How did the prophet Zephaniah die?
Answer 1
Zephaniah was put death by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.
Answer 2
As a researcher and contributor, I'm unable to find any biblical record of the death of Zephaniah. It appears the answer is, "Unknown."
Answer 3
Jeremiah 52:24-27 explains how King Nebuchadnezzar killed Zephaniah
Additional Comments:
Jewish names are like many others where there are usually more than one person with the same given name - even in a similar line of work. This seems to be the case here with Answer 3 above. The priest name Zephaniah in the Book of Jeremiah 52:24-27 appears to be the same man as noted in Jeremiah 29:25, at least they share the same given name. This figure does not appear to be the Prophet Zephaniah.
The Prophet Zephaniah who wrote a book in the Old Testament, was a contemporary of Jeremiah. He lists his genealogy back four generations to Hezekiah (probably Judah's King then) as follows: son of Cushi, son of Gedaliah, son of Amariah, son of Hezekiah in the days of Josiah, King of Judah - circa 627 BC.
On the other hand, the priest Zephaniah mentioned in Jeremiah 29 and 52 says he is the son of Maaseiah. So, it is obviously a different Zephaniah than the 'minor prophet' Zephaniah of whom the Scripture does not note his date/way of death.
What is the story of prophet musa?
The summary of Moses is A retelling of the bible story. Pharaoh Ramses decrees the death of all Hebrew children, but Moses, placed in a basket in the Nile by his mother, is taken by a royal princess and raised as the brother of the heir to the throne of Egypt, Memefta. Moses is called by God to lead his people from Egypt to the promised land. A very reluctant prophet, feeling unworthy of the call, Moses accepts the task. After a series of plagues Memefta agrees to let the Hebrews go. With second thoughts, he pursues them to annihilation of his army in the parting of the Red Sea. Starvation is averted by manna from heaven, the ten commandments are given the people through Moses, they go astray with worship of the golden calf. Forty years of wandering in the wilderness, until finally they reach what will be their home (which Moses lives to see but not to enter). Written by Bruce Cameron {dumarest@midcoast.com} The story begins in Egypt with the persecution of newborn Hebrew males, and Ptira's, the Pharaoh's daughter, discovery of the infant Moses on the Nile. Moses' youth at the Pharaoh's court ends abruptly when he is forced to flee, after he kills an Egyptian overseer to save his brother Aaron. During his years of exile, Moses meets his future wife Zipporah and her father Jethro. After Moses and Zipporah's wedding, the vision of God in the Burning Bush occurs, commanding Moses to return to Egypt with Zipporah and his brother Aaron. There, Moses and Aaron confront the Pharaoh, demanding that he free the Israelites. Only after the tenth plague - the killing of the Egyptian firstborn - does the Pharaoh allow them to depart. With the crossing of the Red Sea and God's destruction of the Egyptian army ends the first part of the story. The second part begins with the discontent of the famished Israelites with Moses. The mood changes when God nourishes Israelites with the sudden, welcome gift of manna and quails in the desert. On the slopes of Mount Sinai, God and the people of Israel enter into a Covenant, which is sealed by Moses receiving the Ten Commandments on the mountaintop. Upon his return to the camp, however, Moses is shocked to discover that the people of Israel have lost their faith in God and are now worshipping an idol: the Golden Calf. In rage, Moses smashes the tablets and severely punishes the idolizers before retreating to the mountaintop and receiving the new tablets. On the way to the Promised Land, Moses' sister, Miriam, jealous of Moses' wife Zipporah, rebels against her brother's leadership. God punishes her and makes it quite clear that Moses is the chosen leader and will remain so. Finally on the borders of the Promised Land, the Israelites send out twelve scouts. Their fearful description of the Canaanites when they return shocks the people of Israel into rebelling against Moses and Aaron, intending to kill them and return immediately to Egypt. God quickly punishes the rebels, and tells Moses that none of the adult Israelites he has led will ever see the Promised Land, and instead must wander through the desert for another 40 years. Exactly forty years later, Miriam dies. Although Moses wants to mourn the loss of his sister, the people only complain to him about the lack of water. At God's command, Moses strikes a rock and water flows from it, but he is so angry and frustrated with his people that he forgets to attribute the miracle to God, and he too is condemned to never enter the Promised Land. Moses appoints Joshua as his successor and sets off alone to the peak of Mount Nebo. As a final mark of his forgiveness and thankfulness, God grants Moses the chance to look over into the Promised Land just before his death. Finally, now under the leadership of Joshua, the Israelites cross the Jordan river into the Promised Land. Happyfeet360 wrote this.
Is an oracle the same as a prophet?
A prophet is a person embued by god to give devine messages to people. Prophets go out and do this actively.
An oracle is a place where a person can go and ask a god for answers to questions and the answers are not necessarily provided by one person. You have to visit the oracle, it does not come to you.

- In a coming messiah (meaning "anointed one") -- though they differ on what the purpose/role he will play
- In the resurrection of the body
- The world will be destroyed

Which prophet wrote the shortest book?
Likely it was Jesus Christ at age 33. Who though He came as the Son of God was also to be considered a prophet, or John the Baptist, also called a prophet who died around the same age. If however we are talking in terms of the Prophets actually in the times of the Books of the Old Testament, that is hard to say as we do not know the ages of death of many of them. If I were to guess I would guess one who met an untimely end. This prophet however is not named. His story is in 1 Kings 13:1-24. But I cant be certain of that, just that likely overall the youngest to die was Christ and John the Baptist.
Did Nostradamus believe in God?
Yes. Nostradamus was a Christian. His relationship with the Church, as a prophet and healer, was excellent, although he was briefly imprisoned because he had published his 1562 almanac without the prior permission of a bishop, contrary to a royal decree.
AnswerNostradamus was born into a Jewish home, but his parents and himself converted to Catholicism. It does appear that for some of his life, he was fairly religious and active in his faith; but, after the death of his first wife and their 2 children- which, though he had helped to save other plague victims thru making a type of Vit D supplement (& the like), he was unable to save his wife and their children.-
After this loss, it appears that his healthy curiosity of Astronomy & the Earth, he begun to dig deeper, and into the occult. He began doing private meditation or sayances (sp?) sessions. This is when he began going in the direction of the occult & away from G-d. Doing these sessions, opens one up to evil/ possession/ and to evil prophecies (prophesies not from G-d). The Bible does state that the Devil has been given enough leash to give prophecies- and even though some may be accurate (to entice others into believing), they can't be trusted. And the importance of truly knowing the word of G-d and His warnings to ensure one isn't tricked.
Nostradamus may have believed that his revelations were given by G-d, or he may have completely turned away from G-d in search for the same thing that caused the original fall- infinite knowledge. This, is a bit harder to find a straight answer.
Be sure to keep a critical mind, and allow for honest research to lead you, rather than, ones OWN perception (like the response below). In today's world, in can take some time of sifting through misinformation/ opinions, and out right lies, in order to find &/ or piece together the full truth. Be accepting of new information, look for disproving & supporting info, and always remain critical. And most of all, leave ones ego at the door. Our ego/ pride can prevent truth from coming to us more than anything else.

ANSWER:Nostradamus did not behave as if he believed in God as a real entity as described in the Bible. If he did believe, he did not believe sufficiently to heed God's words. Neither did he communicate with God since all of his prophecies failed wheras ones from God were fulfilled. Also, Nostradamus used divinition and other occultish practises forbidden in the Bible. Neither did he reveal the name of his deity.How old was the prophet nahum when he died?

Which prophet's book consist of two books?
The Books of Jeremiah and Lamentations are both traditionally ascribed to Jeremiah, but the actual authorship of Lamentations can not be established. Similar style and language are common to several of the prophet's contemporaries, and the viewpoint expressed in Lamentations is most unlike his pronouncements in Jeremiah.
No. Being a prophet refers to someone who performs prophecy, e.g. relaying the words of a divinity to other humans, not in saving people. A person can be a prophet and actually murder many or a person can save many people and not be a prophet. The two are not related.

Who was the Hebrew prophet of the 6th century BC?
NAHUM Some say the Old Testament was written before 400 BC, and there were no Old Testament books written in 600's AD.
So if you refer to the 7th Century BC, then it would have to be one of Major Prophets, such as Isaiah. But that is a guess. Check it out an on-line Bible. The answer is Nahum, a 7th Century BC Hebrew Prophet! Nahum is not the only Hebrew prophet of the 7th century: according to John MacArthur, there are at least five:-
-Nahum (Prophesied during period 626-663BC)
-Jeremiah (Prophesied during period 627-568BC)
-Zephaniah (Prophesied during period 627-568BC)
-Habakkuk (Prophesied during period 612-605BC)
-Isaiah (Prophesied during period 750 [or earlier] -686BC)
These time periods, taken from the "John MacArthur Study Bible", are accurate, and are calculated using known historical dates, which have been verified by other scholars, of particular events (eg battles) mentioned by that prophet in his own particular book and cross-checked against other historical records.

They believe Jesus was the last and the greatest prophet.
How do hindus reach enlightenment?
Enlightenment is attained by overcoming ignorance and realizing the truth. When we realize that everything in this world is a cosmic illusion, it's not real, it's like a dream, this realization leads us to overcoming our ignorance. It leads us to enlightenment. It leads us to Mukti in Hinduism, which is liberation when alive. A person who is enlightened that they are not the body, mind and ego, is liberated from the triple suffering - pain of the body, misery of the mind, agony of the ego. At death, this liberated Soul does not take rebirth, because they realize we are not the body and mind, we are the Divine Soul. Such a person who is enlightened in Hinduism attains a state of Moksha, of liberation and unification with the Divine.
Who was the prophet of the messiah?
