 Orthodoxy teaches that John the Baptist (also known as John the Forerunner) was the last of the prophets, thus tightly linking the period of prophecy in the Old Testament with [[Jesus Christ|Jesus]], who delivered the fullness or fulfillment of the law.

		+	According to Deuteronomy 18:21-22, one should judge a prophet by checking whether his predictions come true. Likewise, in the [[New Testament]] Christ warned against false prophets and said that one should judge a prophet by his fruits. From ([[Gospel of Matthew\|Matthew]] 7):
		+	:''Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.''
		+	:''Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?''
		+	:''Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.''
		+	:''A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.''
		+	:''Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.''
		+	:''Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.''{{ref\|1}}
		+
		+	Sts. [[Apostle Peter\|Peter]] and [[Apostle Paul\|Paul]] also enjoin the faithful to beware of "false prophets" (i.e. heretics) repeatedly in their epistles. See [[2 Peter]] 2 and [[Acts of the Apostles\|Acts]] 20:28 in particular.

 ==[[Old Testament]] Prophecy==
-The word ''prophet'' itself derives from the Greeks, who used the word π�?οφήτης to refer to an interpreter or spokesperson of a deity, who "utters forth." In Hebrew, however, the word traditionally translated as prophet ''nevi'', which likely means "proclaimer." The meaning of ''nevi'' is perhaps described in [[Deuteronomy]] 18:18, where God said, "I will put my words in his mouth and he will speak to them all that I command him." Thus, the ''navi'' was thought to be the "mouth" of God. The root nun-bet-alef (''navi'') is based on the two-letter root ''nun-bet'' which denotes hollowness or openness, perhaps in reference to God.
