Tweets - January 21st - Lying Prophets

The lies coming from these prophets have bothered me a bit today, just because honesty would be so much more useful and purposeful in this place. All I have been hearing is, "I got it wrong", "I missed the mark", "I messed up"; and I've been hearing bible verse after bible verse giving them permission to justify or disregard their lies, saying "God changed his mind" and pointing to the scripture. Chile, the simple truth is for children, and there are 2 simple truths here that anyone of them could have stated at anytime: 1) "I was lied to", or 2) "I made the shit up".

It doesn't seem likely to me that some lying flying devil would bother wasting time giving some prophecies to a bunch of prophets who already have thousands and millions of followers and congregants. These prophets just aren't worth a devil's effort. They already call a devil's inspired writings, "the word of God". To spend the effort on millions of already dying dead is pointless, especially since those psychopathic devils have more foresight in such matters - and being truthful about Trump, I imagine, would have served a greater purpose (whatever that may have been).

So this leaves us with simple truth 2. A Trump prophecy is a crystal ball, short-sighted, 50/50 chance prophecy. This means that God's prophets are nothing more than worthless near-sighted fortune tellers who tack on "Jesus" to their psychic predictions. Should we think that this is the best that God can do? Is this all that God could come up with? Perpetuating and glorifying these lies with a coat of white paint is the same as saying, "Yes, this is the very best that God can do".

These prophets are like Elijah, who trusted in the power of man, calling such things "the power of God" - and they reference Elijah often in their sermons. 

2 Kings 10: "Know then that there shall fall to the earth nothing of the word of Yahweh, which Yahweh spoke concerning the house of Ahab, for Yahweh has done what He spoke through His servant Elijah." So Jehu killed all who remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men and his acquaintances and his priests, until he left him without a survivor... When he came to Samaria, he killed all who remained to Ahab in Samaria, until he had destroyed him, according to the word of Yahweh which He spoke to Elijah... Yahweh said to Jehu, "Because you have done well in executing what is right in My eyes, and have done to the house of Ahab according to all that was in My heart, your sons of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel."

But Hosea was nothing like Elijah, understanding that God's power belongs to God. Hosea wasn't near-sighted and fearful like Christian prophet Elijah (who insisted on doing God's work for a God who does absolutely nothing but dole out commands and psychic predictions).

Hosea was a poet and a revolutionary who spoke from his own understanding of the power and wisdom of God (as these are gifts from God, and not something one could assume themselves). Jewish prophets made it tradition to speak as God in the first person. They were speaking to a violent generation who refused to cling to justice and human decency. Hosea took great offense at the violence in Jezreel, but this was his understanding and incredible foresight:

Hosea 1: "Yahweh said to Hosea, "Go, take to yourself a wife of harlotry and have children of harlotry; for the land commits flagrant harlotry, forsaking Yahweh." So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son. And Yahweh said to him, "Name him Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will punish the house of Jehu for the bloodshed of Jezreel, and I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel. "On that day I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel."

These prophets are nothing like Hosea and they do not understand God, nor God's power, justice nor human decency. Taking made up shit and shoving it into God's mouth does not make one a prophet of God. They speak for themselves, their own imagination, and for their own desires. God has never said anything more to them than, "You're on your own" - which they understand plainly and clearly enough to take personal offense with folk who mock a worthless prophecy they know came from their own heads.
