Sure, but also consider that there is a pretty detailed description of the many travails that would occur during the end times in the book of Revelation. There’s only one place in that book that even mentions a flood, and it’s pretty clearly a symbolic passage, not a description of some type of calamity.
The coming troubles might include some floods and tsunamis, but to predict that the waters of the earth are going to rise just seems to run counter to REAL prophecies in the Bible, such as this one, for example:
“3Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.”
The calamity which men need be concerned with doesn’t seem to have so much to do with WATER as it does with FIRE.
Quite a number of prophetic sources . . . IIRC, some not even Christian . . .
have asserted that a global event will occur causing seas to wash up extensively on shores all around the world.
The mountain into the sea of Biblical prediction might do it.
The massive world wide quake of Biblical END TIMES prediction would likely do it.
Jedediah is quite in keeping with a host of other prophetic sources AS WELL AS SCRIPTURE on these scores.
It’s amazing how ignorant of such things the blood thirsty bucket brigade has been so quickly.
Leaves me wondering about some heart motives.

Not in my book, by a good margin.
Ahhhh . . . so your rubber ‘Bible’ doesn’t have Thesalonians either?
Are you a REPLACEMENTARIAN, TOO?
Study the NT VS OT standards on such.
Certainly I believe God wants His prophets to speak flawlessly as He instructs.
I believe we’ll see that day. I haven’t seen it yet.
I’ve missed it. Many of the best known internationally have missed it. YET THEY HAVE NOT MISSED IT 1000’S OF TIMES to great benefit for thousands of people.
Discount that all you want. Those thousands of people have had their lives brought closer to God; become Saved; healed, delivered, matured in The Lord because of those prophecies.
Trash them at your own risk.
worshipping false gods?
Oh, right . . . like REPLACEMENTARIANS et al lead folks to do.
So . . .
the PERSONAL EXPERIENCES of the naysayers y’all are familiar with . . . just how
EXPERIENCED
with prophetic utterances and giftings
comprises . . . how many years?
. . . how many utterances?
. . . to what sort of results?
“Quite a number of prophetic sources . . . IIRC, some not even Christian . . .”
Not even Christian...
Unless you are speaking of Old Testament sources, don’t you think that this is giving heed to false prophecies from the Devil?
“The mountain into the sea of Biblical prediction might do it.”
What verse are you siting as a “Biblical prediction” of a mountain into the sea? I only know of a verse where Christ used this as an illustration of the power of faith, not as a prophecy meant to be taken literally.
“The massive world wide quake of Biblical END TIMES prediction would likely do it.”
Doubtless a worldwide quake would cause tsunamis, but tsunamis don’t cause the sea level to rise. That would require an influx of water from somewhere, as happened in the days of Noah.
Now sea levels do change gradually all the time, there’s evidence they have risen quite a bit in the last few hundred years. If he’s merely predicting a continuation of a gradual natural process however, that doesn’t make him much more of a prophet than your local weatherman.
“Jedediah is quite in keeping with a host of other prophetic sources AS WELL AS SCRIPTURE on these scores.”
Cite them then, so we can examine your proofs and test him against them, if they be valid sources for Christians to give credence to.
“It’s amazing how ignorant of such things the blood thirsty bucket brigade has been so quickly.”
It’s amazing to me how quick some are to believe someone who calls themself a prophet, when the Lord has warned us quite clearly to be wary of wolves in sheep’s clothing.
WOW
TALK about wild-haired extrapolations and inferences . . .
not to mention wild haired biases and hostilities.
Sometimes
it seems like there’s a deliberate, if not co-ordinated attack of such comments by ‘naysayers’ for the sole purpose of getting a thread they disagree with locked.
ABSOLUTELY BIBLICALLY CORRECT.
And the nonPentecostal preachers and teachers are as off the wall UNBiblical and heretically lead folks astray AT LEAST as often as Pentecostal folks do.
The double standard is incredible.
According to YOUR rules, I see.
I gather you’ve never had a hunch you felt was probably mostly from the Lord but weren’t sure.
LOL.
Still chafing against the Scriptural standard while pretending to appeal to a Scriptural standard?
What hubris.
I’ve found The Lord’s ministry through Jedediah in my life, to the best of my memory—to be flawlessly accurate.
INDEED.
Though clearly some are not REALLY interested in Scripture, only in trashing those dissimilar to themselves.
INDEED.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
STILL
TRYING AGGRESSIVELY
TO CONFORM THE FR RELIGION FORUM
TO THE VATICAN’S IMAGE AND HIP POCKET, I see.
Soooooooooooooooooooooo impressive.

“Ahhhh . . . so your rubber ‘Bible’ doesn’t have Thesalonians either?”
My Bible isn’t made of rubber, but it does include both 1 and 2 Thessalonians. Are you referencing the passage in the first which begins “As it was in the days of Noah...” to prove a coming flood?
“Are you a REPLACEMENTARIAN, TOO?”
I’m not sure, could you define that “word”? Are you referring to “Replacement Theology”? If so, then no I don’t ascribe to their views.
INDEED.
However, for some, that would entail laying aside their
self-righteousness
getting off the throne of their heart and installing Jesus there.
Many seem quite unwilling to pay that price.
