Were the prophets in ancient times numerologists?

In ancient times, a prophet was a person who could predict the future and interpret mysterious events. While some prophets may also be involved in numerology, they are not exactly equivalent to modern numerologists. The role of a prophet encompasses more of the roles of priest, seer, and soothsayer.

Prophets were considered in ancient cultures to be special figures with connections to the gods. They revealed future events and destiny by communicating with the gods or receiving divine revelations. Their prophecies can be about the rise and fall of countries, natural disasters, the fate of mankind, etc. A prophet's knowledge and authority often stemmed from his mystical connection to the gods.

Although numerology as an independent discipline can be traced back to ancient times, it is not the entire content of ancient prophets. Numerology mainly studies the evolution of personal destiny and fortune, and speculates on the direction of personal destiny through theories such as yin and yang and the five elements. Compared with numerologists, ancient prophets paid more attention to overall prediction and interpretation, not just the interpretation of personal destiny.

Although ancient prophets were involved in numerology to some extent, their role was broader and related to mystical powers and divination. Numerology is an independent science that focuses on the speculation and interpretation of personal fortune.
