Notice the prophet said from this time, there will be no more prophets.  They will pass out of the land.

In the NT, we are not to say, I am a prophet nor look for prophets any more.  We are to be husbandmen over sheep.

The Word of God has all already been written.  No prophets will ever come forth anymore giving out the Word in that manner.

Now we are all just to teach what is already given.

NT prophets is only a gift of showing something for the immediate time at hand.  They told Paul he would be killed if he went up to Jerusalem.

They told of coming droughts.  etc.

There are no OT prophets now.

Many times people hear something, which sounds unfamilar to them.  They just misjudge it on the spot instead of checking it out.  With God, these things are too important for this kind of attitude.

Because too many times one does not have enough understanding to really get what a person is saying. The right way is to be willing to discuss it with each other.  Use the Word and prove a thing or disprove a thing....but do not just assume that because you do not already know it, that it is false.

Now back to the above Scripture:

The prophets were one of the OT shepherds.  Those very shepherds were the ones who led God's people astray.  It is the same today.

The pastors are the very ones who lead people astray.  God said so.

the prophets are part of the OT way.  This way is not of God.  It is not pleasing to God.  He did away with it.

So he put the prophets into darkness.  They now have no vision from God.  The sun went down over the prophets.  This means they now have nothing with God.  He gives them no light, no visions, no answer.

So anything a prophet prophecies will be lies. This is precisely why all the so-called 'prophets' of today are teaching nothing but lies.  They are in darkness.

God is saying anyone who wishes to be or have a prophet today will be ashamed, for He is not with them.  They can receive no answer from God since Jesus came on this earth.

See the last verse is Jesus speaking in prophecy.  Jesus is the one saying,  "I am full of the spirit and power".

Since Jesus, there can be no more prophets.  ( I am not speaking of the people with the gift of prophecy in the NT.  It is totally different.)  They do not give people the Word of God as the OT Prophets did.

for:

<NOBR>Heb 1:1</NOBR>	God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
<NOBR>Heb 1:2</NOBR>	Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

See, this says that God spoke in time past  = OT days,  by the prohets.  But he speaks to us now by his Son.

So to claim prophets in our day is to deny Jesus or to seek to go back to the law and therefore Jesus is of no effect to you.

God will never leave off speaking by his Son and go back to speaking again by the prophets.  God does not go back and forth.  When he is finished with a thing, it is FOREVER.

He will never bring up prophets again.  He has given us ALL THE WORD OF GOD TO STUDY.  We must not sit around now, hoping for some prophet to show up and tell us God's Word.

We are commanded to study the Word for ourselves.  Search the Scriptures yourself.  Else you will not have salvation.  Prophets cannot do it for you.  You must do it yourself.

God has given us the Scriptrues,  revealed by Jesus,  and that is all we will every receive as His Word.  No more prophets speaking God's word in that manner.

John the Baptist was the last, for then Jesus came and since then,  We are ALL PRIEST AND KINGS WITH GOD.   all ,  all,  all   of  us,  Christians.  We are all ONE.

I hope you study this and allow God to show you the truth.

Again, thanks for asking.  May God richly bless you and reveal truth to you.  at least, you had the decency to ask and not just call it a lie.  God will never deal with that kind of person.  That is what the Word calls closing your own eyes and ears.  God will leave those kind of people in hell.

That is how everything is proven with God.  I have already given you more than the needed two or three, but here is another prophet of God, (a true prophet, Isaiah)  telling us the very same thing.  Notice how he takes it to the time of the NT that he cuts off the prophets:

Verse nine shows the Day of Pentecost, as they were acting as if drunk by the Holy Ghost,,,,,so this shows that in prophecy, this is the time it is speaking of:

God is talking to the OT people here.  He is telling them they are now cut off, because the NT has come. 

 He said when this time is here (them staggering in the Spirit)--  this is when he pours that deep sleep upon those who reject this new move of God.  He then COVERED THE SEERS AND PROPHETS, THEIR RULERS.

HE COVERED THEM;  PLACED THEM INTO DARKNESS FOREVER.  THEY ARE NO MORE!  The day is dark over them.  The sun went down over the prophets.  glory to God.  We may all now go to God for ourselves!

Do you realize that if God still used those prophets, then we could not go to God for ourselves.

Come boldly to the throne of God..........YOURSELF.  You need no prophet, except JESUS.

<NOBR>Eze 22:25</NOBR>	There is a conspiracy of her PROPHETS in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.
<NOBR>Eze 22:28</NOBR>	And her PROPHETS have daubed them with untempered mortar, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.

Not once was they called by  the name of prophet.  It only mentioned that there were some prophets.

These are not the same as what the world calls PROPHETS.

People are STILL looking for God to send a PROPHET TO STRAIGHTEN THINGS OUT......TO GIVE THEM THE WORD OF GOD......TO SHOW THEM POWER....TO PRONOUNCE VICTORY FOR THEM. to deliver them .ETC.

IT IS NOT EVER GOING TO BE.  God gave us his Word, and we are ALL commanded to study it daily and learn, and pray at all times and we are going to God for ourselves.  We are responsible to get into the Word and feed ourselves.  We are responsible to learn and teach others,  to deliver and heal and give out prophecies for others.

We are not going to be deliverd by someone else's labor. we all must labor ourselves.

(and can you believe that some folks accuse me of SINNING when I use capital letters for Accent?)  My my,  such ignorance.

People cannot 'hear' each other here.....so I use caps and larger letters and color for emphasis. and I do not care how many foolish people call it wrong.  That is sooooooo  silly!

Listen,  the OT prophets are connected with the law.  It is said,  the law and prophets.  This ALWAYS REFERS TO  OT Prophets, by which God spoke to people.

God does not speak to us now by prophets.  He said in these last days, he speaks to us by his son.  not prophets.

The NT prophets are always listed with the Apostles.  it says,  the Apostles and prophets.  They are not the law and the prophets.

Now don't go telling me you already knew this!

Show me where one NT prophet called themselves a PROPHET.  Then  and only  then   call me a lie!

Neither one, Jazz.  Which ones do you have or are you?  Which ones does your church have and exercise?

God said he has given the manifestation of the Spirit to all to profit withal.  Which one do you and your church have?

I have exercised all of them at some time.  As far as the five ministeries,  I only consider myself to be a teacher.
