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.

You asked, What is the point of being a prophet...what good is it to tell people of the future? I must ask you, What do you believe a prophet is?
Yes, prophecy does entail prophecy of future events, but that is not what prophecy is. Prophecy is the proclamation of what God has told you to say. Prophets are not simply called to tell the future. They are men who have heard to voice of God and they do and say what God commands them to so His those God chooses to hear His message may know His will and ways.
You ask, what good is it to be a prophet. I would say that if you have not heard from God and if He has not made this known to you then you are no prophet of His.
Seek the Lord. Test the spirits. And above all, glorify the Lord and His son Jesus.

So I don't have to read the whole thread, was there a post where the OP actually prophesied a future event?

I took my sign to Milwaukee Monday and held it up at the Protest against the RNC the leftists were holding. Then I went and held it outside the RNC security gate on the Kilbourn Ave bridge for all the Republicans attendees to see.

The next day I took it to downtown Chicago and held it up a block away from Willis Tower on the Adams Street bridge.

I go to witness and share Christ with a lot of people through my sign.

Is this why there were 5 tornadoes in Chicago Monday?

House Republicans say Biden must resign after ending reelection campaign


House Republicans are calling on President Biden to resign from office after he announced that he would no longer seek reelection, arguing that he should not continue to serve in the White House if he is unable to run for another term.

The comments — several of which were from House GOP leadership — came shortly after Biden said he was withdrawing from the 2024 presidential race, a seismic announcement that rocked the political world and left the path forward for Democrats uncertain.

“If Joe Biden is not fit to run for President, he is not fit to serve as President. He must resign the office immediately,” Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) wrote on the social platform X. “November 5 cannot arrive soon enough.”

“If the Democrat party has deemed Joe Biden unfit to run for re-election, he’s certainly unfit to control our nuclear codes. Biden must step down from office immediately,” House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (Minn.), the No. 3 Republican in the chamber, wrote on X.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (N.Y.), the chair of the House GOP conference, echoed that sentiment, arguing that he is “unable and unfit” to complete his term.

...Biden announced he was stepping aside from the Democratic presidential ticket in a letter to the country Sunday afternoon

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."

This was what, 8-9 months before Israel started their strikes against the judicial reform? They're practically on the verge of a civil war right now. It looks over there exactly what I saw in my dream.
