Bible Prophets of God

A prophet is someone in whom God speaks to and through. They stand between God and man to proclaim to man God's Word. When the prophet spoke as the mouthpiece, they were inspired and without error. The prophet, though, is not a puppet or a mindless repeater of what they hear. Instead, they retain their own will, mind, and thoughts as they speak of and for God. 

God would put His words in their hearts and mouths (Deut. 18:18; Jer. 1:9).  A prophet was God's servant (Zech. 1:6) and messenger (2 Chron. 36:15). 

Prophecies fell into three categories: 1. concerning the destiny of Israel, 2. the messianic prophecies, and 3. eschatological prophecies. The term Law and Prophets refers to the canon or inspired writings of the OT which are divided into two categories: 1. The Law is the Pentateuch, known as Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. 2. The Prophets are all the rest of the OT books. 

  • Are There Prophets Among Us Today?

Yes! There are false prophets and God's prophets.  False prophets consistently mix foretelling with forth telling.  Discerning believers know the difference between the two. Since the completion of God's Word is a reality, there is no need for foretelling. Yet, God continues to call and equip believers to forth tell the Word of God (Acts 13:1,5; 2 Timothy 4:1,2)
