Is God Still Speaking Thru Prophets Today to Steer the Nations?

Perhaps you do not know a prophet yourself...I am not sure? This I do know there are very few churches today that acknowledge their legitimacy…so of course for those churches and their congregations there is a slim chance of ever seeing a modern New Testament prophet functioning as he is called…by the Lord Yahshua.

If there is no belief in such a thing…for those in that place…they simply won’t see them due to “unbelief”...which is always one's choice. That is exactly what unbelief produces...blindness...non-belief...rejection.

These are all a part of ones choices in this life as I see it.

God definitely has spoken through His prophets, and in the flesh through the Son of God, but you, claiming to know of modern day prophets refuse to name them, not even one. 

Prophets give light; they reveal God's word.  Do you think God wants His modern day prophets hidden under a bushel? Or are you afraid to expose the name(s) of these so-called modern prophets for fear they'll be tested, and exposed as false prophets?  If not, name them.

So you are claiming that inspired revelation has made it known to you that the account was fictional??

And I say, that you will soon, if you live so long, see that this prophetic vision will be fulfilled to its ultimate. But you are welcome to believe otherwise.

You'll be wrong; because part 3 of the vision says appreciably that same thing as was revealed to Isaiah in Isaiah 17, as well as other biblical prophetic passages. See, for example, the following:

89. Joseph, Part 3: A Patriarchal Prophecy of Josephʼs Future    https://www.worthychristianforums.com/blogs/entry/2929-joseph-part-3-a-patriarchal-prophecy-of-josephʼs-future/

 

Spiritual discernment I have.  You?  Well, when you count fiction as truth, the answer lies therein.

There ya go..."hidden with Christ in God."

You have here taken Colossians 3:3 out of context to create a pretext.  False teachers and false prophets always do that.

No...and their not...it's just that you can't see them as you have made plainly obvious.

Okay. Give us just one name so we can test to see if he or she is a true prophet.

I presume you mean the "infallibility test"?

Were some the NT writers infallible when they wrote that "the end of all things is near" (1 Pet. 4:7), and similar words? Cf. James 5:8, 1 John 2:18, Romans 13:12, etc.

Am interested to hear your answer.

when one lets Scripture interpret Scripture this answer is easy... from the eternal, which only God has that perspective, a day (24 hour period) is the same to The Lord, in his infinite state, as (one thousand years)... 
2 Peter 3:8 (KJV)

[8] But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

You should be more careful how you handle Scripture...

Re: prophets, we are to try them to see whether they are from God, "because many false prophets are gone out into the world."  1 John 4:1

John's statement of "test the spirits" to identify the "false prophets" actually illuminates or implies that there are "true prophets." So one would have to know the New Testament definition of a "true prophet" to be able to "try" or distinguish the false ones.

They are both here as John stated...apparently you can't see them to try them...or perhaps you can only see what you call the false ones. The true prophets of God are called and graced by the Lord Himself...they are Scripturally defined and active in the Kingdom of God...what are you looking at that you cannot discern them BornAgain490?

You never did answer my question concerning the four living creatures of Revelation 4...you will need a prophet for that...more likely an apostle. You have no clue and think those passages are simply unimportant...lets ignore them...yet they have a prophetic implication for our day.
