institution itself and were ascribed all the powers, authority, and competence of their male counterpart. The Bible names Miriam, Deborah, Huldah, Anna, and Philip’s daughters as God’s prophetesses. Jezebel and Noadiah are mentioned as false prophetesses. Both Miriam and Deborah doubled as secular rulers as well. See the book of Judges for Deborah and refer to Micah 6:4 for the extent of authority Miriam had, even though she is simply called a prophetess in Exodus 15:20.

The meaning of the term includes the obligation to not veer from the word of the Lord in order to assure the cooperation and compliance of his or her “angelic delegation.” This applies to Samuel because the Bible says the Lord never let his words fall to the ground. See also Jeremiah 23:28. B) What distinguishes a true prophet from the false. A prophet’s ability to deliver an accurate, timely, and seasoned word from the Lord that affects the life (lives) of the hearers, sets in motion the encoded words of
