'Prophets' in the Bible
This is how God fulfilled what he had predicted through the voice of all the prophets that his Messiah would suffer.
He must remain in heaven until the time of universal restitution, which God announced long ago through the voice of his holy prophets.
"Indeed, all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who followed him, also announced these days.
You are the descendants of the prophets and the heirs of the covenant that God made with your ancestors when he told Abraham, "Through your descendant all the families of the earth will be blessed.'
So God turned away from them and gave them over to worship the heavenly bodies. As it is written in the book of the Prophets: "O house of Israel, you didn't offer me slaughtered animals and sacrifices those 40 years in the wilderness, did you?
Which of the prophets did your ancestors fail to persecute? They killed those who predicted the coming of the Righteous One, and now you have become his betrayers and murderers.

At that time some prophets from Jerusalem came down to Antioch.
Now Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius from Cyrene, Manaen, who grew up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul were prophets and teachers in the church at Antioch.
After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue leaders asked them, "Brothers, if you have any message of encouragement for the people, you may speak."
For the people who live in Jerusalem and their leaders, not knowing who Jesus was, condemned him and so fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath.
So be careful that what the prophets said doesn't happen to you:
This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
Then Judas and Silas, who were also prophets, said a lot to encourage and strengthen the brothers.
However, I admit to you that in accordance with the Way, which they call a heresy, I worship the God of our ancestors and believe in everything written in the Law and the Prophets.
I've had help from God to this day, and so I stand here to testify to both the powerful and the lowly alike, stating only what the prophets and Moses said would happen
King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you believe them!"
From morning until evening, he continued to explain the kingdom of God to them, trying to convince them about Jesus from the Law of Moses and the Prophets. Some of them were convinced by what he said, but others wouldn't believe.
