The list below is adopted from <i>The Guide to the Perplexed<\/i> (by Moses Maimonides [or the Rambam] pp. 241\u2013245.) Most so-called prophets in the church if they are on the list of the requirements for being a true prophet are at the lowest levels. This fact alone should cool the prophetic jets of most who think they\u2019re Elohim\u2019s elect and anointed prophet to the body of Yeshua. In reality, considering Israel\u2019s long history, the Scriptures reveal that there were very few Elohim-sent prophets. Long periods of time passed without there being a true prophet of Elohim in Israel. There was no shortage of false and carnal-minded prophets, however. Now here\u2019s the list:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Divine assistance given to a person to induce or encourage him to do something good and grand (e.g. Judg 2:18; 1 Sam 11:6; 1 Chr 12:18; Exod 2:17; 1 Sam 16:17). Scripture often records this occurrence when it states, \u201cAnd the Spirit of YHVH came upon <i>so and so<\/i>\u2026\u201d<\/li>\n<li>The person feels as if something came upon him, and as if he had received a new power that encourages him to speak. Such a person is said to speak by the Set-Apart Spirit. The books of Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Daniel, Job, Chronicles and the rest of the <i>Ketuvim<\/i> (Writings or Hagiographa) were written under the inspiration of the Set-Apart Spirit. See also 2 Sam 23:2; Num 11:25; 2 Chron 20:14\u201315; Num 23:5; etc.) Often prefaced by the phrase, \u201cThe Spirit of YHVH spoke to me&#8230;\u201d or \u201c<i>So and so <\/i>prophesied&#8230;\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Below are the levels of a prophet. Not all people who have these experiences are prophets. Those who hold the biblical office of a prophet will experience these things regularly and will manifest the biblical fruits, power, authority and anointing of a prophet.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This is the lowest class of a prophet. Those who introduce their speech by the phrase, \u201cAnd the word of YHVH came unto me&#8230;\u201d or a similar phrase. Sometimes he will see a prophetic allegory in a dream. Such was the case with Zechariah.<\/li>\n<li>The prophet hears in a prophetic dream something clearly and distinctly, but does not see the speaker as in the case of the call of young Samuel (e.g. 1 Sam 3).<\/li>\n<li>A person addresses the prophet in a dream, as was the case in some of the prophecies of Ezekiel (e.g. Ezek 40:4).<\/li>\n<li>An angel speaks to him in a dream. This applies to most of the prophets in Scripture (e.g. Gen 31:11).<\/li>\n<li>In a prophetic dream it appears to the prophet as if YHVH spoke to him (e.g. Isa 6:1, 8; 1 Kgs 22:19).<\/li>\n<li>Something presents itself to a prophet in a prophetic vision; he sees allegorical figures, such as were seen by Abraham in the vision \u201cbetween the pieces\u201d (Gen 15:9\u201310); for it was in a vision by daytime, as is distinctly stated.<\/li>\n<li>The prophet hears words in a prophetic vision, but does not see the person speaking to him; as is said in reference to Abraham, \u201cAnd behold, the word came to him, saying, This shall not be thine heir.\u201d (Gen 15:1, 4). This occurred to Paul on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:3ff)<\/li>\n<li>The prophet sees an angel that speaks to him in a prophetic vision as happened with Peter in his vision of the sheet from heaven (Acts 10:3) (also Rev 19:10; 22:9)<\/li>\n<li>He sees an Angel (or Messenger) of YHVH (literally, the preincarnate YHVH Yeshua) that speaks to him in a vision, as was the case when Abraham was addressed by an angel at the sacrifice of Isaac (Gen 22:15) and many other places where the Messenger of YHVH speaks to his servants directly (e.g. Gen 12:7; 16:7\u201313; 17:1, 22; 18:1; 22:11, 15; 32:24\u201332; 35:1; Exod 3:2; 13:21; 14:20; 33:9\u201311; 34:5; Num 11:25; Deut 31:15\u201316; Num 22:35\u201338; Josh 5:13\u201315; Judg 6:11\u201323; 13:3; Isa 6:1ff; John in the Book of Revelation).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you fancy yourself being a prophet, where are you on this list? Probably near the bottom. Until Elohim elevates you, it might be best to hold your peace and wait a little longer on him.<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'What are the 11 levels of a prophet?',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2016\/06\/25\/what-are-the-11-levels-of-a-prophet\/',contentID: 'post-8949',suggestTags: 'Numbers,prophecy,Prophet,Prophetic',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There Are Eleven Levels of a Prophet A little known fact in modern-day church prophetic circles is that the Bible reveals that there are eleven levels of a prophet.
