For too long have people given the so-called prophets of modern Christianity a free pass. It's far time that we look at the biblical model of prophets and call a holy bullshit on Christianity today. In the wake of the U.S. presidential election, multitudes of prophets have been proven wrong. They have only spoken nonsense and sold it as orthodoxy. I don't know about you, but selling lies as the words of God sounds like a deep offense to the faith.
So let us delve into what the role of a prophet is supposed to be according to the Old and New Testaments. We'll look into how the modern prophet isn't anywhere near anything biblical. These charlatans and faux fortune-tellers have bastardized the faith and made it look foolish and absurd. If God's mouthpiece looks like a circus sideshow, what does that say of God?
Is God a fool obsessed with money and private jets. Does God care about riches or influence? Is God the God of Abraham the same god that desires bling? Modern-day prophets denigrate God and make a mockery of the faith. So if they traffic in mockery, they deserve what they receive.
But, that would all be too easy to dismiss. Modern-day prophets are only prophets in name alone. In reality, they are clowns who dance and speak for their coins.
Biblical prophecy involves truth-telling and sacrifice. It gives God's people a vision for what matters now and where things should be headed. As people of God, it informs our values and gives us a vision of where to go, invest, and mobilize. The Kingdom of God is always moving. If you want to join the movement it only requires time and effort, but all great things in life require those too.
Will you tune out the nonsense and noise and listen to what's being asked of you right now? Everything hinges upon that point. So let's hop in and see where it takes us.
