Prophets
A religious prophet is a person that is believed to have been contacted by a higher power, and shares the message or teaching. Some examples of prophets date back several centuries, and come from a variety of religious backgrounds. These could include Muhammad, Jesus Christ, and Nostradamus. More modern examples could be represented by Thomas S. Monson, and Ellen G. White.

Nostradamus was famous for making what?
A series of "predictions" in the form of "quatrains" that were so vague and all encompassing that every year we get to hear how all those predictions applied to what just happened.
Don't worry if you missed it. Next year we'll learn that all the predictions were for this year.
The "prophets' reward" is in keeping with the parables of Jesus and the prophecies that speak of Jesus "rewarding" each of His servants with "positions of rulership in His Kingdom" upon His return.
"...We give thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy Great Power, and hast reigned. And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that THOU SHOULDEST GIVE REWARD UNTO THY SERVANTS THE PROPHETS, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth." (Rev.11:18)
In the "parable of the pounds" [Luke 19:12-27), Jesus is pictured as the "Nobleman" [verse 12] who went to a "far country" [heaven] to receive for Himself a Kingdom, and to return.
Ten servants are each given a sum of money [a pound] with which each is expected to increase during the Nobleman's absence.
"And it came to pass, that when He was returned, having received the Kingdom [the returned Christ to earth], then He commanded these servants to be called to Him, to whom He had given the money, that He might know how much every man had gained by trading." [verse 15].
In other words... when Jesus returns to earth from heaven... He will "judge" each of His servants: saints, prophets -- all who attain to the "first resurrection from the dead" [see Rev.20:4-6] who "fear and respect His name"; and He will give each of them their REWARD that is commensurate with what they have done with what they have been given.
In the parable... the worthy servants who yielded gain during their allotted time were appointed Kingdom rulership over cities and their populations.
The Kingdom of God is going to be established on earth TO RULE IT!
And all of God's people [including the prophets] will each be given a "reward" of some position of rulership within the organization of God's Kingdom.
A "reward" is "earned" [the reward is not a matter of "grace"]-- and each of God's servants will receive a reward in keeping with what they have "earned."
"Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt." (Rom.4:4)
"...The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building... I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be careful how he builds. For no one can lay any foundation other than the One already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day [of the Lord; the time of Jesus' return] will bring it to Light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. IF WHAT HE BUILT SURVIVES, HE WILL RECEIVE HIS REWARD. If it is burned up, HE WILL SUFFER LOSS; HE HIMSELF WILL BE SAVED, BUT ONLY AS ONE ESCAPING THROUGH THE FLAMES." (I Cor.3:8-15 NIV)
Jesus tells us that the Kingdom of God has "many mansions." Many jobs, offices, positions of authority to be filled by God's servants.
"...I am going there to prepare a place for you." (John 14:2 NIV)
The place He's preparing will be in keeping with what each of us learns from Him, while He is there, interceding for our sins to His Father on our behalf, and teaching us His ways... how to love others, how to grow in Him as God's Children in Godly strength and character.
All will be tested by the coming fire ["...for our 'God is a consuming fire.'" - Heb.12:29 NIV] and receive the reward... the job we will have in the Kingdom of God for Eternity.
There are "many jobs" in the Kingdom that God has to fill. For instance, we are told that Jesus' disciples will be "kings" over the tribes of Israel in the Kingdom [Matt.19:28].
There are many types of "rewards." The saints have rewards... and Revelation 11:18 tells us that the prophets have another kind of reward [different responsibilities in the Kingdom from others]... and there are other rewards for all, great and small, who "fear God's name." But all of them will be in the service of the King, Jesus Christ, who will be about the global task of saving the world... to rule the nations of the earth with a rod of iron.
"To him who overcomes and does My will to the end, I will GIVE AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS -- he will rule them with an iron scepter; he will dash them to pieces like potter -- just as I have received authority from My Father." (Rev.2:26-27 NIV)
The exact reward the prophets will receive is to be determined by Jesus Christ. Just as the rewards of all the others who seek the Kingdom of God is yet to be revealed upon Jesus' return.
"Let him who does wrong continue to do wrong; let him who is vile continue to be vile; let him who does right continue to do right; and let him who is holy continue to be holy. Behold, I AM coming soon! MY REWARD IS WITH ME, and I will GIVE TO EVERYONE ACCORDING TO WHAT HE HAS DONE." (Rev.22:11-12 NIV)
And the prophets, like everyone else, will be rewarded by Jesus Christ "according to what they have done."
M. Weber (Sociology of Religion) defines a prophet as an individual bearer of charisma, who by virtue of his mission proclaims a religious doctrine or divine commandment. Weber sees two types of prophet: the first is the exemplary man who sets a personal example, represented by Buddha, and the second is one who claims to be the instrument for the proclamation of a god and his will, as represented by Muhammad and the Hebrew prophets.
Pope Benedict may not appreciate the comparison, but he fulfils Weber's definition as the second type of prophet.
If we look on prophets as someone able to predict the future with some degree of certainty, then we have weather forecasters, economists and statisticians, among others.
Was Nostradamus a real person?
A:
People can use scientific methods to predict probable events and outcomes, and can extrapolate past events to estimate likely future events, but no one has ever been able simply to prophecy future events. Anyone who claims otherwise is a fake, including Nostradamus. The writings of Nostradamus are couched in such obscure and ambiguous terms that someone can always read into them prophecies of events in our our time, but the same passage can be read by another person as an infallible prophecy of a different event that occurred or will occur at another time or place.
There are a number of similarities with the Biblical Account, but there are some differences. The general account of Adam according to Islam is discussed fully in Qisas al-Anbiya (قصص الانبياء) or the Stories of the Prophets.
Adam (آدم) was created in Jennah (الجنة) or Paradise. God then showed Adam all of Creation and instructed him on the names of all things. He also took a rib of Adam's to form his wife Hawah (حواء) or Eve. and he was commanded by Allah (الله) or God to eat of every tree except for a certain tree. God said that if Adam were to eat from this tree he would be among the Thalimin (ظالمين) or Oppressors.
This provided a test which allowed the Shaytan (شيطان) or Iblis (إبليس) or the Devil to enter Paradise. The Devil wished to prove he was better than the Human that God had Created and was prepared to use deception. It is for this reason that when God commanded all of the Angels to bow before Adam, the Devil refused. God warned Adam not to trust the Devil and when the Devil approached Adam to request him to eat of the forbidden tree, Adam consistently rejected him. The Devil then turned to Eve and tried to suggest the same to her, but she rejected him too. The Devil then claimed that it would make Eve and Adam like Angels, incapable of evil and enduring eternally. Once Eve had been convinced of this, her opinion changed and she convinced Adam to eat with her of the forbidden tree.
After consuming fruit of the forbidden tree, they realized they were naked and ran away from God since they were immodestly dressed. God chastised Adam for listening to the Devil even after he had advised Adam otherwise. However, since Adam was sinning because he wanted to be more God-like and not to oppose him, God offered Adam the ability to repent which Adam did. However, he still needed to be punished and God ordered Adam and Eve to leave Paradise and descend to this Earth. It is on Earth that Adam and Ever have numerous children that spawn the various nations.
Is Prophet TB Joshua a Freemason member?
Unless someone specifically states that he is a member of the Freemasons it is almost impossible to know for sure that they are.
No.
Nostradamus's quatrains have been subject to re-interpretations for centuries, but the fact remains that his verse is so open ended to interpretation that numerous events have been suspected for most verses, and most have root in his contemporary experience.
Prophets were needed to tell the men what god would do in the future, it need not come soon, it may take years to fulfill.

If you are referring to the stages of development in the womb, these are not described.
If you are referring to evolutionary development from an ape-like ancestor, these are also not described, since they did not happen as man was created as he is today, fully human, fully intelligent etc.
If you are referring to man as a spiritual being, the Bible describes an original state of perfection, followed by a fall into sin, and then a process of restoration into fellowship with God. In this sense humans develop into what God intends for them once they return to Him through faith in Jesus Christ and the relationship is restored.
