Bible Question: is it true there are no women prophets according to the bible? if so who were they and where is the scripture found. I was told Anna found praying in the temple waiting on the messia was a prophetess was that her title because she was married to a prophet.I continue to hear as Imeditate In the last days I will pour out my spiririt on your sons and your daughters. does that not mean the spirit of Christ who had the five fold anoiting? |
Bible Answer: There are places (plural) where the Bible mentions women (plural) as preachers (plural). The word prophetess is mentioned a total of 8 times in the entire Bible. If you look up the references, you will see in most cases that not only is the word prophetess mentioned, but also the name of the prophetess is given. Bear in mind that "to prophesy" means "to preach (tell forth)" as well as "to tell the future (forth-tell)". The references to prophetesses are as follows: Exod 15:20; Judges 4:4; 2Kings 22:14; 2Chr 34:22; Neh 6:14; Isa 8:3; Luke 2:36; Rev 2:20 In short, yes there is more than one woman preacher (prophet) in the Bible. |
