When Christ came, prophecy ceased, because He was there to fulfill all the words that the prophets had spoken and all that had been promised to the fathers. Immediately when He was rejected, prophecy was heard again. Prophecy then divided itself into two subjects. One, touching His kingdom and coining glory—"things to come." The other disclosed the secret of God—the church, Christ's body—His bride; not as of the world, but as given to Him out of the world, during His rejection.
