From the greatest to the least.<\/p>\n<p>The greatest prophet is Moses, evidence for this statement: \u201cNumbers 12:6\u00a0And He said: &#8216;Hear now My words: if there be a prophet among you, I the LORD do make Myself known unto him in a vision, I do speak with him in a dream. 7\u00a0My servant Moses is not so; he is trusted in all My house; 8\u00a0with him do I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD doth he behold; wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against My servant, against Moses?&#8217;. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>Other Prophets: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mechon-mamre.org\/p\/pt\/pt0518.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Deuteronomy 18<\/a>:15\u00a0A prophet will the LORD thy God raise up unto thee, from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; 16\u00a0according to all that thou didst desire of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying: &#8216;Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.&#8217; 17\u00a0And the LORD said unto me: &#8216;They have well said that which they have spoken. 18\u00a0I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee; and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. 19\u00a0And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto My words which he shall speak in My name, I will require it of him.20\u00a0But the prophet, that shall speak a word presumptuously in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.&#8217; 21\u00a0And if thou say in thy heart: &#8216;How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?&#8217; 22\u00a0When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken; the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously, thou shalt not be afraid of him.<\/p>\n<p>While many signs a prophecies seem to be being fulfilled, there are things not yet accomplished that must be before the Last Day happens. We are very close, within a four years. What remains to be done, is likely to pick up speed as many seemingly impossible things have been accomplished and the last punishment and preparations for the final battle are underway. To see this, read the news on the internet and how the world is lining up to bring the remaining to completion.<\/p>\n<p>Other writings addressing what is coming and why are:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/ask-james.com\/wordpress1\/?p=222\" target=\"_blank\">The Last Day<\/a>\u201d http:\/\/ask-james.com\/wordpress1\/?p=222<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/ask-james.com\/wordpress1\/?p=502\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;The Last Day Continued&#8221;<\/a> http:\/\/ask-james.com\/wordpress1\/?p=502<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/ask-james.com\/wordpress1\/?p=545\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;The Last Day Part 2&#8221;<\/a> http:\/\/ask-james.com\/wordpress1\/?p=545<\/p>\n<p>There are of course many of writings there which are very related.
