All throughout the Bible God led His church by a prophet, not a pope or pastor or priest. The scriptures say that He is "the same today, yesterday, and forever", so why would revelation through a prophet cease with the death of the Apostles?

Are you Mormon ?
Mormonism has 12 Prophets over the church, so for mormons prophets still do exist - over the mormon church.
Many other christian religions believe that there are no more prophets alive today.
Judaism does not believe that there are prophets alive today.
And Isalm believes that the greatest prophet, and the last prophet was Muhammed.
Buddhism, the philosophy of life I've chosen, does not believe in prophets. We believe that we choose our own destiny, and are responsible for our own peace of mind and happiness, not leaving it in the hands of a prophet, savior, or a god.

Prophet... a word much misused... before Christ, who was and is The Word, God used Prophets to transmit His Word and Will to mankind. these men had direct communication with God. God Gave them What He wanted mankind to know... it all was leading to the coming of Christ... when Christ came The Word was compleat... the last Prophet of God to mankind was John The Baptist........ another meaning, of prophet, more aplicable to this time after Christs coming would be inspired teacher... not one who is giving original words and instruction directly from God... but one who is teaching The compleated Word of God... in this sense, all, who are God's people, have been commissioned to go forth and give The Word of God to mankind... The Compleated Word.... not new "revelations" or additions to God's Word.... but The Word which is Jesus The Christ.... which is The Salvation Mesage..... so in the sense that any inspired by God to go as a teacher of His compleated Word...then yes... there are many prophets today

(1) The Prophetic Vocation -- "For prophecy came not by the will of man at any time: but the holy men of God spoke, inspired by the Holy Ghost" (2 Peter 1:21). The Prophets were ever conscious of this Divine mission. I am not a professional or a voluntary Prophet, Amos practically said to Amasias, who wished to prevent him from prophesying at Bethel. "I am a herdsman plucking wild figs. And the Lord took me when I followed the flock, and the Lord said to me: Go, prophesy to my people Israel" (vii, 14 sq.). Again "the lion shall roar, who will not fear? The Lord God hath spoken, who shall not prophesy?" (iii, 8). Isaias saw Yahweh seated on a throne of glory, and when a seraph had purified his lips he heard the command "Go!" and he received his mission of preaching to the people the terrible judgments of God. God made known to Jeremias that he had consecrated him from his mother's womb and appointed him the Prophet of nations; He touched his lips to show that He made them His instrument for proclaiming His just and merciful judgments (i, 10), a duty so painful, that the Prophet endeavoured to be excused and to conceal the oracles entrusted to him. Impossible; his heart was consumed by a flame, which forced from him that touching complaint: "Thou hast deceived me, O Lord, and I am deceived: thou hast been stronger that I, and thou hast prevailed" (xx, 7). Ezechiel sees the glory of God borne on a fiery chariot drawn by celestial beings. He hears a voice commanding him to go and find the children of Israel, that rebellious nation, with hardened heart and brazen face, and without prevarication deliver to them the warnings he was to receive.

Sure there are. Prophets only speak the words of God but there are many false ones too.
