What is the definition of a prophet?

Lets study Daniel. Lets start with King Nebechadnezzars dream:

 

1Now in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar ^(A)had dreams; and his spirit was troubled and his ^(B)sleep left him.

 2Then the king gave orders to call in the ^[a](C)magicians, the conjurers, the sorcerers and the ^[b]Chaldeans to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.

 3The king said to them, "I ^(D)had a dream and my spirit is anxious to understand the dream."

 4Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in ^(E)Aramaic: "^(F)O king, live forever! ^(G)Tell the dream to your servants, and we will declare the interpretation."

 5The king replied to the Chaldeans, "The command from me is firm: if you do not make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you will be ^(H)torn limb from limb and your houses will be made a rubbish heap.

 6"But if you declare the dream and its interpretation, you will receive from me ^(I)gifts and a reward and great honor; therefore declare to me the dream and its interpretation."

 7They answered a second time and said, "Let the king ^(J)tell the dream to his servants, and we will declare the interpretation."

 8The king replied, "I know for certain that you are bargaining for time, inasmuch as you have seen that the command from me is firm,

 9that if you do not make the dream known to me, there is only ^(K)one decree for you For you have agreed together to speak lying and corrupt words before me until the situation is changed; therefore tell me the dream, that I may ^(L)know that you can declare to me its interpretation."

 10The Chaldeans answered the king and said, "There is not a man on earth who could declare the matter for the king, inasmuch as no great king or ruler has ever asked anything like this of any ^(M)magician, conjurer or Chaldean.

 11"Moreover, the thing which the king demands is difficult, and there is no one else who could declare it to the king except ^(N)gods, whose ^(O)dwelling place is not with mortal flesh."

 12Because of this the king became ^(P)indignant and very furious and gave orders to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.

 13So the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they looked for ^(Q)Daniel and his friends to kill them.

 14Then Daniel replied with discretion and discernment to ^(R)Arioch, the captain of the king's bodyguard, who had gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon;

 15he said to Arioch, the king's commander, "For what reason is the decree from the king so urgent?" Then Arioch informed Daniel about the matter.

 16So Daniel went in and requested of the king that he would give him time, in order that he might declare the interpretation to the king.

 17Then Daniel went to his house and informed his friends, ^(S)Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, about the matter,

 18so that they might ^(T)request compassion from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that Daniel and his friends would not be ^(U)destroyed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

The King's Dream

 31"You, O king, were looking and behold, there was a single great statue; that statue, which was large and of extraordinary splendor, was standing in front of you, and its appearance was ^(AS)awesome.

 32"The ^(AT)head of that statue was made of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze,

 33its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.

 34"You continued looking until a ^(AU)stone was cut out ^(AV)without hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and ^(AW)crushed them.

 35"Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were crushed all at the same time and became ^(AX)like chaff from the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so that ^(AY)not a trace of them was found But the stone that struck the statue became a great ^(AZ)mountain and filled the whole earth.

Interpretation:

36"This was the dream; now we will tell ^(BA)its interpretation before the king.

 37"You, O king, are the ^(BB)king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the ^(BC)power, the strength and the glory;

 38and wherever the sons of men dwell, or the ^(BD)beasts of the field, or the birds of the sky, He has given them into your hand and has caused you to rule over them all. You are the head of gold

What does the head of gold represent?

The king was regarded as the head of the state. This is why Nebuchadnezzar represented Babylon, the empire that began the prophecy. Neo-Babylon ruled the world from 612-539 B.C. as one of the mightiest empires of antiquity--one that could aptly be described as the head of gold. Notice that the prophecy begins with Daniel's time.

 39"After you there will arise another kingdom inferior to you,

Babylon's supremacy would not last forever. Succeeding kingdoms, inferior to Babylon, would rule in their turn. Just as silver is inferior to gold, so the kingdom that followed Babylon enjoyed diminished glory. Led by Cyrus in 539 B.C., the Medo-Persian empire conquered Babylon and reduced it to ruins. The Medes and Persians were the ruling world power from 539-331 B.C. During their reign, all taxes had to be paid in silver.

39, then another third kingdom of bronze, which will rule over all the earth.

The brass kingdom of Greece came into power when Alexander the Great conquered the Medes and Persians at the battle of Arbela in 331 B.C., and Greece remained in power until about 168 B.C. Greek soldiers were called "brazen coated" because their armor was all bronze. Notice how each succeeding mineral depicted in the image is less valuable, yet more enduring than the one before it.

40"Then there will be a ^(BE)fourth kingdom as strong as iron; inasmuch as iron crushes and shatters all things, so, like iron that breaks in pieces, it will crush and break all these in pieces.

The iron monarchy of Rome conquered the Greeks in 168 B.C. and enjoyed world supremacy until Rome was captured by the Ostrogoths in A.D. 476. Rome is the kingdom that dominated the world when Jesus Christ was born. Notice how Daniel foretold a thousand years of world history with unerring accuracy. The rise and fall of these four world empires--Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome-are clearly foretold in the Bible and proved by the history books.

 41"In that you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, it will be a divided kingdom; but it will have in it the toughness of iron, inasmuch as you saw the iron mixed with common clay.

 42"As the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of pottery, so some of the kingdom will be strong and part of it will be brittle.

 43"And in that you saw the iron mixed with common clay, they will combine with one another in the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, even as iron does not combine with pottery.

When the Roman Empire began to crumble in A.D. 476, it was not overtaken by another world power. Instead, barbarian tribes conquered the Roman Empire and divided it--just as Daniel prophesied. Ten of these tribes evolved into modern Europe. They were the Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Franks, Vandals, Alemannians, Sueves, Anglo-Saxons, Heruls, Lombards, and Burgundians. Seven of them still exist today in Europe. For example, the Anglo-Saxons became the English, the Franks became the French, the Alemannians became the Germans, and the Lombards became the Italians

Through marriage, alliances, and treaties, men have vainly attempted to reunite the European continent. All throughout history, leaders such as Charlemagne, Napoleon, Kaiser Wilhelm, Mussolini, and Hitler have fought to build a new European empire; but these words of Scripture have stopped every single would-be world ruler. Revelation 13 tells us there will be another attempt to establish a universal religion, but Daniel's prophecy clearly states that the world will remain politically divided for the rest of Earth's history.

44"In the days of those kings the ^(BF)God of heaven will ^(BG)set up a ^(BH)kingdom which will never be destroyed, and that kingdom will not be left for another people; it will ^(BI)crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, but it will itself endure forever.

 45"Inasmuch as you saw that a ^(BJ)stone was cut out of the mountain without hands and that it crushed the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold, the ^(BK)great God has made known to the king what ^(BL)will take place in the future; so the dream is true and its interpretation is trustworthy."

The stone that was cut without human hands represents God's kingdom. It will not be a conglomeration of earthly kingdoms, but a total replacement (Revelation 21:1). The Scriptures declare that when Jesus Christ returns to earth, He will completely consume all the kingdoms of earth and establish an everlasting kingdom (Daniel 2:44). What exciting news! Jesus Christ is coming again! All history is moving toward this climactic conclusion, when the Son of God shall return in majesty to bring in the kingdom of everlasting righteousness. King Nebuchadnezzar may have thought that he had defeated the true God when he besieged Jerusalem and plundered the temple (Daniel 1:1, 2), but he was shown very quickly that God is ruler over all. Human events are under His control, and ultimately He will win the conflict. Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome, and the 10 divisions of the Roman Empire may have sought to usurp divine authority and destroy the people of God, but all earthly kingdoms will eventually be crushed by the coming of Christ. Thank God, He will win the great controversy!

It is only your theology that has made the odd claim that HaShem was also a man. There is not a single, solid, explicit evidence that even hints at early Hebrew worship of a triune God. So your belief that God is a man is simply your theological belief, but unfounded in Islam or what is left of the early Hebrew religion, what we now call Judaism.

Yes there is. Genesis 1:26 for one.

Note from Mod: You are "dumping". You only need to provide one solid example to prove your case, not dump an entire list that has been copied and pasted with vague assertions without any "argument" that proves the verses mean what you assert.

Lets start with the one example above.

I do not recall any "childish name calling", please point out my insult.

If I have insulted you I apologize.

 

I guess its not what you said, its how you said it. You know, such as I learned what I know from Sunday school, or I'm a missionary. But thank you, I accept your apology
