Of Prophets, prophecies false or true.

I do not concider myself a Prophet, but I think I have an prophetic edge, others say that I am, but nevertheless I feel concerned enough to share my thoughts and reflections on this matter.   I specifically refer to recent and current events particularly with regard to the USA elections and subsequent events. A few of those prophets repented of the predictions they made regarding Trump (A bit too late, egg on the face already, and damaged the authentisy of the genuine prophetic voice), others still continue to believe they are right, or perhaps to proud to admit error.   Personally I think the Republicans and Evangelical Churches are clutching at straws, and digging up hope that election fraud was committed. Who is to know with 100% certainty, but there needs to be sufficient and plenty of evidence to make that story stick. I am not going to debate who is a false prophet or not, God will be the judge.  However I think that too many of the so called prophets or v...

 I  think we can add a few more to the list, vaccination vs anti-vaccine.

2020, wow what a year, started out for many full of hope and promise, as quite frankly do most years if we're honest. Each year we hope and declare that this year is our own, and we will achieve our plans and goals.  However 2020 thanks to a tiny bug called Covid19 upset the apple cart this year, however even this is not uncommon, many things have destroyed our hopes and visions in years past.  What stands out the most for this year is the many contrasts, paradoxical statements, views and options, plus the new oxymorons that manifest themselves in various ways, and platforms.  A glut of information, of a true and trusted type; to misinformation maybe with good intent, but definitely not accurate, and tons of disinformation, designed  to decieve and other nefarious purposes.  One downfall of social media platforms is that everyone has a means to disseminate information and opinions, this includes sound thinking; to the downright weirdo stuff.   The diff...
