Mark--as seems common of God's picks of His more public prophets throughout Scripture--is an unschooled retired Fireman character. He is very given to just 'telling it like it is' and like he hears it from Holy Spirit directly. He doesn't care a lot about other people's opinions about what God told him.
And, just as Paul outlines, Mark's prophetic assertions have given much encouragement to the Body of Christ in these challenging times when the forces of evil are throwing so much dust in the air against Trump and Trump's vigorous assaults against the forces of hell and their human stooges.
And particularly exciting has been the methodical coming true time after time after time after time of the prophetic assertions Mark has published.
Some of us realize, of course, that as in Biblical NT times, some "Believers" are more given to throwing rocks at God's prophetic servants than believing them and trusting God with what was said.
BTW, Which, oh exalted 'Bible "scholar," ' WHICH part of
I will pour out my Spirit upon all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy.
Your old men will dream dreams,
and your young men will see visions.
29
In those days I will pour out my Spirit
even on servants—men and women alike. --Joel 2 NLT
And Acts 2:
Peter Preaches to the Crowd
14 Then Peter stepped forward with the eleven other
apostles and shouted to the crowd, “Listen carefully,
all of you, fellow Jews and residents of Jerusalem!
Make no mistake about this. 15 These people are not drunk,
as some of you are assuming. Nine o’clock in the
morning is much too early for that. 16 No, what you see was
predicted long ago by the prophet Joel:
17
‘In the last days,’ God says,
‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy.
Your young men will see visions,
and your old men will dream dreams.
18
In those days I will pour out my Spirit
even on my servants—men and women alike—
and they will prophesy.
And Paul in I Corinthians 12 & 14
12:
7 A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other. 8 To one person the Spirit gives the ability to give wise advice[b]; to another the same Spirit gives a message of special knowledge.[c] 9 The same Spirit gives great faith to another, and to someone else the one Spirit gives the gift of healing. 10 He gives one person the power to perform miracles, and another the ability to prophesy. He gives someone else the ability to discern whether a message is from the Spirit of God or from another spirit. Still another person is given the ability to speak in unknown languages,[d] while another is given the ability to interpret what is being said. 11 It is the one and only Spirit who distributes all these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should have {i.e. NOT Cletus.D.Yokel}.
. . .
27:
27 All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it. 28 Here are some of the parts God has appointed for the church:
first are apostles,
second are prophets,
third are teachers,
then those who do miracles,
those who have the gift of healing,
those who can help others,
those who have the gift of leadership,
those who speak in unknown languages.
29 Are we all apostles? Are we all prophets? Are we all teachers? Do we all have the power to do miracles? 30 Do we all have the gift of healing? Do we all have the ability to speak in unknown languages? Do we all have the ability to interpret unknown languages? Of course not! 31 So you should earnestly desire the most helpful gifts.
And I Cor 14 In Paul's discourse about normal New Testament Church life:
14 Let love be your highest goal! But you should also desire the special abilities the Spirit gives—especially the ability to prophesy.
. . .
3 But one who prophesies strengthens others, encourages them, and comforts them. 4 A person who speaks in tongues is strengthened personally, but one who speaks a word of prophecy strengthens the entire church.
5 I wish you could all speak in tongues, but even more I wish you could all prophesy.
. . .
But if I bring you a revelation or some special knowledge or prophecy or teaching, that will be helpful.
22 So you see that speaking in tongues is a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers. Prophecy, however, is for the benefit of believers, not unbelievers. 23 Even so, if unbelievers or people who don’t understand these things come into your church meeting and hear everyone speaking in an unknown language, they will think you are crazy. 24 But if all of you are prophesying, and unbelievers or people who don’t understand these things come into your meeting, they will be convicted of sin and judged by what you say. 25 As they listen, their secret thoughts will be exposed, and they will fall to their knees and worship God {just as I've observed in a number of meetings}, declaring, “God is truly here among you.”
A Call to Orderly Worship
26 Well, my brothers and sisters, let’s summarize. When you meet together, one will sing, another will teach, another will tell some special revelation God has given, one will speak in tongues, and another will interpret what is said. But everything that is done must strengthen all of you.
. . .
29 Let two or three people prophesy, and let the others evaluate what is said. 30 But if someone is prophesying and another person receives a revelation from the Lord, the one who is speaking must stop. 31 In this way, all who prophesy will have a turn to speak, one after the other, so that everyone will learn and be encouraged. 32 Remember that people who prophesy are in control of their spirit and can take turns. 33 For God is not a God of disorder but of peace, as in all the meetings of God’s holy people.[q]
. . .
39 So, my dear brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking in tongues. 40 But be sure that everything is done properly and in order.
All from the NLT.
Soooooooo, August Biblical "scholar" Cletus, WHICH words of the above verses do you not understand or DISBELIEVE?
BTW, the bold is as much, or more, for my eyes and quickly finding some things (when quickly scrolling) as for other emphases reasons. You are more than welcome to pay it no mind.
Ok, just gonna say this once. Render unto Ceasar that which is Ceasar’s and unto God that which is God’s. In other words, this discussion is about Q and Justice K’s nomination.
I object to the constant Bible battle that we sat thru yesterday. Please take it to private messages or email.
Thank you

Take this private please. Word to the wise, don’t get into a theology argument with a Missouri Synod Lutheran. LOL
Obviously you both are passionate so discuss your differences without (it appears) trying to let everyone see who wins the debate.
You hide your heresy in scriptural quotes. As long as you say the Magical word of “jesus”, nothing can be criticized.
Mohammed was known as a prophet. Joseph Smith, claimed that title (using those very same Scriptural quotes). Charles T. Russell proclaimed himself to be a prophet. Seems even the devil knows scripture, eh?
You got thrown off FR under your old handle for using false prophesies and false prophets. You are getting pretty close to being doxxed and run off AGAIN. Room-mate, indeed.
Proselytizing false religiosity don’t fly round here.
And no, I will not take my defending God’s Word to PM. I will not hide off-forum while others here are exposed to your satanic use of Scripture.
It is simple. Your “prophesies” and “prophets” are not Biblical (show me where Trump is named in the Bible) and are damaging to the weak in the Christian faith. I will continue to raise warning flags to others here.
Keep your prophesies for Saturday night at the Temple, mmmmkay?
