God sent many prophets to Israel, but Jesus Christ is the perfection and the fullness of Divine revelation, hence his title: The Word of God (Revelation 19:13). God has nothing else to say to Israel or to the world. Prophet were mere men, who received visions andmessagesfrom the Lord, then relayed thosemessagesto the people, but the Lord Jesus Christ was himself the incarnation of the Divine message,the Word was made flesh (John 1:14), everything he ever said or did and even the way he said or did it was a revelation of God's mind, heart andcharacterJohn 14:9 "Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?"
Hebrews 1:1-3 "God, having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners, hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds; who being the effulgence of his glory, and the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high"

And the prophetesses: Sarah, Miriam, Deborah, Hannah, Avigail, Huldah, Esther.
See the list below.
The Israelite prophets were extremely learned and pious individuals, both men and women, whose superlative level of piety merited them with visions from God. They had to be humble, yet speak with authority. They had to love their people, yet not hesitate to rebuke with caustic words if commanded to by God.
The prophets were called upon by God to guide the people and to guide the king. While the king had authority in national matters of state, and the Sanhedrin (Sages) had say in Torah-rulings and halakha (law), the prophets spoke in matters of ethics, of belief, of loyalty to God, and behavior. They rebuked the people at God's command, they predicted events which God revealed to them, they taught through Divine inspiration, and they provided optimism and hope with the prophecies of eventual Redemption.
Some of the prophetical chapters (or books) detail Israelite history and past events, some exhort the people to improve their spiritual level, some predict events and/or warn (especially concerning the First Destruction), some serve to comfort the nation, some speak of prayer and love of God, and some speak of life, experience and wisdom.
The Hebrew Bible mentions fifty-five by name because of their importance. There were many others (Talmud, Megillah 14a), but those others were not commanded to record their prophecy.

There are many - before the splitting of the kingdom and afterwards. Perhaps the most influencial if that was possible was Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel during the captivities. Yet former and minor have just as vital a message for all Israel and all humanity.
