Thanks, Quix. As usual, you are right on! I appreciate your boldness and your stand. Things are going to get tough. People need to read Psalm 91 and learn how to get under the protection of the Living God during these days to come. Love, Mxxx

Well, that's what fundamentalists say but I always said they were too narrow in their focus. Bible prophecy has not all been fulfilled yet and God is raising many prophets. He has always had prophetic voices. Some churches don't believe in them or want to listen. Their loss, especially in these times. We need to stay tuned to what God is saying through his prophetic intercessors. Yes, there are some false prophets among us but we are warned to test them.

You are welcome for the message.

I suspect Holy Spirit is not at all pleased with your characterization of what HE IS ABOUT these days.

To me, the issue currently is whether the Iraq thing is going to spread into WWIII NOW or whether that can be delayed to say 2006.

There once was a seemingly significant set of Bible Codes that seemed to say that 2002 and 2006 were windows for WWIII and that it depended on prayer and other unknowns.

I pray we get it delayed. There are some indications it will be. But I think it's far from certain.

I too think Chinese troops are going to be, as predicted by so many different sources--on our shores as occupiers. And they can be exceedingly ruthless. And I believe they will come streaming across the Mexican border with Mexicans. I believe probes have been made already. I believe Dilldo even helped set such treason up.

Thanks for your kind and thoughtful response. It's interesting how many bright people seem to have no clue about such things.

Agreed.

What do you see are the testable biblical criteria for a true prophet?

Have you tested the bible codes and found them to be true prophets?

Thanks for your kind and encouraging responses.

Praying for your concerns and needs and those of your loved ones.

Certainly knowing Psalm 91 and several others could be life sustaining in coming months, years.

Also, having a backpack with one at all times with suitable minimal wise things is sensible. Had to do that in Mainland China for a list of reasons. Felt God said it was wise generally. AND, TO BE WILLING TO WALK OUT OF A SHOWER AND NEVER LOOK BACK--not returning for one's cloak, so to speak. . . ****IF**** THAT'S WHAT THE *TRUE* GOD'S-ANGELIC MESSENGERS REQUIRED! Remembering Lot's wife.

And the test is clearly given in Scripture--do they agree Christ came in the flesh etc. or not? Do they support the basic doctrines of the faith or not? Do they walk the talk or not? Are they consistently correct or mostly wrong?

YES!!!

OTOH, if we'll go in and waste Saddam NOW, the threat from mainland China will be stayed, for we are being cursed for not getting the job done with Saddam. But--WWIII will quickly follow, yet God will protect us for the sake of Israel--and maybe rather soon, we'll be up, up and away headed for a Supper...

Biblical prophets predicted future events, correctly, every time.

Do the bible codes meet that test? Predicting future events, correctly every time? Predict, meaning to identify before hand, not after it has happended.

Do you assert the bible codes meet this same biblical criteria met by all other bible prophets?

And I suspect He laughs at something called THE BIBLE CODES DIGEST, published on a monthly basis.

Will some of you saps throw your money at anything that will make you feel superior to the rest of us?

Even if it's phoney as hell?

Again,

there were two Old Testament cases where an authentic prophet of The Lord missed it.

The Codes, all the experts insist, are not to be construed as predictive--especially in terms of statistics etc.

However, it appears that God is not all that concerned about the technical details of such arguments and that The Codes have a LOT of potential to be predictive.

WHERE THE CODES HAVE BEEN HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT IN TERMS OF CRITERIA ON QUALITY, PROBABILITY ETC. AND WHERE THEY HAVE SAID SOMETHING RATIONALLY CONSTRUED AS PREDICTIVE AND WHERE THE EVENT HAS CLEARLY OCCURRED, IS PAST--THEY HAVE BEEN ACCURATE. This was true in terms of the snipers wherein if the officials had had the info from the Codes, they might well have caught the snipers a week to a few weeks earlier.

And, there appear to be some Codes about Iraq and Saddam which will likely prove true.

Certainly the capture of the biggies recently of Al Qaeda were predicted in some respects by a Code.

MOST CODES ARE VERY CRYPTIC LIKE MANY OLD TESTAMENT PROPHECIES. It is usually hard to discern what is meant until after the fact. IT SEEMS THAT GOD IS more interested in showing affirmation and that He knew beforehand than He is in using the Codes to give detailed and very specific predictions.

Certainly I believe this issue in modern authentic prophetic sources AND in the Codes will change the closer we get to the fulfillment of all the Biblical end time prophecies. I believe detail, specificity and even time details will be more and more specific and detailed and increasingly accurate as prophetic individuals are cleaned up within and in their hearing and their gifting and the operating of their gifts refined.

It's a bit cheeky for people with hostile, distant perspectives on such to have such wholesale, stern, narrow, rigid dogmas about something they have little to no experience with. RELIGIOUS SPIRITS are probably more destructive than even false prophets.

But Scripture is clear that we are to ROUTINELY TEST THE PROPHECIES ROUTINELY GIVEN IN WORSHIP MEETINGS. Perhaps you are familiar with I Corinthians. You might read 12-14. The Scriptural standard is for Believers to gather together and ALL WHO HAVE A PROPHECY TO GIVE--TO GIVE IT--AND FOR THE GROUP TO DISCERN IT AND DECIDE WHAT IS OF GOD AND WHAT NOT. It's interesting in that passage, that there is no exhortation to then go out and stone to death someone who was only 95% accurate.

Evidently according to you, God forgot to put that part in.

Ohhhh, to be up, up and away for the banquet!

I don't know about us being protected for Israel.

I have a belief that God wants us to prove inadequate and faithless in protecting Israel.

I believe He wants Israel to realize that HE SUPERNATURALLY IS THEIR ONLY HIGH TOWER, THEIR ONLY PROTECTION--DIRECTLY.

I believe that if we miss WWIII this near term, that we'll have 1-3 years of relative--RELATIVE--peace and RELATIVE prosperity for Believers to make tons of money to fund tons of mission works for the last big harvest push.

Then, all bets are off.

Can you cite one case of Bible Code prediction? Something the bible codes predicted before it happened?

I think you'd best be very energetic about exercising your derision.

It feels in my bones that the window of opportunity for that to have the remotest sanity and plausibility--that that window is beginning to close with increasing speed.

At some point in time, such derision will be hazardous--very hazardous.

I'm not sure precisely how. But I'd guess at a minimum, the more derisive you are toward something authentically of God, the more deeply a root of hostility to God will grow in your being.

And if you think being consumed by evil is a wonderful thing--I suggest you consider Billdo and her hideous heinous Bwitch Shrillary.

Wow, you really are ignorant about me!

Helps me understand your ignorance about The Codes.

I did in the post you responded to.

Maybe I'll look the FR URL'S up on such posts this week some time.

You can certainly find such at the BibleCodesDigest.com site.

I've posted such repeatedly. If you want the truth, you'll search it out.

When I feel like bothering, I'll try and ping you and post the URL.
