I can't wholeheartedly agree with this response
I have walked with Him 66 years. I know the written Word of God pretty well. I have found that He speaks to me quietly through His Word, and at the moment of worry or distress. Where did that come from is my frequent reaction. Through Him I also experience some quite, Bible based Sunday S. songs. He knows exactly what I need and when to bring it to me. Thank you amazing Lord!
Dear sir ,I am 67 and God brings the word that I need like comfort even though I didn't pray about it or was expecting any comfort .That is how bad I was feeling ! PRAISE. THE LORD !
I read all the comments and it seems most people are confused with what the Holy Spirit reveals to them in their journey vs what is meant as prophesy in terms of old and New Testament. I guess in my mind if you’ve read the whole bible and believe it- you wouldn’t need to argue anything. Our father in heaven gave us his word and revealed to us everything we need to know past present and future including what happens after death and to the world in the end days and what we as Christian’s are responsible and called to do. What could any person possibly add that’s of value that teaches beyond what is already been written?
🙌🙌🙌
Amen! Spot on sister 💯🙌🏼
Just because people have abused the gift or magnified it to the point of idolization doesn’t mean we ignore the fact that prophecy is still a means that God uses to speak to His people.
According to what verse?
That's called the bible
Paul said the gifts of prophesy still exists for normal church members in 1 Corinthians 12. Paul wasn't writing to the other apostles when he wrote that, but to normal Christians.
I just read that today but if the Holy and sovereign God of all creature is going to talk to a person and tell them something new then we would have to add to the bible. All the prophecy in the Bible are about Jesus coming or judgement of God on a nation or Christ's return.
@@robdickinson829 No, its about personal prophecy and correction, not eschatology and salvation.
@@allthingsnew010 I don't think I'm understanding what you mean by personal. 1 Corinthians 14 3, but everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort
.4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself,but he who prophesies edifies the church. To me that lines up with what they are saying.
@@robdickinson829 That's what I mean, prophesy is for the personal edification of people not to change scripture. Like telling people to fast, or to stop them from doing a secret thing. For example, I was considering getting a tattoo and my brother had a dream from God telling me not to get one.
@@allthingsnew010 cool. Did you tell your brother you were thinking about getting a tattoo and then he had the dream or did the dream come first? I'm not asking to make fun or be rude I'm genuinely interested I've had similar experiences.
The Word of God ALONE is breathed out and is enough to make every Christian completely equipped for every good work (2 Tim 3:16-17)
Yes and Prophets speak the Word of God. Jesus is the Word so the word is not just the Bible book. 🙂
Every child of God is a prophet, but what he prophesies is the Word of God, and nothing outside of that.
The Bible specifically says only some people are prophets.
@@codyhuckins3570 It seems clear to me from reading the Bible that there are different gifts of the spirit and not all saved people have the same gifts. If someone comes along and says everybody that is saved is a prophet I really feel sorry for them. Unless they are changing the meaning of the word "prophet".
@@1Whipperin You have a different definition of the word prophecy than I do.
@@ELishaJesus1980 bill has lots of definitions that don't tie in with the Bible.
You'll notice that he didn't point to scripture to prove his opinions.
If a Christian is a prophet & they declare 1 thing as a word from God and it doesn't come to pass then they are a false prophet which is biblical.
God speaks to his true believers
I am surprised that you bible scholars are found to be mocking the office of a prophet just because your faith does not take you to that level. That’s the problem with the reformation church, their religion, and beliefs started from Martin Luther who was a break away from the Roman Catholic belief that was a type of antichrist, his revelation was only in part, he never went back to the founding teaching of the real church who were the Apostles which would have to lead you to Ephesians 4:11-13
The Apostle Paul clearly stated the outline of the church and its purpose. Further reference is made in 1 Corinthians 13 where it speaks about exercising love along with the spiritual gifts which include prophecy.
The Apostle Paul states after starting the church he was the last Apostle (1 Corinthians 15:8) because the role of establishing the church’s foundation was through the 12 + Paul, no further foundation was to be laid. The problem with the reformation doctrine it came much later, I don’t think Luther even refers to the Holy Spirit as the founding fathers did or you would find a lot of teaching on the Fruits of the Spirit, Gifts of the Spirit.
Apostle Paul states according to Galatians 1:8 if any man preaches any other gospel than the one we preach to you let him be accursed. Hence your mocking of a gift of the Holy Spirit. I notice this is a recent upload may be in response to what has been happening recently, just because there are false prophets does not mean there are not real ones and that the office of a prophet does not exist today.
Everything that God needs to say is in His living Word. That is all the revelation we need.
This saddens me. I've had end-time visions of America and it is very sad to see people laughing and mocking. There's zero reason to lie. We warn and we get laughed at by our own family
⏺There were prophets from Jerusalem whose prophecies are not recorded in Scripture, except by Agabus, incl. concerning a famine, a warning that was acted upon:
Ac 11^27-30 ; (Ac 13^1)
⏺Also, the prophecies by the 4 daughters of an evangelist at Ceasarea are not recorded in Scripture (women were probably allowed to prophesy in church but not teach); the prophet Agabus also gave a prophetic warning to Paul:
Ac 21^8-11
⏺Timothy received personal prophecies concerning his ministry and Gift:
1-Tim 1^18 ; 1-Tim 4^14
⏺It seems that the Gifts will only cease at "the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ"; knowing now only in part until we see Him face to face:
1-Cor 1^7 ; 1-Cor 13^9-12
⏺Some disciples at Ephesus spoke in Tongues and prophesied after receiving the Holy Spirit, these prophesies are not recorded in Scripture:
Ac 19^6
⏺Judas (surnamed Barsabas) and Silas were also prophets:
Ac 15^32
⏺Also, why would God inspire Scripture for us concerning the orderly use of Gifts in the church if already expired by the time of the Canon? These Gifts, including prophecy, are given, not to add to Scripture, but to edify and equip the church:
1-Cor 12 & 14 ; Eph 4^8-12
⏺Jesus and John warned us against "false" prophets, not against all prophecy; test the spirits:
Mat 24^24 ; 1-Jn 4^1-3
⏺We should not despise prophesy:
1-Thess 5^19-21
⏺We are encouraged to desire the Gifts, especially prophesy, but are given by the Holy Spirit as He wills:
1-Cor 14^1 ; 12^11
I think we're all saying the same thing. The word "prophecy" is used many different ways..
Amen ❤
Yes. The Bible does not say otherwise.
1 Cor 14.29-30 "Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said. And if a REVELATION comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop. (...) 14.39 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy" Ap. Paul direcly defined "prophesy" here as revelation. Speakers ignored that. The audience laughing and clapping completely ignore error of speakers in that subject.
You are right. Prophecy is revelation, and it doesn't happen today.
@@ELishaJesus1980 Dear David, for unknown reason you joined the audience in ingnoring Scripture
@@zbikar No I didn't do that. I have studied this matter in detail for a long time and it is clear to me from scholarly materials that the gifts of the early church seemed to dwindle and stop even in the lifetime of Paul. Which means if there was any revelation from prophecies they ceased. And they certainly don't exist in the church today. But I will grant that your point is simply that early church prophecies were considered revelation. If that is so, why weren't those revelations added to the canon of scripture?
@@ELishaJesus1980 Dear David, I have studied theology and church history as well. In non-charismatic christian academy. Finished with master of evangelical theology degree. So, I do not consider myself expert - but not laymen too.
@@ELishaJesus1980 Acts 21,9 He (Philip) had four unmarried daughters, who prophesied. Their prophecies were from Spirit. They were truth. They adified church members (mayby other people too). They were inpired by Spirit. But we even do not have them written! They never became such authority as Scripture! Excatly the same way today Spirit gifts operate, including prophecy.
I think many people are missing the mark on what is being said. I was operating in offense after I heard the first guy speak because I know my experiences with God. Correct me if I am wrong, but it sounds like he was referring to there being the prophets of the old days. The ones that were spoken a word from God to be put into the bible that we use today. The bible is complete and no one can add to it. I did find it odd that he called it preaching. God does speak to his prophets, but it really should line up with his word. There is nothing new underneath the sun. He said my sheep know my voice. God sends us warning as prophets, we are supposed to be watchmen and aware of things to come. It has always been a gift to help the church. He orders our steps through visions, dreams and his words.
There's a difference between dreams and visions and then prophecy. Charismatics seem to believe that everybody upon being saved is supposed to speak in tongues, and they even appear to be saying that everybody is a prophet. That's blatantly not true. Even a simple Bible study should show this.
@@ELishaJesus1980 You literally let that whole paragraph go over your head to create something that was so off. I suggest reading it again and asking God for understanding. No one said that people who dream and have visions are prophets. Those are a proven method that God has spoken to his prophets and still does to this day. How in the world did you turn it into that whole thing? I'm not even saying a prophet is determined only if they dreams or visions. You are seriously tripping lol
@@BethelPJ You sound insulted for some reason. I didn't say that a prophet is determined by dreams and visions. Please re-read what I said carefully again. Do you believe that you are a prophet? If you are, I want evidence please. And no, I am not tripping, not even seriously .
@@BethelPJ To be honest with you, I don't think you should reply to me because your original post was completely contradictory and I'm wasting my time trying to engage with a person that is insulting other people. Have a good day.
@@ELishaJesus1980 I'm not insulted. I was honestly confused on how you came up with that response. I still read it as the same thing that you somehow took my comment as that all people are prophets. You clearly don't understand how prophets operate. They are God's messengers. God is not going to give me a word to a random person to justify my own calling lol. That doesn't bring the Lord glory. I never understood why people ask others to prove their calling via a comment section lol. God bless you.
So many being misled by most of today's so called preachers. Apostolic gifts were pretty much unheard of from the early 2nd century until the 19th century when some charismatic charlatans showed up claiming to have the gift of healing, prophecy, and casting out demons. Fast forward to today and half the so called Christians are able to perform these miracles. By praying everything in Jesus's name they believe they can do what the true Apostles did. Would be funny if it weren't so sad.
The Holy Scripture we have today is perfect, complete and inerrant. It reveals His sovereign will, His perfect plan to salvation, His perfect instructions to the churches and all Christians, as we faithfully serve, strive to live holy lives and wait for his glorious return. No need for "new revelations", thus making modern-day prophets false.
Who are the two witnesses?
What is the meaning of the white stone, given to the one who conquers?
The name of the new Jerusalem?
Jesus new name?
Jesus said this man will conquer as HE CONQUERED, and Jesus said he would give this man authority. Who is this man who conquers?
I hope you can realize that you know nothing. You are overly confident in your ignorance. Much has been kept hidden until the end of the world (right now). Your claim that the scriptures are "complete" is a denial of your ignorance. (As there is obviously still much intentionally left as a mystery).
So answer my questions if you can. If you think it has all been revealed to you!
I'm curious as to what the role of prophecy in the church was for. What do you think it was for? If it was supposed to be on a par with God's Word or scripture, why wasn't it preserved if it contained revelation? Or was it just private messages for congregants only?
@@ELishaJesus1980
You are implying that there is no prophecy in the Bible that contains Revelation? Are you crazy?
What about the book of Revelation?
You clearly don't understand it.
@@tileformiles I don't think your English is good. Please use an English translator program. By the way, if you want to insult people and be rude to them for no apparent reason, it would be best or better not to do that.
@@ELishaJesus1980
You are confusing yourself.
Ask yourself this: How will HIS two witnesses be "on par" with scripture?
God's word CONTAINS word, that HIS two witnesses will give word.
Who will judge their word? Will you demand miracles?
You are curious as to what the role of prophecy in the church WAS for. Do you deny the truth of his two witnesses? That they will come?
Wow, putting God in a box. What a small God you must must have. My God speaks to people all the time through dreams, coincidence, that small voice, etc.. He is so much bigger & able to do anything that he so desires, well outside of your rules.
God has put boundaries on it Himself. The canon of Scripture is closed. That's not putting God in a box.
The gift of prophecy 🙏 is still alive and active today and so is the office of the prophet 🙏
Agree 100%. God's Word is the only infallible source of prophecy. It is written.
With that question its always good for the person asking it to define what they mean by prophecy.
There's certainly no new revelations and no prophets in the OT mould.
Link to the long version of this panel, please
That's one way to try to erase God's design of the five fold ministry. I call BS on this arrogant declaration and pray for mercy on how these men are judged.
wait wait wait, you do what? You call BS? BS as in bulls**t? do you seriously want us to believe that you are praying to God using this kind of language?
just goes to show who your God is, definitely not the God of the Bible
SMH
I may have missed the context of these statements but, when people quote everything but the Bible to answer Biblical questions I question their source.
Well that was all funny. I am just wondering what the Scripture meant when the Word of God says “In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.” I must be a false prophet according to your beliefs. We are living in the days of Noah. God going raised up warriors full of the Spirit and He will talk to those who want to listen. Amen!
While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; *listen to Him*!” Matthew 17:5
He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called *The Word of God*. Revelation 19:13
Unfortunately, prophecy has become almost like a religion today. People hang into every word that a so called prophet has to say rathe than what God has to say through his word.
The gift of prophecy was given to some people in bible times to enable God to speak to his people . Now we have the bible through which he speaks.
Wow this is probably one of the biggest shockers. Rejecting God's Spirit can be the only explanation why God doesn't speak to you. The whole purpose of Christian life is about communication between God and His children, as Christ and God communicated while Jesus was on earth during his ministry, Jesus came to show us the way.
“You need to turn his water off”😂
A proper prophecy would include names, dates, times and locations. I have never seen or heard of one.
That's an interesting interpretation, given that the Bible tells us there is no prophecy in the Bible that is, or requires a private, or gifted person that understands prophecy to interpret it.
Why don't we do it the old fashioned way, like 1 Corinthians 14 says for the prophets, or gift of prophecy should operate in the house when we come together, why don't we let them prophecy one by one, up to three people, and then let's see if the thing prophecied comes to pass if it doesn't they are false Prophet's, or prophetess, but if the thing be true then they are true Prophet's, or prophetess, I like the Bibles way of determining who's real, and who's not, this is what happens when u get a bunch of people on a stage, and none of them us scripture to prove their point.
Honestly mate, I just have come to the stage where I feel sorry for charismatics. I pity them. I am not going to waste my time attempting to engage any of them in any debate because they clearly are off their heads and don't read the Bible. If it is God's will for them to be genuinely born again, I welcome that.
The church is CLEARLY not waiting for HIS two witnesses, who are Prophets, who Jesus himself said would come.
The church says: NO MORE PROPHECY!
The two witnesses are here, and have already been rejected, and will be given power soon. Those who shamed them will be shamed. Those who reject them will be rejected.
They are the Last Adam and the Last Eve.
@@tileformiles Oh man, this is drugs talking or something. Sorry, I can't take you seriously.
@@1Whipperin
The US establishment is the beast. Reagan was the first king, Biden the 7th, Trump was the 6th and will be the 8th when he is deceptively resurrected by Mike Lindell the false prophet, now on the brink of the 5th world empire since Daniel.
This is the end of the world, and when Trump is reinstated, the 7 year tribulation begins.
@@1Whipperin why don't we let prophecy itself determine if Jesus still speaks through Prophet's, and the prophetess, with things that are not written down in scripture, if the thing prophecied comes to past, they are a true prophet, if it doesn't, they are a false prophet, simple, no more guessing right?
If no one has the "gift of prophecy" then no one can explain the book of Revelation. Yet God's obedient remnant CAN and HAVE explained it. This panel is filled with the "many false prophets" Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24:11
I do not know whether to agree or disagree that revelationary prophecy exist or not I would be very careful with that argument as the bible never said that it stopped. . but the problem today there are so many false prophets today that you don't know any way whether to believe it or not.
Exactly. Be careful with "GOD said" becuz we dont want to violate 3rd commandment is misapplying things to Him or His words.
However, if we believe we receive the Holy Spirit at justification (we do), then to accept fully what Lawson just said, we would also have to believe that GOD the Spirit is a deaf mute, not to ever speak to us, guide us, lead us, teach us, as GOD the Son JESUS already declared the Spirit would be doing in each of us.
Is what we're hearing from GOD? Good question. Well, does it agree with scripture? Does it follow the nature of GOD? Is it edifying the body? Strengthening our walk closer to Him, etc?
Agreed

NO ONE IS GONNA ESCAPE THE JUDGMENT OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST,…………AMEN
I believed the gift of prophecy is a continuing gift of God for all , who maintain FAITH in Christ ( God ) in his lifetime .
Why ? Because prophecy comes from , not only knowing God , but in BELIEVING His Written Words , the Bible ; the Holy Scriptures !!!
There can be NO Sure Prophecy without Faith . It’s a common principle in life ! In God, or other matters .
This might be of help . Read : l Timothy 1:18-20 . Or start verse one .
Yes it is
The only reveil God is doing is how he points out a sin in my life that I need to deal with
"If you want to hear the Word of God, read the Bible. If you want to hear it audibly, read it out loud"

@Jesus is the Word of God He's talking about The Word of God, which is His Voice. Context matters.
lol love it
@@kennstack01 You REALLY have to wonder what "voices" these people are hearing!!! LOL
If this is the only response you have time for, it’s better not to respond at all. Because you omit any biblical support for such a short answer. Justin, this is not helpful. I’m surprised that you, whose ministry I otherwise love, would do this. Peace&blessings brother
To “Zwingli has some kind of hero of the reformed faith is not a good thing. In one day he drowned 41 men women and children calling them “rebaptizers“ because the law, the civil law of the land, remained infant baptism. They did not totally reform from all of Rome’s Ways.
If God told you the winning lottery numbers that is a prophecy
😢😢😢
..ummm.. ..the prophet(s) from Revelation 11 will be the mouthpiece of my father just as it was in the days of old..
The answers were weak because they didn’t include scriptural references….but the jokes were funny!
Tell me, if while reading the Bible, the words you read became an audible voice that was speaking to you and not your own voice while reading out loud, would you still be laughing?
Do you know what it feels like to experience love as warmth and energy and your mind being flooded by an indescribable golden light? No? Are you even sure of your own calling as a Preacher then?
You might warn me about the evil one disguising himself as an angel of light. Trust me, there's a big difference between true light and dark light. I could also ask you what God meant when He was speaking through Jeremia:
Then [with a deep longing] you will seek Me and require Me [as a vital necessity] and [you will] find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you,’ says the Lord, ‘and I will restore your fortunes and I will [free you and] gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you,’ says the Lord, ‘and I will bring you back to the place from where I sent you into exile.’
Jeremiah 29:13-14 AMP
What does God mean by Him being found? Those He was speaking to obviously had Scriptures where God had revealed Himself, so could it be that Paul wasn't merely implying a wrong interpretation of Scripture when he wrote that the 'letter kills but the Spirit gives life'?
I dislike people that give themselves titles as much as the next person, but don't be so quick to laugh something away that you can't grasp intellectually.
Love as warmth and energy and golden light sounds the same as New Ager testimonies. Obviously I can't put myself in another person's mind, but I thought I would share.
@@ELishaJesus1980 I was a new ager experimenting with psychedelics and the occult and came across many things that would have been better left alone. That's one of the reasons I was so shocked at some of the things taking place in the charismatic movements like holy laughter etc. It felt like I had just walked out of where I was straight into exactly the same thing but with a sugarcoating on top of it.
The thing that new agers won't admit (or understand) is that the light and colours they cling to are mostly shades (dark light). That's why the experience was so unique to me personally and obviously can't be proven. I could say that fire resembles golden light and then refer to the burning bush, tongues like fire, anointing oil, golden streets etc.
The only description that ever came close to it was an original testimony by Ian McCormack from the 80's which you should take a listen too and judge for yourself.
@@LeRoiBooysen I also came from a New Age type of background, and like you I was shocked to see so much of that in the charismatic church, which I really knew hardly anything about before I was saved. And, when I was born again I did experience light too, but it wasn't golden coloured. It was bright white, blindingly bright white yet at the same time I could still see. I saw Ian McCormack's video testimony years ago but in general I'm quite wary of Near Death Experiences. I purposely try to not tell other people my personal experience when I was saved because there are so many Christians out there that are skeptical of experiences (I am too, depending upon the type and content of the experience). I've learnt not to cast pearls before swine in that regard. While I do consider myself Reformed in belief and understanding, I cannot agree with Justin Peters about visions and dreams, though I agree with everything else he says.
We don't define our theology by our experiences. We're under the Word of God. The Scripture is the Word of God. And The Word of God is GOD.
The Word > Personal experience.
The trouble with your view is that being born again IS an experience, and so we should be careful not to throw the baby out. We always defer to scripture as being above experience or in some sense more reliable, but to wipe away experience entirely is an error in my opinion. For if there was no experience accompanying salvation, there would be no difference between a saved person and a non-believer.
@@ELishaJesus1980 I don't know if you get what I'm saying...
Note: in other words, our experiences are defined by Scripture and NOT the opposite.
That's the point.
Brotherly.
@@kennstack01
But who defines scripture?
Who is the one who conquers, who is given the white stone, and Jesus new name? HE, HIM, and not they or them. There is a man. One man. He is the Last Adam. The first of the two witnesses. King David (the name of the new Jerusalem is the city of David).
Who will call me a liar? Who has the authority?
@@kennstack01 Hi, yes I get what you are saying completely. But I wanted to clarify that experiences are also important.
@@comowibibliawhatthebiblesa6562 Are you talking to me? The scripture is the written word of God and Paul said it is "God breathed" or inspired, and theoneustos is the Greek word which means "breathed out". LIke Jesus quoted Deuteronomy "man shall not live by bread alone but by every WORD that comes from the MOUTH of GOD". Calling the scriptures God would be like saying there is no difference between what a person says and their physical body, which is absurd. And an idol is a carved or fashioned deity that people bow down to and worship, not writings in a book.
I respect these guys but they didn't back up anything with Scripture
This is completely false.. we have prophets at our church currently, that during a prayer God speaks things to individual people in the congregation and the prophet walks up to them after church and says this word was for you. Usually encouragment, at times a direct exposure of a sin or problem that needs to be corrected.
Romans 1:22. A whole auditorium full.
Nonsense
"Is the gift of prophecy still alive or active today?"
Well kind Sirs...it depends...For...
... MOST Prophesies are fake for 3,500 yrs; ever since Abraham was honored by God Himself. Thus, most "Prophesiers" are driven by ego. Oh yes. But the real "prophesiers" are one's; AFTER Jesus told them...
Ye shall not consider what ye shall say; when you get there. For the Holy Spirit will put the words in your mouth; at the appointed time. AMEN! However, this MUST be the same for EVERY pastor that will have ever been.
But most pastors are their ONLY because of their egos. Oh indeed yes. But of course, there are a few Heavenly driven true prophecies? Yes, but VERY, VERY few for sure! Because MOST of the true Prophecies have been espoused LONG ago.
So beware and be ready to see: those "so-called" prophesiers: standing before Jesus on "Judgment Day"; when Jesus says to them , "I NEVER knew YOU"! End of Story and I rest me case...
...In any case kind Sirs, Please Pray OFTEN and Praise Jesus OFTEN; for He is the ONLY true "God Almighty"; there will ever have been. And may Jesus bless you and yours always. AMEN!
Was that yes or no, or don't know?
Seemed more like a dig at pastors in general than dealing with the actual question.
Why are these men wearing suits and ties?
Is it a sin?
What should they be wearing in your opinion Robert?
Better yet, why no woman or person of color on the panel? To take it one step further, why doesn't the panel include a real prophet of God?
@@lucille7069 This is a ligonier conference, and the speakers are well known. There have been female speakers in the past at various times, the audience consists of women, so your comment doesn't make sense to me. They have done conferences with black pastors too. What is your understanding of the definition or meaning of the word "prophet"? That may help to clarify or clear up any misunderstanding.
@@ELishaJesus1980 I was thinking the same. I noticed that they have no specific names of people who could have been part of the panel
Justin Peters said if you want to hear God speak read the Bible. If you want to hear God speak out loud read the Bible out loud. He also said never trust a faith healer who wears glasses
Is the gift of prophecy still alive or active today?
Was the gift of prophecy ever alive or active? Interpreting vague passages of the OT as propheccies is a doubtful entertainment.
They shall serve the Lord their God and David their King who I will raise up for them.
Does that sound ambiguous to you? Is there any, other that the two witnesses, who are resurrected in the middle of the 7 year tribulation?
No. It's not ambiguous.
David is the name of the new Jerusalem. He is the one who conquers.
Jesus' new name is The Last Adam, written on the one who conquers.
The white stone is given, to David, obviously to slay the goliath of nations (the beast).
Do you see? There is so much ignorance in the church regarding prophecy, it's pointless to claim that KNOWLEDGE of prophecy is complete. You have no understanding.
Sorry if this sounds insulting. It's the truth.
@@tileformiles In the few cases of correct prophecies the evidence for forgery, i.e. a "prophecy written post factum" is overwhelming. And this is true also for biblical prophecy. Sorry if the facts insult you. But, well, facts sometimes are shattering believes.
