Why would God give prophets in the Old Testament and not today?
“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 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” (Hebrews 1:1-2). The Bible teaches that Jesus is to be considered a prophet (e.g., Luke 24:19). Certainly He is more than a prophet, but He is at least a prophet. He “is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Heb. 13:8), and since He lives forevermore (Heb. 7:24), He is still our Prophet today. Some LDS wonder if traditional Christianity is true, then why would God love the people in the Old Testament more by giving them prophets and not us today? Actually, who God loves more is not the issue. The issue is instead the unfolding of God’s program in His timing. LDS must recognize this, since even they think there are benefits today that the Old Testaments saints did not experience. For example, LDS think there are benefits of black men having the priesthood toda
