“And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.”
Indeed, beginning with Samuel, all the prophets who have spoken have foretold these days. — the prophetic witness (archo, beginning, starting) from Samuel onward (hepta hēmerai, these days, this era, these times) all pointed to the messianic age now inaugurated. Samuel represents the prophetic office in its fullness; all who followed testify to Jesus' coming. The unity of prophetic witness validates the apostolic claim.
