Judgment...

[Dennis1209]

Amos 3:7 (KJV) Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

I'm studying the book of Amos and I'm curious about the above verse? Do you think there has been prophets in every age? Or was John the Baptist the last prophet, closing out the Old testament. I've wondered if during the age of Grace, if God will still warn a nation before divine judgment? 

[R. Hartono]

God now speaks to church thru the people with the gift of Xenolalia like in our church, under supervision of elders. Its the church duty to warn the world of the judgment of Great Tribulation

1 Cor 14:29 ...let two or three prophets speaks n others weigh carefully what is said

There will be prophets that become known as we approach the times of tribulation. In Revelation 11;3, it states that the two witnesses will prophesy.  We also know that there will be a false prophet as mentioned in Revelation 19:20. The verse in Amos is a promise from the Lord. God has revealed things in the prophecies found in the bible and new prophecies will be declared by the prophets of the end time. The prophecies given by previous prophets of God were sometimes singular but often they have been found to be dual, meaning they can refer to the times given and can also refer to the end times. The prophets of the end times will walk in the power of the Lord and will become known.

The two witnesses in Revelation come to mind.

I suspect the Lord uses many people to speak for him at various times. In other words, he might use you to tell me something, or he might use me to tell you something.

There are still prophets, if there were not Paul would not have labeled them in Ephesians

Ephesians 4:11

And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,

That being said, they are no longer the voice of God, they are the echo of God. Each believer now has the Holy Spirit indwelling them, and He speaks directly to us. But some times, things in our life are so loud we do not hear Him, in those cases God will use someone to echo what he has already told you. They will speak nothing new to you, though they may plant a seed that you will later come to understand.

It all happens on a much more personal level

When I first became a Christian I went to a Charismatic church, and prophecies and 'words" flew around like seagulls at a dump.  But the one prophecy that stuck is the one I did not want to hear.  And it was the one that was true.

[Desopixi Seilynam]

Armies shall stand on the anti-Christs part, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress, and shall take away the daily
temple sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination of desolation. ...

And they that understand among the people shall instruct many .. Daniel 11:31-35

So even during the time of the anti-Christ there will be instruction from people of God. 

[Justin Adams]

This was the case up to and including 70AD when the temple was destroyed and the believers escaped.

Josephus describes it all in gory detail.

1 Cor. 13:9-12 (ESV)

9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
  10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.
  11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.
  12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. 

1 Cor. 14:1-5 (EMTV)

1 Pursue love, and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
  2 For he who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men, but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.
  3 But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.
  4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.
  5 Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you should prophesy; for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may be edified.

Rom. 12:4-6 (EMTV)

4 For just as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function,
  5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.
  6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace having been given to us, let us use them: whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

There have been prophets during the OT and ever since John the Immerser.  Prophecy is for the whole New Covenant era.

Yes, that will be the last Prophets.
