RE: One doesn’t have to use those words to assume the mantle of prophet, although they certainly do make one accountable to God.
Disagree. If this were so, then we have many opinionated people in this forum ( whether they are Christian or not ) who regularly predict the future.
One does not have to say — GOD TOLD ME, to predict the future based on best guess, based on the circumstances, the events, the attitude of people around him. If one is humble enough to say to himself — “Yes, this is what I believe will happen, but I could be wrong”, that is NOT assuming the mantle of God.
I regularly monitor my investments and “predict” the course of the financial instruments that me and my family ( extended ones ) and friends own. I “predict” the future and act on this “prediction” ( note the quotes ) by re-re-arranging my portfolio and advising them to do the same based on my reasoning, but I do not claim that God told me this, and neither do I tell people in church what I do. And yes, I admit that this is my best guest and I could be wrong.
This is different from OPENLY TELLING EVERYONE that God told me this will happen.
That doesn’t make me a false prophet.
Red herring. A minuscule number of them claim to have ministerial qualifications as Dr. Brown does. Also, Brown puts special focus on January 20 whereas those who he appears to be criticizing may or may not have. He also says “Donald Trump will not serve a second, consecutive term” while using the comma, which implies neither second nor consecutive.
