Prophet so and Mrs Cleo are beginning to sound the same these days.
There are two types of prophesy. The most common form is the prophet of the old testament. Those guys were mostly wound up in the prophet/king relationship. If you have a king, you need a prophet to keep him straight. These guys did not predict the future. They said what they said in order to motivate the people who heard them, mostly the king, to change. The two most common themes were: 1) stay loyal to the one and only God and 2) help the poor.
The other type of prophet is the type which predicts the future. These types are rare, and frequently apocalyptic, mostly misunderstood.

Can you give and example of an Old Testament prophet saying help the poor. I'm not saying your wrong, just I can't find an example of it.

90% or more of the ones I hear come true.
However, we can't expect prophetic words to be 100% correct. No more than we can expect sermons or teachings to be correct 100%. Of course, some study Scriptures, pray, etc.
