How bad does it hurt Christianity when people make false prophecies about the Coming of the Lord? In my opinion, it makes people more likely not to listen to any warnings. I know for a fact that people, especially lost ones, are becoming very hardened to any talk of the last days. What really bothers me is, the false prophets ignore the statement by Christ that no one knows the day or hour. However, the false prophets claim that they can know, which is calling Christ Jesus a liar.
Therefore, the high profile professing Christians, some who are repeat offenders, who have made prophecies about the Rapture or Second Coming not only owe the Body of Christ an apology, but they need to repent and apologize to Christ for calling Him a liar. Further, they need to pledge not to engage in false prophesying again.
There are no codes in the Bible that predict the Coming of Christ. Further, there is no numerology and no festivals, holidays, events, or hints of the Illuminati, that give us the means to predict the Second Coming. Anyone that says that there is, no matter how connivingly they crunch the numbers and twist the dates, they have but one goal in what they do: they wish to become rich and famous for doing what Christ explicitly declared they could not do. What a goal! I cannot imagine someone filled with the Holy Spirit wishing to become wealthy and popular by disobedience to God.
I firmly believe that we will witness signs that the Coming of the Lord is near. Christ informed us about some of those signs. However, they are not given so that we can predict the date and get our picture and name on the cover of some magazine for having done what Christ said we could not do. They are given to put us on full alert in a time of great deception, delusion, and apostasy. We are not to take those signs and begin playing prophesy games, writing books to bring attention to ourselves as having special gnosis. That has the opposite effect of what God intended by giving us general information. Thus, they not only call Christ a liar, but they undermine God’s word that is meant to alert His people.
Recognize that none of the false prophets claim special gnosis from God, but promote themselves as being clever enough to outsmart God, to crack His secrets, and “spill the beans” to the entire world.
“No one knows the day or hour” is the same as “thou shalt not predict the day or hour”. That does not mean, “I have hidden the secret. Therefore, thou who art wiser than thy brethren shalt work thy more excellent wisdom to crack the code.” What measure and type of reward do they expect for this tomfoolery when they stand before the Awesome and Righteous God Almighty?
I’m calling on Jonathan Cahn, John Hagee (both repeat offenders) and the other ones, plus everyone who supported them, to repent. If they say or write (and they are already doing this), “We made a minor miscalculation and must reset the date,” it is evidence that they are not being led by the Holy Spirit who does not make mistakes. Instead, it is evidence that they are working from their carnal minds for vain honor and glory (not to mention money). In that case, completely reject these individuals as the “spots” that they are.
Please know that I am very serious about these egregious offenses and the people who commit them. Anyone who posts quotes by them on my FB pages other than as satire may be challenged to consider who they are supporting.
