Yes, that's the Scripture.

And, I agree with your interpretation.

However, it remains that the letter of what Samuel said was not overtly fulfilled that day. We can say it was fulfilled in the spiritual realm quite reasonably.

But IF I'd given that explanation for an interpretation of a modern prophetic prediction of a similar sort that was fulfilled in the spiritual realm but NOT overtly until 24 years later literally--then you all en masse would immediately jump at the idea that the modern prophet should be stoned as a false prophet because his prediction had not been fulfilled THAT DAY as stated.

And you know that you would do so as you've done similarly repeatedly on such threads.

Your lack of . . . consistency . . . is disturbing and disappointing.

There are many valid, Scriptural, Biblical, righteous reasons such as the example in Samuel that a prediction doesn't come true.

There's another one in Jonah's case. His prediction of destruction for Ninevah didn't come true because they repented. Jonah was indignant. The fact remained that his prediction did not come true. Yet, he was not a false prophet. You all would not allow such an explanation in any modern case.

And you know it.

I just wish to expose that glaring inconsistency.
