This is why he always leaves his “revelations” vague. He casts such a broad net that he could grab at any bit of news and say, “See, that’s what I was talking about!”

I have stated before that the God of the Bible speaks in specifics...not in lines of awkardly forced poetry.

He does not speak for God. I say this as a Christian who is concerned that the Church is forsaking its obligation to “test all things” and to “try the spirits.”

What in particular are you looking to see? God is omnipresent and manifests His power everywhere. He also comes in love and wisdom.

It is not going to be a cosmic event that destroys the earth. It will be a supernatural event which changes our view -- look for truth as you understand it, not factual declarations.

Today is the second day of creation and the second seal is opened.

The word of God does not come across as an incoherent ramble.

Oh, but you're supposed to "look into your heart" to check this out. "If you're spiritual" you would know that he's a prophet.

Bah! I know what the Bible says about my heart. And I know that the Bible talks a lot about false prophets ("I had a vision, I had a vision!") and false teachers.

I'll go with God's test:

20 But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.’
21 And if you say in your heart, ‘How may we know the word that the LORD has not spoken?’—
22 when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him.
