What is the point in being a prophet?

I know this is my first thread, but I came to this site to ask people's opinions.

God has called me to be a prophet, but I don't understand the point of it. What good is it to know what is going to happen? What good is it to tell people what's going to happen?

When I do tell people what is going to happen, they don't believe me and they come up with any explanation they can to say that what God has shown me will happen won't happen.

Deuteronomy 18:21,22 gives the test of a prophet: "[SUP]21 [/SUP]You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord?” [SUP]22 [/SUP]If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed." I will pass that test when what God has shown me comes to pass. The only problem is that when what I say comes to pass, there will not be anyone alive or on this forum to verify it.

Even the most devout Christians on this forum will not be able to accept what I have to say. God is going to do a thing so great and terrible that you cannot even fathom it, let alone accept it. And again I ask, what good is it for me to tell anyone? I fear, and think I know deep down in my heart, that God has raised me up to be the unheard prophet: a raving madman preaching from the street corner about what He is going to do and that no one will listen or heed my warning. And then it will be too late.

My prophecy is the testimony of Jesus Christ and what He has shown me will come to pass.

oh you're going to have SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun here, I'm sure

GOD when HE who holds all things back, when HE is taken out of the way, those who did not grow up into their most HOLY FAITH, will be listening to every and other "voice/spirit" who will please their "itchy ears".

Especially in a time of trouble and turmoil like none other...

Then many will (who have not grown up into the HEAD and all knowledge of the SON of GOD) look to and listen to the false prophet who will promise soothing words that will appeal to worldly man who will be looking for any type of "healing" from the troubles which will come in that time...and then when the false christ comes, who will ooh and ahh many with false signs and wonders, those who did not know THE LORD, will look to this type of savior who will offer a different type of "salvation" which will only be temporal...

My prophecy is the testimony of Jesus Christ and what He has shown me will come to pass.

1) what a prophet says doesn't always 'come to pass' (remember Jona) a prophet's a man of God not a heathen soothsayer. 2) Don't forget everything you say (or any other christian for that matter) needs the test of scripture (1 Thes 5:21), you can't just claim your testimony's from God.

(which probably no one on this forum will be alive to witness.)

I'm heading to work now. I have a long day. When I get home, I'll tell you the prophecy in short, and if you're so inclined, I'll tell you to the full prophecy as it is revealed in the Word of the Living God.

I'm not better than any of you. I'm a man of no reputation. A loser in the measure of worldly things. I do not think what God has shown me makes me better than anyone on here, so please don't think I think I'm special because of this. Everyone has their calling in Christ and mine is not one to be envied.

Take your time, in fact feel free to work late....

Oh, Jonah's words did come to pass, sir.
It's just that not all who are led by GOD'S SPIRIT can see the HIDDEN THINGS of GOD that can only be known by HIS SPIRIT

Why did you think CHRIST said, The secrets of the kingdom are not given to all?

Are you implying that is what I'm here to do? Because it isn't.

I think you've shown yourself very presumptuous in knowing the full will of God or His intentions.

What God has shown me is in no way a message of healing or hope in worldly things, except in His return (which probably no one on this forum will be alive to witness.)

God's warning to Nineveh was just that, a warning. But the people repented so the prophecy DIDN'T come to pass. A prophet isn't a soothsayer, in the sense that he literally predicts the future like the heathens tried to do, no, he's there to show the people the error of their ways, in God's name. Ultimately God's a merciful God.
