Were ancient prophets numerologists?

In ancient times, a prophet was a person who could predict the future and explain mysterious events. Although some prophets may also be involved in numerology, they are not completely equivalent to modern numerologists. The role of prophet covers more roles of priest, prophet and soothsayer.

Prophet is considered as a special figure related to God in ancient culture. They communicate with God or get inspiration from God to reveal future events and destiny. Their predictions can be about the rise and fall of the country, natural disasters, human destiny and so on. The knowledge and authority of a prophet often comes from his mysterious connection with the gods.

Although numerology, as an independent science, can be traced back to ancient times, it is not the whole content of ancient prophets. Numerology mainly studies the evolution of personal fortune, and infers the direction of personal destiny through the theory of yin-yang and five elements. Compared with numerologists, ancient prophets paid more attention to the overall prediction and interpretation, not just the interpretation of personal destiny.

Although ancient prophets also involved in numerology to some extent, their functions were more extensive and related to mysterious power and divination. Numerology is an independent science, focusing on the speculation and interpretation of personal fortune.
