Yes, I believe there is. The literal meaning of the word “prophet” is one who foretells future events, and/or one who declares the truth of God. Some scholars have described a prophet as one who foretells, and or forth-tells the things of God. I believe that both are still in existence. Deuteronomy 18:18 and following speaks about the role of a prophet. The test for a true prophet is given to us in Deuteronomy 18:21-22. God says, “You may say to yourselves, "How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD ?" If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.” One hundred percent accuracy is the standard.
