You have touched on a pet peeve of mine, so let me express my opinion (thanks, for that). Here goes...
“Is it that their words were not from God, or they were driven by emotions and sentiments? If they did not hear from God, why are they saying that it was God who told them to speak?”
Mainly because they are false prophets that are raking in millions in donations for telling people what they “want” to hear (itching ears). A lot of the stuff the false prophets are spewing comes straight from QAnon. PsyOps BS. But if they told people the truth about the real state of the nation.... people would be “less inclined” to fork over those $$$ and would, instead, hold onto their money for the coming collapse and end times tribulation.
“...but the election was somehow stolen by Tinubu. Now, if this were the case, shouldn’t their prophecies have included this key detail?”
Yes, since God is omniscient and all-knowing. But they would have you believe otherwise, and that God either changed his mind or that the believers’ faith just wasn’t “strong enough” ....yet. Or that God was waiting for more corruption to be exposed.
It’s the same with the “stolen election” in the USA in 2020. The false prophets all claimed that ‘our enemies are defeated’ and that Trump would win. When he didn’t, they proceeded to claim that Trump would be “reinstated”...according to what God told them. They lied and keep lying because that’s what brings them their cash. Lying grifters, all. And they should be grateful that they are in this century and not back in the days of Moses, where they would be put to death for their blasphemies and leading people astray.
The false prophets would have you believe that God’s word is in constant flux. It is not. Only theirs is. Because they are LYING....in God’s name.
I think it notable that the ‘gift’ of prophecy seems to have been a curse as far as how the lives of the GENUINE prophets turned out.
In a way it is kind of an intensified symbolism of being “chosen”- *not* anything a person would desire, but instead a terrible burden and perilous duty.
If there is genuine prophecy today, I doubt it is being done by people in $2000 suits flying around on private jets on their TV shows.
Real prophets are never wrong and seldom if ever tell people what they WANT to hear.
