Acts 11:27 And in these days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.
Does it surprise you to see things written down like this? I was kind of brought up in such a way as to believe the prophets were people who lived a long time before Christ and that was it.
God allowed people, even during these times when this was written, to be able to tell about things which were still to come.
God knows some of us need a lot of guidance and that we cannot get everything from just reading His Word. He gives us special people in our lives to guide us.
Trust in Him and trust in His power to be able to do so much more than we can think about!
