Prophet

Jonah was not aware of his own hypocrisy criticizing those that ‘pay regard to vain idols’ (2:8). Religion and culture make strong bonds that can hold people hostage. God had sent many prophets to intervene to warn the Israelites that their destruction is coming, but His message was not received. Often those prophets were ostracized and beaten for their words against their traditions and sacred…

4:6) and it will be this same Jesus who will return and fill the house of God on earth; this is what the prophet sees in his vision (Ezekiel 43:1-5), and not only will His glory fill the house, but will also fulfill these words of the Lord Jesus “"As I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the only Begotten." (Numbers 14:21) For those who believe…

If we were to apply Osmer’s “theo-drama” theory, I believe the first and second offices of apostle and prophet (as teacher) would resemble a mini-series, because the course of actions leading up to these particular offices are especially long. For example, the process of the apostle and in-house prophet includes spirit led practices such as; the study of the written word accompanied by prayer, baptism into the ministry of teaching (theophany and witness), leadership testing (dry seasons),…

The book of Jonah, just like the other Minor Prophets, is a short story – only 4 chapters with 48 vesicles – which, between other characteristics, its distinguishes by having the prophet as the main character, while the other prophets are only collections of oracles. Another difference with the other minor prophet books, is that the book of Jonah is a narrative story about the mission ordered to Jonah, and, even in other books of the Bible, we find parallel writings of this particular style,…

Madmen and prophets have been, for quite long, the source of contention in literary circles. The relationship between madness and prophecy in literature is somewhat difficult to tackle as both concepts are connected to a more mystical world that can give shape and meaning to human existence and truth about life. During the twentieth century, immediately after the Holocaust, people began more readily questioning the existence of a supreme Deity and His lack of divine intervention in such a…

poetry. Many Biblical prophecies are also depicted in paintings, poetry, and the speech of men. These prophecies caused Roderick to be treated like a drunkard or a madman, because of the claims he made about the fall of the Usher house. Many Biblical prophets were also treated as drunkards because of the claims that they made about the destruction to come (Robey 65).…

Early life history Hosea was the first of the twelve Minor Prophets. Hosea appeared around of the 8th century B.C.

They mocked the messenger of God (2).Misused the prophets of God, they were out of God’s will. (3). The Bible informed us touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm.. God has given his chosen, call and elect power, no one should come against their authority. (4). They abused the goodness of God. (5). The people forgot they needed mercy, grace,…

No human can predict the future with complete accuracy but the Bible did do so time and time again. Even, one case with King Sennacherib's death but let us review some other prophecies that were spot on. Around the year 732 B.C., the prophet Isaiah foretold at Isaiah 44 and 45 that a man named Cyrus would conquer the mighty city of Babylon. Now this was a "fairy-tale" idea of itself. Babylon was a dynasty for a time, this would be a hard defeat. The prophecy goes on to say that Cyrus…

thrown in a lion’s den for refusing to pray to another god. Isaiah and Daniel would influence nations, see visions, and being willing to die for their beliefs. Isaiah was a prophet, poet, and politician. The prophet Isaiah was a major figure in Jewish history. The new testament of the Bible quotes him more than any other prophet. He was known to have a vast vocabulary and bright imagination.…
