    The Seven Prophetesses of the Old Testament

    If you count there’s actually 8 women there – I included Jael because of her involvement with Deborah’s judgement. 🤷‍♂️ This has been quite the series for me – I’ve known of some of these women through cursory Bible readings but this series has illustrated the richness of the Bible for me. There are people…

  • Sarah

    Sarah

    “Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed and said to himself, “Shall a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?” Genesis 17:17 Apparently, yes! Sarah was 90 years old when she carried Isaac. One of those cases where “with…

  • Abigail

    Abigail

    “As she came riding her donkey into a mountain ravine, there were David and his men descending toward her, and she met them. David had just said, “It’s been useless—all my watching over this fellow’s property in the wilderness so that nothing of his was missing. He has paid me back evil for good. May…

  • Hannah

    Hannah

    “I am a woman who is deeply troubled. I have not been drinking wine or beer; I was pouring out my soul to the Lord. 16 Do not take your servant for a wicked woman; I have been praying here out of my great anguish and grief.” 1 Samual 1:15-16 Reading about the 7 prophetesses has…

  • Jael

    Jael

    “So may all your enemies perish, Lord! But may all who love you be like the sun when it rises in its strength.” Judges 5:31 Taking a slight break from the 7 prophetesses and featuring Jael. Ok, I know we already talked about her but A.) I wanted to do something in-line with the art…

  • Miriam

    Miriam

    “I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; he has hurled both horse and rider into the sea.” Continuing on through the 7 prophetesses and today I’m highlighting Miriam! I’ve spent a fair amount of time reading and being exposed to the story of Moses and the escape from Egypt and Miriam…

  • Esther

    Esther

    “I will go to the king even if it is against the law. If I perish, I perish.” My series on unsung biblical heroes has morphed into my series on the 7 biblical prophetesses! Today is Esther, the beloved queen who saved the Jewish people from total annihilation. Having read this book with different eyes…

  • Deborah

    Deborah

    Continuing my series on unsung biblical heroes is Deborah; the only female judge in the Bible! I didn’t realize this before but it was Deborah that foretold the death of Sisera to a woman – that woman happens to be Jael who unceremoniously drives a tent pole through his temple. 😳  Deborah is considered (along…

  • Huldah

    Huldah

    I’m going to try and highlight some unsung heroes from the Bible. First up is Huldah who is straight up more terrifying than Thanos with her prophecy from the Lord. 😳 When I get enough of these I’ll see about grouping them into some kind of poster. Since Huldah was one of the seven prophetesses…
