ELIJAH : WHERE ARE THE TRUE PROPHETS? : PART 2

Proof Of The Prophet's Ministry, The Age Of Faith And Grace,
Unity Versus Exclusivity, The Danger Of Keeping Statistics
In part one of this article, I used some of the Old and New
Testament examples to show how the Lord had called certain
people into unique service for Him. This usually involved
some clear physical signs in order to increase that person's
faith, and to confirm the Lord's calling. In his second
letter to Timothy, the Apostle Paul warned of coming times
in which false prophets and false teachers would arise. He
also pointed out that this would happen because this is
exactly what the people would want; that is, they would
purposely want to be decieved. In light of this, I wish to
call to your attention how Paul ended this particular series
of verses:
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound
doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to
themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall
turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned
unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure
afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof
of thy ministry." (2 Timothy 4:3-5)
Notice Paul's closing remarks; 'make full proof of thy
ministry.' That is a rather interesting phrase. How does one
make full proof of his ministry? It may be that what Paul
was saying to Timothy was that because a time was going to
come in which there would be a lot of deceivers, Timothy was
going to have to really be yielded to the Lord so that the
Lord could use him to the fullest. In other words, the Lord
was going to use Timothy to do great miracles which would
even outshine the miracles of his enemies. This would not
only prove that Timothy was a true servant of God, but it
would also help him in his ministry of winning souls to the
Lord.
If we think back for a moment to the events of the Old
Testament, we can see that great Prophets like Moses and
Elijah certainly did make full proof of their ministries.
The Lord proved beyond a shadow of a doubt through the many
plagues upon Egypt, as well as by the many miracles which
followed in the wilderness, that Moses was indeed His man
for the hour; even if the older generation continued to
doubt. When it failed to rain for three and a half years in
Israel, and when the four hundred and fifty false prophets
of Baal were slain, there were very few who doubted that the
Spirit of the Living God was upon the Prophet Elijah. The
Spirit of the Lord was so heavy upon the Prophet Samuel,
that at one point, when Samuel went to anoint David as the
new king, the Elders of Bethlehem inquired of Samuel:
"...Comest thou peaceably?" (1 Samuel 16:4b)
As I explain in "Are The Gifts Of The Spirit For Today?',
this is one of the reasons why certain people are given the
Gifts of the Spirit. They are the physical proof and
confirmation of a Prophet or Apostle's ministry and Divine
Calling from the Lord. However, they are only the means to
an end. For example; Divine Healing isn't just to heal
people's bodies; but rather it is to serve as a powerful
testimony of the existence of the Almighty God. Miracles
such as Healing are suppose to boost people's faith so that
they will come to believe in and accept Jesus Christ as
their Lord and Saviour. When Jesus healed the people of
ancient Israel, He was not only proving the existence of the
Father, but He was also proving that He came from the Father
to present His Body as the Perfect Sacrifice of Love for the
sins of the world. At this current time, as back then, the
Lord is primarily interested in our spiritual Salvation, and
not so much in the physical Salvation of our sick bodies;
although He may provide that as well as an added bonus of
our believing in Him. For most Christians, the Salvation of
the body will come later at the Resurrection of the Dead
when we are all changed:
"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but
we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an
eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the
dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be
changed." (1 Corinthians 15:51-52)
It is for this very reason that, although my personal health
isn't the best in the world, I just keep on praising the
Lord; because I know that someday, hopefully soon, I am
going to turn in this tired old body for a brand new Super
Deluxe Model which will be free of the aches and the pains I
must now endure.
As we saw earlier, one of the basic requirements for one to
be considered a true Prophet of God, is that he accurately
predicts futuristic events. These must not be something
which he was able to guess through scientific reasoning; or
through comparing statistics and figuring out probabilities;
or by looking at past records and trends in order to make an
educated guess as to where things might be heading. This is
basically what stock market analysts, political analysts,
meterologists and some of these so-called psychics do. There
are a lot of charlatans in the world; and they come in all
kinds of varieties. One of their tricks of the trade is to
state their predictions in very general terms so that when
certain events do happen, it will appear as if they were
accurate in their prognostications. These people have
absolutely nothing to do with the true Spirit of God. What
they do is either hi-tech wizardry, or else it is inspired
by the Forces of Darkness. The predictions of the true
Prophet of God must involve events which could not possibly
have been predicted by any other means than through the
direct intervention of God's Spirit; and they will be very
accurate. In one way or another, these predictions will
bring forth positive fruit for the Kingdom of God; and they
will be the proof of the Prophet's ministry and Divine
Calling. Consider what the Prophet Ezekiel wrote:
"And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then
shall they know that a prophet hath been among them."
(Ezekiel 33:33)
Jesus Himself likewise made very clear at the end of the
Gospel of Mark, that the word and the work of the true
Disciples and Prophets of the Lord will be confirmed, or
proved, by great signs which will follow, or accompany,
them:
"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach
the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is
baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be
damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In
my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with
new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink
any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay
hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then after the
Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven,
and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and
preached every where, the Lord working with them, and
confirming the word with signs following. Amen."
(Mark 16:15-20)
Notice that Jesus specifically says '...these signs shall
follow them that believe...', and then in the final verse we
see the fulfillment of His Words in the phrase '...and
confirming the word with signs following...' Again, I
encourage you to read 'Are The Gifts Of The Spirit For
Today?' as I include many Scriptures which highlight the
signs Jesus is referring to in the above set of verses. One
of the main points I emphasize in that article is that the
Gifts of the Spirit are still in existence today. That being
the case, and considering the Scriptural evidence I have
provided in this current article, it seems to me that anyone
who makes the bold claim of being the Endtime Elijah, such
as Mark John Allen, or of being THE Endtime Prophets of God,
such as Father David and Maria, should have some mighty
signs following after them to confirm and prove their work
exactly as the Lord did with all of His past leaders of the
Church. Where then are the signs and miracles which have
confirmed the lofty positions to which these people have
appointed themselves?
Some people might argue, 'Well, what does it matter? We are
currently living in the Age of Faith and Grace, so we don't
need any signs anymore.' To a certain point, I can agree
with that thought. Personally, I can honestly say that I
have never witnessed any kind of a great miracle of the Lord
during my lifetime. I have never witnessed any kind of
Divine Healing. I have never seen fire fall from the sky. I
have never seen the Red Sea or the Jordan River part. I have
never seen a person raised from the dead. Despite this lack
of physical evidence, I still believe, because I have chosen
to believe of my own free will. I don't need these things to
boost my faith in the Lord. Just looking at the blue sky and
the white billowy clouds, and the beautiful green trees is
enough to convince me that He is real. As Paul wrote:
"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the
world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that
are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they
are without excuse:" (Romans 1:20)
While I have never witnessed what you might refer to as
major miracles, I do witness and am thankful for the small
ones which occur in my life every single day; such as having
food to eat, clothes to wear, a house to live in, a soft bed
to sleep in at night, protection from violence and evil men,
etc. These are small miracles and blessings which the Lord
uses to show me that He loves me and cares for me. That is
all I need, and I am happy for it. Lord help us not to be
like the Scribes and the Pharisees who were constantly
asking Jesus for signs of His Messiahship:
"Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered,
saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. But he
answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous
generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be
given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:"
(Matthew 12:38-39)
There is also a subtle danger is stating that we live in an
Age of Faith and Grace, because it seems to present a
logical excuse for why we no longer see great miracles in
our current day. In a way, it lets the false prophets off
the hook, because they can then continue to deceive the
people without having to prove that they are truly Prophets
of God. They can tell their followers, 'What do you need
signs for? Where is your faith?' The fact of the matter is,
that even during Jesus' time, they were living in the Age of
Faith and Grace. They had to have faith in Jesus as the Son
of God, and accept the Grace of God through believing in Him
just as we do today. In fact, one would think that it would
have been much easier for them to believe because they
actually saw the miracles; and that is precisely my point.
Even though they had to believe by faith, the Lord still
gave them the signs and the miracles; His Apostles still
gave them the signs and the miracles, and even some of their
Disciples after them continued to give them the signs and
the miracles. This is all shown in 'Are The Gifts Of The
Spirit For Today?'. Why then should the self-styled prophets
of today be exempt from having to prove that their callings
are of the Lord?
Returning to the topic of The Family, while Father David
spoke in tongues, as do many Christians, Paul clearly states
that this is one of the least of the Gifts of the Spirit:
"I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye
prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that
speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church
may receive edifying...I thank my God, I speak with tongues
more than ye all: Yet in the church I had rather speak five
words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach
others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue."
(1 Corinthians 14:5, 18-19)
Based on my knowledge of his ministry, Father David did
claim to possess the Gift of Prophecy; however, as I have
already shown, he made a few major predictions which have
not come to pass; and we already know how we are supposed to
react to such false prophecies. We are to avoid such people
and disregard what they say, because it is clearly not of
the Lord. In my mind, it is a very serious matter to say
'Thus saith the Lord'; and some of these self-appointed
prophets do it all the time. While Father David was a
wonderful teacher in regards to the Word of God; and while
as a leader he inspired many of his followers to win
literally thousands of souls to the Lord, based on the
criteria in the Bible, I still have a difficult time
accepting his claim of being THE Prophet of the Endtime.
Where are the fulfilled prophecies of this Endtime Prophet?
This brings us to a final point on this particular issue.
Perhaps I am wrong, but it seems to be that if we are not
currently witnessing many true miracles and great signs and
wonders within the so-called Christian world, then I don't
believe that it is because the Lord has withdrawn His
Spirit, but rather because those who claim to be His
Prophets and Emissaries do not really have His Spirit, or
else they do not possess the faith that they should have.
Remember again what Jesus said in Matthew chapter
twenty-four:
"...Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find
faith on the earth?" (Luke 18:8b)
Returning for a moment to the recruitment techniques of The
Family, it seems to me that with this rigid requirement to
accept the Bergs as Endtime prophets in order to qualify as
Disciple Only members, they are placing an insurmountable
obstacle before those who might have a sincere desire to
serve the Lord within their organization. One must truly
question if the Bergs want their followers to serve the
Lord, or rather to serve them? In one sense, we can view
this stiff requirement as a good thing. Hopefully it will
cause some potential disciples of theirs to wake up before
it is too late. On the other hand, if they do win some new
converts, it will be a clear sign that these converts have
been heavily deluded by the false claims of The Family.
Another question which arises in my mind is this: Should
this requirement be understood to mean that David Berg and
his wife Maria are the only Endtime prophets; or does it
simply mean that they count themselves as two of many
Christians who have sincerely dedicated themselves to the
Lord's service in these Last Days? If the answer is the
former, then clearly the Bergs are guilty of the very same
spirit of exclusivity which we have already seen in these
other men. They have placed themselves on the same level as
the Roman Catholic church which requires that its members
adore the pope like a god; or like the Mormons who require
that their members respect and obey the edicts of their
so-called twelve apostles, or like any other worldly
religious structure whose leaders place themselves between
God and man. Remember again the words of the Apostle Paul;
there is only one Mediator; and that is the man Christ
Jesus.
In thinking about this spirit of exclusivity which has
gripped so many churches, organizations and individuals
within the Christian world for literally centuries now, I am
reminded of a few other things from the early days of The
Family, when it was still known as the Children of God. In
the early seventies, one of the sons of David Berg, named
Aaron, wrote a popular song called 'We Are The 144,000'.
This extremely self-righteous song proclaimed in part 'We
are the 144,000; who else, could be but us?' This is the
very same claim made by the Jehovah's Witnesses; and the
Lord only knows how many other churches and groups do this
very same thing. So again we see how Satan, the author of
confusion, is clearly having a wonderful time pitting one
Christian against another. As I recall, when David Berg
became aware of this song, he quickly put a stop to it and
banned it from being sung within the group. I believe he
made a remark to the affect that some of their members
should feel fortunate if they happen to find themselves
amongst the 144,000. If nothing else, this incident serves
to highlight the degree of exclusivity and isolation to
which some churches and organizations will go.
As another example of the extreme exclusivity found within
the Family, in the early days, Father David boasted in some
of his writings, 'We are the only nation upon this Earth
that God recognizes!' Whether he was referring only to the
Children of God, or to the worldwide body of born-again
Christian believers in general, is a matter of speculation.
I believe he meant the former. While I truly understand and
agree with some of the motivations which cause some of these
religious organizations to isolate their members from the
world, I am also concerned about the way in which they go to
the extreme in setting up themselves as being the only ones
who are bearers of the true Word of God. This seems to run
totally contrary to sound Biblical doctrine. When some of
Jesus' Disciples tried to stop a certain man from preaching
the Gospel because he wasn't counted among the Lord's
immediate followers, Jesus immediately showed them the error
of their ways by saying:
"...Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for
us." (Luke 9:50b)
This incident clearly reveals that Satan has been using the
same divisive tricks for literally thousands of years. It is
this same spirit of exclusivity which has deluded many
churches, organizations, and individuals into thinking that
they are God's only chosen voice for the hour; and that they
are the only ones with the proper interpretation of the
Scriptures, or some new truth, or whatever it is their claim
may be. As can be seen, Jesus simply did not tolerate this
attitude of exclusivity. The writer of Ecclesiastes spoke an
eternal truth when he wrote:
"The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and
that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is
no new thing under the sun." (Ecclesiastes 1:9)
Contrary to the divisive spirit of exclusivity which is
promoted by Satan, the Author of Confusion, Jesus prayed
that the exact opposite would occur amongst His followers.
He prayed that we would all be joined together as one in
doctrine and purpose, with Himself as our only Shepherd:
"And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them
also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there
shall be one fold, and one shepherd." (John 10:16)
"And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the
world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine
own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be
one, as we are...That they all may be one; as thou, Father,
art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us:
that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the
glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may
be one, even as we are one:" (John 17:11, 21-22)
While the Lord prayed that there would be one Fold and one
Shepherd, He was not referring to some human leader over
some elitist human organization like Herbert W. Armstrong
and the Worldwide Church of God, or Father David and The
Family, or the Pope and the Roman Catholic church; He was
referring to Himself as that Shepherd, with the worldwide
Body of Christian Believers as His Fold. Through some of
these religions and organizations, it appears as if Satan
wants to set up himself, via some human spiritual leader, as
the False Shepherd upon this Earth; and that is precisely
what the False Prophet will be, as I discuss in many of my
Endtime articles. 'Satan: King Of Tyrus, King Of Empires!'
also covers this topic. To balance this statement out, while
some organization is required in the local Christian body,
and I emphasize the word 'local', even those leaders are to
serve, as in 'servants', with love and humility as per the
words of Peter:
"Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the
oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for
filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords
over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock."
(1 Peter 5:2-3)
The Apostle Paul also expressed concern regarding the
division he saw creeping into the Early Church. In his first
Epistle to the Corinthians, he wrote the following:
"Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be
no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined
together in the same mind and in the same judgment."
(1 Corinthians 1:10)
Another way that some churches and organizations exalt
themselves is through the practice of keeping statistics. If
done with the right attitude, there is nothing wrong with
keeping a record of certain statistics such as who has
accepted the Lord, their mailing address, their phone
number, etc. Such information can help you to develop an
effective follow-up program for those who show additional
interest in the Lord's Word. However there is another kind
of statistics which can quickly lead to self-glorification.
This is the kind of statistics which involve numbers, such
as how many people have accepted the Lord, how many Gospel
tracts were distributed, how many Bibles were passed out,
etc. There is a subtle danger in this practice which can
quickly turn into a snare and trap those who are not wary of
Satan's devices. What may have begun as a sincere attempt to
simply monitor the spiritual condition and progress of the
flock, may soon turn into a proud boast of the church or
organization's accomplishments. Before long, they are
comparing themselves to others which only serves to inflate
their self-righteous ego even further. Let me remind you of
a verse I shared towards the beginning of this article:
"For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare
ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they
measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves
among themselves, are not wise." (2 Corinthians 10:12)
Some might argue, 'Well, isn't God interested in statistics?
Didn't he have Moses and Joshua perform a census of the
Children of Israel on at least two occasions? Didn't King
David also perform a census?' This is absolutely true; but a
closer reading of the Scriptures will reveal that this is
only half of the story. Once the Children of Israel realized
how mighty of a nation they had become while under Egyptian
bondage, they became very proud and self-confident. They
began to look to themselves, and to their own strength and
wisdom. Not only that, but it was when they began to grow in
numbers that they also went astray spiritually as well. I
discuss this in a number of other articles such as in 'The
Children Of God And Politics', as well as in 'The Fruits Of
Disobedience'. The Lord knew this was going to happen. This
is why He warned them ahead of time of what would happen
such as in the following verse:
"And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the
stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not
obey the voice of the LORD thy God." (Deuteronomy 28:62)
The above verse is only one of the many curses the Lord said
He would carry out if Israel were to turn away from Him.
While over six hundred thousand fighting men left Egypt, not
to mention woman, children and old people, after forty years
of wandering in the wilderness, their number remained close
to the same, because the Lord had afflicted them a number of
times due to their sins of rebellion and unbelief. The rest
of the older generation died of old age and never saw the
Promised Land. Concerning King David's census, this was a
product of his own pride. Even Joab, the captain of David's
army, warned him that taking the census was not of the Lord.
Despite this, David yielded to his pride and took the census
so he could relish in his own might:
"For the king said to Joab the captain of the host, which
was with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from
Dan even to Beersheba, and number ye the people, that I may
know the number of the people. And Joab said unto the king,
Now the LORD thy God add unto the people, how many soever
they be, an hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the
king may see it: but why doth my lord the king delight in
this thing? Notwithstanding the king's word prevailed
against Joab, and against the captains of the host. And Joab
and the captains of the host went out from the presence of
the king, to number the people of Israel."
(2 Samuel 24:2-4)
After the census had been taken, David repented for having
yielded to his pride; however, as a result of his desire to
keep statistics so he could boast of his own greatness, the
Lord smote seventy thousand men in Israel:
"And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the
people. And David said unto the LORD, I have sinned greatly
in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O LORD, take
away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very
foolishly...So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from
the morning even to the time appointed: and there died of
the people from Dan even to Beersheba seventy thousand men."
(2 Samuel 24:10, 15)
As a final example, consider the story of Gideon. When he
first gathered his forces to fight against the Midianites,
they numbered some thirty-two thousand fighting men. The
Lord told Gideon that it was too many, and that Israel would
try to take the credit for the victory:
"And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that are with
thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their
hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine
own hand hath saved me. Now therefore go to, proclaim in the
ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid,
let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there
returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there
remained ten thousand." (Judges 7:2-3)
After another test, the Lord further reduced their numbers
from ten thousand to just three hundred men. As crazy as it
may have seemed at the time, the Lord used those three
hundred faithful men to defeat the Midianite army which was
so large that it could not even be numbered:
"And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men
that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into
thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto
his place...And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all
the children of the east lay along in the valley like
grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without
number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude...Thus was
Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they
lifted up their heads no more. And the country was in
quietness forty years in the days of Gideon."
(Judges 7:7, 12, 8:28)
Clearly then, the Lord is not limited by many or by few. He
can accomplish His purposes regardless of the number of
people He has to work with. What counts with the Lord is
that we are faithful to the task to which we have each been
called. This is precisely what Jonathan said to his armour
bearer when they went against the Philistines:
"And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour,
Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these
uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for
there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by
few." (1 Samuel 14:6)
Nowhere in the New Testament do we find any mention of the
Lord, or His Apostles, or the later Disciples keeping a
record of how many people had accepted the Lord. The Lord
doesn't need for us to keep track of such things for Him. We
are clearly told that He knows those that are His. In fact,
even the very hairs of our heads are numbered:
"Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having
this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let
every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from
iniquity." (2 Timothy 2:19)
"But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear
not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows."
(Luke 12:7)
If some of these churches and organizations are keeping
track of such things, in my view, it is a proud boast.
Soul-winning for them has become nothing more than a
religion of self-righteous works. Their statistics are
merely to show how much better they believe they are than
everyone else. I was just reminded of a few more verses
which clearly point out the error of adopting this type of
an attitude:
"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter
into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my
Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day,
Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy
name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many
wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never
knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
(Matthew 7:21-23)
Notice to whom the above verses are addressed. Jesus' words
are directed to those who believe in Him. They are directed
to we Christians, and not to Jews. The Jews don't even
believe in His Name. If we were to modernize the above
verses, they could just as easily read, 'Lord, Lord, have we
not won twenty-five thousand souls in thy name? And in thy
name passed out one hundred thousand Bibles? And in thy name
distributed millions of Gospel tracts? Look Lord, here are
our statistics to prove it! Surely we deserve to be part of
your Kingdom, Lord.' Doesn't that sound absolutely
sickening? Lord help us all! The Lord has His own set of
Books; and they are much larger, more accurate, and more
complete than ours could ever be. You can read all about
them in the following verse:
"And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and
the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is
the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those
things which were written in the books, according to their
works." (Revelation 20:12)
If there is one thought I wish to leave you with before
concluding part two of this article, it is this: No matter
who we are, or where we are, or what we are doing for the
Lord, none of us has the right to exalt ourselves beyond our
measure. None of us has the right to take the credit for
anything positive which may result from our work for the
Lord. We must all constantly remind ourselves of our lowly
state. We must all contantly remind ourselves that we are
nothing but dust. We must all constantly remind ourselves
that we are sinners. If there is anything good about us, it
is only Jesus. As the Lord said, no matter what we do for
Him, in the end, we are still unprofitable servants:
"So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things
which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants:
we have done that which was our duty to do." (Luke 17:10)
With these thoughts, I am going to bring part two of this
article to a close. In part three, I will continue by giving
a few more examples of some so-called prophets of the
Endtime, as well as discuss such topics as proper Biblical
research methods, defining the Endtime, God's eternal
status, the Lord's prophecy concerning the Disciple John,
Elijah and John the Baptist, the New Covenant, the
transliteration Of Biblical names, the meaning of Teshuva,
the purpose Of John the Baptist's ministry and more. I hope
that you will join me. I pray that part two has been
instructional, and a blessing and an inspiration in your
life.
