Very good question brother
All the prophets came for the same message which is to worship one god, Jesus did not come to change the basic doctrine of the belief in One God, brought by earlier prophets, but to confirm and renew it. In the Qur'an, Jesus is reported as saying that he came: "To attest the law which was before me. And to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden to you; I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear God and obey me." (Qur'an 3:50)

None of the pre-Messianic prophets actually met Jesus Christ, but prophesied of Him, even Abraham, without even knowing he did.....in Genesis 22:8, when God is testing Abraham's obedience in sacrificing his son, the son asks his father where the sacrificial lamb is.....Abraham replies (from the Standard Revised Version of the Holy Bible) "God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." In the Gospels, John the Baptist introduces the Messiah as "the lamb who takes away the sins of the world." If a mere flesh and blood human could sacrifice his son out of obedience, then the Creator could sacrifice His Son for the salvation of humanity and, during His ministry on earth, the Messiah also said in the Gospels "When you have seen the Son, you have seen the Father also".....the Triune Godhead consists of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; three distinct entities that comprise of a whole, complete and harmonious unit--kinda like the shell, the yolk and the white that comprise of an egg.....I think the verse that most appropriately answers your question can be found in Matthew 28:18 after the Resurrection in which Jesus gives the Great Commission.....He says "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me".....Who can give the Son authority except the Father? And that includes authority to receive praise, honor, glory and worship on earth as well as in heaven....when the pre-Messianic prophets placed their faith in God, it was also simultaneously placed in the Messiah as well.....there's so many more scriptures, but I think this one best answers your question.....straight up sentiments, and the blessings of the Most High to you.....

psalms 8
psalms 2
isaiah 9-6
joshua 5-13?
malachi 3-1?
judges 13-20
and there are more...and if we can call jesus (the messiah) 'the angel of god' there are many many more.
im sorry, ive got to edit this a little bit because i just realized you did the same... first of all, you jumped in and started talkin about how no prophets even knew about the messiah before the messiah came, but if you would have waited for some answers you would have seen how there are many things from the old testimant that give strength to the son of god...
do you know what the problem is? you dont want to believe, you are not allowing yourself to see the truth, and even when you do, you still deny it...
i once heard a saying that went something like this - the only way to experience a new world is not by changing sceneries but by changing your eyes (perspective) - or something like that.
why dont you give it a try...instead of lookin at it as if you know for certain what is so, look at it as if you are looking to learn about what is so, because if you go into it not believing in the first place it is the same as not wanting to believe, and if you dont want to believe, you wont be able to.... even if the truth is there for you to believe in.
no im sorry, reread your question, you said 'I would like to know if Prophet Abraham or any other Prophets before Christ worship or take Jesus Christ as saviour', hence ANY OTHER PROPHETS.....not just abraham.

Jesus is New Testament; Abraham and the other prophets are old testament. Jesus was born centuries after Abraham; he was only known as The Messiah, not Jesus. Those who chose to follow the teachings of Jesus were known as Christians; those who have continued to follow the Old Testament, Abraham and the other prophets in the Old Testament are practicing Judaism and are known as Jewish or Jews. The Old Testament is referred to by the Jews as The Talmud. Jesus was born a Jew and was referred to by his followers as 'Rabbi', which means he was a teacher of the Holy Word of God.

Because He alone fulfilled all 365 prophecies written about Him when he came over 2000 years ago. NO one can say that or disprove it. It is the truth whether you believe it or not. He alone is God in human form and was a fulfiller of the written Word. He is The Word of prophecy and not the prophet who wrote what was inspired by the Word. How mant people can heal sickness, cause the blind to see, the lame to walk and the dead to rise? The answer is clear. NO ONE, but Jesus Christ. You have been lied to for to long . I cherish the friend who shares a harsh truth wanting ten times more to tell me a loving lie.

No.
God sent His spirit to dwell in human flesh when he sent Christ. Following Christ was not the key to eternal life until he joined the rest of humankind. Abraham followed the law, which was the way to demonstrate your loyalty and devotion to God, the Creator - the way to salvation. After Christ, the way to salvation was *only* through Him. Following the teachings and examples of Christ, being like Him and living a clean life without judging, without condemnation, without rudeness, with humility, with patience, kindess, and gentleness would be the way to salvation - but not by default. Believing that God sent Christ, believing that Christ's physical body was destroyed so that He could leave the earth and go back to sit by the Heavenly Father - that is the key to salvation. Abraham would have believed in Christ and followed His teachings if Christ would have appeared more often - but it was not this way until much later. Christ lived a life without blemish - and was not "merely a prophet" - or he would not have been without sin.
The Holy Spirit of God dwells within those who believe in Christ as God's direct descendent. Life with Christ makes ALL THINGS SECONDARY - including race and borders, handicaps, and limitations, definitions of success and failure, war, and the desire to have more than your neighbor. If everyone believed in Christ and followed His teachings (truly followed them), this world would be a much different place.
Peace to you.

How could he? Jesus wasn't even born yet. that is chronologically impossible. Abraham was the founding father of three religions... Judaism, Islam and Christianity (because Christianity came from Judaism.)

Abraham was a mirror image of God the father giving his son to die for us, Jesus said before Abraham was I AM, it was the I AM who gave us the ten commandments in the mountain, you should read your bible before you speak

John 8:54 Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, 'He is our God.' 55 But you have not known him. I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and I keep his word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad."
57 So the Jews said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?" 58 Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am."
Galatians 3:5 Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith-- 6 just as Abraham "believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness"? 7 Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "In you shall all the nations be blessed." 9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

no way jose. abraham was the first jew and jews only believe in one G-d...not incarnates or anything. and christians worship jesus because they believe he is G-d in the flesh. and too, it's really impossible (and illogical) how the trinity can be 1.
