Thank you for engaging with the teaching, but your reference to Luke 16:16 reflects a common misunderstanding of the text. Jesus stated, 'The Law and the Prophets were until John; since that time the kingdom of God has been preached.' He was marking a structural transition in redemptive history—declaring that the era where the Law and the prophetic writings alone foretold the coming Kingdom had shifted, and the actual reality of the Kingdom was now being proclaimed. He was not declaring that the prophetic office or prophetic utterance ceased.
If the prophetic ministry ended with John, we must ask: Why did the ascended Christ explicitly give gifts to the church, 'some apostles, and some prophets' (Ephesians 4:11)? Furthermore, why does the New Testament explicitly name and document multiple prophets after John the Baptist?
I encourage you to search the Scriptures—such as Agabus (Acts 11:28, 21:10), Judas and Silas (Acts 15:32), or the prophets and teachers at Antioch (Acts 13:1)—and study to show yourself approved unto God (2 Timothy 2:15) rather than relying on religious traditions that attempt to strip Christ's body of His governing leadership.
I tell the issue is the last prophet according in the bible book of Luke 16:16 but in the book of acts chapter 11 chapter 15 and 2 Timothy 2 that is not issue.
Wrong interpretation who is the last prophet?not John the Baptist it is John de beloved who writes the book of revelation not John the Baptist the last prophet mention in the Luke 16:16 it is prophet John de beloved.
Your claim introduces a major historical and scriptural error. The text in Luke 16:16 refers to John the Baptist, not John the Beloved (the Apostle John who wrote Revelation). John the Baptist was beheaded long before the Book of Revelation was ever written.
Furthermore, if your theory is that the prophetic office ended with John the Baptist, you must explain how the Apostle Paul—writing decades after John the Baptist's death—explicitly lists prophets as an active, foundational gift given by Christ to the church (Ephesians 4:11), and why multiple New Testament prophets (such as Agabus, Judas, and Silas) are actively ministering in the Book of Acts.
True biblical theology requires studying the entirety of the New Testament context, rather than building a doctrine on a misread sentence (2 Timothy 2:15).
A basic reading of historical and biblical chronology reveals the error: John the Baptist and John the Beloved (the Apostle John) are two entirely different individuals. Luke 16:16 speaks of John the Baptist. Furthermore, the New Testament explicitly records multiple active prophets after that time (such as Agabus, Judas, and Silas in the Book of Acts) and lists the prophetic office as ongoing in Ephesians 4:11. I encourage you to read the text carefully and study to show yourself approved (2 Timothy 2:15). We will leave it there.
Prophet's until John only not biblical if prophets exist until now.
