In Christianity, the last prophet of the [[Old Covenant]] before the arrival of Jesus is [[John the Baptist]] (cf. {{Bibleverse|Luke|16:16|KJV}}).<ref name="MacArthur2006">{{cite book |author=[[John F.

What does that mean? Cessationism is the belief that the signs and wonders of the New Testament Church—the extraordinary spiritual gifts (charisms) like tongues, prophecy, or healing—were only intended for a time and ceased to be present in the Church after that period of time had elapsed. Continuationism, on the other hand, is the belief that the signs and wonders of the early Church have continued.}}</ref>
The book of Revelation in the very last days during the Tribulation period states that two prophets, (many believe one to be Elijah because of the book of Malachi stating his return at the end), will return to earth and inform the world of what's happening and pour out some of God's judgments.
