So all the stuff in the gospels before that happened, was really still Old Covenant, not New. Therefore, John the Baptist was the LAST Old Testament prophet. He came at the end of 400 years of silence and proclaimed Jesus. That wasn't even his main point, but it just kind of threw me; I'd never thought of it that way. Am I the only one???

Where have you been Sherri? (TIC) I posted that in post # 11 of Thread: Tithing, Is it a command , in Deep Waters.
Actually, Jesus was the last OT prophet. He called Himself a prophet in the synagoge at Nazereth, when He said, "A prophet is not without honor...".
