Prophets and Jesus Christ

No. In addition to true prophets, unclean spirits also bore witness that Jesus Christ was the Son of God.

Yes. He lifted up a serpent upon a pole to heal all who would look as a symbol of the Messiah.

Yes. He prophesied of a virgin who should conceive. He also prophesied of a child being born, a Son, a Prince of Peace.

Christians believe Yes. They point to Ezekiel's prophecy of His Second Coming, where Ezekiel said, "the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory."

Yes. Nephi in the Book of Mormon cites the prophesies of Isaiah that a virgin shall conceive. He then adds prophesies of his own, saying, the "Lamb of God was baptized", and he was "crucified". Even though hundreds of years befor his birth, Nephi was told by an angel and prophesied that "his name shall be Jesus Christ, the Son of God."

Yes. He said that Christ is the "Son of God", that He would be "born of Mary…she being a virgin", and that He would "atone for their sins, through faith and repentance." Alma also prophesied that Christ would "take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death."

The New Testament records that John prophesided that, "one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose." When John saw Jesus coming unto him, he said, "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world."

Yes. In the New Testament Peter famously said to Jesus, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." Peter also testified that Jesus Christ "is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner."

Yes. Modern Prophets records his witness that, "I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, which descended gradually until it fell upon me. It no sooner appeared than I found myself adelivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!"

Yes. Modern Prophets records his witness thus: "I testify that Jesus Christ is the literal and living Son of our living God", and that "He was the promised Messiah, the mortal Messiah, and will be the millennial Messiah." He further witnessed, "It is the Savior who paid the price for our sins and transgressions and blots them out on condition of our repentance." President Nelson said, "I know that God lives! Jesus is the Christ!"

The Quran does not teach that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and will come in His glory. It does not state that there will be a "last prophet." It does say that God will always send a /messenger before destroying a people. It states, "Never have We destroyed a town without sending down messengers to warn it." Muslims widely believe that Muhammad is the last prophet and in support of that belief citing the Quran that says Muhammad is the "seal of the prophets." The New Testament and Book of Mormon both speak of a prophet or prophets in the latter times. The New Testament says that Jerusalem will have two prophets in the last times who will be slain and then come to life again. The Book of Mormon speaks of a latter-day prophet named Joseph, who shall be named after his father. All of this is to be before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Amos, in the Old Testament, speaks that God will regularly speak to His prophets , else "do nothing."

Yes. The New Testament indicates in Revelation that there will be "two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days." It then states that their bodies shall be killed and "their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified." After "three days and a half the Spirit of life from God entered into them." It also states that, "they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth."
