Prophet

Adam, The First Prophet

### Summary

Human mouthpieces of God who deliver Their teachings and the orders of the Heavenly Council.

**Prophets** are humans that are chosen to wield immense powers and importance. Their main purpose is to be the Abrahamic God's mouthpieces on the Mortal Realm, as well as delivers of the orders and instructions from the Heavenly Council.

## Overview

In religion, a **prophet** is an individual who is regarded as being in contact with a divine being and is said to speak on behalf of that being, serving as an intermediary with humanity by delivering messages or teachings from the supernatural source to other people. The message that the prophet conveys is called a prophecy.

Claims of prophethood have existed in many cultures and religions throughout history, including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, ancient Greek religion, Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism, and many others.

## Appearance

In terms of appearance, prophets are virtually the same as any other humans, possessing little to no special characteristics about their appearance that set them apart from other men, such as specially-colored features like eyes and hair, or the supernatural beauty often associated with the agents of God.

Regarding powers and spiritual aura, however, any entity with even a hint of magical energy can sense a prophet even from across the world, for the energy radiating from them are purer and more beautiful than anything in the Mortal Realm, beyond that of even the pagan deities and on-par with any other Pure Angels.

According to Zeus, the aura of the prophets he had encountered was so divinely beautiful that for a moment, he forgot that he himself was immortal and not a mortal in the presence of a god.

## Characteristics

The process of choosing a prophet is a tightly-guarded secret that not even the Seraphim have knowledge of, and only the Abrahamic God and the Celestial Princes have any idea on how a prophet might be chosen from all possible candidates. However, it is implied that Metatron and Sandalphon, being the Guardian Angels of all prophets, also have some idea on how they might be chosen.

It is, however, a widely known fact that all prophets have to be descended from Adam and Eve, meaning that they must have some Edenim DNA within them which would allow them to understand the knowledge normally forbidden and incomprehensible to ordinary mortals.

For every prophet chosen, a high-ranking Angel is assigned to be their Guardian Angel in addition to Metatron and Sandalphon, acting as their protectors when the need arises. Any presence of danger will cause intervention from his or her Guardian Angel, even if that intervention goes against what a prophet has prophesied. Occasionally, the Celestial Princes will also become the Guardian Angels of the prophets that are "important" to the "overall narrative", such as Uriel with Abraham or Gabriel with Muhammad.

The Angels themselves seem to have a subconscious knowledge of all prophets or prophet candidates, as Irina seemed to understand what Tosca was even before any official acknowledgement was given. This trait, however, seemed to be lost when they fell and became Fallen Angels and Demons.

According to Azazel, due to them constantly receiving visions and messages that are usually not understandable by any mortal means, hearing "voices that shouldn't be there", many prophets have been mistaken for having mental illnesses such as schizophrenia or synesthesia. The most famous example for this is with the Trojan princess Cassandra, who was wrongfully be mistaken as a madwoman because of her family didn't understand how she had been chosen as a prophet for a foreign god and was given visions of the distant future, thus creating the rumors of how she had been cursed by Apollo as a result.

On several occasions, they are tasked with the duty of reminding other pantheons and supernatural Factions of their places within the supernatural hierarchy, beneath the Abrahamic Heavens, and enforces the Ancient Laws and the rules of the Angelos Concordat throughout the territory of all pantheons that signed it. They also deliver the orders, instructions, and official statements from the Heavenly Council, though it seems like neither the gods nor the prophets themselves really like to do it.

In Chapter XXX, it was revealed that the prophets also have the duty of being humanity's protectors against being dominated and conquered by the supernaturals, acting as mankind's last barrier of protection and are thus given the needed powers to do so by the Abrahamic God Themself. Because of this, many of them are regarded as the "Emperors of Humanity", having reached beyond the possible peaks of human limitations and potential and are on-par with that of the pagan gods themselves.

In important circumstances, they are also enforced with the mission of restoring the natural order back to its intended balance, usually via fixing any mistake or damage caused by the Three Factions in their conflicts. According to Shemhazai, for several generations of prophets straight, they had to do nothing but restoring the damage caused by the Great War across the Mortal World and the Divine World, with the largest possible "fix" being the universe having to be restructuring the entirety of the known universe and the Earth turning from a flat, disk-like shape to its current shape today.

## Trivia

* While the official term for any work created by a prophet is *prophecy*, they are mainly referred to as "holy scriptures" to differentiate them with actual prophecies.
* According to Metatron, the Angels speak to the prophets via a microphone in a special room located in the Sixth Heaven.
* Although they are affiliated with the Abrahamic religions, being religious isn't a requirement all prophets needed to have, as there have been multiple pagans and atheists chosen to be prophets based on their innate potential and powers across the millennia.
* While there are as many prophetesses as there are male prophets, the male ones "have better PR management".
* The Islamic prophet Muhammad is the last prophet to deliver God's teachings and instructions, as all prophets following him mainly act as restorers of the Great War's damages, protectors for humanity, and creators of holy scriptures.
	+ Another reason for this is due to God having entered "sleep mode" and the Avatars of God had either gone inactive or dead and the Abrahamic Heavens is now currently ruled by Michael, who had decided to end the Age of Gods on Earth and thus limited the Angels' interactions with humanity as low as possible.
	+ Because of this, the Quran remained as the most detailed religious scripture to ever be created by a prophet.
