Tribe: Gad (of Tishbe in Gilead)

Summary: The prophet 𐤀𐤋𐤉𐤄𐤅 (AliYAHU / Elijah) was from the tribe of Gad according to the earliest and most reliable traditions found in Scripture and ancient commentary. 1 Kings 17:1 identifies him as “AliYAHU the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead.” The region of Gilead was east of the Yardan (Jordan River), the territory inherited by the tribe of Gad (see Numbers 32:1, 33–34 and Deuteronomy 3:12). Thus, being from Tishbe in Gilead places AlYahu among the Gadites. Therefore, AliYAHU was a Gadite prophet—a man of the tribe of Gad, dwelling in Gilead, chosen by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YaHU’aH) to stand as a fiery defender of the covenant in the days of Ahab and Jezebel. His zeal for truth, power in petition, and unwavering boldness before kings made him the living embodiment of covenant righteousness and divine authority.

Tribe: Yissakar

Summary: 𐤀𐤋𐤉𐤔𐤄 (Alysha), whose name means “𐤀𐤋 (AL) is Salvation,” was the chosen successor of 𐤀𐤋𐤉𐤄𐤅 (AliYAHU). Born in Abel-meholah within the inheritance of Yissakar, he revealed 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YaHU’aH)’s power through miraculous obedience. His compassion brought deliverance and renewal to many, proving that divine power rests in consecration and trust. Alysha’s ministry showed that the living Breath of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 continues through those who stand firm in His covenant. The double portion of AliYAHU’s anointing confirmed him as a witness of succession and authority among Yashar’al.

Tribe: Yahudah (Judah)

Summary: The prophet 𐤀𐤁𐤃𐤉𐤄 (AbadYAHU / Obadiah)—whose name means “Servant of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YaHU’aH)”—is not directly identified by tribe in Scripture, but based on contextual and historical evidence, the strongest understanding is that he was from the tribe of Yahudah (Judah). Here’s why: 1 Kings 18:3–16 introduces an Obadiah who served in the court of King Ahab yet feared YaHU’aH greatly and secretly hid one hundred prophets from Jezebel’s persecution. While Scripture doesn’t explicitly link this Obadiah to the prophetic book, many ancient Hebrew sources—including the Talmud (Sanhedrin 39b) and early Hebrew commentaries—identify this same Obadiah as the prophet AbadYAHU. Since Ahab ruled over the Northern Kingdom (Yashar’al), but Obadiah was a faithful servant of YaHU’aH and likely born in the Southern Kingdom (Yahudah) before serving in the north, this suggests his tribal origin was Judah.

So, AbadYAHU (Obadiah) is most consistently regarded as a Yahudite (of the tribe of Yahudah)—a righteous man serving under a wicked king, chosen by YaHU’aH to prophesy against the proud nation of Edom and declare the ultimate restoration of Yashar’al.

Tribe: Eternal — 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 Himself, the Source and Covenant Keeper

Summary: The Name 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (Yahu) carries the essence of existence itself, derived from the root “HWH,” meaning to be, to exist, or to breathe. It represents the self-existent, everlasting One—He who was, who is, and who will be. Found in numerous Hebrew names of prophets and patriarchs, “Yahu” testifies to the divine seal placed upon those who carry His covenant. This sacred portion of the Name is never casual or partial—it is the living declaration that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YaHU’aH) alone is the Source, Deliverer, and Sustainer of all life. When embedded in names like YashaYAHU, YarmiYAHU, or HananiYAHU, it marks a divine relationship of service and consecration. The revelation of “Yahu” is the eternal witness of the covenant people that their strength, deliverance, and identity are rooted solely in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄—the One who is, and the One who will forever be.

Summary: The prophet 𐤇𐤔𐤉𐤄𐤅 (HushaYAHU / Hosea)—whose name means “Salvation of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YaHU’aH)”—was from the tribe of Re’uven and prophesied to the Northern Kingdom of Yashar’al during its moral and covenantal collapse. His life became a living parable of divine steadfastness and covenant love. Commanded by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 to marry Gomer, a woman of unfaithfulness, HushaYAHU’s personal suffering mirrored YaHU’aH’s sorrow over His people’s rebellion. Through this prophetic marriage, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 revealed His enduring commitment to restore Yashar’al despite her transgressions. HushaYAHU exposed the hypocrisy of idolatrous worship and called the people to return in obedience and truth. His writings contain both fierce judgment and tender promises, portraying 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 as the Redeemer who disciplines but also heals.

His prophecies centered on the coming “Day of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄,” a time of both judgment and deliverance. Yo’AL vividly described a locust plague that devastated the land, using it as a symbol of the coming invasion and divine correction. Yet, amid this warning, he offered a message of renewal—calling the people to sincere repentance, fasting, and obedience. He foretold the outpouring of Ruach ha’Qodash (Consecrated Breath) upon all flesh, a prophecy fulfilled in the days of the early followers of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤉𐤏 (Yahusha).

Tribe: Yahudah (Judah)

Summary: The prophet (Amus / Amos)—whose name means “Burden Bearer”—was from the village of Tekoa in the territory of Yahudah. Though not from a prophetic family, he was called by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YaHU’aH) from his work as a shepherd and dresser of sycamore trees to deliver a powerful message of judgment to both Yahudah and the Northern Kingdom of Yashar’al. His prophecies condemned the oppression of the poor, corruption in leadership, and false worship that had overtaken the people. Through vivid visions—of locusts, fire, a plumb line, and a basket of summer fruit—Amus warned of the coming exile and destruction unless the people returned to righteousness. Yet he also spoke of hope: a time when the fallen tabernacle of Dawid would be restored and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s people would again dwell in peace.

He was called in a vision of divine majesty, witnessing 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 seated upon His throne and receiving purification by a coal from the altar. YashaYAHU’s message centered on repentance, righteousness, and the revelation of the promised Redeemer. He boldly warned of impending judgment on Yahudah and Yashar’al for their rebellion while foretelling the restoration that would come through the suffering Servant and the everlasting reign of peace. His writings combine sharp rebuke with prophetic hope, unveiling both the near and distant works of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.

Chosen by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YaHU’aH) to deliver a message of repentance to Nineveh, the capital of Assyria, Yonah fled from his divine commission, revealing the human struggle between obedience and personal will. Swallowed by a great fish prepared by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, Yonah remained alive for three days and nights in its belly—a prophetic sign later mirrored in the burial and resurrection of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤉𐤏 (Yahusha). After being delivered, Yonah obeyed the command and preached repentance to Nineveh, resulting in the city’s remarkable turning from wickedness. Though he struggled with the compassion of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, his account demonstrates the vast mercy of the AL’mighty and His desire that even nations outside Yashar’al come to repentance and obedience.

His prophecies focus on the fall of Nineveh, the capital of Assyria, a nation that had long oppressed Yashar’al. While earlier, through Yonah (Jonah), Nineveh had been granted mercy, by Nahum’s time it had returned to violence and arrogance. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 revealed to Nahum that divine judgment was imminent—the empire would be utterly destroyed, never to rise again. Through vivid poetic imagery, Nahum proclaimed that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s justice avenges the oppressed and brings relief to His covenant people.

Unlike many prophets who delivered messages to the people, Chabaqquq’s writings take the form of a dialogue between himself and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YaHU’aH). Troubled by the rise of violence and injustice within the land, he cried out for understanding, questioning why evil seemed to prosper. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 revealed to him that the Chaldeans (Babylonians) would be the instrument of judgment, yet even they would face destruction in due time. Through these revelations, Chabaqquq learned the necessity of steadfastness and trust in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s perfect timing.

He prophesied during the reign of King YoshiYAHU (Josiah), a time when idolatry and injustice had deeply corrupted the nation. His message declared the coming “Day of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄,” a day of wrath and purification that would humble the proud and refine the remnant. TsaphanYAHU urged the people to seek righteousness and humility so they might be hidden in the day of judgment. His prophecy also foretold the restoration of the remnant of Yashar’al and the rejoicing of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 in His renewed people. Through his words, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 revealed both the severity of divine correction and the compassion of His protective covering over those who walk uprightly.
