Malachi
No he was not consider a prophet because the last prophet is Saint John the Baptist.
All Christians believe that he was the Messiah and St. John the Baptist was the last prophet.
St. John the Baptist according to Christianity. Malachi according to Judaism.
The last prophet in the Bible is traditionally considered to be John the Apostle, who authored the Book of Revelation. He is also known as John of Patmos and is believed to have been exiled to the island of Patmos when he received the visions that are recorded in the Book of Revelation.
The 400 years of silence is a specific term referring to the lack of prophecy in Christianity between the closing of the Old Testament and the Arrival of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. The last prophet chronologically in the Old Testament was Malachi.
Zechariah was what is known as a "minor prophet," and his book is second from last in the Old Testament (right before Malachi. In his book, Zechariah documented the visions and prophetic messages that he received from God, pertaining to the future of Israel.
John the Baptist was a prophet who preached about the coming of Jesus as the Messiah, but he was not one of Jesus's disciples. John baptized Jesus and played a crucial role in preparing the way for Jesus's ministry.
Last names (surnames) were not used at the time of John the Baptist.
Because he was a prophet. Malachi 3 says "Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me." Also read Matthew 17:10-13. * John the Baptist baptized sinful people to take away sins * The prophets of the church thought only God could take away people's sins * He would talk against the king in public [For doing this you could get thrown into prison or be killed] * He spoke about the coming of the Savior * People thought hHE was the Savior
Yes Malachi is the old Testaments last prophet, it is also the last book in the Old Testament. From Brother Terrell: Actually John the Baptist is the last old testament prophet. He is mentioned in the New Testament but the New Testament wasn't really produced until Jesus accomplished the will of God on the Cross, and then through resurrection the New Testament (covenant) came to be.
There is nothing in the Bible that says John the Baptist changed his name to Mark. Soon after we first read about John the baptist he is beheaded and that's the last we hear about him.
All the Old Testament prophets preceeded Him and many foretold His coming hundreds of years beforehand. John the Baptist ''prepared the way'' immediately before Jesus began His public ministry and told of He who was to come "whose shoes I am not worthy to untie."
