"Prophets"


Shalom All:

You know how the codes in the Bible confrim the event AFTER the fact BUT one can't use the codes for "future"-telling.

I believe that satan/demons/fallen angels do know quite a bit of what is going to happen at the end of this Age BUT that they were "thrown-out" from YHVH's Command-Central before they could learn ALL of what will happen at the end of this Age.  I believe YHVH has surprised even for them.  But with what they DO KNOW, they try to use to their advantage.

I remember how the apostle Paul was followed by that poor demon-possessed woman who continually told the crowd to listen to these men becasue they were servants of the Most High.  She was correct in what she said but Paul didn't need the enemy confirming who he was OR putting HIM in the spot-light when he wanted the spot-light on Yeshua!

Balam of the Old Testament was hired to curse Israel but YHVH used HIM to speak blessing over Israel!

When one speaks what they believe is from "god", those of us who hear that word must know what "god" that speaker believes in and serves.  That means WE have to know which "god" we want to hear from!

I want to hear from YHVH, The Creator, The Father of Yeshua.  With that in mind, I would be surprised to hear messages that center on humans, making them the center of attention.  I would also be surprised to hear YHVH repeating Himself.  If I were to "parrot" what is written in The Word I certainly wouldn't call myself a prophet!

And I would also be very surprised to hear words that don't counsel one to "turn" the heart to reject sin and embrace righteousness.  However, wrathful exhortation WITHOUT mention of the mercy which YHVH extends us through Yeshua would also surprise me.

Today (yesterday when this gets posted) is the last day of Feast of Tabernacles as YHVH defined it.  The eight day (when I believe Yeshua was circumcised) and the ninth day were added by the Jews.  The feasts remain for me timeless "prophets".
