Tuija, Welcome to the forums, sister! I think these prophecies are something to stay away from. I find that the claims (an additional word from God) and the disclaimers (but if it doesn't come true..) to be much the same as Adventism. Many of the prophecies are so general that they can be twisted around to fit many different events. Then, the 'prophet' and his followers can say 'see, it did happen!'. Reminds me of those saying that Sep. 11, 2001 was predicted by EGW. I also see an unscriptural hermaneutic (a way of studying the Bible). They tie together verses that seem (at first) to go together, but if you study them out it just doesn't work. I also see an obsession with the U.S.--ditto for Adventism. The Bible seems to focus the end time events in the Middle East--especially Jerusalem. Bottom line---I think you're looking at the writings of a false prophet. I have a hard time believing that the Bible we have today needs to have something 'added' to it---no matter how good and Christlike some of the things written sound. Bill |
