Prophetic Error

It is time to say what needs to be said, to lay out the coming plan, not by graphs and charts but by word.  Open your eyes and ears -- hear the words your eyes see.  Put the Words of our God and Savior, YaHshua, above all.  Speculation is speculation and opinion is opinion.  I make no pretense to know it all but one thing I see and know to be certain -- the Words of our Creator, our Father in Heaven and of our Savior YaHshua are true – words delivered to His Apostles and in times past to His Prophets in the words we know as the “Scriptures”.  Any prophet or teacher telling you anything contrary to our Heavenly Father’s words is false and a consuming fire, destroying those around him, or her.   

   When it comes to modern day prophecy writers we should be very cautious, approaching their writings and lectures with suspicion, taking what you know to be true and checking what they say against the written Word – check you own Bible.  Taking what we know to be true without doubt, preserving our minds, our thoughts, by the Words of God -- what we are not sure of is then speculation and opinion – this is not, for most part, what they do.  No, they write and speak as if the God of the Holy Bible is talking to them – circumventing the Words He has already given to everyone – they nullify the Words of Scripture, from which the Apostles themselves taught. 

  A thought, a vision, a dream or a small voice in their head speaks to them and they say, “The Holy Spirit is talking to me”, and “The Lord told me …”, and so it goes – the words, or imaginations of the prophets mind overrides the written word, the Holy Scriptures.  This is nothing new, not at all, read Jeremiah 23, for an account of our Creator’s feelings with this kind of, “The Lord told me so…” preaching. These false prophets -- deceiving and being deceived in their own minds (2 Timothy 3:13), nullifying the living words of our God and Savior, YaHshua (Mark 7:13, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 2:3).  They have the nerve, without so much as a blush, to say The Creator of all things is speaking with them, a small voice in their heads, never challenging these voices with and by the already delivered Words.    

   These prophets and teachers come and go, used book stores filled with their works. They, or at least their followers, treat their words as equal with the Holy Words received and delivered to us by the Christ, the Apostles and the Prophets (Holy Scripture), giving these false teachers equal authority with His Word.  The modern self-proclaimed prophets are wrong in their visions and dreams of the future they have been wrong in the past and are wrong now.  Please read the article I have posted at this link -- 2012 and other failed Prophecies

  I will make a short list of things taught in error errors many of you may even believe but when the Words of our Heavenly Father and that of our Savior, YaHshua, are considered it is plain these people know nothing.  When our Father's words begin to unfold in the coming of His Day, the coming of His Wrath, things modern writers have been teaching will be revealed as nothing but misdirection and even out right lies.  Never forget, the deceivers are also deceived themselves, they actually work so hard convincing you and me they are right they believe their own words.

1. His Name is Jesus an equivalent of His Birth Name, YaHshua?
2. There will be a 7 year Tribulation
3. Before the Tribulation Christians will be Raptured
4. Gog and Magog will attack Israel and the Christ will destroy them at His next return at the end of the seven years
5. End Times will be affluent, buying and selling, and of marrying and giving in marriage, etc.
6. Holy Spirit will be remove and thus, the Evil One will be revealed
7. Believers, will go to Heaven
8. Non-believers, pagans, heathens, etc., will go to the fires of Hell to be tormented forever
9. Sunday is the Sabbath
10. Idolatrous images of stone, wood, gold, etc., are worship aides, not idols?
11. Everyone seeking a god, any god will go to Heaven  we are all seeking god, just in different ways
12. 144,000 are Gospel preachers "Left Behind" to preach to the lost and will be caught up at the end of the tribulation 

Item #1 -- It does not take a genius to understand the name JESUS is not THE equivalent for our Saviors birth Name, YaHshua.  Taking a look at this assumption --

American Heritage Dictionary: Equivalent, 1. Equal, as in value, force, or meaning. Having similar or identical effects. 2. Being essentially equal, all things considered: a wish that was equivalent to a command. 3. Mathematics. Capable of being put into a one-to-one relationship. Used of two sets. Having virtually identical or corresponding parts. 4. Chemistry. Having the same ability to combine.n. Abbr. equiv., eq. 1. Something that is essentially equal to another:

Did you know that Satan desires to be seen as "equivalent" in name and power to our Creator?  Sure, he would like that, to have everyone consider him as equivalent to YaHshua, or even our Heavenly Father.  He is called the "god of this world" and he presents himself as an "angel of light", and we know of his attempt at being equal to his Creator.  He desires equivalency but he is not equivalent.  Just as many would have you believe the name Jesus is equivalent to our Savior's birth name so Satan would convince you there is another name by which you can worship of equal value, of the same "one-to-one relationship".  This error would make much of the words of our Savior and of His Apostles as nothing, by this nullifying His words and His Name.  You want to say the name Jesus is equivalent to the Name YaHshua?  In the world the world of Satan this may be true but not a fact, it is a false teaching and assumption.  Is you name equivalent to the name of your Savior?  Certainly not even though we have cases in which mean do attempt this but the fact remains, our Savior was giv en a name at birth and His Apostles taught in this Name, baptized in this Name, and there was no other Name under Heaven, found among men, that is equivalent (Acts 4:12).  You can stubbornly hang onto the idea the modern name Jesus is equivalent but it cannot be said to be THE EQUIVALENT.  Consider on last thing -- there are many gods and many lords in this world and these many gods and lords have names and the followers of these gods and lords consider the names of these gods and lords as equivalent to the name Jesus.  So, is it? 

Item #2 -- A seven year triblation?  Hum, were does this word, tribulation, come from?  In Revelation 1:9 John says he is our companion in tribulation.  Wouldn't this mean the tribulaiton is over two thousand years in duration?  If we say no and that John was speaking of tribuation in his day then are we to say the tribulation is past?  There seems to be something else going on when we read the book about the coming 7 year tribulation.  Still, John is the hand writing the Book of Revelation and he does put himself in tribulation.  Revelation 2:9-10 mentions others in the Church suffering tribulation and then we come to Revelation 7:14 where a scene is set concerning the saints and we see it is those having come through tribulation, having washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb.  It seems to me this would include all those having given their lives for YaHshua, right.  This would include all saints having died for the cuase, if you please.  This cannot be the tribulation the endtime prophecy teachers are writing about, preaching about.  After all, the tribulation they speak of lasts for only seven years.
