What were some of the prophets active around the time of Christ?

(In the same general area, not the far east or anything)

John the Baptist (Luke 1:76)

Simeon (Luke 2:25)

Anna (Luke 2:36)

Some might say that the three magi were, too; others may say they were “mere astrologers”. :dubious:

Ones recognized from that era by the Jewish people subsequent to the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus? None since the days of the Return from Babylon, AFAIK. All those who accepted John, et al, became Christians. If you want ones in Palestine after Jesus’ death, they’re listed in the book of Acts.
