Prophets who did crazy things!

Isaiah walked naked and barefoot for three years:

"At that time the LORD spoke through Isaiah the son of Amos, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from your loins, and barefoot shoes from your feet And he did so, walking naked and barefoot..
And the Lord said: As my servant Isaiah has gone naked and barefoot three years. "
Isaiah 20: 2,3

Ezekiel made his food using firewood as cow poop and lay 390 days on his right side:

"Lie then on your left side and put you on the iniquity of the nation of Israel. You will have to bear the iniquity of it for the number of days you are lying on the left side.
I determined that the number of days is equal to the number of years of her iniquity, that is, for three hundred and ninety days you will bear the iniquity of the nation of Israel.
"After this period, lie on your right side, and charge the iniquity of the nation of Judah,"
Ezekiel 4: 4-6

15 "All right," he said, "I will let you bake your bread over cow dung ..."
Elijah wore the clothing (some say camel):

8 They said therefore to him: ". A man who had a the garment and leather belt girded about his loins" He immediately said, "That was Elijah the Tishbite."

Moses held out a stick over the Red Sea and said to everyone: It will open !:

16 "But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the sea, and divide it, so that the children of Israel to pass through the sea on dry ground."
13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: stand still and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will you; for the Egyptians you see today you, never will see forever.
14 The LORD shall fight for you, and you hold your peace. "

Elisha threw a piece of wood where an iron ax had fallen into the river and floated said:

6 And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, Behold, the place where we dwell with thee in is narrow. 2 Let us, then, to the Jordan, and take thence each one of us, a beam, and let us make us a place there, to live there. And he said, Go. 3 And one said you to go with thy servants. And I said, I will go. 4 And with them; and when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood. 5 And it came to pass, when he overthrew one a beam, the ax fell into the water; and he cried and said, Alas! My Lord! Because it was borrowed. 6 And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he showed him the place, he cut a stick and threw it there, and the iron did swim. 7 And he said, Arise it. Then he stretched out his hand and took him.

Summary of opera: be Prophet is being called crazy and mad. Being Prophet is being labeled out of series in the wrong direction. Being Prophet is to be totally dependent on God!
