"Spiritual Gifts, Vol. 1 Introduction EW 133 The gift of prophecy was manifested in the church during the Jewish dispensation. If it disappeared for a few centuries, on account of the corrupt state of the church toward the close of that dispensation, it reappeared at its close to usher in the Messiah. Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist, “was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied.” Simeon, a just and devout man who was “waiting for the consolation of Israel,” came by the Spirit into the temple, and prophesied of Jesus as “a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of Thy people Israel”; and Anna, a prophetess, “spake of Him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.” And there was no greater prophet than John the Baptist, who was chosen of God to introduce to Israel “the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” EW 133"
