Revision as of 05:45, 22 June 2022

In the Old Testament a prophet[1] was a spokesman, someone who was under influence of divine spirit.[2]

The Hebrew word for prophet is nabiy or NunBeitYodAlef, which is derived from an action verb naba, NunBeitAlef.

To be inspired by the spirit of God, which was God's desire for all His people[3]

Adam walked with God in the "Garden" and ate of the tree of life but when he ate of the tree of life he hid himself in the trees from God.[4] It says that God walked in the garden in the cool of the day. The term translated cool is ruwach[5] is normally translated "spirit".

This spirit of the creator gives us insight into how the universe works. It gives us understanding on the unknown, light where there is darkness.

The Roman and Greeks also understood the need for insight into the unknown and sought the leverage of the gods or prophets and prophetesses of their time.

The Sibylline Books[6], were offered for sale to Tarquinius Superbus, the last of the seven kings of Rome, by the Cumaean sibyl[7]. He refused to pay her price, so she burned six of the books before finally selling him the remaining three for the price she demanded.

The price of the truth is the whole truth and those who do not love the light will never see the truth.

[8] [9] to prophecy.[10]

But the word we see translated prophet in the New Testament is the Greek word prophetes [11] which would be anyone one who, moved by the Holy Spirit of God and therefore was His spokesman through the wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of that spirit.[12] A prophet was to “speak for another, especially one who speaks for a god.”



The common list includes the Major Prophets: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, and Daniel.

The Twelve Minor Prophets: Hosea[13], Joel[14], Amos[15], Obadiah[16], Jonah[17], Micah[18], Nahum[19], Habakkuk[20], Zephaniah[21], Haggai[22], Zechariah[23], and [[Malachi][24]].

But there should be an accounting of David, Samuel, Gideon, and others.
