That is probably quite true in the literal sense.
However, I would rather follow a man like Lennon who taught what he believed from his heart,and challenged people to find their own individual way. I cannot follow a man who believes he was God sent and given all the answers, like for instance a Pat Robertson or a Rev. Moon or a George Bush etc.
So as I stated above, a prophet to me is one who works to better mankind by teaching hope, faith and challenges the wrongs he/she sees on their own, and their teachings stand the test of time.
