"In ancient usage, 'seer' is an alternative term for prophet (1 Sam. 9:9). A seer is a person endowed by God with a special gift for seeing spiritually. In the modern Church, members of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles serve as seers... The Book of Mormon teaches that a 'seer is greater than a prophet,' because a seer is 'a revelator and a prophet also'; seers are unique among prophets in that they 'can know of things which are past, and also of things which are to come, and by them shall all things be revealed' (Mosiah 8:15-17)."
