Is prosper and multiply a command?
Yes.
The phrase uses imperative forms of the verb, which is how one gives a command in the English language.
A verb in imperative form uses the base form of the main verb, and is used without a subject.
E.g.
"Take a right then turn left."
"Prosper and multiply."
"Don't be afraid."
"Fetch me my drink."
