Prophets of the New Testament

Most readers of the Bible associate the prophets, as messengers of God, with the Old Testament. God sent them to encourage the Israelites to follow His commandments-or reprimand them when they didn't. And some of them made predictions about the future-that God would send a Savior-the Messiah-to save humanity from its sinfulness and usher in the Kingdom of God.
But what about the New Testament? Yes, we know so much about the Twelve Apostles and their central place in the ministry of Jesus, but were there prophets in the New Testament as well? Turns out that there were quite a few, and the roles they played may have been much more multifaceted than serving only as messengers. Are you familiar with Anna and Agabus? How about Silas, Manaen and Lucius? The list goes on and on-and these prophets (and the roles they played) may be one of the best kept secrets in the New Testament! So take a look at what these unsung hand-picked servants of the Lord have to offer!
