Must See – What Is God’s Point In This Minor Covid-19 Crisis? You Need To Know Because A ‘Big One’ Is Coming (video, right), Terry Bennett, 3/29/20, Messengers Of Shiloh
CS Commentary: First 10 minutes from about 8:00 to 18:00 (after opening prayer) is essential and a good intro to the message. Terry points out that much of the prophetic, even that that Jesus spoke, took time to unfold. Jesus’ declaration of the destruction of the temple took 37 years to be fulfilled – much of the church must have wondered whether it was a false prophecy or whether it would really happen. It did. In the same way, those (negative, apparently unbelievable) things prophesied today will happen. God’s main point? When He shakes everything let Christ arise within us more greatly and become more prominent than ever before. If the outward can shake me, then Hebrews 12 is revealed. The real truth in Jesus is offensive, because its not ‘I’m ok, you’re ok’ it’s uncomfortable and confrontational. The economies of the world are shaking over such a little thing – way worse is coming. At 1:37: Difficult times are here to stay. This is but a trial or test run – Coronavirus is not a ‘big anything.’ Terry: “Much of what the Lord has shown myself and others is still a bit in front of us.” He believes the 2020’s will be a “mix of good, bad, and extraordinary ugly.” Get close to the Lord. Judgments we have experienced so far are in the 1-3 category. Those we will experience are in a 5-6, and on up, category. Get out of debt. “This pandemic is not a big one. A Big One is coming.” Last 20 minutes speaks of all of this and about what’s coming over the next decade.

CS Evaluation: John Paul Jackson Prophesied About A Second Pandemic, Shawn A. Akers, Charisma
CS Evaluation: As we’ve said previously, no, this is not the End Times virus that JPJ prophesied about – a little checking would have made that clear to Charisma. According to the website JPJ founded, Streams Ministries, JPJ prophesied about an End Times virus that would be typified by red splashes or a red rash. He also prophesied about another virus before that one that would create a lot of fear and be thought to be the one to worry about. That sounds a lot like Coronavirus – but only time will tell. As we’ve shown, H1N1 in 2009 was so far a lot worse than this one in terms of infected and number of deaths. But, it is still early – and regardless, for various reasons, mostly the contagion effect and the uncertainty, Coronavirus has caused a lot more fear and panic. For more on this, see the Common Sense Interpretation section, below.

Prophetic Encounter: This Is Not The End, I’m Sifting My People (video, left), Rodney Howard Browne, The River
CS Commentary: This is a long recording, but the relevant part starts around 2:54 on the video. We don’t agree with Browne’s End Times timeline or his (apparent) rapture theology (we don’t expect the church to be ‘taken away’ for much longer than him), but this just illustrates how God is not concerned about our traditions or theology so much as He is about our faith and character and willingness to obey Him. Browne shares what to us seems like a genuine, true, and encouraging prophetic encounter, one that aligns with what CS has been saying all along about this crisis.

Two Minutes With JPJ: Where Are We In ‘The Perfect Storm?” The Eye Of The Hurricane, (video, right), John Paul Jackson, Tru News/Real Thing TV
CS Commentary: Here, we again see the difficulty related to interpretive attempts, especially related to timing. JPJ pinpoints 2015 as the date to come out of the ‘eye’, but that has obviously been ‘pushed back.’ More than one prophet is now pointing to 2021-22. However, we must always allow for the effects of intercession and repentance from God’s people, and even more, the grace and mercy of God.

The Coming Perfect Storm (video,right), John Paul Jackson, Cheesman Romero/Jim Bakker Show
CS Commentary: In this important video, we get a clear explanation of exactly what ‘the coming Perfect Storm’ involves: the perfect alignment of ‘five types of events that had never happened before.’ The Perfect Storm prophecy regards multiple things in each of the five areas – Religion, Politics, Economics, War, and Geophysical – and is a global event. JPJ describes it as a ‘ten year period of escalation.’ But then he puts the dates of 2010 to 2020 on it. These dates have been pushed back in CS’s opinion. As to that phenomenon and the attacks of ‘false prophecy’ relative to this that some will erroneously make we refer the reader to Evaluating Prophets And Prophecy.

A ‘Bomb Cyclone’ Just Hit California – Is This The Key Prophetic Sign That John Paul Jackson Warned Us About? Michael Snyder, 365 Prophetic
CS Evaluation: We live in California and at least here in Southern California, the ‘Bomb Cyclone’ was not even noticed. This, in and of itself, doesn’t necessarily mean anything – except if almost nobody notices something how can it be a ‘sign’ or a ‘warning?’ This link explains a ‘bomb cyclone’ – as does this NY Times 2 minute link – its basically nothing but a severe, fast developing winter storm, but not near as bad as a hurricane, and nothing to get upset about. I suppose it sounds alarming because of the name – but a little investigation proves otherwise. It appears to be a relatively common occurrence.
We have evaluated John Paul’s ‘Perfect Storm’ prophecy below and whether or not it is in the process of being fulfilled and noted that the ‘events’ Snyder points to are presumptuous as to its fulfillment. We should not use the prophetic or our interpretation – or misinterpretation – of it as some sort of alarmist cry that brings attention to ourselves, our political career, or articles that we want to get published. This does not serve the prophetic or the Body of Christ in general.
Michael Snyder Says John Paul Jackson’s ‘Perfect Storm’ Prophecy Is Happening Now – Is It? Shawn A. Akers, Charisma
CS Evaluation: Though there is much continued potential for Jackson’s prophecy to begin to unfold, we don’t believe that we are there yet. Snyder mentions Trump’s impeachment, worsening manufacturing numbers, and ‘plummeting global trade’ as signs. Dubious. Jackson referred to a confluence of events as evidence of the ‘perfect storm.’ As John Paul himself says in the video above in Must See Videos (see our updated commentary), it is a confluence of crises in 5 areas: economic, government, religious, war, and geo-physical. It is not just one event in each area, but many events in each area that will occur at the same time. No, the ‘Perfect Storm’ prophecy is not here yet.

The Stock Markets, Money And The Bible, Michael Brown, Charisma
CS Evaluation: A pretty one-sided treatment of money and investing, and fear-based relative to the stock markets. Proverbs also has plenty of other wealth advice like ‘throw your seed on many waters’, etc.

The Gift Of Prophecy Vs. The Ministry Of The Prophet (video, right), Jeremiah Johnson
CS Commentary: This is a good beginning on the distinction between the gift and the office. 1 Corinthians 12-14 delineates the gift, while Jeremiah 1, 18 and 23 elaborates on the office and true ministry of the prophet. While any believer may prophesy or operate in the gift at any time, there are those who have the gift of prophecy. Of those who have the gift there are fewer who are called into the ministry of a prophet. Miriam is a type of the ministry of a prophet; Moses is a type of the office of prophet (see Numbers 12). Of those who have the ministry of prophet, there are even fewer who attain the office of prophet. Even in the office of prophet, there are distinctions between personality, function, and call. For some of this theology, see 1-2 Kings. Also see Sadhu Selvaraj’s messages on prophets and the prophetic.

Movies:
The Kingmaker, Official Trailer (video, left), Showtime
CS Commentary: Fascinating look inside the Philippines and the cult following of Imelda Marcos, First Lady from 1965-1986 with her husband, Ferdinand Marcos. They got Imelda, who with her husband stole $5 to 10 Billion from the Filipino people, to open up and show the unconscious, narcissistic side of her personality but they don’t provide the context the viewer so wants and needs to come to concrete conclusions about her, Marcos or the present political situation in the Philippines. Were things really better under Marcos? Why does poverty prevail now? Who is Imelda’s son, Bongbong, really? What beliefs and values are behind the politicians on both sides? Why do Filipinos apparently accept that ‘politics is a road to wealth?’ Just a few of the obvious questions any documentary on this subject should answer. Instead it takes the usual liberal, Hollywood slant making it still hard to know what to believe about the present state of the nation – but not about Imelda and her husband. CS Grade: B-

Quotes Of The Month:
“Perception is real, the truth is not.” — Imelda Marcos, former First Lady of The Philippines, 1965 – 1986 who, with her husband, Ferdinand Marcos, siphoned between $5-$10 billion from the Filipino people. Her fortune today is estimated to be over $30 billion.
