Please Nairalanders, was there any Biblical record of prophets after Jesus Christ?

If No,why all the Prophets in this our Generation?

No good Bible scholar here to help out?

There were no more prophets after Jesus. And till today, there are non except impostors. However, there will be last two great prophets at the close of age, Revelation 11:3-12.

Matthew 21:33
“Hear another parable: There was a
certain landowner who planted a
vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug
a winepress in it and built a tower. And
he leased it to vinedressers and went
into a far country. 34 Now when vintage-
time drew near, he sent his servants to
the vinedressers, that they might receive
its fruit. 35 And the vine dressers took his
servants, beat one, killed one, and
stoned another. 36 Again he sent other
servants, more than the first, and they
did likewise to them. 37 Then LAST OF ALL HE SENT HIS SON TO THEM, saying, ‘They
will respect my son.’ 38 But when the
vinedressers saw the son, they said
among themselves, ‘This is the heir.
Come, let us kill him and seize his
inheritance.’

It is clear that the owner of the vineyard
is the Father, the vineyard is the nation
of Israel, the servants are the prophets
of the theocracy, the son is Christ, and
the wicked farmers are the generations
of the nation's leaders. Jesus is the last.

1. There are rightly no records of Prophets sent by God in the Land after Jesus Christ because as Jesus Christ made known to you before He died, John the Baptist was the last of the Prophets of YHWH. No others were sent by God of Israel after Him.

Additionally, after the last days had ended almost 1900 years ago, God put a seal on Prophets and Visions. So everyone who has since come to you claiming to be of Him have been nothing but liars and scammers in sheep's clothing.

Definitely.

Check out the story of Prophet Agabus in the book of Acts.

And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;

Luke 2 : 36.

There were many prophets during and after Jesus. But most of their prophecy weren't national as of old that is why, you didn't hear of them.

Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 1 Timothy 4: 14.

Timothy received a gift by prophecy which was delivered by a prophet.

sholay2011:
■ Definitely. Check out the story of Prophet Agabus in the book of Acts.

Agabus was not a Prophet sent from God to the people of Israel. Rather, because of the Prophet Joel's prophecy that in the Last days, God would pour out His spirit and make prophets of every young man and woman —sinners and non-sinners alike—in the land, Agabus, gained the gift of prophecy as well.

Indeed, Jesus Christ was the Last Prophet sent by God. As Jesus Christ said, John the Baptist was the last of the Old Law Prophets of God sent from God.

■ Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 1 Timothy 4: 14. Timothy received a gift by prophecy which was delivered by a prophet.

The gift of Prophecy was of God's Old Law of Moses - Numbers 12 vs 1 - 6. The same God said that in the last days, rather than send special men, He would pour out the gift of prophecy — visions and dreams — on all the young men and the young women in the land of Zion during the last days of His final Judgment against the Nation of Israel(and Judah). Timothy was a young man in the land of Zion at the time in question. That is why he got the gift as well.

Splinz:

This is not true! What John revealed in Revelations 11 are events pasts for us. Events that took place almost 1900 years ago. There are no prophets of Old coming.

What are you saying?

Acts 11:27-28: ²⁷ And in these days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch. ²⁸ Then one of them, named Agabus, stood up and showed by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine throughout all the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius Caesar.

Acts 21:10-11: ¹⁰ And as we stayed many days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. ¹¹ When he had come to us, he took Paul’s belt, bound his own hands and feet, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit, ‘So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’ ”

Agabus was a prophet.

The four daughters of Philip the Evangelist for example, had the gift of prophecy.

It is stated in that verse that the gift was given to him by prophecy through they laying of hands.

What most people who claim to believe don't realize is that God's original plan had been to speak directly to the people of Israel Himself. But the people, too afraid, demanded that Moses speak to them on behalf of God instead.

18 During all this time, the people in the valley heard the thundering and saw the lightning on the mountain. They saw smoke rising from the mountain and heard the sound of the trumpet. They were afraid and shook with fear. They stood away from the mountain and watched.
19 Then the people said to Moses, “If you want to speak to us, then we will listen. But please don’t let God speak to us. If this happens, we will die.”
20 Then Moses said to them, “Don’t be afraid! God has come to test you. He wants you to respect him so that you will not sin.”
21 The people stood far away from the mountain while Moses went to the dark cloud where God was.
22 Then the Lord told Moses to say this to the Israelites: “You people have seen that I talked with you from heaven. - Exodus 20 vs 18 - 22

It is for this reason that God of Israel, YHWH, set up His system of Prophets.

1. The God of Israel, YHWH, is the one who instituted the Prophet's system as part of His Old Law of Moses

The Lord heard this.
3 (Moses was a very humble man. He was more humble than any other man on earth.)
4 So suddenly, the Lord came and spoke to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. He said, “You three, come to the Meeting Tent, now!”
So Moses, Aaron, and Miriam went to the Tent.
5 The Lord came down in the tall cloud and stood at the entrance to the Tent. He called out, “Aaron and Miriam!” They went to him.
6 God said, “Listen to me! You will have prophets. I, the Lord, will let them learn about me through visions. I will speak to them in dreams. - Numbers 12 vs 1 -6

2. The same God of Israel announced through Daniel that before the end of Last Days — the conclusion of His Judgment against the Nation of Israel(and Judah), He would bring to an end the time of the Prophets and visions.

24 “God has allowed 70 weeks for your people and your holy city, Daniel. The 70 weeks are ordered for these reasons: to stop doing bad things, to stop sinning, to make people pure, to bring the goodness that continues forever, to put a seal on visions and prophets , and to dedicate a very holy place. - Daniel 9 vs 24

3. The same God of Israel, YHWH, announced through the prophet Joel that before the end of the Last Days, He would pour out His Spirit on all young men and women in the land of Zion.

28 “After this, I will pour out my Spirit on all kinds of people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will have dreams, and your young men will see visions.
29 In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on servants, both men and women.
30 I will work wonders in the sky and on the earth. There will be blood, fire, and thick smoke.
31 The sun will be changed into darkness, and the moon will be as red as blood. Then the great and fearful day of the Lord will come!
32 And everyone who trusts in the Lord will be saved. There will be survivors on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, just as the Lord said. Yes, those left alive will be the ones the Lord has called. - Joel 2 vs 28 - 32

Jesus Christ was the last prophet sent by God to the people of Israel as this is noted both in the parable spoken by Jesus Christ Himself. John the Baptist was the last of the Old Covenant prophets sent by the God of Israel. Jesus Christ confirmed this Himself. All the other prophets that came after those two are a result of God pouring out His Spirit on all of the daughters and sons of Zion in the land during the same generation that the disciples lived in. This all took place about 1900 years ago.

The Prophecy stated by the prophet Joel in Joel 2 revealed that every young man and young woman in the land of Zion during the last days would become a prophet— young men see visions and young women see dreams, same as prophets before their time. Is that not a prophecy by which the gift of prophecy was received by all at that time?

Your response is just not making sense.

The same Jesus that gave His body apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers abi?

It's interesting you pulled verses from the Old Testament and could not counter what I stated.

The role of a prophet in the Old testament (where they carried great authority) is clearly different from their role in the New testament (which was why despite Agabus prophesying to Paul in Acts 21 regarding what could happen if he went to Jerusalem, Paul still went ahead to Jerusalem). In the New testament, prophecy is no longer our primary source for direction and guidance, since as children of God we can be led by the Holy Spirit. Rather, it should be for confirmation but God still uses it in areas of direction, especially when it has to do with things of larger scope (that is, not limited to individuals, like Agabus prophesying about a famine in Judea in Acts 11).

1 Corinthians 14:3 says But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.

Once again, prophets in the New Testament:
Acts 13:1: Now in the church that was at Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

So, @Kobojunkie, are you born again?

1. Jesus Christ NEVER did any of what you claim there. He sent His followers out as apostles, not as prophets or pastors or teachers(evangelists). He said He alone was Teacher -Matthew 23 vs 8 - 10 -, Prophet(He said He was the last sent by God), and Shepherd(Pastor) - John 10 vs 7 - 16 - to His flock. So, was Jesus Christ nothing but a liar?

2. I am not certain what you mean I could not counter. According to the book of Numbers - Numbers 12 vs 1 - 6, a Prophet is anyone whom God spoke to through dreams and visions. What do you mean by differences in roles?

3. But Jesus Christ, the one who is Himself the New Testament, NEVER instituted prophecy or the gift thereof to any of HIs followers. The only signs to follow every one of His followers are as outlined in Mark 16 vs 17 - 19 and it doesn't include prophecy — dreaming of dreams and seeing visions. So, where does this idea of yours come from since it does not come from the Gospel as given by Jesus Christ Himself?

4. Again, this idea of Prophets you have in the New testament is missing from the Gospel(New Testament) of Jesus Christ. Ever wondered why?

REPENT

sholay2011:
REPENT

Here's my direct challenge to you.
● Read through the Gospel of Jesus Christ and show us exactly where Jesus Christ, in His Words, said He would send His apostles out as Pastors, Prophets, and Teachers(Evangelists).
● Next, in the Words of Jesus Christ, show where it is written that the Apostles of Jesus Christ will dream dreams and see visions given to them by Jesus Christ.
● After that, Show where Jesus Christ, informed His disciples/apostles that He would send them prophecies and whatnot as part of His agreement — New Testament —with them. I would very much like to read your discovery.

Kobojunkie:
The Prophecy stated by the prophet Joel in Joel 2 revealed that every young man and young woman in the land of Zion during the last days would become a prophet— young men see visions and young women see dreams, same as prophets before their time. Is that not a prophecy by which the gift of prophecy was received by all at that time?

Was Timothy in the last days? Who is in the last day?

The person that prayed for Timothy, was he a young man?

Do you know what it means to give a gift by prophecy by the laying of hands?

Many prophets existed in the time of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Elijah, Elisha but only few the bible mentioned. Do you know why?

Yes! Timothy and everyone who lived during the generation that Jesus Christ spoke lived the Last Days of God of Israel's Judgement against the Nation of Israel(and Judah) in the land of Canaan by His Law of Moses.

32 “The fig tree teaches us a lesson: When its branches become green and soft, and new leaves begin to grow, then you know that summer is very near.
33 In the same way, when you see all these things happening, you will know that the time[d] is very near, already present.
34 I assure you that all these things will happen while some of the people of this time are still living.
35 The whole world, earth and sky, will be destroyed, but my words will last forever. - Matthew 24 vs 32 - 35

...

30 I assure you that all these things will happen while some of the people of this time are still living.
31 The whole world, earth and sky, will be destroyed, but my words will last forever. - Mark 13 vs 30 - 31

...

29 Then Jesus told this story: “Look at all the trees. The fig tree is a good example.
30 When it turns green, you know that summer is very near.
31 In the same way, when you see all these things happening, you will know that God’s kingdom is very near.
32 “I assure you that all these things will happen while some of the people of this time are still living.
33 The whole world, earth and sky, will be destroyed, but my words will last forever. - Luke 21 vs 29 - 33

So, do you not believe what Jesus Christ said of the time in question?

2. Where do you get that someone prayed for Timothy? Where in the letter is that claim of yours taken from?

3. Yes, I already explained it to you and Peter announced this to all on the night of Pentecost but you seem to think it all has to go according to your church rituals and not as written is written in Scripture.

4. Yes, but what has that to do with this here discussion given we are instead referring to a time when those in the land, many of who were sinners/unholy— they were all unholy and unrighteous, including your Paul — were granted dreams and visions as prophets of old were by the God of Israel.

The OP is a lazy Bible student. He should just type prophet in New Testament. They are in Acts of Apostles - The summary of the apostles' works and impacts.

Yes prophets gathered to pray with other apostles and evangelist for Paul and Barnabas when God wanted them separated for His work. Prophet Agabus was another example. He prophesied Paul ordeal in Jerusalem.

■ Yes prophets gathered to pray with other apostles and evangelist for Paul and Barnabas when God wanted them separated for His work. Prophet Agabus was another example. He prophesied Paul ordeal in Jerusalem.

Did Paul pay heed to the warnings given him by the many prophets of those days including Agabus'? Ever wonder why?

Those who believe that God of Israel sent prophets into the vineyard even after He had sent His own Son who was done away with by the farmers are actually of the belief that Jesus Christ lied and so did His Father, the God of Israel.
