Emerson Judges Prophecy

Tuesday, January 15, 2008

According to the Oxford Book of Literary Anecdotes, a fanatical member of a religious cult once warned Ralph Waldo Emerson that the world would end within 10 days. “Well,” Emerson replied without a hint of worry, “no doubt we’ll get on very well without it.”Do you think Emerson believed this nutbag for a moment? No, and neither should  you when goofy prophetic types prophesy such non-sense. The Bible clearly states that no one but the Father knows when the world will come to an end. So why all the foolishness in the prophetic ministry?

What’s the goofiest prophetic word you’ve ever heard?
