Prophets (Hebrew Bible)

Prophets in the Hebrew Bible are individuals chosen by God to communicate His messages, guidance, and sometimes warnings to the people of Israel. They often addressed social justice, faithfulness to God, and future events, calling people to repentance and ethical conduct. Prophets served as spiritual leaders, emphasizing God's covenant with His people and challenging societal injustices. Their messages could be personal, communal, or future-oriented, and some, like Isaiah and Jeremiah, are central figures in biblical history. Their role was to inspire moral integrity and reinforce the importance of adhering to God's laws for the well-being of society.
