I mispoke here. What I was trying to say was that after Jesus won the Victory over hell, death and the grave, after He sent down "the Comforter" and returned to His throne; our situation and station as followers of Jesus made all of us prophets, priests and kings.

No longer was there any exclusive official office in the Judeo-Christian family for a "Prophet" as there had been for the Jewish leaders of Israel and Judah. No mortal man will be "the Prophet" holding the office as the sloe prophet leading the way.

IN TERMS OF

SOLE PROPHET LEADING THE WAY, I’d agree.

However, Paul is quite clear . . .

some folks are called,

IN THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH ERA WE ARE STILL IN . . .

to the OFFICES of

Apostle
Pastor
Teacher
Prophet
Evangelist

WHILE ALL OF US ARE PART OF THE PRIESTHOOD of the believers . . .

in which roles . . . there are no Jews, Greeks, Masters, Slaves, males, Females . . .

All are equal before The Cross.
