Noadiah – The Prophetess

A number of prophets are mentioned throughout the Bible, along with a number of prophetesses. In the following teaching Aliyah examines the prophetess Noadiah and her connection to the land of Israel and Nehemiah. Although many righteous men and women prophesied boldly in the name of Yahweh, some prophesied presumptuously and unrighteously. Noadiah belonged to the latter group of prophets; and it is worthwhile to examine her life and the impact she made on the people around her. Her heart was moved by compassion and the plight of suffering, so much so that it led her towards wrong motives and wrong prophecy. Her life is a lesson for our own.
