  Question for Rabbi YY

  When a Navi's prophecy is for bad things that will happen and they don't happen, that is not a proof that he is a Navi sheker. because the Navi sityring to get them to do teshuva. IN LechLecha, Hasem tles Avraham, V'avorcha M'vorachecha, i'm'kalelcha a'or - I will bless those that bless you, and I will curse those that curse you, whyis the orderr reversed - A,B and B,A? because is someonewants tobless you, Hashem knows that in advance, sohewillblessthem. But iftheywant tocurse,you, I willnotcurse them until after theycurseyou bcause theymightdoteshuva and changethieerminds beforetheycurseyou, so I aill what to see what they do. Rabbi, I absolutely LOVE all youru amazing words of Torah and the way you present them. I am worried and i wonder, Have i offended you in some way?! Bc I sent you a very improtant email abouat Tisha B"Av, and I have not heard back form you. If Ihave offended you, please tellme what I did and how to repair that.

  The Rambam gives rules for recognizing a true Novi

  Based on pesukim in the Chumash.

  The Chumash itself was dictated by Hashem to Moshe who wrote it down like a  stenographer and taught it to the yidden.

  But, when Moshe first appeared on the scene.these laws were not yet given. How did the yidden know at that time that Moshe was  a true  Novi and to believe him?

  Doom and gloom vs. hope

  I am not at all knowledgeable about prophets, not at all. But didn't some of the prophets predict doom and gloom? Wish I could give you specifics on why I'm thinking that, but seems in the haftorahs I've read (which I don't easily understand)m seems there were dire predictions, no?

  Hashem changed His mind from the negative prediction of the Novi Yonah

  This shows that indeed Hashem does and has changed, at least from our time bound earthly point of  view. 

  Has Hashem ever told a Novi a positive thing will happen but changed His mind because the people later sinned?
