Ultimately, the only thing that matters is this: either the prophecy ("thus sayeth the Lord") unfolds as predicted, or does not. If not, then it obviously is not from God, because He does not lie.MagnusStouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16975404335377881030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-41538181022246102842021-08-01T06:13:05.926+01:002021-08-01T06:13:05.926+01:00@MS - Well, I certainly agree that prophetic claim...@MS - Well, I certainly agree that prophetic claims must be subject to our best discernment like any other claim from anybody...<br /><br />And claims to have devised a valid prophecy checklist that discerns reliably between true and false prophecy, are themselves claims that equally need to be subject to discernment - if you get my point?

I start by using the following filters:<br /><br />(1) Is this a message from the Lord? No weird aliens/shamans/etc...?<br />(2) Do they mix any known untruths (ex: fawning support of contemporary Israel, Republicans, etc...)?<br />(3) Have they ever been wrong? Prophecy from God is always 100% true.<br />(4) Are they asking for money or selling merch?<br />(5) Is the prophecy specific enough to be falsified? <br /><br />Those questions filter the vast majority of "prophecy." What remains can then be taken up in prayer. Since we have Free Will, and God is Love, He always wants His children to repent and seek communion with Him. <br /><br />When I read Mr. Wickland's comments about church closures being evil's aim, I agree 100% and felt that in March 2020. I also agree that the remnant will work miracles (as it always has in the past). However, there are some odd things he mixes in, like Biblical literalism and this phrase: "many who are your enemies in these days will become your friends and neighbours in the days to come." Okay, that's possible but feels like "hopium."<br /><br />A good guide is to know and compare it with real prophecy such as the turn-around in Ninevah. Does his prediction echo that pattern and other Biblical patterns? After all, God is the same today as yesterday.<br /><br />My spiritual intuition is that things will get worse (that doesn't mean we are hopeless). I don't see nearly enough repentance from people. Maybe that will happen when enough people are injured by the vexx? Well, either that or people's hearts will harden even more (like pharaoh) and the "pain train" will continue.<br /><br />The current nastiness in the UK, Canada and Australia will make it to the US sooner or later. A revival there would spell optimism for the rest of the world.MagnusStouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16975404335377881030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-91082071581002037622021-07-31T22:03:25.424+01:002021-07-31T22:03:25.424+01:00@MH - Thank you. @MH - Thank you.
