"....the warning coming from present-day prophets.."

I hate to break it to you, but there are no "present day" prophets.

"In many and various ways God spoke of old to our fathers by the prophets; but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son...". [Heb. 1:1-2]

God's speaking to us by his Son is the culmination of his speaking to mankind and is his greatest and final revelation to mankind.

(The exceptional greatness of the revelation that comes through the Son, far exceeds any revelation in the Old Covenant as noted over and over again in the first and second chapters of Hebrews.)

Once the writings of the New Testament apostles and their authorized companions were completed, we have everything that God wants us to know about the life, death, & resurrection of Christ, and its meaning for the lives of believers for all time.

All of the prophecies in the OT pointed to Christ. Jesus says so Himself.

“Beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he [Jesus] expounded unto them in all the Scripture the things concerning himself.” (Luke 24:24; cf. Rom. 1:2)

“All things must be fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me” ~ Jesus

Thank you for pointing me to Christ our savior.

It is the Holy Spirit of Jesus which speaks through many today, it's not mystical or demonic. A wisper here or a word from the Bible there that jumps off the page which brings forth revelation is spoken out for His glory and for the changing of hearts.

Ephesians 4:11 says, "And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers (12) for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ."

I will pray for an abundance of blessing for you and those you love, I thank you for caring enough to post to me. By our love they shall know us.
