What does the Bible say about the Old Testament prophets?

Answered in 1 source

The Old Testament prophets reveal God's judgment and salvation, ultimately pointing to Christ.

The Old Testament prophets serve as God's mouthpieces, addressing the contemporary issues of Israel and Judah while foreshadowing the coming of Christ. They articulate God's judgment against His people for their unfaithfulness and idolatry, as well as His promise of redemption through the Messiah. Their messages contain dual fulfillments—speaking to the immediate circumstances of their audience and also projecting forward to the salvation found in Christ's work on the cross. For example, Isaiah is often regarded as the 'prophet of the prophets' because his writings reveal more about Christ than any other Old Testament text, making the prophetic literature essential for understanding the gospel.
