The answer that there was only one god was lost by the people and they had to be re told that there is only one god
Yes there are false prophets, people who claim to be prophets, when they are really not sent or called by God.
As the world was full of sin and people refused to listen to the word of god by the prophets. Then god sent Jesus to save the world of sin.

People who wrote the bible books were many prophets. And all prophets were called for gods work.
prophets are ALLAHs (God's) messengers, sent to propogate the message of Islam. Prophets are NOT saints and should NOT be worshipped.
Prophets are regarded as men of god rightly so, as they bring the word of God to the people. Sometimes it can be a warning of what god will do.

In many religious traditions, prophets are believed to have been chosen by God to do His work, rather than volunteering for the role. Prophets are seen as having a special connection to God and are tasked with conveying His message to the people.
