Profetas e Profetismo: Identidade e Missão

Abstract

The Prophet in the Old Testament is a unique figure. If there are equivalents of the biblical prophets in other cultures of antiquity, the phenomenon is, however, unique in Israel. It is unique by its nature, by its source and its argument. The prophets in Israel presents itself as the fulfillment of the Word of God in Alliance and maintains the momentum with all the passion that enrapture their heart and actions. Not a dependent relationship of the cult, marked by formality or by collusion with political clichés - on the contrary, an intense relationship, the rapture and dedication that determines his life and message. The phenomenon that was noted and the requirements of the Alliance is of great importance as testamentary veterinary literature.
