Does Scripture Require Prophets? The Canon Test Examined | Sam Shamoun

Sam Shamoun dismantles the claim that Old Testament books must be written during a time when no prophets existed in order to be excluded from Scripture. By tracing how Jesus, the apostles, and the New Testament consistently define canonical Scripture as prophetic—“the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings”—Sam shows that the objection collapses under its own logic. He exposes how passages in 1 Maccabees are misused to argue that prophecy had ceased, explaining that these texts only describe specific historical moments, not a permanent end to prophets. Drawing from Numbers 12:6, Sam establishes the biblical criteria for prophetic authority: God speaks through dreams and visions, not merely through explicit prophetic titles. Using Scripture itself, Sam demonstrates that many biblical figures—such as Solomon, David, and even Abel—were prophets despite not always being labeled as such. He then turns to 2 Maccabees 15, showing that Judas Maccabeus received a divinely inspired vision involving the prophet Jeremiah, directly contradicting the claim that no prophets were active during this period. Finally, Sam delivers the decisive blow: the rededication of the Temple and the institution of Hanukkah are enshrined as divinely sanctioned events—celebrated by the Jewish people and explicitly confirmed by Jesus Himself. This, Sam argues, proves that Maccabees cannot be dismissed as non-prophetic or uninspired, forcing critics to rethink their assumptions about canon, prophecy, and Scripture.
