All that God intended to convey concerning Himself and His redemption which was going to be accomplished through the promised Messiah had been given. Israel, as a type and shadow of the universal Church and as an example to those who would be members of that universal Church had served its purpose. The old economy was about to be replaced by the new in Christ Jesus. Thus God ceased to speak through the prophets.

The understanding of all that had been revealed was to come through Christ; the final Prophet and the Holy Spirit Who would continue and finalize all that God intended to reveal to the Church. Thus, until His arrival, nothing more was spoken by God to man.

Hebrews 1:1-4 (ASV) God, having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners, hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in [his] Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds; who being the effulgence of his glory, and the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; having become by so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.

In His Grace,
