Subject: Are Modern Prophets Always Accurate ? |
Bible Note: Thanks for the warm welcome! You asked, "How many Prophets are there and how does the Christian know the true from the false." I am sure you are aware that not only do Christians know the Word of God. One of the greatest Biblical scholars is the adversary himself. Actually, if all be known, he knows it better than most Christians today. That is what he banks on. Any type of confusion or disharmony will send yet another soul his way. This makes discerning a true prophet from a false prophet very difficult. Traditionally, a true prophet will avoid the "Chicken Little" syndrome and will simply issue warnings of current events. Although I will say, if the prophecy told does not add to the end result, beware it's source. You are a spirit trapped in a body. Use the Word of God as a measuring rod; use your spirit to discern. 1 Cor 13:13 "But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love." You will find no spirit of fear in the Words of a true prophet. If it comes from God, it is of love. As to the number of prophets; there are more than you think. There are those that don't know yet. But get ready. There are mighty things to happen in this last generation. You asked "Can a prophet be wrong? I mean no question dead wrong, and still call themselves a prophet of God?" ..and.. "In other words they themselves were the only source for the prophecy...the first of its kind without foundation in their own current Scripture." True, in those days they were still being The Bible, writting it with their lives. But the future for us has already been written and locked away... Rev 22:18,19 "I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book." So you won't find much new on the grand scale of life. However, a prophet may enlighten you on things in your life, or their life. Example; if a prophet came to you and said, "Jensen, there is something in your spirit that isn't right", they may sit down and talk to you about something specific in your life. Yet it will have almost zero bearing on what will happen in the last days. Unless, of course, you a major player in the last days. And the last thing I have time for, " I have only come across Christians(3) who are only too eager to be known as a prophet. “Hi. I’m Parker. A Prophet of God.” Tell me, since you also call yourself a prophet (EProphet): Have you ever been wrong?" I have never out and out called myself a prophet. I just have a sense of things around me and share it with people. I guess the use of the name kinda declares it. The only things that I see (visions and dreams) speak of the final days, as you may have already guessed. So far, the things I have said have not come to pass, so I cannot speak for their validity at this time. Also, I have never shared things that, to me, did not cross with the Word of God. See, in the early days of the Bible, the Old Covenant was being written, and the New Covenant was being forseen. In the days of Jesus, the New Covenant was being fulfilled and the Second Coming was being foretold. The Word of God was sealed and the completion of Prophecy is all the church has left. And as for "are your prognostications so far in the future that this generation will never know the truth of the future events you proclaim."... Let me put it to you this way... How old are you? How long do you plan to live on this Earth. Pay close attention to the events in the world. We are in the last days. Sorry for not answering all of your questions. Look forward to talking again to you soon. Nothing missing, nothing broken: EProphet |
