Yes, grant are modern-day prophets. No, not everybody who calls themselves one, is one. Real thing, broadcast at what a modern day judge IS. The old prophets such as Daniel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel etc were prophets in the fork of judge by honor of distinctive called by God to bring the Tidings of the Member of the aristocracy to the inhabitants. Give were no self-made prophets. They did not go to temple and learn how to be one. They were called, called particularly to speak His Tidings. That Tidings came shipshape [i]from[/i] God [i]to[/i] them, and they in their fork were lurch to quantity it immediately and assuredly, definitely and persistently, no business what the damage to them personally. Jonah resisted the LORD'S aver and ran to the left but after a series of trial occurred he was persuaded before to be arranged good.
At the moment, we allow the Tidings in the form of the Bible and no longer wish prophets to speak it. We can read it. Static, we are told that in the subsequent days (Joel 2:28) that "I give heavy rain out My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and daughters give foreshadowing, Your old men give dream thoughts, Your callow men give see visions."
So...Why did God say He give use prophets in the embrace days previously we ahead of allow the bible to pay to? To cover in the gaps. This gap-filling was prophesied to stay as the end approached: "But you, Daniel, close down up the words, and rigorous the book until the time of the end, repeated shall run to and fro [u]and knowledge shall make available[/u]." (Daniel 12:4)
Tradition shall make available, meaning knowledge of prophecy, if you broadcast at that verse in context. If God assumed He give heavy rain out his Spirit unto all mankind, He give, and if He assumed some give foreshadowing, they give. God is the self-same yesterday, today, and for eternity. If we are told we give jump at spiritual gifts, 1 Corinthians 12, and one of persons gifts is the gift of prophecy, hence not record did they jump at it yesterday, but they give as well jump at it today and for eternity.
Citizens may be called to say a word that may be vocal to an personage, a expressive circle, a public, or bigger significantly. They give be "cumulative knowledge" by inside in gaps. They give be whiff, as the watchmen recycled to do in the Old Memorial. They give be reminding, exhorting, rebuking, penalizing...in supreme, all the effects Old headstone prophets recycled to do but on a bigger a selection of and tangential scale. Jesus is THE Forewarning today (Heb 1:1-2) so He has the big picture enclosed, but we are told that men and women give foreshadowing, so it can be conditional that these inhabitants give cover in the trivia of the less significant picture.
So coming straddling inhabitants who say they are prophets, I would alertness one and all to be suspicious but not despising. To begin with, we are told that grant give be repeated knack prophets in the embrace days (Mat 24:11; 2 Pet 2:1; 1 John 4:1). Discrete dash to be acquainted of is that inhabitants profession "themselves "a judge today all told are not. Citizens who are favorite by the God of the Plot to speak His messages are bigger humbled by the profession than they are high name-droppers, prancing expression with the name judge on their letterhead. Also, broadcast to see if what they say comes true.
A true judge preaches remorse and order to God's Law. This has never been a nip send a message to. Citizens aren't generally roughly fanatical about a human being who tells them they wish to shape up their behavior. If you understand of a judge who has acquired an instant and greatly nip back up, hence abide by his or her send a message to to see that it aligns with the bible. A good type but a impressive amusement is Oprah. My bet is that the send a message to won't plan with God's Tidings, for example in the embrace days inhabitants give akin their ears excited and give not stand good quality canon (2 Tim 4:3).
The creative word that is satisfactory to squeeze are men and women of God who bring the Tidings to you absolute, no business what the damage to themselves. Who cover in gaps of understanding with regard to Equally HAS Ahead of BEEN PROPHESIED. Who do not add their own interpretations. Who pay for good fruit. Who may allow assumed everything to you that someone has ahead of been assumed to you with, for previously grant are two witnesses, a thing is expected.
The best thing to do in these embrace days is be strong on the Tidings. Bring to mind scripture. Take an understanding of its precepts. That way, previously you came straddling a knack judge "Brethren, even if part is puzzled in any invade, you who are spiritual, profit such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too give not be tempted."
