another thing, if the verse meant that Jesus Peace Be Upon Him is the last prophet by the word "fulfill" or "complete" like some other may understand, then what did Jesus mean in John 16:
It seems that he was clearly referring to only one in the word "he", not "them" which means that he was telling of the coming of one person, right?
Well, yes he was referring to a Person, but that's because the Holy Ghost ie the Comforter is the Third Person of the Godhead. Here's the relevant passages:
'And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter,
that he may abide with you for ever;
Even the
Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him;
for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.' St. John 14: 16-17
'But the Comforter,
which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name,
he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsover I have said unto you.' St. John 14: 26.
'Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
And when he is come,
he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgement:
Of sin, because they believe not on me; of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
Howbeit when he,
the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:
and he will shew you things to come.
He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.' St. John 16: 7-15.
