Prophet and His Reward:
"Matthew 10:41 NKJV
He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward."
There are many prophets in the Bible; some books in the Old Testament are classified as Major and Minor prophets.
These were the people whom God chose to speak to and through them to His people.
We learn about prophet Elijah in the book of Chronicles and Kings.
He's mentioned many a times in the New Testament as well.
Jesus too Mentions about Elijah.
God sent Elijah the prophet to the widow in Zarephath, when she gave up whatever little she had, she was the one, who was blessed. If she had not given the Bread and water to Elijah, then she would have been a loser. God can create a new way to provide for His servants. She received the prophet and the prophet's reward.
As a New Covenant Beleiver, we have the Great Prophet, and the Great High Priest -JESUS.
Yes Jesus said about this, about Himself:
"Matthew 13:57 NKJV
So they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house."
Also Moses saw Jesus as the Prophet,
"Acts 3:22-23 NKJV
For Moses truly said to the fathers, 'The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you. [23] And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.'
And Peter rightly picks up the thread as Luke points out in his narrative of the Acts of the Apostles, signifying that Jesus indeed is the One Prophet spoken by Moses. "Him you shall hear..."
"John 6:14 NKJV says:
Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, "This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world."
And the "sign" those men marvelled about was when Jesus took up five loaves and two fishes, gave thanks and fed 5000 men, besides women and children.
"Him you shall hear..." God the Father's heart's desire is that we hear Him (Jesus), who's sent down from heaven for us- the living bread. In fact, in the glory mountain there were three prophets - Moses, Elijah and Jesus, when Peter saw a sight that will stay with him the rest of his days. Whose tabernacle will you go and hear the prophetic words?
"Mark 9:7, 8 NKJV says:
And a cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!
Suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves"
Only Jesus. Hear Him!
Lord JESUS we receive you in our heart and renew our minds to hear You and to know that we're immeasurably blessed because of your work on the Cross. To The Eternally Blessed Christ, be all Honor, Wisdom Glory and Power. Amen.
