To sign "prophet," start by holding your non-dominant hand flat in front of your face, palm facing down. Form a "V" shape with your dominant hand, starting near your eyes, and move it forward underneath your non-dominant hand. Finally, bring both hands down in front of your body with flat palms facing each other to indicate a person.
Start with the sign for "prophet" by moving the "V" handshape under your flat hand and adding the person marker. Then, sign "share" and "vision" to complete the thought.
Begin by signing "many" and "people," followed by the sign for "listen." Finish the sentence by signing "prophet," ensuring the person marker at the end is clear and distinct.
Point to the person to indicate "he," sign "true," and then sign "prophet." Remember to raise your eyebrows and tilt your head slightly forward, as this is a yes/no question.

The sign for "predict" or "foresee" is just the first half of the sign for "prophet." To make it "prophet," you must add the "person" marker at the end by bringing both flat hands downward to show it is a person doing the predicting.
No, the "V" handshape doesn't need to physically touch your face. It should start near your eyes to represent the concept of seeing, but you should keep a comfortable distance as you move it forward under your other hand.
While the literal translation is "a person who foresees," this specific sign is most commonly used in religious, historical, or spiritual contexts to mean "prophet." For a fortune teller, you might see variations involving a crystal ball depending on the context.
