How do we know that John the Baptist is a true prophet?

Answered in 1 source

John the Baptist is affirmed as a true prophet by his fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, as noted in the Gospels.

In Luke 16:16, it is stated that 'the law and the prophets were until John,' indicating John as the last of the Levitical prophets. His role was to announce the arrival of Jesus, and he fulfills the prophecies found in Isaiah and Malachi. Furthermore, Jesus Himself confirmed John's prophetic role, stating that he came in the spirit of Elijah to prepare the way. The consistency of John's message with Scripture and the recognition of his authority by his contemporaries serve as a testament to his true prophetic nature.
