This statement suggests that God has a
desire to communicate with and to guide us. Apart from direct
inspiration, prophets have been the
vehicle for this, the theory being that if God Himself were to
communicate directly with all of us it would constitute a "judgment"
for most of us.
There are many
prophets in the Old Testament. Yet, it seems odd that there are none
to be found in the times after the New Testament. Evil has certainly grown since
the crucifixion of Christ and one
might think that the Heavenly Father would have sent some one to comfort and
prepare His children before the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
This is not implausible but, those who would be called upon to recognize
the authenticity of whether someone is or is not a prophet would not be
qualified themselves to conclude this. And, none have been recognized by
present day churches except for the ones that they have spawned.
In some Christian denominations
prophets are elected by other men rather than being appointed by God
although they see this as one and the same. Others claim to have
apostles heading their organizations. According to the Bible the
Apostles were chosen by Christ. They could heal the sick and raise the
dead. These latter day elected apostles are usually on pharmaceutical
medications. If they can not even heal themselves, how can they be
expected to heal others - let alone raise the dead. It is not hard to
draw simple conclusions under these circumstances.
The Truth,
according to the New Revelation there has been a prophet sent to the
Christian world every 100 years or so since the crucifixion of Christ.
These men are never affiliated with any particular Christian religious
sect. They simply reaffirmed Christian teachings in varying degrees of
detail and depth. They were always persecuted by those in higher
positions of power within Christian society. Some died in prison or in
exile. All were ostracized to some extent. Yet, their works survive; only after their deaths have their works
been recognized by relatively few deserving individuals.
It should also be
mentioned that if there are true prophets, then there are, and there must
also have been many false prophets. To find out more about how to

Jakob Lorber is
believed by many to have been one of the latest and perhaps one of the
greatest prophets, who's works describe everything within God's
creation, human existence on every level, the actual consequence of sin
and the purpose of Christ's first and second coming.
