Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you<\/i> away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nDeu 18:15-22 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is<\/i> the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but<\/i> the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nProphets in Bible history–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nGen 20:7 Abraham<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nExo 7:1 Aaron with Moses to Pharaoh<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nExo 15:20 Miriam<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nNum 11:24-29 70 elders of Israel<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nDeu 34:10 Moses<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nJdg 4:4 Deborah<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nJdg 6:8-10 forerunner of Gideon<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n1Sa 3:20, etc. Samuel<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n1Sa 10:9-13; 19:22-24 Saul (temporarily)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n1Sa 19:18-21 Saul’s messengers (temporarily)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n1Sa 22:5; 2Sa 24:11 Gad<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n2Sa 7:2, etc. Nathan<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n1Ki 11:29, etc. Ahijah<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n1Ki 13:1-10 \u201ca man of God\u201d to Jeroboam<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n1Ki 13:11-32\u201c an old prophet\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n1Ki 16:1-7 Jehu<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n1Ki 17, etc. Elijah<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n1Ki 18:13 100 prophets hidden by Obadiah<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n1Ki 19:16, etc. Elisha<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n1Ki 20:13, 22 \u201ca prophet\u201d to Ahab<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n1Ki 20:28 a \u201cman of God\u201d to Ahab<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n1Ki 20:35-43 a \u201cman of the sons of the prophets\u201d to Ahab<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n1Ki 22:7-28; 2Ch 18:6-28 Micaiah to Jehoshaphat and Ahab<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n2Ki 2:3, 5 sons of the prophets at Bethel and Jericho<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n2Ki 9:1-10 \u201cone of the children of the prophets\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n2Ki 14:25 Jonah<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n2Ki 19:2, etc. Isaiah<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n2Ki 22:14 Huldah<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n2Ch 12:5, 15 Shemaiah<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n2Ch 13:22 Iddo<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n2Ch 15:8 Oded<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n2Ch 25:15, 16 \u201ca prophet\u201d to Amaziah<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n2Ch 28:9-11 \u201ca prophet of the Lord\u201d to the army of Israel<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n2Ch 36:12, etc. Jeremiah<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nEzr 5, 6, etc. Haggai and Zechariah<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nIsa 8:3 Isaiah’s wife<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nMat 21:11; Luk 7:16; 24:19; Joh 4:19; 6:14; 7:40; Act 3:20-24 Jesus Christ<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nLuk 1:76; 7:28 etc. John, the Baptist<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nLuk 2:36 Anna<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nAct 13:1 Barnabus, Simeon, Lucius, Manaen<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nAct 15:32 Judas, Silas<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nAct 21:10 Agabus<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nRev 19:10; 22:9 John<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nother prophets whose writings we have–Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Malachi<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nFalse Prophets in Bible history–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nNum 22-24 \u00a0Balaam<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n1Ki 18:19 450 prophets of Baal, 400 prophets of Astarte<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n1Ki 22:6 400 prophets of Ahab<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n1Ki 22:11, 12; 2Ch 18:10, 11 Zedekiah and others to Jehoshaphat and Ahab<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nNeh 6:14 Noadiah, a prophetess and others<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nJer 14:13-16; 23:9-32, etc. false prophets in Jeremiah’s time<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nJer 28 Hananiah<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nEze 13:1-16 false prophets in Ezekiel’s time<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nAct 13:6 Barjesus (Elymas)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nRev 2:20 Jezebel<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n1Sa 12:14-25 Samuel showed that he was true prophet in contrast to a false prophet described in Deuteronomy 13:1-3.
