At the end of many editions of the Old Testament, it says the End of the Prophets. Most Jews consider the last of the OT prophets to be the last word that God has spoken. That is all God had to say to mankind. No more revelation for the past 2400 years.
Christians disagree. After 400 years of silence, God spoke to us again through John the Baptist, Jesus, and the apostles. They believe that the Jews are wrong to think that revelation ended 400 years earlier. However, they believe that after the death of the apostles, there was no more revelation. The end of the NT is the End of the Prophets. That is all that God had to say to mankind. No more revelation for the past 2000 years. Sound familiar?
Mormons disagree. After 1800 years of silence, God spoke to us again through Joseph Smith and continues to do so through subsequent prophets. We believe that revelation will never cease. Whether you are Jew, Christian, or Muslim, can you tell me what's wrong with that belief?
