What a bunch of nonsense.

A self-proclaimed prophet means nothing.

All that vague mumbo-jumbo is meaningless. It is making no prophecies, certainly nothing that can ever be tested and either verified or proved false. It allows an out for being nailed as a false prophet because there's no way to determine whether what you are speaking came true or not.

Give us something specific. Like the time and date of the nest earthquake, or the outcome of the next election, or the next verified healing. We'll see if it comes to pass.

Deuteronomy 18:15-22 15 “The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers—it is to him you shall listen— 16 just as you desired of the LORD your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, when you said, ‘Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God or see this great fire any more, lest I die.’ 17

And the LORD said to me, ‘They are right in what they have spoken. 18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. 19 And whoever will not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him. 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.

These are poor imitations that even lack needed commas.
