Christ established in his Church, first apostles, secondarily prophets. The foundation of Christ's Church was on apostles and prophets. Living Prophets is biblical standard. The Lord was to speak to his prophets. Where there is no vision the people perish.
Young men are to see visions and old men to dream dreams.
The Lord will speak through his prophets. A messenger is to come to the Lord's temple. I send unto you prophets. A prophet is to be raised up like unto Moses. An angel was to bring back the gospel.
