There are two totally different levels of prophesy. One is that of every prophet other than Moshe, while the second was the unique level attained only by Moshe. Elokim Himself makes this distinction when he says (Numbers 12:6, 12), “If there be a prophet among you, I, Elokim, will make Myself known to him in a vision…Not so My prophet Moshe.” Every prophet other than Moshe would receive his propecy through a vision or dream, as it is written in the Torah. Elokim states, “I make Myself known to him through a vision, I speak to him in a dream.”

A prophet might fail to grasp the complete meaning of his prophecy as with Yonah. It is also possible that a truth be revealed to a prophet and he not ascertain its full meaning. This, for example, is what happened in the case of Yonah. In his prophecy, he was told, “Nineveh will be overturned (Yonah 3:4).” In I King 22:5, we read how the false prophets were “prophesying” in Achav’s presence. This means they were exerting themselves and doing things that normally would bring about a prophetic revelation. The vision they were seeking, however, was nothing more than an evil revelation.

We apologize – due to some technical difficulties with the sound tracks on recent programs of the Way of G-d series, we are Back!!!!!
It is possible for a prophet to be in error (when he delivers his message). This is not the result of the prophecy itself, but a consequence of the manner in which, on his own, he carries it out. When this happens and a prophet does not fulfill his mission properly, he might also be punished.
As a reference, I Kings 13 we read about a prophet from Judah sent to Jereborm, King of Israel. The Midrash Sifrei on Deuteronomy 33:1 reads that the “man of G-d” was the prophet Edo. Little is known about him except for the events described in I KIngs 13.
