A Prophet of the new testament, specially so called, 1is a person, who by divine instinct, and through special revelation of the holy ghost, doth certainly foresee and foreshow things to come; As were the Apostles & Agabus, Acts. 11.28. & cap. 21.11. and the Disciples, telling Paul through the spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem, Acts. 21.4. &c. A Prophet of the new Testament, in general, is called any, whosoever hath the gift of understanding, expounding and applying the Prophecies and writings of the Prophets, who are properly so called, to the present use of the church. So is this word used. 1. Cor. 14.3.4.5.29. This function & gift of prophesying, that is, of expounding & applying the Scriptures of the Prophets and Apostles to the use of the Church, is at all times necessary: That other, of foretelling things to come, not so: and therefore is it but temporary, and for a time.
