Prophet Esa in Arabic (Jesus in English) is a God Messenger to whom God revealed the Bible, holy book of Christians.
No. Just to double-check, I reread Amos in the Hebrew and find nothing indicating madness. He prophesies, especially concerning the exile of the Ten Tribes.
How were prophets chosen in the Bible?
Several papers in The World of Ancient Israel: Sociological, Anthropological and Political Perspectives (Edited by R. E. Clements) deals with the biblical prophets in some detail. Robert P. Carroll (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 is or should be. Ronald E. Clements (Israel in its historical and cultural setting) says the prophetic books were clearly not written by prophets, but represent distilled collections of prophetic material, often from diverse ages.
Some believe that there were 'schools' in which prophets were trained, while others believe that the prophets were loners, who railed against the authorities of their day.

Additionally, in Luke 24:19, Jesus is described as "a prophet mighty in deed and word."

What are the first three prophets in the first half of the Bible called?
The first three prophets in the first half of the Bible are often referred to as the "Major Prophets." These include Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. They are called "major" due to the length and significance of their writings, which address various themes such as judgment, hope, and the coming Messiah. These books are found in the Old Testament of the Bible.
Edgar Cayce is known as the 'The Sleeping Prophet'. He was a famous American psychic medium and medical intuitive who lived from 1877 until 1945. Cayce was called the "sleeping prophet" because of his very specific method of doing readings. Every day he would lie down on a couch in his office, place his hands in a relaxed position on his stomach, and proceed to enter an altered state of consciousness known as a 'trance'. He would appear to be asleep, but would then be given the name and location of a person anywhere in the world. In his deep meditative state he would begin to speak in a normal voice and answer any questions asked about that person. Today this is known as doing a psychic "reading".
Cayce left the world an invaluable legacy. Among other things he is considered by some to be the "father of new age spirituality" and it has also been reported that he accurately predicted several major world events, including the stock market crash and Depression of 1929, the beginning of World War II, as well as many natural disasters. Most recently there were claims that he predicted the earthquake in Japan. Cayce also founded a non-profit organisation known as the Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.) in 1931, with the aim to further explore some of the subjects that often came up in his readings, such as spirituality, holistic health, psychic development, reincarnation, and ancient mysteries.
However, the most remarkable aspect of Cayce's legacy is the fact that he had all of his readings recorded in writing. The A.R.E. is the custodian of the more than 14,000 documented psychic readings Cayce channeled during his lifetime. These documents are available to the public for investigation, study and research purposes and have been used in the production of hundreds of books, documentary films and television programs on a variety of subjects. Cayce's collection of readings is believed to be the largest recorded body of work by one psychic in the history of the world.
Where is the prophet Joseph smith buried?
Joseph Smith had dreams of salamanders that he claimed was an angel. He's not a prophet, and he's buried in the ground like most people :)
Why did not Elijah kill the prophets of astorath?
Because they tried to lead the Children of Israel away from Yahweh.
No, Balaam is not at all a man of God. Many think that he is a prophet of God but actually he just said what God asked him to do (read numbers 22-24).From the bible verse "Balaam also the son of Beor,the soothsayer,did the children of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them" - Joshuva 13:22, it is very obvious that he is a soothsayer and not a prophet.A prophet will not be a soothsayer.And also when Lord didnot allow him to curse the children of Israel, he induced the people to do sins against Lord which is very clear from the verse in Numbers 31:16. A prophet of God will not guide the children of Israel to sins. Also read the verse deutronomy 23:4, which will clearly say that Balaam was money-minded(to get more money, he went with Balak to curse the people). Simple answer is: A man of God will only bless the people and not try to curse the people. Balaam tried so many times in different places to curse them but the almighty God didnot allow him. Balaam is only a soothsayer and not a prophet.
Joab was the eldest son of Zeruiah, David's sister, and captain of David's army. He was closely associated with all the chief events of David's reign, and was generally faithful to his master. After David's death he was in favor of Adonijah's succession, and for that reason was put to death by Solomon. From this writing you can see that Joab was punished, though unjustly.
