My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place.    (Jeremiah 50:6)
 

     Doves, the prophets of Babylon treat prophecy like a cafeteria line.  They take the passages they want, use them to validate their ideas, draw erroneous conclusions & then declare prophetic “truths”.  They ignore or reject passages that do not fit their interpretations.  

     

     The Cafeteria crowd is quick to disavow a prophetic mantle.  They are only a humble observer, a watcher, or a teacher.  They are always well-meaning, and they must never be seen to be a false prophet—especially when they are wrong.

 

      Cafeteria Prophets base their interpretations on spurious assumptions, fallacious reasoning, dubious scholarship, fanciful signs & portents, recollections of dreams, personal visions, earthly phenomena, emotions, feelings and the like.      

 

     Cafeteria Prophets teach prophecy without taking its responsibility.  It’s all about them, their mission, their thoughts & their wisdom.  They make merchandise out of God’s Word and out of us.  They are wolves in sheep’s clothing.

     

     Doves, don’t believe what any man or woman says is true about any Biblical prophecy without searching the matter out for yourself in prayerful study of the Word of God.

 

     When you seek truth, you will find it.  When you ask, you will be answered.  When you knock, the door will open.  These are Christ’s promises.

 

     Knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation. For prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.  (2 Peter 1:20-21)
