ACTUALLY,
most prophetic folks I know have been through a LOT of refiner’s fires.
They are likely much more acquainted with the fire of Holy Spirit than any of the rabid RC’s I know hereon.
However, that’s likely to change . . . sooner for some . . . and much sooner for one . . . some very educational experiences are set to flood across the Body of Christ and particularly those who are more pretense than substance.

Most of the false prophets that I have met have been through something which is either an imbalance in themselves or else came from a bottle or a syringe.
Indeed. I'm often inclined to think the very same thing! Though my mere suspicions in this regard would hardly make me "prophetic." Neither would yours. Neither would Jedediah's. Besides, much of what you folks use to determine your timeframe for "soon to occur" events is way off the mark, at least from the standpoint of the entire history of Christianity before the mid-1800s I'd rather let God determine His own timetables. My own death will be followed immediately by my own personal Last Judgment. The General Judgment is but a reprise of all the individual ones. I am in no hurry to hasten it. If I live to see the Second Coming (and, I'll be honest, I often wonder just how much time we have left), great! If not, well, I'll still see the whole thing unfold anyway, and very possibly with a far better view and understanding of The Big Picture.
Meanwhile, I'd rather pray for God's forbearance, that the world might have more time to earnestly and sincerely repent and follow Him. The eagerness of some people to hasten the End Times in order to escape them via the Rapture (or, rather, what they misapprehend concerning the Rapture) is a function of a repellent and severely self-absorbed attitude.
