Considering the gov Disclosure project , not to mention Stephen Spielberg's movie " Disclosure" coming out this month

NOW is the time to educate oneself.

Don't be deceived through willfully ignoring prophecy.

Spielberg’s movie release signals the official kick-off of the Great Deception.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

All I know is God gave us his Words in the Bible. The Holy Spirit helps us in our reading of His
Word. No need for anything else or anyone else. God, the Bible, and me. No preachers, popes,
or hucksters need apply.

Great article. Thanks.

It depends on what you mean by “prophecy.” Most biblical prophecy is not a revealing of future specific events. But there is predictive prophecy. Yet most predictive prophecy cannot be interpreted until the events have come. It is for future generations. See: 1 Peter 1.10-12. This is why so many Godly, Spirit filled, people are all over board when it comes to interpreting predictive prophecy which is often highly symbolic and allegorical.

Good article. The writer brings out good points that we should all heed. Adding to the scriptures is probably the most common thing I've seen in the past several years, especially date setting.

David Wilkerson's book "The Vision" had many parts come true already, but he tended to shift to date setting in some parts, especially when he prophesied about a natural calamity taking place somewhere in US. I believe he said it would happen within 5-10 years but it never did. IMO, if he would have left that out his prediction would be more credible cuz I believe that prediction will come true, just not when we expect it.

Bottom line, I read an article many years back that says we will not understand everything spoken of in the Bible, especially concerning prophesy, until we get to the other side, and I believe that. So while, yes, we need to study it, we won't totally understand it all until Jesus opens our eyes. Ref Luke 24:31. God bless you all.

What biblical translation says “WATCH for the SEASON of his return?” This seems to be a complete invention, of mischeif-making false prophets. The text (I’ll use King James here since I believe I’m talking to Protestants mostly) says “Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming” which pretty much says the opposite message:

You DON’T know when he’s coming, where your butchering of the text implies that you SHOULD know when he’s coming, if you’re being faithful and watching for the SEASON. “Watch” (the false text) suggests you should be looking for something beforehand, whereas “Be alert” (the actual text) means merely that you should be ready in case it happens. “The season” implies that there will be indicators to look out for, but that’s a pure invention since the text says, “you do not know which day” which suggests, as it does other places in the bible, that you can’t know until the day arrives.

Talk about twisting prophecy!!!!

[Sam Gamgee]

I have to admit prophecy is not a strong point for me. I don’t quite understand it.

Zechariah 9:9 “Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”

The problem I have is this is any person faking to be the Messiah could easily have bought a donkey and rode into Jerusalem on it.

the Spielberg movie is just a bad movie - no need to even consider it. it isn't belief-shattering - for that to have been the case the movie would have to have been released in 1957. The story has been done to death and is badly written in any case - boring.

Now to the article - this is such a timely and sober reminder. The author is spot on: when we anchor our faith in shifting cultural headlines, political speculations, or Hollywood disclosures, we naturally end up twisting or adding to the truth to comfort our own anxieties.

The remedy to this isn't to look harder at the sky or try to decode current events; it is to look at the consistent, beautiful reality of the Incarnation. God didn't leave us alone with a checklist of future predictions or a message hidden in code. The grand arc of biblical prophecy has always pointed to one magnificent reality: Emmanuel, God physically with us.

When Jesus walked the earth, He didn't offer His followers abstract theories or wild metaphors; He physically touched the sick, healed the broken, and gave Himself completely to satisfy the deepest existential hunger of the human heart. The ultimate defense against deception isn't an internet education on the end times, but a lived intimacy with the Creator who promised never to abandon us to mere symbols. The ancient, historical path of faith has always kept its eyes fixed on the Lord God Jesus Christ—the living threshold where the transcendent God steps into our physical reality, transforming ordinary things into an overflowing well of divine life. When we are physically anchored in Him, the noise of the world loses its power to deceive.
