DOES JESUS APPOINT PROPHETS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT ERA??
Ephesians 4:11-16 �It was He {Jesus} who gave some to be *PROPHETS*, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. Instead speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Him who is the Head, that is, Christ. From Him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.�
I Corinthians 12:28-29,31: In the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second *PROPHETS*, third teachers...Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers?...but eagerly desire the greater gifts.�
I Corinthians 14:1: Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of *PROPHECY*.
Romans 12:6: �We have different gifts. If a man's gift is *PROPHESYING let him use it in proportion to his faith.�
2 Peter 1:20,21: Above all, you must understand that no *PROPHECY* of Scripture came about by the *PROPHET'S own interpretation. For *PROPHECY* never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.�
I Thessalonians 5:20,21: �Do not treat *PROPHECIES with contempt. *TEST EVERYTHING {With the Word of God!}. Hold onto the good.
Matthew 10:41: Jesus says, �Anyone who receives a *PROPHET because he is a *PROPHET will receive a *PROPHET'S reward.�
**THE PROPHECIES IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION**
Revelation 1:3: �Blessed is the one who reads the Words of this *PROPHECY*, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it!�
Revelation 3:14: Jesus says, �These are the Words {All of *PROPHECIES* Revelation} of the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Ruler of God's creation!�
Revelation 22:9,10: The angel said to John, �I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the *PROPHETS and all who keep the Words of this Book!� Then he told me, �Do not seal up the Words of the *PROPHECY of this Book!�
*PROPHETS are mentioned 8 times in Revelation; whereas, pastors and teachers are not even mentioned once. God's 2 Tribulation witnesses are called prophets in Rev11:10 and *PROPHETS are also mentioned in Revelation 10:7; 11:18; 16:6;18:20,24; 22:6,9.
Revelation 22:7,12,13,16,18,19: Jesus says, �Behold I am coming soon. Blessed is he who keeps the Words of the *PROPHECY in this Book...Behold, I am coming soon. My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done... I am the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End....I, Jesus have sent My angel to give *YOU {�You� here is Plural} this testimony {All of Revelation} **FOR THE CHURCHES**!!.... I warn everyone who hears the Words of the *PROPHECY of this Book: If anyone **ADDS** anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book {Including eternal Hell} And if any one **TAKES WORDS AWAY** from this Book of *PROPHECY*, God will take away from him his share in the Tree of Life and in the Holy City {The New Jerusalem}, which are described in this Book!�
