'Prophets' in the Bible

As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.

And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.

For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
