Difference between old testament prophets and prophets today
- Sin
Old Testament prophets spoke against the sin of the day and called people back to repentance. Because of this they were often hated and killed.
The modern-day prophets do not address sin and avoid the topic, instead, they pronounce blessings and promise prosperity
- Specific
Old Testament prophets were specific when prophecying, and their prophecies did not depend on the faith of the person receiving it.
- Money
Old Testament prophets were not motivated by money and lived humble lives.
