WHAT DOES IT MEAN THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS WERE UNTIL JOHN?
By: doug Date: January 11, 2026, 12:02 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
[Luke 16:16 KJV] "The law and the prophets [were] until John:
since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man
presseth into it."
What is meant that the law and prophets were until John? Does
this mean the law was now done away? Does this mean there would
be no more any prophets?
The law and the prophets prophesied that God would establish a
kingdom which would last forever:
[2 Samuel 7:12 KJV] "And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou
shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee,
which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his
kingdom."
[2 Samuel 7:13 KJV] "He shall build an house for my name, and I
will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever."
[2 Samuel 7:16 KJV] "And thine house and thy kingdom shall be
established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be
established for ever."
[Jeremiah 33:17 KJV] "For thus saith the LORD; David shall never
want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;"
[Isaiah 9:6 KJV] "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is
given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his
name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The
everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
[Isaiah 9:7 KJV] "Of the increase of [his] government and peace
[there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his
kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with
justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of
hosts will perform this."
[1 Chronicles 17:11 KJV] "And it shall come to pass, when thy
days be expired that thou must go [to be] with thy fathers, that
I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons;
and I will establish his kingdom."
[1 Chronicles 17:12 KJV] "He shall build me an house, and I will
stablish his throne for ever."
[Jeremiah 23:5 KJV] "Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that
I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall
reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the
earth."
[Jeremiah 23:6 KJV] "In his days Judah shall be saved, and
Israel shall dwell safely: and this [is] his name whereby he
shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS."
[Psalm 89:3 KJV] "I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have
sworn unto David my servant,"
[Psalm 89:4 KJV] "Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build
up thy throne to all generations. Selah."
[Psalm 89:35 KJV] "Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will
not lie unto David."
[Psalm 89:36 KJV] "His seed shall endure for ever, and his
throne as the sun before me."
[Psalm 89:37 KJV] "It shall be established for ever as the moon,
and [as] a faithful witness in heaven. Selah."
[Luke 1:31 KJV] "And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb,
and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS."
[Luke 1:32 KJV] "He shall be great, and shall be called the Son
of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne
of his father David:"
[Luke 1:33 KJV] "And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for
ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end."...........Jesus
was identified as the one who would establish and reign in the
prophetic kingdom.
[John 1:29 KJV] "The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him,
and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of
the world."
[John 1:30 KJV] "This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a
man which is preferred before me: for he was before me."
[John 1:31 KJV] "And I knew him not: but that he should be made
manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with
water."..........John water baptized to make Jesus known to
Israel.
[Mark 1:14 KJV] "Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus
came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of
God,"............Jesus began to preach the gospel of the kingdom
which was prophesied by the law and the prophets. The prophets
stopped prophesying about the kingdom because the kingdom that
would fulfill their prophecies was at hand............[Matthew
4:17 KJV] "From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say,
Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.".........The time
when the prophesied kingdom would be established was
fulfilled...........[Mark 1:15 KJV] "And saying, The time is
fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and
believe the gospel."
That the law and the prophets were until John didn't mean the
law was done away. It didn't mean there would be no longer
prophets. What was meant was the law and the prophets would no
longer prophesize about the kingdom.
