Retrieved 2009-04-09. ...after making a series of uncannily accurate predictions about the global meltdown, Roubini has become the prophet of his age... Dhu'l-kifl (Ezekiel), or Zul-Kifl, was a prophet who lived in Iraq; sometimes associated with Joshua, Obadiah, or Isaiah rather than Ezekiel. The Baháʼí Faith refers to what are commonly called prophets as "Manifestations of God" who are directly linked with the concept of progressive revelation. Baháʼís believe that the will of God is expressed at all times and in many ways, including through a series of divine messengers referred to as "Manifestations of God" or "divine educators". [76] In expressing God's intent, these Manifestations are seen to establish religion in the world. Thus they are seen as an intermediary between God and humanity. [77] The Messianic kingdom will not be established on the very day of Christ’s return to the earth, but only after a 75-day interval. According to Daniel 12:11-12, ‘from the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days’. How blessed is he who keeps waiting and attains to the 1,335 days!’ During this 75-day interval (being 1335 days less 1260 days), more unconditional prophecies will be fulfilled. The Removal of the Abomination of Desolation

Muslims often refer to Muhammad as "the Prophet", in the form of a noun. [66] [67] [68] [69] Jesus is the result of a virgin birth in Islam as in Christianity, and is regarded as a prophet. [70] Followers of the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam believe that Mirzā Ghulām Aḥmad was a prophet of God, [93] [94] who claimed to be a fulfillment of the various Islamic prophecies regarding the second advent of Jesus ( ʿĪsā) before the end of time. [93] [94] Other Islamic movements [ edit ] Any one being a spokesman for God to man might thus be called a prophet. Thus Enoch, Abraham, and the patriarchs, as bearers of God's message ( Genesis 20:7 ; Exodus 7:1 ; Psalms 105:15 ), as also Moses ( Deuteronomy 18:15 ; 34:10 ; Hosea 12:13 ), are ranked among the prophets. The seventy elders of Israel ( Numbers 11:16-29 ), "when the spirit rested upon them, prophesied;" Asaph and Jeduthun "prophesied with a harp" ( 1Chronicles 25:3 ). Miriam and Deborah were prophetesses ( Exodus 15:20 ; Judges 4:4 ). The title thus has a general application to all who have messages from God to men. Although it offers many incidents from the lives of many prophets, the Quran focuses with special narrative and rhetorical emphasis on the careers of the first four of these five major prophets. [ who?]Al-Yasa (Elisha) is typically identified with Elisha, although the stories in the Bible are not repeated in the Quran. In Hebrew, the word נָבִיא ( nāvî), "spokesperson", traditionally translates as "prophet". [3] The second subdivision of the Tanakh, ( Nevi'im), is devoted to the Hebrew prophets. The meaning of Navi is perhaps described in Deuteronomy 18:18, [4] where God said, "...and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him." Thus, the Navi was thought to be the "mouth" of God. A Jewish tradition was that the root nun- bet- alef ("Navi") is based on the two-letter root nun-bet which denotes hollowness or openness; to receive transcendental wisdom, one must make oneself "open". [5] The Arabic word نبي ( nabī) is a cognate of the Hebrew word.

Yousef (Joseph), was Ya'qub's eleventh and most beloved son, whose brothers threw him in a well where he was rescued by a passing caravan. The English word prophet is the transliteration of a compound Greek word derived from pro (before/toward) and phesein (to tell); thus, a προφήτης ( prophḗtēs) is someone who conveys messages from the divine to humans, including occasionally foretelling future events. In a different interpretation, it means advocate or speaker. It is used to translate the Hebrew word נָבִיא ( nāvî) in the Septuagint and the Arabic word نبي ( nabī) among others.

In the Middle of the Tribulation Period, and with the one-world religious system removed from the scene, the antichrist will move to gain religious, economic and political control of the earth. But the Anti-Christ will be killed, perhaps as part of a war, and go to the abyss (Rev 11:7; 13:3). Having been confined to the domains of the earth and the underworld, Satan will resurrect the antichrist and Satanically possess this son of perdition (Rev 13:1-3, 12). The whole earth will be amazed by this, and will follow and worship the beast, saying “Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?” (Rev 13:3-4). After putting down three of the ten kings (Dan 7:24; Rev 17:12-13), the remaining seven will give their kingdom to the antichrist (Rev 17:12-13, 17). The antichrist will rule on earth as an absolute despot during the second half of the Tribulation Period. Jesus calls this 3,5-year period the Great Tribulation (Mat 24:21). Death and Resurrection of the Two Witnesses Having received religious control, and after ‘dealing’ with the two witnesses in the Middle of the Tribulation Period, the antichrist will enter the temple in Jerusalem (cf. Dan 9;27; 12:11; Mat 24:15-22). The antichrist will set himself forth as God (2 Thes 2:4; Rev 13:5-6). It is likely that the abomination of desolation refers to an image or an idol that will be made to stand in the holy of holies (Fruchtenbaum 2004:252-256). All ‘earth-dwellers’ (i.e. unbelievers) will worship the antichrist (Rev 13:8). At that stage, Jerusalem will be the religious capital of the antichrist, with Babylon still serving as his economic and political capital city.

Anyone who contradicts scripture, preaches another gospel or denies the divinity of Christ is a false prophet. Paul said, "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you ...

cf. “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my [ Christ] disciple.” ( Luke 14:26) John Alexander Dowie, a faith healer who founded the city of Zion, Illinois, and the Christian Catholic Apostolic Church. I understand the seven bowl judgements (Rev 16; cf. 17-18) to occur during the second half of the Tribulation Period, that is after the seal and then the trumpet judgements. The bowl judgement will also follow each other sequentially: Stacey Campbell. 2008. Ecstatic Prophecy. Grand Rapids, Mich.: Chosen Books/Baker Publishing Group. ISBN 978-0-8007-9449-1.According to Matthew 24:7-8, the sign that the end of the age has begun is when nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, accompanied by famines, pestilences and earthquakes in various places — ‘all these’ things are the beginning of birth pangs (Cooper 1983:28-32, 48; Toussaint 1980:271; Fruchtenbaum 2004:627). Birth pangs was a common Jewish metaphor to refer to an indeterminate period of distress leading up to the end of the age (e.g., 1 Enoch 62:4; 2 Esdr 4:42; Tg. Ps 18:14). According to Cooper (1983:28-29; cf. Toussaint 1980:271), the phrase ‘nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom’ (cf. 2 Chr 15:1-7; Is 19:1-4) is a pure Hebraic idiom indicating a world war. After quoting the Bereshit Rabbah (XLII:4) and the Zohar Chadash to show that in Jesus’ day the expression ‘nation against nation, and kingdom against kingdom’ referred to a world-wide conflict, Fruchtenbaum (2004:95, 626-627) concludes that World Wars I and II are the sign that the end of the age has begun. The Re-Establishment of the State of Israel For example, when Joel speaks about the outpouring of the Spirit and the images of the great and terrible coming day of the Lord, it was not only his original audience to whom he was speaking (Joel 2:28–32). Joel 2 is quoted in Acts at Pentecost (Acts 2:17–21). The same images expressed in Acts 2:28–32 are also evident at Christ’s crucifixion. One could even legitimately argue that Joel’s prophecy finds ultimate expression in the second coming of our Lord. Therefore, although Joel had a single intent, his words find many references (i.e., “landing points”) throughout redemptive history. That is why this passage about the outpouring of the Spirit was one of John Calvin’s favorite passages for explaining how the prophetic idiom works. 4. Hunt for ways in which the New Testament Scriptures cite, allude to, or echo the Prophets. Some examples of prophets in the Tanakh include Abraham, Moses, Miriam, Isaiah, Samuel, Ezekiel, Malachi, and Job. Jewish tradition - unlike Christian and Islamic practice - does not regard Daniel as a prophet. The term "prophet" applies to those who receive public or private revelation. Public revelation, in Catholicism, is part of the Deposit of faith, the revelation of which was completed by Jesus; whereas private revelation does not add to the Deposit. The term "deposit of faith" refers to the entirety of Jesus Christ's revelation, and is passed to successive generations in two different forms, sacred scripture (the Bible) and sacred tradition.

Elst, Koenraad (1993). Psychology of prophetism: A secular look at the Bible. New Delhi: Voice of India. ISBN 978-8185990002Claims of prophethood have existed in many cultures and religions throughout history, including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, ancient Greek religion, Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism, Hinduism, and many others. It appears that the seven trumpet judgements (Rev 8-9; 10:7; 11:15a) will also occur during the first half of the Tribulation Period, after the seal judgements. The trumpet judgements will follow each other sequentially: A number of later Christian saints were claimed to have powers of prophecy, such as Columba of Iona (521–597), Saint Malachy (1094–1148) or Padre Pio (1887–1968). [57] Marian apparitions like those at Fatima in 1917 or at Kibeho in Rwanda in the 1980s often included prophetic predictions regarding the future of the world as well as of the local areas they occurred in.

Graham, William Albert Graham – 1993, p93 The last nevi'im mentioned in the Jewish Bible are Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi, all of whom lived at the end of the 70-year Babylonian exile of c. 586 to 539 BCE. The Talmud ( Sanhedrin 11a) states that Haggai, Zachariah, and Malachi were the last prophets, and later times have known only the " Bath Kol" (בת קול, lit. daughter of a voice, "voice of God").
