GOD'S WORD INDICATES THAT A PROPHET SHOULD COME.
The Bible is a record of God's dealings with His prophets in past ages. It shows that He always raised up such men whenever He intended to perform any special work among mankind. One of the ancient prophets declared:
Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret to his servants the prophets." (Amos 3: 7)
The whole book of divine scripture confirms these words of Amos. Whenever it mentions an important event in the world's history it speaks of a prophet in connection with it.
