Prophecy: And another one bites the dust!



Some mickey mouse prophecies have run out of time.

In this blog post I quoted a Christian leader who, during a gathering of the Revival Alliance in September 2011, made this prophecy:

There’s something about September 1st, I believe you can write it down. I believe you can write it in your journal, that ‘everything changed September 1st 2011’. I feel like it’s a prophetic word over this country (the UK) – September 1st 2011 – everything’s different”

In the November 2012 edition of Christianity magazine there is a report on this September's 2012 Revival Alliance conference. In the report we read:

This conference followed a special more restricted gathering of the Revival Alliance in September 2011…reported in a previous issue of Christianity. Many observers hailed that as a significant time for the UK with many prophetic words suggesting the UK was being given an opportunity to embrace a new move of God…. Some delegates expressed sadness that there was no continuity with what had happened in 2011, though many were thrilled with their experience of God’s presence.

To all intents and purposes this looks like another stale prophecy that’s well past its sell-by-date. But notice the escape clause here:  The UK was being given an opportunity to embrace a new move of God. So will the prophet admit to being culpable for the failure? No! Modern prophets and their followers are canny when it comes to apportioning responsibility for their turkeys: That responsibility will be placed fairly and squarely on the shoulders of all those in the UK who didn't take the opportunity to embrace “a new move of God”! ..... What move of God? Did I miss it?
