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.
Exactly right. Real prophets told the truth....ie not what people wanted to hear. That’s a clear differentiation from what the false prophets of today are spewing.
The ironic part is.... I would love for them to be right and for their false prophecies to actually occur. But I know the Bible and God’s word and it is NOT what they are spreading. Meanwhile, Satan laughs from the sidelines while millions are deceived and led astray, some losing their faith when these “predictions” don’t come true. Raising false hope can drive people to take their own lives when those hopes come crashing down. It is demonic what these false pastors are doing.
