AMBASSADOR
Messenger or envoy officially representing a higher authority. In the OT, an ambassador was a messenger, envoy, or negotiator sent on a special, temporary mission as an official representative of the king, government, or authority who sent him. Examples include the ambassador of Pharaoh (Is 30:4, KJB), of the princes of Babylon (2 Chr 32:31), and of Neco, king of Egypt (2 Chr 35:21). In the letters of Paul, the apostle called himself an ambassador for Christ because he had an apostolic mission to convey the gospel of Christ to the Gentiles (2 Cor 5:20; Eph 6:20).
