An official messenger. The herald of Daniel 3:4 was responsible for publicizing the king's law and the penalty of disobedience. Noah is described as a herald of righteousness ( 2 Peter 2:5 ), that is, one who announced God's requirements. Paul was appointed as a herald or preacher of the gospel. 1 Timothy 2:5-7 outlines Paul's message as the uniqueness of God, Christ's unique role as mediator between God and humanity, and Christ's death as ransom. 2 Timothy 1:9-11 outlines Paul's gospel as the good news that God has given grace by sending Christ who abolished death and brought life.
