Prophets in the Old Testament and Today
In the Old Testament, prophets had a specific function in Israel, bringing God's message to the nation and calling them to repentance. However, the office of prophet was closely associated with the theocratic kingdom of Israel and is not present in the same way today. While the New Testament mentions the gift of prophecy, it doesn't indicate the existence of the office of prophet. Instead, Jesus is considered the ultimate prophet, revealing God's will for our salvation. Therefore, while individuals may speak providential words of wisdom, the office of prophet as in the Old Testament is not present today.
