When you should be condemning those that are like unto the scribes and Pharisees, you instead condemn those that make up the church that have been redeemed by the blood of Christ. If you want to prophecy, prophecy against them and not the church. You falsely identify members of Christ's body as Pharisees and a harlot, and in doing so you take away and discredit the work That God is doing in the hearts of those He has imputed His righteousness by faith. In the scriptures you confuse the nation and people of Israel with the church and you ignore the blood of Christ that has cleansed the church from her sin and covered her through the mercy of Jesus Christ, the propitiator for her sins.
When you speak against the church you speak against Christ, her head. It is only for Christ to deal with her as her head, because He was the one who died and paid for all her sins. This is done on a local level through the delegated authority of the pastor/teachers as it was done in the Revelation to John and those seven churches. If you want to deal with the leaven of false doctrine, then teach the word and doctrine of Christ that will give every member of the church a capacity through grace to purge out their own leaven. Grace and mercy with sound doctrine will purge out the that old leaven of false doctrine and not some prophecy of impending judgment.

Not in those folds that are taught the word and sound doctrine daily. The wolves don't have a chance and neither do those that boast of being prophets and hearing the voice of God that condemns the church and scatters because they are not a gatherer. Those sheep that hear God's voice have their soul full of the word and doctrine and they know how to think with their shepherd because they know the doctrine of the shepherd and follow that doctrine. But these false prophets and/or teachers try to discourage the sheep from listening to sound doctrine and they try to put the sheep back into bondage to their sin by telling them they can not hear from the Spirit. What a load of you know what!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those who teach the Bible, but without the revelation is the most dangerous wolves! If someone does not speak of the Bible, the sheep can see it easily. But if someone says by the Bible but from the flesh, he is a wolf. And even if he had gathered a large group, it still destroys the flock and scatters it. Because it's flesh. Teaching may be biblical , but may be not from God. Wolf is recognized not by the Bible but by the Spirit!
