Charisma News - Mocking God with False Apocalyptic Prophecies to Sell Books
By Anthony Wade
This bizarre article on Charisma highlights there is nothing too absurd for them to publish...
::::::::
Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven. - Luke 21:10-11 (ESV)
For those who do not know, Michael Snyder is a failed Congressional candidate from Idaho in 2018, who garnered a whopping ten percent of the vote in the Republican Primary that year. When he is not losing political races, Snyder is a dominionist par excellence over at Charisma News. The above link is to his latest article on Charisma where he seems almost giddy about some dire "prophetic" warnings he received from another YouTube crackpot. I wondered why until I saw in his profile that Snyder is selling a book entitled, "Chaos." The description intimates that this book has Snyder piecing together prophecies that portend apocalyptic events that are imminent. So, it is no surprise that he sought out disturbing videos that support his premise, in the name of Jesus of course. You just can't make this stuff up. Let us reason once more together beloved.
"Are you ready for complete and utter chaos to break loose in 2025? In this article, I am going to share with you a very alarming video that a friend sent over. I watched the entire video, and it really resonated with me. A woman says that an angel showed her 4 major things that are coming in 2025, and all of the major things that this woman was shown have also been seen by others. In recent years, people all over the world have been having supernatural experiences in which details about important events that are going to happen in the future are revealed, and this is something that I have been documenting for a long time. Unfortunately, most of the global population is not interested in such warnings. The video that contains this woman's account of what happened was posted by Joseph of the Great Miracles Avenue YouTube channel. I have come across a number of his videos before, and I really like the guy. He doesn't speak English very clearly, but thankfully you can easily follow along with what he is saying because his words are there for you on the bottom of the screen. If you have a few minutes, I very much encourage you to watch the entire video." - Michael Snyder
Are you ready for utter chaos! Odd that is also the name of the book he is trying to sell, no? Seriously, why are we listening to one crackpot, telling us about another crackpot, who heard about a third person who does not appear stable either? I went to see Joseph's page over at the "Great Miracles Avenue" YouTube channel. One video he was promoting declared that Mel Gibson revealed who the antichrist is. Another claimed he saw Chadwick Boseman in hell. A third said that God showed him the real identity of Michele Obama. I think my referring to this guy as a crackpot was insulting to actual crackpots. Yet this is a guy Snyder really likes and Charisma news thought nothing of promoting? Now, let us see what this third person story looks like:
"According to her testimony, this woman had a very unusual supernatural experience on March 26th. She got home from work at about 9 p.m., and she was quite exhausted. She decided to take a shower, and as she was getting out she fell and hit her head. Then she had some dinner and went to bed. At about 11 p.m. she heard a voice calling her. A little bit later, she once again heard a voice calling her, and this voice was coming from outside. But she didn't want to go outside to see who was saying her name. After that she was taken into a very deep sleep and that is when her experience began. At one point during the experience, it appears that she was standing outside of heaven. An angel suddenly appeared before her, and this angel told her that it was not time for her to go inside yet. This really got my attention, because this is the sort of thing that I have heard in countless near death experiences. Was this woman's head injury far more serious than she realized? The angel told her that her work on Earth had not been completed yet, and she was given a message to take back. In fact, the angel clearly stated that he had been sent to deliver this message to her. The angel explained that in 2025 there will be "a lot more hardship" than we have experienced this year. This goes right along with what so many others have been shown as well. This woman was told that the people of God do not want to turn away from their sins and that God has sent warnings but most have not listened. She was also told that God is not happy with how the leaders of the world are treating His children." - Michael Snyder
You have to be kidding me. So, some lady bumps her head and starting hearing voices and then is whisked away to the Pearly Gates? There she is greeted by an angel according to the story. Let us stand back for a minute. We are supposed to believe that the creator of the entire universe divinely wrote His word but somehow forgot about four warnings for the year 2025 and decided in His unlimited wisdom and with His unlimited resources, to send an angel to tell this unidentified woman, so she could tell someone else, whose promoted videos make him seem like he needs a psych ward, so that Michael Snyder could write about it on Charisma News? Is it any wonder that no one takes the church serious today? What is this dire prophetic word? That 2025 will have more hardship than 2024? That's it? Well, that and the NAR talking point nonsense about how Christians are treated. Let us now see the absolute stupidity of the specifics this "angel" told this woman:
"Following that, the angel went through four major things which are going to happen in 2025.
#1 The angel said that there will be great civil unrest in 2025. The woman saw two people fighting with each other. One was in blue and one was in red. She did not know what the colors mean, but those of us that live in the United States certainly do. For a long time, many of us have been warning that the outcome of the upcoming election will unleash chaos all over the nation.
And now we have yet another confirmation that this will indeed be the case.
#2 The angel said that there will be "economic hardship" in 2025. Of course we are definitely experiencing plenty of "economic hardship" right now, but it sounds like it will get a lot worse during the next calendar year. Apparently there will be a "severe financial crisis", and "all great nations" will be affected by it. And the angel also said that there will be very serious consequences. We will just have to wait and see if this prophecy is fulfilled or not." - Michael Snyder
This is one of the hallmarks of modern false prophets. They spin yarns about prophecies that are so vague as to be able to claim you are correct with your own interpretation. So, 2025 is going to have great civil unrest? Is there any year that doesn't? Or economic hardship? It is interesting that this prophecy gets a little specific here in that all great nations will have a severe financial crisis. I guess we can hold them to this but of course these types of prophecies are rarely tracked unless they get lucky and they can pretend it is fulfilled.
"#3 According to this woman, the angel also said that there will be "famine" in 2025.
That isn't much of a stretch, because famines are breaking out all over the globe here in the middle of 2024. In fact, millions are at risk of starving to death in some parts of Africa by the end of 2024. But if what this woman is saying is true, it sounds like the global food crisis is going to intensify significantly in 2025. The angel explained that there will be "food shortages", and she was instructed to warn people to "store up food". I think that is very wise advice. In poorer countries, supplies of food are going to get tighter and tighter. In wealthier countries, the global food crisis will initially manifest itself through much higher food prices, and that is something we are seeing right now. But it is only a matter of time before we experience food shortages as well.
#4 This woman also claims that the angel showed her that great natural disasters will happen in 2025. The angel said that there will be floods, earthquakes and tsunamis. And the angel also specifically mentioned Europe, America and "some parts of Asia". Needless to say, I have been sounding the alarm about global instability for quite a while. The number of "billion dollar disasters" set an all-time record last year, and I think that we will set another all-time record this year. But it sounds like things could really kick into high gear in 2025." - Michael Snyder
It is not prophetic to look at what is already happening and predict it will continue to happen. That is not prophecy. It is simply logic. Food supplies in poorer countries will get worse? The heck you say! Do not lose sight though that the entire point of this drivel is to gin up interest in his book. That is why everything is couched in the most catastrophic of ways. Great natural disasters? In Europe, Asia and America? Floods, earthquakes and tsunamis? Can she be a little more specific? How vague can this angel be? Note that the actual alleged prophecies are the small snippets supposedly from the woman. So, the specifics Snyder offers are merely his commentary. This way when they do not come true, he will say he never said those were prophetic.
"Interestingly, the angel told this woman that there will be signs "in the last days of 2024" which will confirm what is coming in 2025. I don't know what that means, but for some time I have felt like the last three months of 2024 will represent a major turning point. So, let's see what happens. On a positive note, the angel told this woman that God is looking for those with "a clean and a pure heart." At this time, we should all be seeking to get closer to God. That is more important than any other preparations that we could be making. Because without God there is no hope, but with God all things are possible." - Michael Snyder
How hysterical. I don't know what that means? This now sounds like the silly fake prophecies from Troy Black. Does God stutter? Realize again what is being offered here. Not only did the creator of the universe forget to include four prophecies for 2025 in His word. Not only did He decide to use some random woman to tell some crackpot dude to then tell this failed politician turned apocalypse salesman, but He was not even clear about what He forgot! This is what the NAR apostate church has done to prophecy. Predicting tsunamis is not prophecy. It's fortune telling. It's clairvoyance. It brings no glory to God. You should not need Michael Snyder, Joey Great Miracles, or the nameless lady to know that you should be trying to get closer to God. You do not need to buy a book from a huckster to know that we are in the end times. You do not need faux angels to tell you what God already has said, for example in the key verses above. Do not participate in making a mockery of the Lord.
