Q152: WHAT DOES HEBREWS 1:1-2 MEAN? Does This Mean That There Will Be No Prophets In The Last Days?



Hi Lope!

I have 3 questions:
  1. Does Hebrews 1:1-2 Scriptures mean that there will be no prophets in the last days?  
  2. Also Proverbs 13:24, Proverbs 23:13-14, Proverbs 29:15: Do these verses mean teaching the Torah or spanking? For the answer to this question, go to: Q740. For more detailed answer, go to: Q153
  3. And we also wanted to know about the book of Thomas and Shepherd of Heramas; are they like the book of 6th and 7th book of Moses? 
Thank You so much!!

Thanks, Lola for your questions. Let me answer first your first question. My answers are also intended for everyone else.

QUESTION. Does Hebrews 1:1-2 Scriptures mean that there will be no prophets in the last days?
ANSWER. Hebrews 1:1-2 says that God the Father has different and manifold ways and manners of communicating Himself and His will to Mankind throughout human history. 
  • God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the Fathers by the Prophets,  (Heb 1:1 KJV)
In the Old Testament times, God revealed Himself and His Will in a scattered or de-centralized way using His many chosen Prophets. And He did this by different methods, such as, by dreams, visions, personal appearance, audible voice, via angelic messengers, etc. 
THERE WILL BE PROPHETS STILL IN THE LAST DAYS; EVEN GREATER PROPHETS THAN THE OLD TESTAMENT BECAUSE THE GREATEST PROPHET (CHRIST) IS THEIR TEACHER AND RABBI!

In the New Testament times, God the Father communicates His Will in a centralized way via His only begotten Son, who is Jesus Christ -- the GREAT PROPHET of Mankind that is prophesied to appear (Deuteronomy 18:15). And Christ fulfilled this Old Testament prophecy of Moses in the New Testament (John 6:14, Matthew 5:17, Acts 3:22 and 7:37, Revelation 1:1). 
  • Don't think that I came to destroy the Torah (Law) or the Prophets. I DID NOT COME TO DESTROY, BUT TO FULFILL.  (Mat 5:17 HNV)
  • Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed Heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds;  (Heb 1:2 KJV)
This new centralized way of God the Father's revelations and dealing with Mankind is clearly written in Revelation 1:1.
  • The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which GOD (THE FATHER) gave unto Him, to shew unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified it by His angel unto his servant John:  (Rev 1:1 KJV)
Here, the new process flow of God The Father's revelation is:

GOD The FATHER => JESUS CHRIST => Angel => Apostle John => Churches => Individual Christians and Jews

Jesus Christ -- the prophesied Great Prophet reveals God's greatest revelation of all time, which is God's Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom to End-Time God's Servants. Because of the greatness of this Prophet and His supernal revelations, the End-Time Servants of God are classified as greater Prophets than the Old Testament Prophets (Revelation 10:7, 22:9). 

In the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, THE [MESSIANIC KABBALAH] MYSTERY OF GOD should be FINISHED (EXECUTED), as He hath declared to His Servants the Prophets.  (Rev 10:7 KJV)
  • ... I am thy fellowservant, and of THY BRETHREN THE PROPHETS, and of them which keep the sayings of this book...  (Rev 22:9 KJV)
This means that there will be Prophets still in the New Testament, even Great Prophets, in our end-time generation; and they are those who listened to that Great Prophet of all time, who is Jesus Christ.

THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY

Every True Christian that has the testimony of Jesus Christ, which is the Spirit of Prophecy, is a Prophet.
  • ... He sent...it ...unto His Servant John:  (Rev 1:1 KJV)
  • Who bare record of the Word of God, and of the Testimony of Jesus Christ...  (Rev 1:2 KJV)
  • ... the Testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy.  (Rev 19:10 KJV)
LISTEN ONLY TO JESUS CHRIST! OTHERWISE, YOU WILL BE DESTROYED!
  • Moses said: The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from among your brothers. YOU MUST LISTEN TO HIM IN EVERYTHING He will say to you.  (Act 3:22)
Since God the Father is now using Christ as the central medium by which He deals with Mankind, everyone is told to listen ONLY to Christ (and to whoever Christ reveals the secret Mysteries of the Kingdom of God), and to no other (Acts 3:22)

But sadly, today, Billions of professing Christians listen more to their humanistic Pastors and Churches, instead of listening to the LORD Jesus Christ (Mark 7:7-8, Colossians 2:8, Matthew 15:8-9). These many Christians desired to be saved; but with there humanistic religions and Churches, they will be destroyed instead (Acts 3:23).
  • And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet (Christ) shall be destroyed from among the people. (Act 3:23 MKJV)
ALL THE OLD TESTAMENT LAWS AND PROPHECIES CONVERGED IN JESUS CHRIST!

Moses represents the LAW or TORAH, and Elijah represents the PROPHETS. These Old Testament Laws and Prophecies converged in the LORD Jesus Christ in the Transfiguration Event; wherein Moses and Elijah appeared with Jesus Christ and then they disappeared, with Jesus Christ left alone (Matthew 17:2-5, 8).
  • He was transfigured before them. And His face shone as the SUN, and His clothing was white as The LIGHT.  (Mat 17:2 MKJV)
  • Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. (Mat 17:3)
  • Then Peter said to Jesus... I will make three tabernacles here: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." (Mat 17:4) 
  • While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said: This is My beloved Son. I take delight in Him. Listen to Him!  (Mat 17:5)
  • When they looked up they saw no one except Him--Jesus ALONE. (Mat 17:8)
THE MYSTERY OF THE TRUE GOSPEL REVEALED = GOD'S MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM
  • To Him that is of power to stablish you according to my Gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the [Messianic Kabbalah] Mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,  (Rom 16:25 KJV)
  • But now is made manifest, and by the Scriptures of the Prophets, according to the Commandment of the Everlasting God, made known to all Nations for the obedience of Faith:  (Rom 16:26 KJV)
  • ...that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the [Messianic Kabbalah] Mystery of the Gospel, (Eph 6:19 KJV)  
The time of the End is the time of the revelation and preaching of the True Gospel, which is God's Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom (Matthew 24:14). Thus, in the End-Time, just before the glorious return of the King Messiah, God the Father revealed His greatest revelation of all time -- the revelation of His Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom, which is the True Gospel! 

The excellency of the True Gospel revelation is that it is the final, the finishing revelation, given forth in the last days of divine revelation, to which the LIGHT of God is to shine out Darkness (2Corinthians 4:6).

Messianic Kabbalah Wisdom is a revelation by God the Father making His Son the most excellent Messenger and Prophet that was ever sent into the world. Christ is far superior to all the ancient Patriarchs and Prophets, by whom God communicated His will in the Old Testament times. As the Apostle Paul said:
  • By reading this you are able to understand my insight about the [Messianic Kabbalah] Mystery of the Messiah.  (Eph 3:4)
  • This was not made known to people in other generations as IT IS NOW REVEALED TO HIS HOLY APOSTLES AND PROPHETS by the Spirit:  (Eph 3:5)
Now it is via Christ Himself that God the Father in these last days is dealing with Mankind. And, since the supernal stature and personality of Christ gives authority and excellency to the Messianic Kabbalah message, the preaching and prophecies of the True Gospel must therefore exceed, very far exceed, the Old Testament teachings and prophecies.
  • And he said unto me, THOU MUST PROPHESY AGAIN before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.  (Rev 10:11 KJV)
  • And THIS [MESSIANIC KABBALAH] GOSPEL of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all Nations; and then shall the End come.  (Mat 24:14 KJV)
Therefore, I say to all: Don't be a mocker that is prophesied to appear in the End-Time (Jude 1:18). Instead, desire prophecy, especially God's Messianic Kabbalah prophecies; and become one of God's blessed Prophets!
  • Pursue love and desire spiritual gifts, and above all that you may prophesy.  (1Cor 14:1)
  • Despise not prophesyings.  (1Thes 5:20 KJV)
  • Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the Prophecy of this Book.  (Rev 22:7 KJV)
