I wasn’t there.

The worship leader who’s the prophetic source asserted that

“The Lord showed me that . . . “

Beyond that, I don’t have anything further to add.

“The Lord showed me that . . . “

I generally have no real problem with people phrasing their spiritual experience with language such as "The Lord showed me..." That can be done through inductive or deductive Bible study. Where I part company with these "prophetic sources" is when they coach their prophetic statements with such language as "Thus saith the Lord" or "I am Christ". Invariably these people turn out to be false prophets and IMO they blaspheme God when they falsely presume to speak in His name.

The author of this "explosion" prophecy made the same prophecy a year ago.

Nothing happened.

I guess the 4th of July happened in between the two prophecies and you might say that on the 4th of July there was a "big explosion" somewhere in the US.

False prophets always have some way of rationalizing their false predictions. Maybe God changed his mind. Maybe you misunderstood. Maybe it was just a metaphor for something else that happened.

This same "prophet" last year predicted that the US was going to go through a season of horrible hurricanes.

But he was wrong.

There were virtually no hurricanes that did any significant damage in the last year. Both the "prophet" and the global warming doomsayers were wrong.

I don't give prophets a second chance to be wrong. The bible says that if a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord and what he predicts does not come to pass, he is a false prophet. There is no middle ground. You are either a true prophet, in which case you are NEVER wrong or you are a false prophet (in which case you may be right 99% of the time). I haven't seen a single "true" prophecy come from this source.

Can you point to a single prophecy posted on Free Republic by the author of this one that actually "came to pass?"
