Last prophet

Abrahamic and ancient Near Eastern religions

Judaism

Judaism considers Malachi to be the last of the biblical prophets.

Christianity

In Christianity, the last prophet of the Old Covenant before the arrival of Jesus is John the Baptist (cf. Luke 16:16). The Eastern Orthodox Church holds that Malachi was the "Seal of Prophets" in the Old Testament. Christian denominations who hold that spiritual gifts (including prophecy) continue to be bestowed by the Holy Spirit on Christians are known as "continuationists" (including Catholics, Methodists, and Pentecostals), while the cessationist perspective, which teaches that charismata ended in the Apostolic era, is held by much of Reformed Christianity and Baptists. The book of Revelation in the very last days during the Tribulation period states that two prophets, (many believe one to be Elijah because of the book of Malachi stating his return at the end), will return to earth and inform the world of what's happening and pour out some of God's judgments.

Mandaeism

In Mandaeism, John the Baptist is the greatest and final prophet.

Manichaeism

In Manichaeism, the founder Mani is believed by adherents of the faith to be the last and final prophet after a long succession of religious figures, including Zoroaster, the Gautama Buddha and Jesus Christ. According to Al-Biruni, a 10th-century Iranian scholar, Mani claimed to be the Paraclete promised in the New Testament and the Last Prophet.

Islam

The phrase Khatamu ’n-Nabiyyīn ("Seal of the Prophets") is a title used in the Quran to designate the Islamic prophet Muhammad. It is generally regarded and believed to mean that Muhammad is the last of the prophets sent by God.
