This thread is a reminder that belivers in the Lord need to use “discernment”.
Correction: believers.
While that is true, it isn’t rocket science to read a *prophecy* by some self-proclaimed *prophet* ( and they are a dime a dozen these days) and see that it failed.
He’s made plenty of specific ones. For example, he has a failed one about prosperity in South Africa.
Interestingly, the prophets in the OT usually prophesied judgment for sin. These days, those false prophets prophesy all kinds of stuff people with itching ears and greedy hands want to hear. The false prophets did that in the OT days and Jeremiah was thrown in a cistern and threatened with death for prophesying the truth. The people didn’t want to hear it then any more than people want to hear it today.
All they ever prophesy is that God is going to bless, bring a revival, economic prosperity, political prosperity, yada, yada, yada......
It hasn’t happened yet and many of these false prophets have been wrong and nobody is holding them accountable for it.
Instead we get all kinds of excuses about why it didn’t happen.
The only one we don’t hear is because they guy is not a real prophet at all, and just a good guesser and he is a false prophet.
