Prophets in the Old Testament?

You say Torah, I say Books of the Law

Christianity and Judaism have the same roots, though Christians, being the followers of Christ, read and teach the New Testament too, as Christ is the fulfillment of many of the Old Testament prophecies, with His birth being first prophesied in Genesis 3:15, or as the theologians call it, the Proto Evangelium, the first mention of the gospel. Christ had His heel bruised by Satan with His death on the cross, but by rising of His own power from the dead, He bruised the head of the serpent by conquering death, hell, and the grave and promising eternal life for all that follow Him and are saved.

Satan is the serpent, as he was in the Garden of Eden, and his head was bruised for he was defeated soundly by Christ for Christ took the full brunt of Satan's power on the cross (as well as taking the penalty for the sin of the world, becoming the personfication of sin, though He never sinned in His life, as God judged His only Son for all past, present and future sin) and won, proving that death nor Satan has any power over God, Christ, or the Holy Spirit, nor those that trust in the saving blood of Jesus Christ to forgive them their sins.

The Bible is broken up into various categories, with all of the actual words being God-breathed/inspired, and these categories are named differently, depending on what perspective is being taken.

Which prophet worshiped the sun?

AnswerAlmost all proups in the Mediterranean region worshipped the sun god. It has been suggested that, as religions progress from animism, the first gods and goddesses are related to the earth and fertility. At this stage, Mother Earth, sometimes known as Gaia, is particularly important. A further stage is when the sky gods become dominant. These include the stoem god, moon god and sun god.

Some scholars have suggested that Moses and Joshua were originally representations of the sun god, worshipped by the people of Judah and Israel, before they gradually became part of Hebrew tradition as mortal Patriarchs. Various passages in the Book of Exodus seem to demonstrate affinity with the sun god.

What was the work of a prophet in Hebrew Scriptures?

God sent His prophets to His people with His warnings, reproof and correction, to "keep His Commandments and laws," and to repent and turn to Him and obey them, when they refused or failed to.

"The LORD warned Israel and Judah through all His prophets and seers: 'Turn from your evil ways. Observe My Commands and Decrees, in accordance with the entire Law that I commanded your fathers to obey and that I delivered to you through My servants the prophets.' But they would not listen and were as stiff-necked as their fathers, who did not trust in the LORD their God." (II Kings 17:13-14 NIV)

Sometimes [most of the time] the prophets died for the people to whom they were sent to serve:

"'O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you..." (Matt.23:37 NIV).

And the prophets wrote down the Words God gave to them to reveal their "prophecies" to the latter generations of God's people as to what God intends to do in the future:

"...'These Words are Trustworthy and True. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel to show His servants the things that must soon take place.' 'Behold, I AM coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the Words of the prophecy in this book.'" (Rev.22:6-7 NIV)

The written words of the prophets still serve God's people [those who believe them] through the Bible. Although most people are still "stiff-necked" and still "don't listen" and still don't "trust in the Lord"... the warnings and reproof and correction of the prophets... and the call to repent are still being sent for the people whom they still serve.

"...'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.'" (Luke 16:31 NIV)

The prophets also edified and informed the people of the good news of the advent of Christ and Salvation:

"...Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Mein the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms... and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." (Luke 24:44-47 NIV)

The prophets did these things for the people they served -- and they are still doing it through God's Living, Written Word, the Bible.

What happened with the Prophet in the month of safar?

There are many such events, some of which we will refer to below:

(1) Ibn al-Qayyim said:

Then he himself [the Prophet ()] went on the military campaign

of al-Abwaa', also known as Waddaan. This was the first military

campaign in which he took part himself. It happened in Safar,

twelve months after the Hijrah. The banner, which was white, was

carried by Hamzah ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib. He appointed Sa'd ibn

'Ubaadah in charge of Madeenah (in his absence), and he went

out with the Muhaajireen only, to intercept a caravan of Quraysh,

but there was no fighting.

During this campaign, he made a peace treaty with Makhshiy ibn

'Amr al-Dumari, who was the leader of Bani Dumrah at his time,

agreeing that he would not attack Bani Dumrah and they would

not attack him, that they would never join any group to attack him

and that they would never help any enemy against him. The treaty

between them was written down, and the Prophet was away for

fifteen nights. (Zaad al-Ma'aad, 3/164, 165)

(2) And he said:

When Safar came (in 3 AH), some people from 'Adal and al-

Qaarah came to him and said that there Muslims among them,

and they asked him to send with them someone who would teach

them Islam and the Qur'aan. So he sent six people with them, according

to the report of Ibn Ishaaq. According to al-Bukhaari, the

number was ten. He put Marthad ibn Abi Marthad al-Ghanawi in

charge of them, and among them was Khubayb ibn 'Adiy. They

went with them, and when they reached al-Rajee' - which is water

belonging to Hudhayl, somewhere in the Hijaaz - they betrayed

them and sought the help of Hudhayl against them. So they came

and surrounded them; they killed most of them and took Khubayb

ibn 'Adiy and Zayd ibn al-Dathinah prisoner. They took them to

Makkah and sold them there, because they had killed some of the

leaders of Quraysh at Badr. (Zaad al-Ma'aad, 3/244)

(3) And he said:

In the same month of Safar, in 4 AH, there was the battle of Bi'r

Ma'oonah (the well of Ma'oonah), which may be summed up as

follows:

Abu Baraa' 'Aamir ibn al-Maalik, who was known as Mulaa'ib al-

Asinnah, came to the Messenger of Allaah () in Madeenah. He

invited him to Islam but he did not become Muslim, but neither

did he seem far away from doing so. He said, "O Messenger of

Allaah, why do you not send your companions to the

people of Najd to call them to your religion? I hope that

they would respond." The Prophet () said, "I fear that the

people of Najd may harm them." Abu Baraa' said: "They

will be under my protection." So he sent forty men with him,

according to the report of Ibn Ishaaq. According to al-Saheeh, the

number was seventy, and what is narrated in al-Saheeh is correct.

He put al-Mundhir ibn 'Amr, one of the tribe of Bani Saa'idah

which was known as al-Mu'annaq, in charge of them. They were

among the best, most virtuous and foremost Muslims. They travelled

until they stopped at Bi´r Ma'oonah - which is between the

land of Bani 'Aamir and the harrah (lava field) of Bani Sulaym -

where they camped. Then they sent Haraam ibn Milhaan, the

brother of Umm Sulaym, with the letter of the Messenger of Allaah

to the enemy of Allaah, 'Aamir ibn al-Tufayl. He did not look

at it, and he commanded a man to stab him in the back with a

spear. When he was stabbed and he saw the blood, he said, "I

have won, by the Lord of the Ka'abah [i.e., attained martyrdom]."

Then the enemy of Allaah immediately urged Banu 'Aamir to kill

the rest (of the Muslims), but they did not respond, because of the

protection of Abu Baraa'. Then he urged Bani Sulaym, and

'Asiyah, Ra'l and Dhakwaan responded to him. They came and

surrounded the companions of the Messenger of Allaah, and they

fought until they were all killed, except for Ka'b ibn Zayd ibn al16

Najjaar, who was found wounded among the dead. He lived until

he was killed at the battle of al-Khandaq. 'Amr ibn Umayyah al-

Dumari and al-Mundhir ibn 'Uqbah ibn 'Aamir were looking after

the animals of the Muslims, and they saw a bird hovering over the

battle field. Al-Mundhir ibn Muhammad came and fought the

mushrikeen until he was killed along with his companions, and

'Amr ibn Umayyah al-Dumari was taken prisoner. When he told

them that he was from Mudar, 'Aamir shaved his head and released

him on behalf of his mother who was obliged to free a

slave. 'Amr ibn Umayyah went back and when he reached al-

Qarqarah min Sadr Qanaah (a place), he rested in the shade of a

tree. Two men from Bani Kilaab came and rested there with him,

and when they slept 'Amr killed them. He thought that he had

avenged the deaths of his companions, but they had a treaty with

the Messenger of Allaah, of which he was unaware. When he came

(to Madeenah) he told the Messenger of Allaah what he had done,

and he said, "You have killed two people for whom I will

certainly pay the diyah (blood money)." (Zaad al-Ma'aad,

3/246-248)

(4) Ibn al-Qayyim said:

When he set out for Khaybar, it was the end of Muharram, not the

beginning, and he conquered it in Safar. (Zaad al-Ma'aad, 3/339-

340)

(5) And he said:

Section on the campaign of Qutbah ibn 'Aamir ibn Hadeedah to

Khath'am.

This took place in Safar 9 AH. Ibn Sa'd said: they said: the Messenger

of Allaah sent Qutbah ibn 'Aamir with twenty men to a region

of Khath'am at the end of Tibaalah, and he commanded him

to launch a raid. They went out with ten camels, which they took

turns riding. They captured a man and interrogated him, but he

would not speak, then he started yelling, raising the alarm, so they

killed him. They waited until the people had gone to sleep, then

they launched their attack. There was intense fighting, resulting in

many wounded on both sides. Qutbah ibn 'Aamir killed whoever

he killed, and they (the Muslims) took the cattle, women and

sheep to Madeenah. It says in the story that the people regrouped

and pursued them, then Allaah sent a great flood which came between

them and the Muslims, so the Muslims drove the cattle,

sheep and prisoners whilst they were looking on, but they could

not cross the water until they had gone. (Zaad al-Ma'aad, 3/514)

(6) And he said:

A delegation from 'Udhrah came to the Messenger of Allaah in Safar

of 9 AH, consisting of twelve men, including Jamrah ibn al-

Nu'maan. The Messenger of Allaah said: "Who are these

people?" Their spokesman said: "Some people that you may

know of; we are Bani 'Udhrah, the brother of Qusayy on

his mother's side. We are the people who supported Qusayy

and removed Khuzaa'ah and Bani Bakr from the

valley of Makkah. We have relatives and families." The

Messenger of Allaah said: "Welcome to you, I know you

well." They became Muslim, and the Messenger of Allaah gave

them the glad tidings of the conquest of Shaam (Syria) and the

flight of Heraclius to a well-fortified part of his country. The Messenger

of Allaah forbade them to consult fortunetellers, and to offer

the sacrifices which they used to offer, telling them that they

were obliged only to offer the udhiyah (sacrifice of 'Eid al-

Adhaa´). They stayed for a few days in the house of Ramlah, then

they departed." (Zaad al-Ma'aad, 3/657)

Did all prophets attend the school of the prophets?

A:This is unclear. Robert P. Carroll (The World of Ancient Israel: Sociological, Anthropological and Political Perspectives, Prophecy and society) says the Hebrew Bible presents so many different, ambiguous and ambivalent stories and treatments of prophets that the modern reader has to admit that the ancient Israelite writers had no clear image of what a prophet was or should be. Ronald E. Clements (ibid, Israel in its historical and cultural setting) says that not all scholars believe the schools for prophets actually existed. The answer to this question therefore remains open.

Answer:

This does not appear to be so as development of a school of the prophets seems to have happened during the time of Samuel (1 Samuel 10:15). It has been said that there were 3 main 'campuses' but I only found one at Jerusalem in 2 Kings 22:14 and one that Paul attended at Tyrannus in Acts 19:9. In either case, prophets existed before that and perhaps even after Paul.

The fact that prophets governed the schools of ministry in the Old Testament system is easy to understand. They were the final authority in spiritual matters because they had "the word of the Lord." The priest could use oracles, and the King was anointed in certain areas of decision making to hear directly from God, but they were both subject to the prophet as the one who got the messages. King Saul found this truth the hard way. Many persons deliberately inquired of the Lord through the prophet.

I do recall reading once that the Torah has a 'school of Eliyahu founded in circa 1920 BC and was said to have restored 2000 years of no teachings. I cannot say how much of this memory is accurate.

Final thought: Prophets all, have a revealed message from God and do not require instructions or special training. God chooses and uses as He wills. You can read how inferior each of the noted Prophets of the Bible felt from Moses to Jeremiah and Ezekiel when spoken to by God and given their commissions. No school can match that awesome experience. No school can teach future revelation accurately.
