Where in revelations does it mention the last prophet?
MUHAMMAD IN JEWISH SCRIPTURES (THE OLD TESTAMENT):
1) Muhammad (pbuh) prophesised in the book of Deuteronomy:
a) God Almighty speaks to Moses in Book of Deuteronomy chapter 18 verse 18:
"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."
b) Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is like Moses (pbuh):
i) Both had a father and a mother.
ii) Both were married and had children.
iii) Both were accepted as Prophets by their people in their lifetime.
iv) Both besides being Prophets were also kings i.e. they could inflict capital punishment.
v) Both brought new laws and new regulations for their people.
vi) Both died a natural death.
c) Muhammad (pbuh) is from among the brethren of Moses (pbuh). Arabs are brethren of Jews. Abraham (pbuh) had two sons:
Ishmail and Isaac. The Arabs are the descendants of Ishmail (pbuh) and the Jews are the descendants of Isaac (pbuh).
d) Words in the mouth:
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was unlettered and whatever revelations he received from God Almighty he repeated it verbatim.
Deuteronomy (18:18):
"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."
2) Muhammad (pbuh) is prophesised in the book of Isaiah:
It is mentioned in the book of Isaiah chapter 29 verse 12:
"And the book is delivered to him that is not learned saying, 'Read this, I pray thee'; and he saith, 'I am not learned'.
"When Archangel Gabriel commanded Muhammad (pbuh) by saying 'Iqra', he replied "I am not learned".

Who are the major prophets of Christianity?
The major prophets are Samuel, Daniel, Isaiah. Jeremiah and Ezekiel.
Who was the first prophet and the last prophet?
The answer to this question depends entirely on the religion in question.
According to Judaism, the two answers are different. The Greatest Prophet was Moses. The Last Prophet was Malachi.
According to Christianity, there is much contention over who was the Greatest Prophet, between Moses, Isaiah, John the Baptist and others. John the Baptist, however, was certainly the Last Prophet in Christianity. (Jesus Christ is not a prophet since a prophet must be someone separate from God who receives visions from God. Since Jesus Christ is God, he cannot be also be a prophet.)
According to Islam, the Greatest Prophet and the Last Prophet are both Mohammed.
According to Baha'i, the Greatest Prophet and the Last Prophet are the Baha'ullah.
The list goes on...

Where was prophet Yusuf buried?
The maqam of Musa is located about 24 km to the east of Jerusalem and 7 km southwest of Jericho in a desert.
Is the prophet Isaiah's death in the Bible?
Not directly and maybe not at all.
There is a tradition that states that Isaiah was executed by the wicked King Manasseh by sawing him in half (Manasseh was not a very nice man). We may note in this regard that Isaiah's prophecy ceases with Hezekiah and Manasseh succeeded him. (Isaiah 1:1 contains the list of Kings of Judah under which Isaiah prophesied) We also know that Manasseh 'shed innocent blood very much.' Most certainly this refers to the passing of living children into the outstretched arms of the idol Moloch. But it may also refer to the execution of people like Isaiah who was obviously innocent. If the tradition is accurate - and it is certainly possible from what we know of Manasseh plus the historical time-frame - then Hebrews 11:37 '....they were sawn asunder..' is a reference to this murderous crime.
If Hebrews 11:37 is not a reference to Isaiah then it is not mentioned. In any case the Bible itself does not, without recourse to tradition, mention it.
Does Christianity have prophets?
There are many prophets who are counted in both Christianity and Judaism. These are the prophets represented in Old Testament Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Joel, Obadiah, Amos, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi, Elisha and Elijah to mention few of the most famous. Most of them lived during the time when nation of Israel was divided into two kingdoms and their role was to call people to return back to the living God through repentance.
Apostle Paul mentions prophets as a part of New Testament church as well. he does not specify the role much, so we can possibly assume that their role is similar to the role in Old Testament - calling people of God to see the truth and return to God through repentance. These people are called to serve and equip the believers (Paul's letter to Ephesians chapter 4 verses 11-12 he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ.
What was the miracle of prophet nuh?
I am sorry but I can find no reference to a prophet Nuh, that is if you are referring to the word nuh as a prophet.
The full title of a Prophet is Prophet, Seer and Revelator. The word Prophet is more of a title than anything. What is important is that they have also the power of being able to see into the future i.e Seer, also Revelator in that they are able to recieve revelations from God regarding what man should be doing, also of what he is not doing.
When did nostradamus predict the end of the world?

Preaching methods of prophet saw?
However, during this period of preaching, the word got out about the prophet's message to the Makkans. Initially, the people were not too concerned about Muhammad (pbuh). Gradually they become concerned when they realised that the words of the prophet (pbuh) were having an effect on people. They would talk about this mission and the effects it would have on the Arabs and the religion of their fore fathers.
After three years of this preaching, the prophet (pbuh) was commanded by Allah to start preaching to his own clansmen. Muhammad (pbuh) collected together all his clansmen so that he could explain to them about Allah and about his mission. The invited audience was of about forty-five Makkans from his clansmen. This was the first encounter with Abu Lahab, who became the fiercest enemy of Islam.
The prophet (pbuh) collected the people and was about to speak to them but Abu Lahab spoke out first. He advised the Muhammad (pbuh) that he should immediately stop his mission. He said it was better for his people to follow the traditions of his forefathers than to face the rest of the Arabs. He said that the rest of the Arabs would destroy them. After Abu Lahab had finished attacking the prophet's mission, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) kept silent and said nothing in that meeting.
The Prophet (pbuh) invited them to another meeting and this time stood up and delivered a short speech explaining his mission:
He said: "I celebrate Allah's praise, I seek His help, I believe in Him, I put my trust in Him, I bear witness that there is no god to be worshipped but Allah with no associate. A guide can never lie to his people. I swear by Allah, there is no god but He, that I have been sent as a Messenger to you, in particular and to all the people, in general. I swear by Allah you will die just as you sleep, you will be resurrected just as you wake up. You will be called to account for your deeds. It is then either Hell forever or the Garden (Paradise) forever."
The Arabs at the time did not think that they would need to account for their actions; instead they would die and not be raised again. They believed in Allah but also believed that Allah had many partners. These partners were the idols who, they thought, shared power with Allah! They prayed to Allah but also prayed to these Idols. They were deeply misguided and away from the belief in one God.
It was during this meeting that Abu Talib said he would look after and defend the prophet (pbuh), even though Abu Talib himself did not accept the Muhammad's teachings or Islam. Abu Talib was sticking to the path of his fore fathers; he did not want to leave those traditions for something new.
Abu Lahab tried his best to dissuade Abu Talib from offering any support to Muhammad (pbuh). He was advising Abu Talib to do the opposite by stopping Muhammad (pbuh) and his mission rather than offering him protection. Abu Lahab threatened him by saying that it was Abu Talib's responsibility to stop Muhammad (pbuh) before someone else did.
The prophet Muhammad (PBUH) went to Safa and called the people together. This was a usual custom at the time when some major event or announcement was going to be made. The people gathered together and the prophet (pbuh) said:
'O people of Quraysh, if I was to tell you that an army was advancing to attack you from the other side of this mount will you believe me?'
The people knew the character of Muhammad (pbuh), after all they had given him the title of Al-Amin (the truthful). They had seen this gentle child grow up in this world and had seen how well he dealt with people, his honest character and his trustworthiness. They had no reason to doubt him, so they replied:
'Yes why not? We have always found you to be truthful'
The prophet (pbuh) looked at the people assembled before him and said " O banu Abdul Muttalib, O banu Abd Manaf, O Banu Zuhra! I have come to you as a Warner and if you do not respond to my warning, punishment will fall upon you. I have been sent by Allah to warn you and I can not protect you in this world, nor can I promise you anything in the next world, unless you acknowledge and submit to the worship of the one Allah"
There was silence and then Abu Lahab, one of the more powerful individuals and the prophets uncle, again responded "May you perish, did you call us to this?" the crowd then dispersed.
This was one of many incidents which Abu Lahab used his influence to ridicule and mock Islam. He became an open enemy of the prophet (pbuh) and Islam. He continued to be a hindrance and had a strong opposition to the prophet during his sacred mission.
A major turning point was when the prophet (pbuh) was commanded to openly preach Islam to the people. The Arabs realised the effect this message could have on Arabia. They were concerned that the words and verses being taught were from a source beyond this world. These verses of the Qu'ran were luring some people to Islam away from the traditional Arab way of life. The Arabs believed in a multitude of gods and Idols but were getting taught to worship only Allah. They were getting taught that Idol worship was wrong and evil.
Indeed the truth did stand out clear and anyone who was exposed to this message was affected. They knew that the message could only be from Allah, the creator and sustainer and that Muhammad (pbuh) was indeed the messenger of Allah.
They turned to Abu Talib and asked him to stop Muhammad (pbuh). They said "O Abu Talib! Your nephew curses our gods; finds faults with our way of life, mocks at our religion and degrades our forefathers; either you must stop him, or you must let us get at him." They explained that since they all followed the religion of their forefather, Abu Talib should let them get rid of Muhammad (pbuh)! Abu Talib tried his best to calm them down and make peace between them. The Prophet (pbuh) continued his mission by teaching, inviting to and practicing Islam.
There were only a few months until an important time for the Arabs - the pilgrimage to Makkah. They were worried that Muhammad (pbuh) might influence the pilgrims who were coming to worship these idols. They needed to stop Muhammad (pbuh) and do something to stop the spread of Islam. They decided to get together and join forces to stop the prophet and his message
