The Seven Suffering Prophets

[Bob Impact]

Has anyone here ever heard of the "Seven Suffering Prophets"? I believe it's from the Kuballa. I'm not all that religious, nor am I Jewish, but this topic intrigues me. I know the basics but i was wondering if anyone else had more information on it.

7's the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 doors. 7, man, that's the number.

7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea.

It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby.

There is nothing more exhilerating than pointing out the shortcomings of others, is there?

I've heard of them...something like each of the prophets represents the different suffering in the world?

there are more than 7. I think there's 54 (thrice Chai) but i'm not sure. supposedly their destinys keep the world going, but they have no idea that they are chosen. Who knows you might be one of them.

Personally, i think the whole thing is a morality story to tell us that every life is sacred. You never know who the ones who are keeping the world afloat are, so best to show respect to everyone.

no, you're thinking of the Seven Dwarfs. He's talking about the Seven Surfing Prophets. I don't know much about the earlier ones, but the last one was Jeff Spicoli, who prophecized: "All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine."

In Jewish mythology, there are 36 people so rightous that the world is sustained in their merit. LOL.

Being one of these people and possessing $3.75 can get you a latte at Starbucks.

Personally, I prefer the seven samauri brothers. Each had a different specialty and were invulnerable to various things. A great classic so-bad-that-it's-good karate movie.

this sounds like the old children's book "the 5 chinese brothers" one could swallow the sea, one had an iron neck, one couldn't be burned, one had really long legs, and one couldn't be suffocated

That is perhaps, the funniest post EVER.
