Judaism David and Saul, detail from an 1878 oil painting, Nationalmuseum, Stockholm The Hebrew term for prophet, Navi, literally means "spokesperson"; he speaks to the people as a mouthpiece of their God, and to their god on behalf of the people. "The name prophet, from the Greek meaning "forespeaker" (πρὸ being used in the original local sense), is an equivalent of the Hebrew נבוא, which signifies properly a delegate or mouthpiece of another." According to Judaism, authentic Nevuah (Heb.: נבואה ,   " Prophecy") got withdrawn from the world after the destruction of the first Jerusalem Temple. Malachi is acknowledged to have been the last authentic prophet if one accepts the opinion that Nechemyah died in Babylon before 9th Tevet 3448 (313 BCE). The Torah contains laws concerning the false prophet (Deuteronomy 13:2-6, 18:20-22) . Prophets in Islam like Lot, for example, are false prophets according to Jewish standards. In the Torah, prophecy often consisted of a conditioned warning by their God of the consequences should the society, specific communities, or their leaders not adhere to Torah's instructions in the time contemporary with the prophet's life. Prophecies sometimes included conditioned promises of blessing for obeying their god, and returning to behaviors and laws as written in the Torah. Conditioned warning prophecies feature in all Jewish works of the Tanakh. Notably Maimonides, philosophically suggested there once were many levels of prophecy , from the highest such as those experienced by Moses, to the lowest where the individuals were able to apprehend the Divine Will, but not respond or even describe this experience to others, citing in example, Shem, Eber and most notably, Noah, who, in biblical narrative, does not issue prophetic declarations.The Guide for the Perplexed /Part II/Chapter XXXIX%DIFDELCMD < %DIFDELCMD < %%% Maimonides, in his philosophical work The Guide for the Perplexed, outlines twelve modes of prophecyThe Guide for the Perplexed (Friedlander)/Part II/Chapters#CHAPTER XLV from lesser to greater degree of clarity: Inspired actions Inspired words Allegorical dream revelations Auditory dream revelations Audiovisual dream revelations/human speaker Audiovisual dream revelations/angelic speaker Audiovisual dream revelations/Divine speaker Allegorical waking vision Auditory waking revelation Audiovisual waking revelation/human speaker Audiovisual waking revelation/angelic speaker Audiovisual waking revelation/Divine speaker (that refers implicitly to Moses) The Tanakh contains prophecies from various Hebrew prophets (55 in total)who communicated messages from God to the nation of Israel, and later the population of Judea and elsewhere.

Christianity Baháʼí Faith In 1863, Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Baháʼí Faith, claimed to have been the promised messianic figure of all previous religions, and a Manifestation of God  , a type of prophet in the Baháʼí writings that serves as intermediary between the divine and humanity and who speaks with the voice of a god . Bahá'u'lláh claimed that, while being imprisoned in the Siyah-Chal in Iran, he underwent a series of mystical experiences including having a vision of the Maid of Heaven who told him of his divine mission, and the promise of divine assistance; In Baháʼí belief, the Maid of Heaven is a representation of the divine .  Buddhism The Haedong Kosung-jon (Biographies of High Monks)records that King Beopheung of Silla had desired to promulgate Buddhism as the state religion. However, officials in his court opposed him. In the fourteenth year of his reign, Beopheung's "Grand Secretary", Ichadon, devised a strategy to overcome court opposition. Ichadon schemed with the king, convincing him to make a proclamation granting Buddhism official state sanction using the royal seal. Ichadon told the king to deny having made such a proclamation when the opposing officials received it and demanded an explanation. Instead, Ichadon would confess and accept the punishment of execution, for what would quickly be seen as a forgery. Ichadon prophesied to  the king that at his execution a wonderful miracle would convince the opposing court faction of Buddhism's power. Ichadon's scheme went as planned, and the opposing officials took the bait. When Ichadon was executed on the 15th day of the 9th month in 527, his prophecywas fulfilled; the earth shook, the sun was darkened, beautiful flowers rained from the sky, his severed head flew to the sacred Geumgang mountains, and milk instead of blood sprayed 100 feet in the air from his beheaded corpse.
