[OT Prophets' Uniforms] Gregory Goswell, "The Uniform of the Old Testament Prophet," Toronto Journal of Theology 38 (1, 2022) 25-36. This study of Elijah's clothing concludes that when clothes are specified in OT narrative, it adds to the characterization of the wearer and serves as a prop for the wearer's action. It cannot be proved that every prophet dressed after the fashion of Elijah, but after Elijah more than one prophet wore "a hairy mantle" (Zech 13:4). This mode of dress is best explained as a link to wilderness traditions and appears to express support for the religious orthodoxy of the faith proclaimed by Moses. For more on these themes, see O. Prouser, "Suited to the Throne: The Symbolic Use of Clothing in the David and Saul Narratives," JSOT 71 (1996) 27-37, and V. Matthews, "The Anthropology of Clothing in the Joseph Narrative," JSOT 65 (1995) 25-36.—F.W.G. Google Scholar 2339. [The Cessation of Prophecy and Its Role in the Process of Re-reading] Herve Tremblay, "Quel rôle la cessation du prophétisme biblique aurait-elle joué dans le processus de relecture?," In Memoriam Francolino Gonçalves, O.P. 1943–2017, 49-68 [see #2540]. Francolino Gonçalves traveled from Portugal to Ottawa in the fall of 1966. We were both young scholars at that point in time. In memorable private conversations, we shared our developing thoughts about the ongoing process of reinterpreting the prophets. Many years later (1999), we had an opportunity to reopen that friendly conversation, and that became the catalyst for the essay I offer here. A study by L. Stephen Cook, On the Question of the Cessation of Prophecy in Ancient Judaism (2011) raises an important question: Who was the last prophet? Among the rabbis, that prophet was sometimes identified as Jeremiah, who witnessed the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. After that catastrophic event, God's holy spirit left Jerusalem. Wasn't it last seen accompanying the long line of exiles heading toward Babylon? Or maybe we could spin that question in another way. Who does a prophet speak to so as to warn the nation of God's impending judgment? A prophet speaks to a king. No king on the throne of Israel? Well, then, no prophecy either! [End Page 859] But perhaps the rabbis of the Diaspora have been more comfortable giving a less dramatic answer: That is simply one of the differences that can be noticed between the First Temple and the Second Temple. There were many prophets during the time of the First Temple, but no prophets during the time of the Second Temple. For Christians, the canonical answer to the question about the last prophet is: Malachi. But prophecy was not dead—it was simply dormant until God's spirit inspired John the Baptist to preach his fiery message of repentance. John the Baptist was not afraid to speak of God's statutes before kings, was he? We might even say that John was following Ps 119:46 when he confronted Herod about his sins. Do Christians affirm that Christ was the last prophet? That is the question pursued in an essay by B. Viviano, "The Dogma of the Prophetless Time in Judaism: Does Prophecy Cease with Christ for Christians? Some Explorations," L'écrit et l'esprit (2005) 418-31. For yet another take on this question, see the essay by Joseph Blenkinsopp, "We Pay No Heed to Heavenly Voices: The 'End of Prophecy' and the Formation of the Canon," Biblical and Humane: A Festschrift for John F. Priest (1996) 19-31. Let's add one more voice to the debate and allow it to bring our reflection to a close for now. For the view that the earthly Jesus (Luke 4:16...

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
