Dualing Prophecies

[aegsm76]

My Bible says "The end of the Prophets", at the end of the OT...

The second prophet said God showed her a lion and an eagle "walking side by side." She claims God told her that America and the UK will be restored to greatness. There will be both a spiritual and natural restoration. She claims there will be radical change for good because of these two countries being restored to greatness.

I don't see any conflicts

No? The first was doom and gloom. America being practically destroyed by earthquakes on both coasts. The second is good news. America will be restored to greatness. Rainbows and unicorns and happy happy happy.

This must be interpreted spiritually.

"Waters will lower in Hawaii,"

The surfing business will suffer a setback.

"a tsunami will hit Japan."

Japanese stocks will dip slightly.

"Cities will fall in California."

Some California cities will enact pro-LGBT and pro-illegal immigration laws.

"San Francisco will be reduced to rubble."

Municipal bonds will dip.

"The East coast will also have a major earthquake."

A new fashion design will rock New York's fashion industry.

Well...

These interpretations are of course merely suggestions. Prophecy is not meant to be predictive, just confirmatory (after the fact). Buy my book.

Prophets should focus on perceiving and relaying the mind of God rather than "predicting". The "prophetic revival" infiltrating mainstream Pentecost today is a movement of false prophets, to be certain. A genuine prophet of God is a preacher of righteousness. Holiness and the fear of God is the heartbeat of his message. And a genuine prophet does not play the "guessing game".

so the first "profit" was watching TV where they were talking about some recent changes in the San Andreas fault.

the second "profit" ate some bad pizza too late at night.


Its time for the church to reject profits and get down on their knees and pray.

Agabus was predictive and it came true. Prophets i know are deliberately vague as to avoid accountability for their messages. They are as slippery as a used car salesman.

you know Profits. Not Prophets.


The Prophets I have known never called themselves such. The were thrust forward by other great men who walked close to God and recognized His hand on their lives.


The gift of The Word of Knowledge is not the office of Prophet. It is a gift given by God. I am afraid that some men given a gift have turned that gift to their own profit and called themselves to offices that God has not.

A prophet might from time to time speak a word that directs to some future event but that is not the focus of his work. NOR is it to speak words of knowledge to folk. He is called of God to reveal sin and drive the people of God to their knees.

I am saddened that we have to deal with this but I guess it is no different from what Paul dealt with in his writings where he pointed out those who had turned the Gospel to their own profit.
