First up today, let's go to Ed from Missouri. Hi, Ed. What's your question for Adrile?

Hey, hey, how are you doing? Doing well, Ed. Thanks for giving us a call.

Hey, here's my question. And Amos 3.7 and says, surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he reveal his secrets

unto his servants to prophets. So the question is, if God decided to raise up a prophet in these

the last days, could he do that and still be within his rights?

Ed, thanks for that question.

We believe that God can do whatever he wants, right?

I mean, God is God is God.

The question is, what is God doing ordinarily today?

And what was the role in function of prophecy throughout scripture.

If you're asking, would God raise up another Ezekiel or Jeremiah or Isaiah today?

I would say that the answer is very clearly no, because those Old Testament prophets were a part of the theocracy in

Israel. The theocracy in Israel, Israel is this political body in covenant with God called to obey

the Lord and when they wouldn't, God would raise up prophets calling them to repentance and often

calling the nations around Israel to repentance as well.
