Acts 3: 24-26

24"Indeed, all the prophets from Samuel on, as many as have spoken, have foretold these days.

25And you are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, 'Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.'

26When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways."

Prophesy Fulfilled

The prophet Samuel lived during the transition between the judges and the kings of Israel, and he was seen as the first in a succession of prophets. He anointed David king, founding David's royal line, from which the Messiah eventually came. All the prophets pointed to a future Messiah.
