And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”2 Peter 1:19–21We also have the word of the prophets as confirmed beyond doubt. And you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.1 Peter 1:10–12Concerning this salvation, the prophets who foretold the grace to come to you searched and investigated carefully,Luke 24:44Jesus said to them, “These are the words I spoke to you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.”Revelation 19:10So I fell at his feet to worship him. But he told me, “Do not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who rely on the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”Acts 3:24–26Indeed, all the prophets from Samuel on, as many as have spoken, have proclaimed these days.Ephesians 2:20built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone.Acts 3:18But in this way God has fulfilled what He foretold through all the prophets, saying that His Christ would suffer.Acts 10:43All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”Acts 3:21Heaven must take Him in until the time comes for the restoration of all things, which God announced long ago through His holy prophets.Acts 28:23So they set a day to meet with Paul, and many people came to the place he was staying. He expounded to them from morning to evening, testifying about the kingdom of God and persuading them about Jesus from the Law of Moses and the Prophets.Luke 24:27And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself.
