Prophets

Jonah.

Nahum and Zephaniah mention Nineveh, but they likely did not go there.

Answer 1

There is no mention of Muhammad in the Torah, Neviim or Ketuvim. He was born long after they were written. Judaism considers him as a regular person, not a prophet.

Answer 2

Mohammed has no role in Judaism and he is considered nothing more than a human who led Arab tribes; no different than any other Arab Sheikh. The issue with Mohammed's "prophecy", from a Jewish perspective, comes from five objections to what he claimed and preached, as well as the Bible's inability to support him:

• Prophecy Post-Malachi: Judaism believes that each generation has a weaker connection to God than the previous generation. Judaism also holds that a person has to have a naturally strong connection to God in order to prophesy. Therefore, around the time of the Prophet Malachi, humanity was losing the strength to maintain prophesy. Jews therefore claim that since Malachi, no person is capable of prophesying successfully. As Mohammed lived over 900 years after Malachi died, Mohammed therefore could not be a Prophet.
• Disagreements with the Torah: Mohammed claimed that he received Divine Revelations that explicitly contradicted the Torah such as the claim the Ishmael was taken to be sacrificed instead of Isaac. Mohammed claimed that any differences between what his revelations and the Torah was due to corruption from bad Jews. This infuriated Jews who maintained that their scripture was the same one that they had been using for centuries. He was disagreeing with the words of the Torah and according to Deuteronomy 13:1-4, anyone who openly disagrees with the words of the Torah is a false prophet at best.
• Inclusion of Christian Tradition: Mohammed said that Jesus and John the Baptist were prophets when the Jews did not believe so. Jesus was seen in the Jewish community as not only a heretic, but the cause of much Jewish suffering because of Christian persecution. Jews could not accept the religious leadership of someone that supported Jesus as a legitimate prophet. Of course, Jews also rejected Jesus for substantial religious reasons which Mohammed did not take the time to hear out. Muslims today often do not know what the Jewish perspective was on Jesus that led to their rejection of him. (A related question addresses that particular issue: Why Jews rejected Jesus?)
• Different Rules: Islamic Law was not the same as Jewish Law. While there were certainly similarities, it was a different law and Jews were not going to give up their traditions and history to join a new religious group. To many Jews, it was another example of all of the previous religions that had tried to convert them away from their proper mission.
• No Biblical Prophecy for Mohammed: Muslims often incorrectly point to Song of Songs 5:16 which has the Hebrew word "Machmadim" in it to place Mohammed in the Bible. This fails to realize that (a) "Machmadim" is an actual Hebrew word meaning "lovely" or "nice" and (b) that Song of Songs Chapter 5 is detailing a love story, not a prophecy. There is nothing else in the Bible that can even be bent out of shape to support the arrival of Mohammed.

Song of Songs 5:10-12, 16: (NIV): My beloved is radiant and ruddy, outstanding among ten thousand. 11 His head is purest gold; his hair is wavy and black as a raven. 12 His eyes are like doves by the water streams, washed in milk, mounted like jewels....16 His mouth is sweetness itself; he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.

The major prophets were Samuel , Daniel, Jeremiah, Isaiah.Ezekiel.

The major prophets are:

Isaiah Jeremiah Lamentations Ezekiel Daniel

The minor prophets are:

Hosea Joel Amos Obadiah Jonah Micah Nahum Habakkuk Zephaniah haggai Zechariah Malachi

The minor prophets are called the minor prophets because the lives of the prophets were more obscure and their writings were shorter not because they were less important.

Ezekiel 2:9-3:3. Then I looked, and I saw a hand stretched out to me. In it was a scroll, which he unrolled before me. On both sides of it were written words of lament and mourning and woe. And he said to me, "Son of man, eat what is before you, eat this scroll; then go an speak to the house of Israel " So I opened my mouth and he gave me the scroll to eat. Then he said to me, "Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your stomach with it." So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth."

Revelation 10:8-11 Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me once more: "Go, take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land."

9 So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, "Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but 'in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.'[a]" 10 I took the little scroll from the angel's hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour. 11 Then I was told, "You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings."

The Bible does not tell us when God created angels, only when he created the first man Adam, on day 6.

It states in Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" and then continues to tell us of the 6 days of creation and the 7th day that God rested from His work.

All things were created by God as stated in Colossians 1:16 which reads "For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him" and v.17 "and He is before all things and in Him all things consist.." So from these verses we do know that all things were created which includes angels. Angelsare invisible and in verse 16 it states that He created both the visible and invisible things: although throughout the scriptures we do see times when angels visibly appeared to different people at different times.

Because we do not know which day God created the angels, we cannot know how long the time period was between the angels and Adam as you ask. All we know is that Adam was formed from the dust of the earth on day 6 of creation.

People speculate or try to guess when the angels were created but the fact is we do not know and it must not be important otherwise I believe God would have revealed this information to us. What we do know, however, is that satan led numerous numbers of angels in rebellion against God some time near the very beginning.

Elijah and Elisha were both experts at performing magic tricks or trivial miracles. For his friend, Elijah converted an ordinary cake into one that never grew smaller as it was eaten and, in contrived circumstances, resuscitated her apparently dead son, an event that is described in exact detail in spite of the lack of witnesses. Elisha made a pot of oil into one that never emptied, no matter how much was poured from it (2 Kings 4:3-7). Later, just as the woman friend in whose home Elijah was staying had accused Elijah of bringing evil that caused the death of her son, so a woman friend in whose home Elisha often stayed, accused him of deceiving her, after her son had died. And just as Elijah lay on top of the son to revive him, so Elisha lay on top of the other son to revive him (2 Kings 4:28-35). Both prophets struck the River Jordan with a stick, causing the waters to part, thereby avoiding the inconvenience of needing to cross in a boat. If Elisha really was Elijah's successor, he was also his imitator.
