Nowhere in the Bible does it say that He would do away with prophets, your interpretation of the words, “It is finished,” notwithstanding.

Huh?

Do you think we know NOTHING of THESE verses?

 
 
KJV 1 Corinthians 12:28-31
 28.  And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
 29.  Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
 30.  Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
 31.  But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
 
KJV 1 Corinthians 14:29
   Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
 
KJV Ephesians 4:11
   And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
 
KJV 1 Corinthians 14:32-33
 32.  And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
 33.  For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
 
KJV 1 Corinthians 14:37-38
 37.  If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
 38.  But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
 
And Joseph Smith, ETAL, were warned about here:
 
 
KJV 2 Peter 2:1
  But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
 
KJV 1 John 4:1
  Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Sure. I know those verses. They are describing what would exist in His church. We have them. Do you?

And, yes, there can be false prophets. But that very verse suggests that there will also be true prophets. It certainly doesn’t say there will be no prophets.
