Here’s a thought...why don’t you stop attacking Yehova’s called servant, Michael Rood, and discontinue making the absurd false accusations that you make toward him! You will have to answer those foolish words when you stand at the Great White Throne. Cut your losses!

Here's my thought...I ain't skeered!!! You may be at the GWTJ, but I will have already appeared before the Judgement Seat of Christ and been declared, "Not Guilty" and clothed in the righteousness of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ whom I have received by grace through faith and not by my works.

Tell me, if Rood really is the "called servant" of Yehova, then why has he failed in his prophecies? Do you know what God says about those who claim to be His prophets yet fail to speak the truth?

Profile
Michael Rood is a self-styled “Messianic Rabbi.” He gained national attention first in the year 2000. During much of that year, Rood was a popular seminar speaker around the country, and guest on the national radio program The Prophecy Club, because he was dogmatically and bombastically predicting that the prophetic “Day of the Lord” would begin on the Feast of Trumpets in the fall of 2000. His prediction failed, but he has continued to promote his speculative prophetic theories through public appearances, literature, a collection of video and audio tape teachings, and his website. At one time he used the name “Michael John Rood” almost exclusively in his ministry, but has recently dropped the middle name.

The Claims
Michael Rood currently presents himself, and is promoted in a number of “Christian” settings, as an “expert” in interpreting End Time prophetic scenarios from the Bible. His specialty is connecting the annual timing of the Feasts of Israel from the Old Testament to his own projected time schedule for events he believes are soon to come to pass. Rood also is considered in many circles as an expert in clarifying the “Hebrew Roots” of the Christian faith, and emphasizing those roots in evaluating, in particular, various New Testament passages.

One of the factors in the popularity of Rood as a teacher of Hebrew Roots is that those who promote his ministry present him as a “Messianic Jewish” rabbi, with the obvious implication that he has a Jewish education as a “rabbinical scholar” that gives him deep insight into the Old Testament. And yet at the same time, he has come to accept Jesus/Yahshua as the Jewish Messiah so he can understand both the writings of the New Testament and the Jewishness of Jesus.

Although he seems to carefully avoid promoting his most controversial teachings in certain “Christian” settings, he clearly teaches those who are involved deeply in his ministry that any involvement of any kind in the denominations of “historical Christianity” leaves them in bondage to a Satanic counterfeit of Biblical teaching. Thus those who would not embrace exclusive observance of the seventh day Sabbath and the Biblical holy day cycle immediately upon hearing of Rood’s teachings are branded as being under threat of imminent divine retribution, no matter the sincerity of their attempts to understand and serve God. http://www.apologeticsindex.org/687-michael-rood

Additionally from the same link:

disparage the Christian Church as full of deception and pagan practices;
consider themselves to be the one source of truth, the revealer of the unknown Mystery and the way out of “pagan” Christianity;
follow the teachings of one Man who can lead them out of deception,
warned that America would be attacked and destroyed by Communist powers,
promote highly speculative, unfounded and inaccurate theories,
devote attention to minute detail on areas of “research” that have essentially little significance,
criticize celebration of Christmas (TWI replaced it with “Happy Household Holidays),
use similar terminology, such as when Rood refers to believers receiving “the gift of holy spirit,” (Mystery of Iniquity, p. 54) meaning that they receive the human spirit which Adam, lost at the fall, not “the Holy Spirit” as evangelical Christianity teaches,
promote the “Lamsa Bible” written by George Lamsa, which claims to the translated from the Aramaic and therefore more accurate than translations from the Greek.
Lamsa actually rejects most central Christian beliefs (his doctrine is similar to the Unity School of Christianity where he worked for many years) and his translation is deeply flawed in many ways (“George M. Lamsa– Christian Scholar or Cultic Torchbearer?” Christian Research Journal, by John Juedes on Rood’s claim to have identified the exact day of Jesus’ birth while defaming the celebration of December 25 is also something TWI claimed to do. TWI’s book, The Promised Seed, also identified Tishri 1, 3 BC, between 6:18 and 7:39 P.M. as the date and time of Jesus’ birth. (Although Rood says that was Sept 23, while TWI says it was Wed. Sept. 11, because Rood claims to use a “corrected” Hebrew calendar.)
Rood is different from TWI in his legalistic requirement that Christians keep the Torah and observe the Saturday Sabbath and Hebrew festivals. (Although TWI did emphasize obeying certain universal laws, such as believing and tithing.) On the surface, Rood seems to contradict TWI teaching by emphasizing Hebrew religion, while TWI showed some anti-Semitic characteristics such as denying the WWII holocaust.

Maybe it is you who should "cut your losses" and come to saving faith in Jesus Christ. As long as you have breath, it's not too late.
