prophets foretell about Jesus' coming...but they even provided a timeline that was followed by the Wisemen from the East....ultimate scholars of the day, that allowed them to track and find the newborn king. And the rulers believed in the validity of those prophesy's enough that when the wisemen showed up, they too tried to find Jesus...but in an effort to prevent him from accomplishing his mission to provide us a way back to relationship with our Father (and his).

So tell me, what would be a good symbol for the tree that would indicate a prophet or prophecy?

Acts 3:22-23
Moses said, ‘The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you. And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the people.’

Acts 7:37
This is the Moses who said to the Israelites, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers.'
