Around midnight about ten years ago, my sister was working on her computer when she heard loud, annoying static.

She said, “What is that!”

She discovered it was coming from my father’s earphones for the hearing impaired that was located in the adjoining room.

She held the ear phones up to her face for a closer look on how to turn them off. All of a sudden the static turned into the music of the Hallelujah Chorus with choir-like voices singing “Hallelujah! Hallelujah!”

This was followed by a strong calm male voice saying, “Prepare! The Lord Jesus Christ is coming soon! This is the last generation!”

Then the loud static came on the earphones again. My sister finally figured out how to turn the headphones off. She looked around the room to check for the source of the message and found that the TV had been turned off; the satellite dish had been turned off; and no radio was operating.

My sister excitedly told my mother, who was still up and working in the kitchen, “You are not going to believe this!”

She told my mother what had transpired. My mother told my sister to write the message down. She did, and still has the envelope it was written on, as well as the headphones. Shortly after midnight she called me and relayed what she had heard. She also told her pastor.

The headphones had never made a static noise before or since the message.

It is interesting to note that several later years I was led to write two songs in that same room about the end times and Christ’s return.

I do not concur that you received that “word” from the Lord.

It is contrary to His word, in that it teaches works salvation.

Doesn’t even sound like God speaking.

Anyway, that’s “My” discernment.

Oh... by the way... we are ALL living in sin... every day... nobody is perfect.

Those who are found not ready for His coming will be very ashamed, and they will have lost great reward... but if the Holy Spirit was ever in them, He will never leave... and when He goes, we go with him. Otherwise God’s word is broken.

Well, I prefer to "discern" a little bit before I incorporate reputed prophecies into my repertoire. Sometimes, the discernment process is easy, and can even be restricted to objectively verifiable things that are of purely human origin. We have one of those situations before us right now. In fact, the vital clue is in the first two words of the title!

"Be forthwith"? What, may I ask, does that mean? "Forthwith" is an adverb. It is a synonym for "immediately," which is also an adverb. One cannot "be" an adverb! A sentence employing this pseudo-syntax is meaningless. "Be forthwith" is the same thing as "be immediately." Does that make any sense...at least in English? I would say not. It's the same sort of construction as "be gladly," or "be undoubtedly," or "be enormously." You get the idea, I hope. None of those constructions makes any sense.

The point? The poster directly states in this post's opening sentence that "be forthwith" was uttered by the very mouth of the Lord Himself. It is impossible for any believing Christian to suppose that an omniscient, omnipotent God does not know how to construct grammatically correct sentences in English, or any other language. "Be forthwith" is just the most jarring example. What does "repentive" mean, as in "repentive in heart," found in sentence three? What are "poor and solice people," as found in the opening line of paragraph 4? What's the deal with "be forthwith" getting a repeated utterance at the end of the "prophecy"?

Look, folks, this "prophecy" alone is replete with grammatical errors and non-existent English vocabulary, and it purports to come from the mouth of "the Lord." Other "prophecies" from this poster are similarly afflicted with botched grammar and mangled vocabulary. There is no way these utterances can be verbatim quotes from God Himself, as the poster alleges!

It doesn't matter that the individual reader might "agree" with the editorial content of these posts, which generally has to do with the deliverance of believers and the punishment of evil doers. Though specific emphases along these lines might be skewed, such sentiments are predictable enough as the sorts of things any Christian might suppose await the good and the reprobate. But that white-bread predictability does not make them legitimate prophetical utterances in and of itself!

You deceive yourselves when you think these posts are on the level. God does not speak gibberish! He can construct perfect sentences and employ extraordinarily elegant vocabulary in any language - English included! I refuse to believe these "prophecies" are anything more than the wishful thinking of an individual poster, irrespective of editorial slant (much of which I also disagree with, but that's not the basis of my point here). Anyone trying to put words into God's mouth when they were not pronounced by God is doing "wrong." If God really wants to provide messages along these lines, He can certainly raise up a true prophet to transmit them. If He does not, or does not wish to do so at this time, it is the height of arrogance to presume that we can take matters into our own hands. That is the sign of many things, chief among which would be that such a person is a "false prophet"!
