Les '''prophètes''' sont des personnages de la [[Bible]] (mais pas exclusivement) qui, sous l'[[inspiration]] du [[Saint Esprit]], ont annoncé des événements du passé, du présent ou du future. Leur message inspiré ont l'appelle "prophétie". La venue du [[Messie]], notre Seigneur [[Jésus Christ]], a été annoncée et prophétisée par les prophètes de l'[[Ancien Testament]]. En général, on considère que comme premier des prophètes (chronologiquement) [[Abraham]], et comme dernier [[Jean Baptiste]] (qui est eu seuil du [[Nouveau Testament]]).
Certains prophètes ont mis par écrit ce message inspiré (la prophétie), dans les livres prophétiques de l'Ancien Testament. D'autres, et même des grands prophètes, comme [[Élie]] et Jean le Baptiste, n'ont rien écrit.
La figure du prophète s'ajoute à celle du [[prêtre]] et du roi. Les trois charismes se retrouveront, ensemble, tout d'abord dans la personne de Jésus Christ. Fondamentalement, le prophète est là pour réveiller le peuple, en conspuant ses abus (culte des dieux: d'Astartés, de Baals etc.) ou en lui redonnant l'espérance (durant des périodes d'exil, comme celui babylonien, par exemple). Ce faisant, il annonce et révèle le dessein divin. Le prophète est la "voix", la "parole" est celle de Dieu.<ref>http://fr.wikikto.eu/index.php/Proph%C3%A8te</ref>
==[[Old Testament]] Prophecy==
The word ''prophet'' itself derives from the Greeks, who used the word προφήτης to refer to an interpreter or spokesperson of a deity, who "utters forth." In Hebrew, however, the word traditionally translated as prophet ''nevi'', which likely means "proclaimer." The meaning of ''nevi'' is perhaps described in [[Deuteronomy]] 18:18, where God said, "I will put my words in his mouth and he will speak to them all that I command him." Thus, the ''navi'' was thought to be the "mouth" of God. The root nun-bet-alef (''navi'') is based on the two-letter root ''nun-bet'' which denotes hollowness or openness, perhaps in reference to God.
Some examples of prophets in the Old Testament include [[Abraham]], [[Righteous Sarah|Sarah]], [[Moses]], [[Isaiah]], [[David]], [[Solomon]], and [[Job the Long-suffering|Job]]. Also, sixteen books in the Old Testament are called by the names of [[prophet]]s, although not necessarily written by their hands. They are traditionally divided into the "major" and "minor" prophets:
===Grands prophètes===
* [[Livre d'Isaïe|Isaïe]]
* [[Livre de Jérémie|Jérémie]] incluant le livre de [[Baruch]] la [[Lettre de Jérémie]]
* [[Livre d'Ézéchiel|Ézéchiel]]
* [[Livre de Daniel|Daniel]]
===Petits prophètes===
Les douze livres des "petits prophètes" (ou "prophètes mineurs"):
* [[Livre d'Osée|Osée]]
* [[Livre de Joël|Joël]]
* [[Livre d'Amos|Amos]]
* [[Livre d'Abdias|Abdias]]
* [[Livre de Jonas|Jonas]]
* [[Livre de Michée|Michée]]
* [[Livre de Nahum|Nahum]]
* [[Livre de Habaquq|Habaquq]]
* [[Livre de Sophonie|Sophonie]]
* [[Livre d'Aggée|Aggée]]
* [[Livre de Zacharie|Zacharie]]
* [[Livre de Malachie|Malachie]]
==La fin de la prophétie==
Orthodoxy teaches that John the Baptist (also known as John the Forerunner) was the last of the prophets, thus tightly linking the period of prophecy in the Old Testament with [[Jesus Christ|Jesus]], who delivered the fullness or fulfillment of the law.
Some Protestant (and thus heretical) sects hold that prophecy continues to this day, including Pentecostals and Quakers. In doing so, they often manage to diminish the role of [[Holy Tradition]] by overemphasizing such new "revelations." [[Mormonism|Mormons]] also think that the current president of their "church" is a prophet. An early Christian heresy centering around continuing prophecy was [[Montanism]], whose most notable adherent was [[Tertullian]].
This, however, is not to say that the spirit of prophecy is dead in the Church; there are many instances of saints and other Orthodox receiving prophetic dreams or visions. The term "prophet" itself, though, is generally reserved for Old Testament figures.
==Assessment of the prophet's authenticity and false prophets==
According to Deuteronomy 18:21-22, one should judge a prophet by checking whether his predictions come true. Likewise, in the [[New Testament]] Christ warned against false prophets and said that one should judge a prophet by his fruits. From ([[Gospel of Matthew|Matthew]] 7):
:''Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.''
:''Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?''
:''Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.''
:''A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.''
:''Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.''
:''Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.''<ref>[http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%207;&version=9; Matthew 7]King James Version, in public domain. Cited on www.biblegateway.com.</ref>
Sts. [[Apostle Peter|Peter]] and [[Apostle Paul|Paul]] also enjoin the faithful to beware of "false prophets" (i.e. heretics) repeatedly in their epistles. See [[2 Peter]] 2 and [[Acts of the Apostles|Acts]] 20:28 in particular.
