These are the prophets.
The prophets of the northern kingdom (Israel), viz., Hosea, Amos, Joel, Jonah.
The prophets of Judah, viz., Isaiah, Jeremiah, Obadiah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah.
The prophets of Captivity, viz., Ezekiel and Daniel.
The prophets of the Restoration, viz., Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi.
The others can somewhat be considered prophets, though prophet is different from preacher, they would have attributes of a prophet as well, like John the Baptist for example.
Others were part of or makers of prophecy, but not necessarily prophets, such in the case of King David and King Solomon, though they held attributes of prophets.
Jesus is Messiah, he was prophesied and though he was also prophet, teacher and preacher. Jesus as Messiah and God means that the words of the prophets came from him.

omit Lot for sure...the others did have some direct contact with God so not certain how to claify some of them.. and Jesus(Jesus was not a "prophet").... John The Baptist was the last Prophet of God.... the alternative definition of the word prophet is "teacher". that may be applied to many today...but...they are not "prophets" in the way of the ones God used in the times of those you list.... the Prophets then were given God's Word and Will for mankind directly from God and they passed that which they received to mankind... these revealings were new and directly from God...today, we have those who take what was given to those original Prophets and pass the compleated Word and Will of God to othere in "teachings"....but... the teaching is not any new revelation from God... but the Compleated Word and Will of God... there is no need for any prophets today, in the way of those you list and others of God's Prophets from those days... as God has given us all we are to receive from him... Through Jesus The Christ.... Since Christ's Teaching and Sacrifice there have been no more Prophets of God To mankind.

A prophet is someone who God chooses to speak through. Jesus wasn't a prophet, because he is God the Son.

Not all these were prophets.
Why didn't you mention Jonah or Micah or Isaiah or Jeremiah or any of the other prophets from God?
These prophets told the people what God would do in the future if they would not repent of their sins.
The prophets spoke the words of the LORD in the name of the LORD, and what they said came to pass just as they proclaimed.
An interesting side note, on average, one out of every 6 to 8 verses in the Old Testament were prophetic in nature. Some even had a double level of prophecy, one level that would occur in the immediate future, and one that wouldn't occur until 1,000s of years later.
A very few prophets told what happened before men walked on earth, crouched and hidden away using names the people recognized, but symbolically referring to the heavenly realm.
Did you know that there were over 300 Old Testament prophecies that point directly to Jesus? It's amazing, and yet true.
Daniel told us WHEN God's Messiah would come (483 years after King Cyrus gives the command to rebuild the temple). That was a double prophecy, because the Jews did NOT expect King Cyrus to support them. 483 years AFTER he gave the command, Jesus was born.
Micah told us WHERE God's Messiah would be born, "But you, O Bethlehem, though you are least among the tribes, from you shall come forth a ruler whose origins are from ancient days, from everlasting."
Isaiah said LOTS about God's Messiah, including his virgin birth, along with a description of who he actually is: "Unto us a son is given. Unto us a child is born. The government that will be upon his shoulders shall have no end. And his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
Isaiah told us what his life would be all about, that he would proclaim the good news to the poor, set at liberty those who are bound, etc.
He also told us that he would die for the sins of the people: Isa 53:3-5 (KJV): "He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. (4) Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. (5) But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."
King David described the physical affects of a crucifixion 1,000s of years before the Romans ever invented it. The Scripture sounds like David is speaking in 1st person, but we know that these things never happened to him personally, so we realize it is prophecy: Psa 22:14-18 (KJV): "I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. (15) My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. (16) For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. (17) I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. (18) They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture."
Interesting enough, when Jesus was on the cross, He quoted the first verse of this passage to remind them of the prophecy: Psa 22:1 (KJV)" "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?" He was not crying out for his own sake, but so that the people would see that he truly was the fulfillment of the prophecy, because when he started the quote, those who knew the Scriptures automatically filled in the rest from their memories.
Amazing how that Jesus fulfilled every last prophecy, eh?
