Glancing through the Old Testament, one is sometimes surprised by the actions and antics of the prophets. In just about every case, the messenger seeks only to deliver the message with great clarity and that is the prime reason for an unusual presentation. Let's look at a few of the prophets' ways which may be equally useful to today's evangelists in attracting an audience and driving home a message.
Jeremiah, the so-called "weeping prophet," acts out his message on one occasion, bearing on his shoulders an ox yoke. The will of the Lord, he was saying, was that the King of Judah should submit to and serve a foreign power as an young ox would work in step with its more experienced partner.1
1 Jeremiah 27:1,2,12
