Favorite prophet of the Old Testament

[CyrilSebastian]

                         Of the prophets mentioned in the Old Testament, who is your favorite?     
                         
                         

[Shin]

Hmm..  I have to think about this one..

 

[CyrilSebastian]

                         I like the Prophet Micah.   
                         Micah 5, 2:   
                         But you,  Bethlehem-Ephrathah, too small to be among the clans of Judah,     
                         From you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler of Israel.

[Poche]

I like the prophet Elijah

[Shin]

What do you two like about them both?

[CyrilSebastian]

                    I like that Micah's prophecy is announcing Ultimate joy:     
                    THE SAVIOR SHALL COME!!!!

I like Elijah, too!    I have a little shrine with an icon of him that sits on my desk where I read and pray or just sit. The image is of the story where ravens bring him bread.  Our parish priest, suggested I read about him and I have been hooked ever since 

[Shin]

Yes that story of the ravens really is special!

And Micah's announcement.. How heartening, thank you Cyril!

I am going to have to read through the Old Testament a little and think a little more before I can answer myself at all, if I can. I am truly enjoying reading about other folks favorites.

All ye Patriarchs and Prophets, pray for us!
