PROPHET is a person who spoke for God and who communicated God's message courageously to peoples. Prophets were referred to as messengers of the Lord. - Haggai 1:13 -

Except for God's call, prophets had no qualifications. They appeared from all walks of life and classes of society. A prophetic call was a call to liberty and freedom to be oneself. - John 8:31-32 -

Some prophets were called for a lifetime. But sometimes prophets spoke briefly and no more. In either case, a prophet spoke with authority of the Holy Spirit. One trait characterized them all: a faithful proclamation of God's word and not their own.

Many scholars deny that prophecy includes the prediction of future events, but fulfillment was in fact, the test of a prophet's genuineness, regardless of the time of fulfillment, the prophet's message applied to his generation as well as to ours.

Moses went out and told the people what Yahweh had said. Then he gathered seventy elders of the people and brought them round the Tent. Yahweh came down in the Cloud. He spoke with him, but took some of the spirit that was on him and put it on the seventy elders. When the spirit came to them they prophesied, but not again.

Two men had stayed back in the camp; one was called Eldad and the other Medad. The spirit came down on them; though they had not gone to the Tent, their names were enrolled among the rest. These began to prophesy in the camp. The young man ran to tell this to Moses, 'Look, he said 'Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp. Then said Joshua the son of Nun, who had served Moses from his youth, 'My Lord Moses, stop them!' Moses answered him, 'Are you jealous on my account? If only the whole people of Yahweh were prophets, and Yahweh gave his Spirit to them all!' - Numbers 11:24-29 -

Yahweh Sabaoth says this:

Do not listen to what those prophets say:
they are deluding you,
they retail visions of their own,
and not what comes from the mouth of Yahweh; - Jer. 23:16; Ezek. 13:2 - (false prophets)

The man who does not listen to my words that he speaks in My name, shall be held answerable to Me for it. But the prophet who presumes to say in My name a thing I have not commanded him to say, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.

You may say in your heart, "how are we to know what word was not spoken by Yahweh?" When a prophet speaks in the name of Yahweh and the thing does not happen and the word is not fulfilled, then it has not been spoken by Yahweh. The prophet has spoken with presumption. You have nothing to fear from him. - Deut. 18:19-22 -

For what I have spoken does not come from myself,
no, what I was to say, what I had to speak,
was commanded by the Father who sent me,
and I know that his commands mean eternal life.
And therefore what the Father has told me
is what I speak. - John 12:49-50 -

While I should like you all to have the gift of tongues, I would much rather you could prophesy, since the man who prophesies is of greater importance than the man with the gift of tongues, unless of course the latter offers an interpretations so that the church may get some benefit. - 1Cor. 14:5 -

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.

HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
