I also prophesied this and have posted it on my FB social media account (it's timestamped on February 13th, but I have the original emails if someone doubts me.)


I emailed this to Steve, pastor at The Rock Church, on May 15, 2022:

"Had a dream about Israel last night.
The whole land was up in arms and going crazy. The police were having some kind of stand-off with other police. It appeared like it was a union strike. Some of them were holding the line and some were discussing their grievances. It seemed like a civil war, but it was literally civil. They were mad at one another, but not attacking one another. The whole land was conflicted from end to end."


That's what has been happening over there.

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.
Do not listen or pay attention to those who say the gift of prophecy is no longer valid. The Lord will give you knowledge no one else have. Have others with the gift test what you share. Prophecy can come from others for your benefit to ponder. Keep in mind what I am talking about is knowledge of scriptures. Always a story underneath what you read on the surface. Kmow when not to waste yor time. The Lord is the one who opens the doors and it is also his timing. Not all scripture is directed at christians but we can learn from all scripture.

Jonchristian, I read what mostly you wrote. IMO I would not agree with any of it. But do not be discouraged, keep studying. May the Lord be with you

the spirit of prophecy from good is the lord not the individual.
False prophets are only people who have been deceived by a spirit of prophecy from unclean spirits.

One of those prochecies has deceived you all ready which is you can forfeit salvation

Your argument isn't with me but with God's word. So go ahead and deflect, it won't change His word.

There is no point in it because THERE ARE NO PROPHETS TODAY!

I did read it...
And what you are saying is plausible to be true.
At this point the prophesy is 17 years old.

So...
There are some issues surrounding it. Such as a short term prophesy and a mid term. (Things said so we the people know it to be valid)

And the place to run to....there is nowhere to run.
The league of 10 is currently only 9.

So there are a few gaps in what you are saying....not that I'm completely discounting everything you have said....just please fill in the gaps.

I'd rather have a thousand good things to tell you about Christ than to tell you what He plans to do to punish America.
That is certainly understandable... we have quite a number of members who spend
much of their time reporting on the sins of America and telling us the end is near
and America deserves what is coming because, well, because America has wandered
so far from embracing Biblical principles and living in a way that is pleasing to God.


Welcome back .:)

The truth about America is, if they had of stuck with us Brits they would be in a better place.

The only reason why America has national independence day is not because they beat the Brits in battle, but because our king at the time decided to call our troops out and let you have your independence so ship trading could continue,
I've got a copy of all the kings letters telling our troops to let you have your white house back.

There are no prophets today ?

Ummmm.....hate to break it to you but this is not exactly correct biblically speaking.

Prophesy is not solely limited to foretelling the future. It also includes calling of the faithful to be more faithful and forthtelling....the telling of the current situation.

Just about every preacher on the planet does that.

What you most likely are opposed to is a time of special signs and wonders that immediately followed Jesus's tour on Earth. There were healings and special forth telling of situations to create signs for people to know what was being said was true....that the Messiah had come.

Now this guy isn't telling things like most fore tellers do inside the church today of people getting successful careers or wealth and health. Far from it. Just the opposite. He is saying "game over".

People have been saying such things for over 100 years now. The Millerites were one of the most noted groups doing such things. Guess they were wrong eh? They were easy pickins for Laurie White. (founder of the SDA)

In the 1960's during the height of the Cold War people were indeed fearful. There were many street preachers saying similar things and on into the '70's because of the "sexual revolution" and the Proliferation of both birth control pills and the bipolar population being freed from federal mental hospitals. There were street preachers in EVERY city in America. Just like tent revival meetings.

The biggest difference is that this guy seems somewhat sane....he holds down a regular job. He also has not wavered in his message.

I'm not saying that he is right nor am I saying that he is wrong. Just that at this point I'm not convinced either way. But the things he has said ARE plausible. I'm nowhere near ready to grab my junk and leave yet...just a few more things and I will indeed jump ship AND make plans for returning to rebuild. Just the way things are.

God is not tame. He does what He wants how He wants and when He wants. (I've had that lesson pounded into me by the Big Guy on more than one occasion....trust me when I say that you do not want that kind of attention from God)

So....I get your doubt. So many phoneys on the internet it's ridiculous. It's definitely enough to paint a broad brush on all of them. But I worship the God of Hope....so I always Hope because I have Hope in Him.

oops no your Canadian still part of the British Embassy if I'm correct. 😊.
You did sound American for one minute tho lol.
I love Canada 😊
Canada first joined the British Commonwealth as an independent state in 1931. The Canada Act, also
called Constitution Act of 1982, Canada's constitution, was approved by the British Parliament on March
25, 1982, and proclaimed by Queen Elizabeth II on April 17, 1982, made Canada wholly independent.
