Where Have All The Prophets Gone?

Many Christians today struggle to understand biblical prophecy, caught between churches that ignore the Holy Spirit and those that attribute everything to spiritual activity. Old Testament prophets delivered God's exact words with ultimate authority, but Jesus changed everything by becoming God's final revelation. New Testament prophecy focuses on strengthening, encouraging, and comforting believers rather than adding to Scripture. Modern prophecy often appears as Spirit-prompted encouragement, timely wisdom, or burdens to pray for others. All prophetic words must be tested against Scripture, examined for whether they exalt Jesus, evaluated by their fruit, and held accountable to truth.
