How to tell a true prophet or prophecy
from a false prophet or prophecy
(Also, see the sign of the "Olympics
in Greece and 2012")
About AD 2012.
I have studied the numbers in the bible for tens of thousands of hours, and
I know that God has been with me in this study. I have written about 150
articles on the subject. This is not a boast, but simply as a statement to
hopefully help others to listen closely to what I am about to say.
The year 2012 is indeed a very remarkable date on God's calendar for many
reasons. I will not delineate them here. (One is that the fall of Babylon
occurred 1260 + 1290 years earlier---which is a seven-year period in bible
prophecy.) Also, see the sign of the "Olympics
in Greece and 2012".)
But this is my word of caution:
Whenever I have thought I could guess by past patterns (numeric or prophecy)
what would occur in the future I usually got it wrong! I don't believe the
bible numbers, or codes, or prophecy in general for that matter, is intended
for the purpose of enabling us to know the future. Yes, we may know it, but
the main purpose of anything prophetic is to buttress our faith and anchor
us firmly in Christ Jesus for salvation. Any type of word of prophecy that
does not accomplish this objective is faulty from the start. It is for this
reason that God will purposely thwart our own objectives to guess the
future.
This does not mean that we do not know generally what shall befall us
in the latter days, or generally in what numeric mode they will be
fulfilled. But when we attempt to me very specific about future
events and even dogmatic, we have gone too far, I believe.
For instance, we generally know that there will be a peace treaty
signed in the last days for "One week." (Daniel 9:24-27). But how
and when this will all occur is not yet known. We have many examples in the
bible and in recent world events that give hints to the numerous
possibilities. For an example, see Geneva-peace-treaty-covenant-Israel.
But to the exactness of such things we are still left guessing. Yet we are
also assured by the bible and by recent shadowing events that such things
are under God's control. And this is the very wisdom of God, is it not? God
wants us to be of good courage and to lift up our eyes for our redemption
draws near. But He does not want us to be walking by sight. He wants
us to walk by faith in His goodness, not in our own understanding.
The Role of Prophets and Prophecy:
The role of prophets, both bible prophets and those spiritually gifted today
as such, are to spur each other on and to be heavenly minded rather than
engrossed in this world. Moreover, all prophets do not see with equal
clarity, nor do they operate in their gift in the same way. There is much
diversity. There is but one way you can tell a true prophet from a false
prophet, and a true prophecy from a false prophecy (even if the false one
come to pass), if the prophet or prophecy does not anchor your soul in
Christ and reveal Christ and honor Christ Jesus our Lord, then it is false.
But there are numerous ways God speaks through his prophets. Look at the
variety of ways God communicated through the bible prophets. But in each and
every case the great object of the prophecy was Christ. Even when speaking
about foreign kingdoms such as Babylon, still the underlying theme
was always the awaited coming of the Savior who would deliver us from
the kingdoms of darkness.
Rev 19:10 "And I fell
down before his feet to worship him. And he saith unto me, See thou do it
not: I am a fellow-servant with thee and with thy brethren that hold the
testimony of Jesus: worship God; for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit
of prophecy."
Why Prophetic Warnings?
1. To demonstrate that God holds the keys of death and
hell, and over ever calamity that befalls man so that men may honor God.
2. To encourage Christians that their suffering will pass
in the timing of God just as it also came in the timing of God.
3. To warns sinners that God holds their life in His
hands and therefore they should fear Him and repent.
A prophetic warning does not mean
that the prophesied event will certainly come to pass, but that it will
if God permits. It is contingent on how men respond, including
His intercessors. Picture if you would, horses straining at a rope tied to
the ground impatient to be loosed. Even so are some messengers of death,
(Zech. 6:7).
(GNB)
"As the dappled horses came out, they were impatient to go and inspect the
earth. The angel said, "Go and inspect the earth!"---and they did."
Warnings are given systematically
on a timetable with great signs observable to all thereby demonstrating
that the warnings are not of human origin, but from God. Thus, the fact
that, for instance, the Swine Flu
began in the month predicted, which is now threatened the world, does not
necessarily mean that it will eventually sweep the world with millions of
deaths. However, it is a warning timed on God's calendar, and if He lets it
loose, it will happen! This is also true of the warnings concerning the
economic collapse,
or of war. Do
not despise the mercy of God that leads you to repentance!
