Faith, hope, and Love.
“ Love never fails. Prophecies will cease, tongues will be silent, knowledge will pass away. Our knowledge is imperfect and our prophesying is imperfect. When the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. When I was a child I used to talk like a child, think like a child, reason like a child. When I became a man I put childish ways aside. Now we see indistinctly as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. My knowledge is imperfect now; then I shall know even as I am known. There are in the end three things that last: faith, hope, and love --- and the greatest of these is love" <1Cor 13: 8-13>
Adam, Noah, Moses, & Abraham all had Covenants with God --- or God Promised them something in exchange for another thing. Jesus is the fulfilment of the covanants (deliverance of God to us) and Jesus promises us forgivness and life eternal with God (Father, Son, & Holy Spirit) through him (Jesus Christ).

It seems that from your examples you are not clear on what and who a prophet is. God speaks to men through prophets to communicate with His people about Himself and what He is going to do. The Old Testament prophets are primarily prophesying about 2 things. God revealing Himself to His chosen people and the coming of Jesus. They clarify that Jesus is the path to God established by God for all of mankind. This is God reaching out to man and offering the free gift of grace and the ability to have a personal one on one relationship with the Living God. This is a gift that is freely given without any conditions, requirements or prejudice and offered to all mankind.
In your examples you are confusing man's truths with God's truths. Either you believe the God that you say you believe in or you don't. In the books that you are using of the Holy Bible and the Quran, they contradict each other. Since this is a truth and not an assumption what is the point that you are trying to make?

Prophets are here to relay a message from God. Sometimes a warning, sometimes an encouragement. They are not generally predicting future events, though some prophecies did point toward Jesus. They're just messengers that God speaks through. Not all that you list are true prophets.

God does not send anybody down to earth from anywhre above.All beings on earth are subject to the forces of gravity and should be made of the elements of the earth and recycled .God is not incapable of doiing things which he should depend on the mortal prophets to achieve . For god did not do the most wonderful and toughest of jobs like creating the whol;e universe and all the creatures on it with the help of any agents like th emortalprophets . The prophets are created by men with some purpose of their own or created by self for some purpose of thier own.God will nt create peoplke to kill people created by himself . the prophets doid not live longer than other men and even died much earlier than many ordinary men because they lied in thenme of God.If the prophets were special beings made by god with a special mission ,they could have lived even longer than the earth and the mud which are not greater than those special favourite beings of god .but las t for erternity here in this universe itself and did not vanish like the special beings. the prophets ate , eased and dies like any animal or being and did not live for eternity.

God sends prophets to the world so there will always be a messenger on the planet at all times to gather those souls who are ready to go home.

We are like a new machine which requires assistance to work properly for that one we need some specific guidelines and instructions without that we are blind in this world.
God is masterminded none can stand against him. He sends messengers just to do that for our sake to guide us to straight path like an instruction manual and to eliminate hatred and racisim, all are equal men and women, black and white but he has assigned separate duties to both of them he has given men physical strength while for women mental strength according which he assigned separate duties to both of them. we humans dont understand his blessings and object to it.
Nobody will stand if we go against his decisions. Obey his messengers and u will be rewarded by God, sure he is beneficient and merciful. confess, you will be releived. Do it and feel

A Prophet is someone who can speak for God. He would send them to spread His word.

All prophets have preached only one message. Love for humanity. It is foolishness to compare who is better than whom and we endup in the same cycle of hatred and violence.
I do not believe in any religion and all are for political prupose only. period.
