REALLY?? -"Why Judgment Prophecies Are Never From God"

-Comment by Andrew Strom


Charisma magazine has just sent out another clanger from a

modern "prophet". It reads as follows-


"Shawn Bolz: Why Judgment Prophecies Are Never From God...

Shawn Bolz says judgment prophecies are never from God

because Jesus already took all of God's judgment for us. While

judgment constituted a large part of Old Testament prophecies,

Bolz says that people today aren't under God's judgment..."


So judgment prophecies are "never" from God?

This, of course, would mean that the entire Book of Revelation

in the Bible is "not from God". It would mean that many of the

prophecies of Jesus are "not from God" and many of the

end-time verses from the New Testament are "not from God".

And that many of the words of the apostles are "not from God".


A big Thankyou once again goes to Shawn Bolz and Charisma

magazine for the 'word' they are spreading.


Should we be surprised?

Really, indeed. It is only a false prophet who would claim judgement prophecies are never from God.

Jeremiah was certainly a prophet sent by God and here is what he has to say about this subject: Jeremiah was giving Jerusalem a message of judgement from God. There were 200 false prophets that said Jeremiah's message was not from God. Here is what God told Jeremiah to tell those so called prophets:

Jeremiah 28 Living Bible (TLB)


28 On a December day in that same year—the fourth year of the reign of Zedekiah, king of Judah—Hananiah (son of Azzur), a false prophet from Gibeon, addressed me publicly in the Temple while all the priests and people listened. He said:

² “The Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, declares: I have removed the yoke of the king of Babylon from your necks. ³ Within two years I will bring back all the Temple treasures that Nebuchadnezzar carried off to Babylon, ⁴ and I will bring back King Jeconiah,^[a] son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the other captives exiled to Babylon, says the Lord. I will surely remove the yoke put on your necks by the king of Babylon.”

⁵ Then Jeremiah said to Hananiah, in front of all the priests and people, ⁶ “Amen! May your prophecies come true! I hope the Lord will do everything you say and bring back from Babylon the treasures of this Temple, with all our loved ones. ⁷ But listen now to the solemn words I speak to you in the presence of all these people. ⁸The ancient prophets who preceded you and me spoke against many nations,alwayswarning of war, famine, and plague. ⁹ So a prophet who foretells peace has the burden of proof on him to prove that God has really sent him. Only when his message comes true can it be known that he really is from God.”

¹⁰ Then Hananiah, the false prophet, took the yoke off Jeremiah’s neck and broke it. ¹¹ And Hananiah said again to the crowd that had gathered, “The Lord has promised that within two years he will release all the nations now in slavery to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.” At that point Jeremiah walked out.

¹² Soon afterwards the Lord gave this message to Jeremiah: ¹³ Go and tell Hananiah that the Lord says: You have broken a wooden yoke, but these people have yokes of iron on their necks. ¹⁴ The Lord, the God of Israel, says: I have put a yoke of iron on the necks of all these nations, forcing them into slavery to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon. And nothing will change this decree, for I have even given him all your flocks and herds.

¹⁵ Then Jeremiah said to Hananiah, the false prophet, “Listen, Hananiah, the Lord has not sent you, and the people are believing your lies. ¹⁶ Therefore the Lord says you must die. This very year your life will end because you have rebelled against the Lord.”

¹⁷ And sure enough, two months later Hananiah died.

Never heard of Shawn Balz before.

I had never heard of him before either Tom; but his false message was a good example of error in much of the church. Thanks for the reply.
