YES, Gerald Flurry is a False Prophet!

The article, Is Gerald Flurry a False Prophet? From the 2025 March-April Royal Vision by Joel Hilliker, seeks to defend Gerald Flurry’s prophetic credentials despite his incorrect prediction that Donald Trump would “remain” America’s president after the 2020 election.

The article’s defence of Gerald Flurry, however, crumbles when his actual statements and actions are considered. It asserts that Gerald Flurry differs from Deuteronomy’s false prophets because he interprets prophecy (e.g., Trump as Jeroboam via Amos 7) rather than claiming “God told me to say this.” The single exception—his auditory revelation in The New Throne of David—is conveniently dismissed as a study prompt, not a command to proclaim. (page 25)

Ultimately, the article’s focus on technical prophecy misses the forest for the trees. Whether Gerald Flurry speaks “in the name of the Lord” or not, his errors mislead. Matthew 23:13 rebukes leaders who “shut the kingdom” with misguided teaching; Ezekiel 13:3 woes “foolish prophets” who follow their own spirit, as we shall now see.


The article states on page 22, “Does the Bible say that getting the details or the timing wrong on such a prophecy disqualifies someone as a true prophet of God? The scripture commonly cited is Deuteronomy 18:22: “When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.” Thus the thought is that a single error in expounding on prophecy proves that God is not behind that prophet.”

When Joel Hilliker says “a single error”, he is alluding to Gerald Flurry using the word “Remain”. Couple this with the quote page 24, “This emphasizes the man speaking “in the name of the Lord. This prophet is saying, Here is a message God gave me to give you. It does not say “if a prophet speaks,” or “if a prophet says something about the future”.

We will now demonstrate and PROVE that Gerald Flurry said a LOT more than one little error in a passing statement as Joel Hilliker is clearly wanting you to believe.

Gerald Flurry – not just a New Testament prophet

Let us clarify that we are not discussing any ordinary New Testament prophet like Agabus here. Gerald Flurry claims to be the fulfilment of the prophesied “That Prophet” from John 1:21, sent by God in the end times. This “unknown” (as Flurry calls it) prophet was prophesied of long before the New Testament and before Jesus even started his ministry. How else could the Priests and Levites (v.19), followed by the Pharisees (v.24) have known to even ask about “That Prophet”? This alludes to the highest and strictest of standards and laws, in the same way the Church still upholds the Laws and Holy Days given through Moses after Jesus Christ “magnified” the law. Why then would the Philadelphia Church of God not hold to the teachings of Moses in Deuteronomy 18 after God “magnified” the office of “That Prophet”?

After all, a prophet who didn’t give prophecy would not be a prophet, right? You can not “magnify the office” while at the same time minimising or removing the criteria and changing the rules for a prophet.

What Joel Hilliker is attempting to say here is that John the Baptist came in the spirit and power of Elijah, the Messiah came as one like Moses, but this “unknown prophet” came with the spirit of hit-and-miss and might be right. Talk about a lukewarm watering down, lowering of the standards, looking for loopholes mindset!

Let’s revisit key Gerald Flurry quotes from his 1999 That Prophet sermon series..

“God wants to magnify my office, and I do believe I fill the office of that prophet”
Gerald Flurry
Gerald Flurry1999 That Prophet Pt1
“God has revealed a great deal to me, and there’s no way you could understand what I understand. There is no way, and I’m talking about it in the office now, there’s no way you could understand what I understand because God just gives me something [divine] He doesn’t give you because of that responsibility of the office.”
Gerald Flurry
Gerald Flurry1999 That Prophet Pt2
“And if you don’t have a prophet, you’re blind, right? Because you see, as I said before, God gives something special to that office. He gives sight to that office. He gives sight to His church.”
Gerald Flurry
Gerald Flurry1999 That Prophet Pt2
“But think of all that God gives this man. Now, He really does give him something special.”
Gerald Flurry
Gerald Flurry1999 That Prophet Pt2
“I mean, if God is giving you His revealed prophecy or truth…”
Gerald Flurry
Gerald Flurry1999 That Prophet Pt2
“But if that human being has to represent God, let’s give God the credit for what He does.”
Gerald Flurry
Gerald Flurry1999 That Prophet Pt2
“God is revealing to a prophet.”
Gerald Flurry
Gerald Flurry1999 That Prophet Pt2
“There is an office, there is government, and there is a man, and then there is a church, and that man has to give direction to that church.”
Gerald Flurry
Gerald Flurry1999 That Prophet Pt2

With these facts, we can conclude that Gerald Flurry holds a divinely appointed prophetic office, God grants him exclusive revelations and spiritual insight, which he alone can understand and convey to lead the church with divine authority.

Speaking “in the name of the Lord” in the New Testament.

Agabus, a New Testament Prophet, took Paul’s belt, tied his own hands and feet, and declared:

“Thus says the Holy Spirit: ‘So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”

Thus says the Holy Spirit would incur the same judgment from Deuteronomy 18 as saying “Thus says the Lord” or “God says” or “Jesus Christ says”.

Amos 3:7: “Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.” revealeth – communication between God and a Man, It could be a voice, a vision, or the Holy Spirit via the pages of the Bible, its all the same, God is communicating.

On page 23 Joel Hilliker says; “The Bible’s prophecies were directly inspired by God to specific men through His Holy Spirit; that is how God works. And today, Peter is saying, those inspired prophecies of Scripture must be explained by men whom God specifically moves to do so by the Holy Spirit..”

God does give His prophet special insight into the Scriptures. Mr. Flurry didn’t ‘figure out’ or privately interpret Psalm 83, Daniel 11, 2 Kings 14, Amos 7 and countless other passages. God revealed those scriptures and put His servant’s mind onto the relevant world events.

So God reveals the interpretation of the scriptures to Gerald Flurry e.g. Amos 7. Does he do this with a vision? A voice? No, according to Gerald Flurry and Hilliker, it’s by the Holy Spirit. This is the “something special” given to him right? That is how he receives “Revelation”, or the communication from God. So it is either from the Holy Spirit (the spirit of truth) or its from a man.

“And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, to be with you forever—the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.”
John 14:16-17
John 14:16-17The Bible
“When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of Truth who proceeds from the Father—He will testify about Me.”
John 15:26
John 15:26The Bible
“When the Spirit of Truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come.”
John 15:26
John 15:26The Bible

Furthermore, Gerald Flurry has often said, “The Bible is Jesus Christ in print,” therefore he is saying, “thus says Jesus Christ” when he frequently preaches, “It’s right there in the Bible,” or “So says your Bible“. 

Add to this that when “That [prophesied] Prophet” speaks, it goes out to the entire Church, from the podium in “GODS HOUSE”, on the Sabbath day (the day with God’s presence), after an opening prayer asking for God’s guidance on what is said and placing the service in Jesus’s name into GODS HANDS!

After reviewing the above, Joel Hilikers’ comments regarding Deuteronomy 18:22 on page 24 “It does not say “if a prophet speaks, or if a prophet says something about the future” sound pathetic, childish, and is a calculated effort to deceive. He makes it sound like Gerald Flurry is simply having a chat and musing about some ideas around the dinner table.

It is ironic that it was Joel Hiliker who wrote:

“That prophecy from Mr. Flurry is out there.
We have advertised his article “Why Donald Trump Will Remain America’s President” on our website, in many online news sources and social media channels, to millions of subscribers of the Epoch Times, Newsmax and RealClearPolitics, plus Arutz Sheva in Israel and campaigns in Europe. The article has attracted a quarter million page views on theTrumpet.com in English and thousands more in other languages.
Mr. Flurry’s prophecy is out there. And now only God can back him up.”
“Many people are watching us closely. If God does not intervene, a lot of people would feel justified in accusing Mr. Flurry of being a false prophet.”

Joel Hilliker
Why This Inauguration Day Is Especially Historic

The Herbert Armstrong Quote.

The article then quotes Herbert Armstrong from the February 1972 issue of Tomorrow’s World. Joel Hilliker Includes part of this, but not all.

So let’s keep reading just a little further, Herbert Armstrong says:

“Let’s take a look at the Church of God of the first century, as we find it revealed in the Book of Acts, beginning from the day of Pentecost, 31 A.D.The Bible was not fully written – only the Old Testament-in 31 A.D. God then was still communicating new truth, instruction and knowledge directly and personally to prophets. As the Church progressed, it was the function of a prophet to communicate to the apostles special messages which God had personally revealed to them. Others were inspired in the writing of the books of the New Testament. So we read, in Acts 11:28 and 21:10 – 11, of the prophet Agabus. But today we have the complete Word of God, for our time, in the Bible. There are no such prophets – except false ones.”

Herbert Armstrong
February 1972 issue of Tomorrow’s World

In a sermon entitled “The Man of Sin” Gerald Flurry makes the following quote: “I think it could fall into the category of, well, a deeper understanding and maybe even new revelation from God.”

In the Haggai: God Has Begun to Shake the Nations booklet, the first line reads “God has revealed some universe-shaking new truth…” and “God has shown me from the Bible…”

Is saying “New truth” different to saying “new revelation”? Is the revelation not truthful? Clearly, it is one and the same thing. And as we have proven in the last section, it is directly to Gerald Flurry, through the Holy Spirit in the same way as Agabus. There is no other way! Remember Gerald Flurry is given MORE than Agabus because of his office and that he is the fulfilment of the prophesied “That Prophet”.


Now notice the last sentence, “There are no such prophets – except false ones.”

Also please remember that Herbert Armstrong also taught that the Bible interprets the Bible. Anything outside of that is adding to and IS prophesying.

Mr Armstrong’s quote actually condemns Gerald Flurry instead of supporting him as the article claims.

The Thing

Now, please note that Deuteronomy 18:22 says; if the “Thing follow not, nor come to pass”. 

Let’s define what the “Thing” is in this case. In a sermon entitled “Where Are We In Bible Prophecy Part 1” given in mid-January of 2021, Gerald Flurry, who carries the self-proclaimed titles of That Prophet, Watchman, Apostle, and King (just to name a few), stood at the podium, on the Sabbath, inside “God’s House,” before the congregation, and says “I’m saying GOD is going to keep President Trump in office. That’s what I’m saying. And it’s right there in the Bible.” [or so says Jesus Christ] and, “But I talked about Mr. Trump remaining president. Well, did he? God says he did!

By tying his predictions to the authority of Scripture—which he equates with the very words of Jesus Christ, Gerald Flurry is effectively speaking “in the name of the Lord.” Deuteronomy 18:22 does not limit its test to prophets claiming new visions; it applies to anyone who invokes God’s authority regarding a future event as this is prophecy. When Gerald Flurry said, “This is the last official election in America,” and “Joe Biden becoming president is contrary to Bible prophecy [what Jesus says],” he presented these as divinely inspired/revealed truths, not mere opinions.

Clearly, this is not the Bible interpreting the Bible, this is Gerald Flurry adding to it.

So exactly what is Gerald Flurry’s “Thing”? Let’s review some quotes from his sermons around 2020 – onwards…

“But it does appear very strongly that, well, this man [Joe Biden] is going to be president of the United States. But I absolutely do not believe that at all.”

“That is I’m certainly 99.9% sure that we’re absolutely right about that prophecy, and I think it’s easy for just about anybody to prove.”
Gerald Flurry
Gerald Flurry2020 – 2023 Sermon quotes
“And I also believe that God has shown me this is my view, that he has something to say about that stolen election as well. So if we study Amos Seven, you’re going to see that President or Mr. Trump’s going to be president again. But again, you have to think about, well, there’s not even a hint of any, let’s say any time between his presidencies or him not even being president. You don’t read that anywhere. So there’s not even a hint of that.”
Gerald Flurry
Gerald Flurry2020 – 2023 Sermon quotes
“there is no gap there. There’s nothing there because God knows it was a stolen election. And so He looks upon Mr.Trump as being president of the United States.”
Gerald Flurry
Gerald Flurry2020 – 2023 Sermon quotes
“I’m not trying to defend my error if it was an error, but it is conceivable that God could have allowed my article error and to because that way he brought me into Amos seven again and was able to make me start asking some questions. Well, if there is a gap there between presidencies of Mr. Trump, why didn’t God tell us about it, at least have a word or two about it in Amos Seven? And there’s nothing there that I can see at all, not a word about some gap between Mr. Trump’s presidencies. And that would be, well, that would be, you could say, a kind of message from God saying, well, there is no gap because he’s still President. And if they prove somewhere sometime soon that they stole the election and God makes sure they do understand it and do expose it before the whole world, well, then doesn’t that make Mr. Trump president?”
Gerald Flurry
Gerald Flurry2020 – 2023 Sermon quotes
”God didn’t give us even a hint that there was a time gap in Amos chapter seven. And I asked the question, did you ever wonder why? Or did I ever wonder why? Well, why wouldn’t he do that? Well, is it because in his mind, Mr. Trump is still President! After all, if he had it stolen from him, then it should just flow right on with him being president”
Gerald Flurry
Gerald Flurry2020 – 2023 Sermon quotes
“Why is it God didn’t put a gap there? Well, because there isn’t one.”

Gerald Flurry2020 – 2023 Sermon quotes
“Now this could lead into a small civil war or problems like that, but something has to reverse that election, the way the world views it. But if you look at the way God views it, he’s in the presidency.”
Gerald Flurry
Gerald Flurry2020 – 2023 Sermon quotes
“Mr. Trump to come back. Whether it be whether there’ll be some military action there or not, we don’t know. But I’ll just tell you something….. Verse 28 says that Trump is being or is king or president during that war.”
Gerald Flurry
Gerald Flurry2020 – 2023 Sermon quotes
“If you understand all that we do about this prophecy, then this also tells you the election was stolen. Verses 26 through 29 tells you that Trump is president from the time God sent him to the very end of his life”.

Gerald Flurry
Gerald Flurry2020 – 2023 Sermon quotes

The above compiles the “Thing”. Gerald Flurry’s interpretation of Amos 7 was wrong. Where he says “Coming Back” he clearly meant to the current term. This was later twisted when he won the 2024 election and it was proclaimed “We I said he was coming back”!

The test is simple: Did these events come to pass as prophesied/predicted/interpreted/forecasted? Trump did not win, he lost the presidency, he lost the office, he lost the control,  Maria Zach did not expose the election, there was no civil war, no court reversed the 2020 election, there was no earthquake, the midterms changed nothing, and so on. This was not a single minor detail or timing issue—it was everything he was saying for years. Deuteronomy 18:22 labels such as a failure.

Gerald Flurry believed his own interpretation of the Bible and was deceived, and this fact is proved. He then taught this to the entire church, and all those followers who believed him, were deceived as well as a consequence.

This deception was sent out into the world via the largest online marketing campaign in the history of the PCG, declaring that Trump will remain the president. This robbed God (Malachi 3:8).

This was the “work” of the Philadelphia Church of God, so far off track. Leading people into deceit and darkness, clearly not following Jesus in the light of truth.

In John 14:6 Jesus says I am the truth. What Gerald Flurry is leading his followers to is deception, and this falls under Deuteronomy 13:1-5 and Matthew 7:15-20.

Flurry’s Shifting Narrative:
From “Win” → “Remain” → “Recover” → “Return”.

The article acknowledges Flurry’s error but excuses it by noting Trump’s eventual return in 2024, suggesting the prophecy was broadly correct despite a “four-year hiatus.” This defense collapses under the scrutiny we have shown. Flurry’s original claim was not a vague prediction of Trump’s return but a specific assertion that Trump would remain in office without interruption. Quotes like, “God didn’t give us even a hint that there was a time gap in Amos chapter seven,” and “It’s just one flowing event and there’s no hint of a gap or a pause,” show he explicitly ruled out any break in Trump’s presidency. His later adjustments—”Remain” became “Regain,” then “Return”—demonstrate a pattern of retrofitting his prophecy to fit reality, not divine inspiration.

Scripture warns against such flexibility in prophetic claims. In Jeremiah 28, the false prophet Hananiah declared, “Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,” promising deliverance from Babylon within two years (Jeremiah 28:2-4). When this failed, Hananiah did not get a pass for it only being a “timing issue” and “partially correct”God condemned him as a liar, and he died (Jeremiah 28:15-17). Flurry’s claim that “God says he did” remain president, despite Biden’s term, is an attempt to rewrite history, contradicting observable facts and undermining his credibility.

From the series of quotes provided, it’s plain to see that Gerald Flurry’s overarching prophecy, which he was communicating to the church, was;

  • Trump would win the 2020 election – said all through 2019.
  • Biden would not become President on inauguration day.
  • Trump would remain the president.
  • Trump would recover the presidency – becoming the 46th president of the USA.
  • And right at the end, he changed it to return to the presidency, implying a 2024 victory and the 25th presidency will do.

So I ask, was Stephen Flurry being deceptive—even with the title of his Trumpet Daily program, “Gerald Flurry Was Right About Donald Trump”?

He goes on in the programme to say, “Where my father talked about Donald Trump coming back. He said he would remain in power. And then he said, following that, this is back in 2021. Okay, maybe I shouldn’t have used the word remain, but he will come back. But even there, the thing of it is, in God’s eyes, he did remain in power. Because everything that happened in 2020 was illegitimate and fake. As I played for you earlier today, Donald Trump is back. And the truth of it is, he never left power.

He never was out of office. In God’s eyes, he’s won the presidency of the United States three straight times! Three times!”

Nathan The Prophet.

In Deuteronomy 18:22, presumptuously is better translated as rebelliously, because the individual is not speaking the truth, and God is truth, this is what makes the prophet false, therefore it is not from God. Satan is the author of lies and deceit, so it is rebellion to speak on behalf of God a untruth.

Speaking rebelliously or untruthfully, is the result, but the cause is the “Thing”.

This knowledge and understanding alone completely undermine the article’s accusations against Nathan under the subheading Were Biblical Prophets Infallible? On page 26. The writer states: 

“In 2 Samuel 7, King David approached the Prophet Nathan about the idea of building a temple for God. “And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the Lord is with thee” (verse 3). David would have taken this to be God endorsing his plan. But Nathan hadn’t consulted God. One might even argue that Nathan “spoke presumptuously in the name of the Lord.” That night, God corrected His prophet and gave him a different message to deliver to David—an inspiring message that David’s son would build a temple and that God would preserve David’s throne forever (verses 4-16). Nathan, once corrected, faithfully conveyed these words to the king (verse 17). Surely he had to begin by apologizing and acknowledging that his prior counsel had been wrong. But that mistake didn’t make Nathan a false prophet. God continued to use him.

This, totally false statement is an attempt to discredit one of God’s True Canonized Prophets to justify a false one!

Let’s review what Nathan said. “And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the Lord is with thee” (verse 3).

So what is the “Thing” here? Nathan is essentially saying, “yeah, sounds like a plan, God made you the King so who am I to stand in your way.”

Was Nathan untruthful? Was Nathan wrong in saying God is with you to David?

If this is the “Thing”, where is the prophecy or forecast in it? There is nothing to judge against Deuteronomy 18:22. “if the thing follow not, nor come to pass”, because there was nothing to come to pass.

Compare this to Gerald Flurry’s statement “I’m saying GOD is going to KEEP President Trump in Office, that’s what I’m saying, and it’s right there in the BibleNow this is a Thing!

Note:
The article also attempts to pull down the Disciples when they were speaking out of hope, and Jonah for getting it wrong, the Apostles for only knowing in part or prophesying in part. These arguments are so weak, I will not even address them at this time.

Agabus.

Let’s compare Agabus, a non-prophesied, New Testament prophet, to That Prophet” [Gerald Flurry]. As Joel Hilliker says on page 27 “He [Jesus Christ] uses fulfilled prophecy to establish the credentials of His servants. Jesus Christ said ‘You shall know them by their fruits’”.

Agabus:

  • Was not prophesied to come.
  • He was labelled a prophet because what he said happened, it was based upon evidence and “fruit”. He had passed the Deuteronomy 18:22 challenge.
  • Was not the one and only man God was giving revelation to.
  • He was not the leader of the Church
  • He did not proclaim his interpretation of the Holy Spirit to the entire Church from the podium in “God’s House” with a “Must be played in all congregations” CD.
  • To believe it or not, was not a matter of salvation.
  • The Church did not cast members out of the fellowship if they were sceptical.
  • The Church believed his claims and supported them financially 
  • Agabus said these things in A.D. 44.
  • The severe famine happened in Judea around A.D. 45-46 just as he said.
  • It was completely fulfilled.
  • A true Prophet

Gerald Flurry:

  • Was prophesied to be a prophet and watchman to the church/world in this end time.
  • Declared himself into the office.
  • Is the only Prophet God is sending in the end time.
  • Is the one and only leader of the Church
  • Proclaimed his message of “GOD Says” to the entire church while standing at the podium, on the Sabbath day, in Holy time, after the opening prayer which placed the service into God’s hands, and asked for the divine instructions that come through the office of That Prophet as his office gives sight to the church, without him the Church is blind.
  • Rejecting the words of “That Prophet” was considered rejecting the Church of Christ
  • The Church followed his claims and supported him financially through Tithes [Gods money]. Millions were spent publicising Why Donald Trump Will Remain the President” under the Trumpets catchphrase “Tomorrow’s News Today”.
  • Members were cast out of the church for being sceptical or refusing to call Biden “The fake President)
  • Gerald Flurry said these things in 2020.
  • From 2020 – 2024 Trump did not “Remain” nor did he “Recover”. Biden was the 46th Presidant.
  • It was completely unfulfilled, Trump was never, nor ever will be the 46th president.
  • A false Prophet.

So what did God do? God removed Trump from office. He was an arrogant leader, who looked certain on gaining another term. How hard it must have been, how improbable it was, how jaw-dropping amazing it was to see Joe Biden and his cohorts pull off one of the greatest frauds in history to secure the presidency and leadership of a nation. This is far from the first time this has happened, leaders have been murdered, poisoned, abducted, cheated etc. throughout history. How they obtained it does not matter, it’s the obtaining which matters. Not once has it ever happened against God’s will. 

Gerald Flurry BELIEVED an error, he was deceived, therefore everyone who supported him and the advertising campaign (the proclaiming) was also in error, therefore they were all following a MAN. There is no way out of this fact, this is the side of history they find themselves on.

Fruits of Destruction: A Lost Generation

The proclamation of an uninterrupted Trump presidency misled followers, especially young teens and adults raised in the PCG’s insular world. When Biden assumed office, Flurry’s refusal to repent (“But this is not a failed prophecy. It’s not a prophecy at all,”) and his blaming of God (“it’s conceivable that God could have allowed my article error,”) shattered trust. For parents, it proved impossible to explain and justify these statements to their young children and teens. Many left the church—36 in one month alone. Most of the young ones became agnostic, their faith in God destroyed by his ego and self-importance. Families split, relationships broke, and a generation was lost, branded as “disciples of the devil” for questioning him. This chaos, not divine order, are the marks of history on Flurry’s legacy.

Manipulation and Fear: A False Narrative

Flurry’s response to failure—calling the election stolen (“God KNOWS it was a stolen election,”) and insisting Trump remained president in God’s eyes (“Well, if God says He’s president, who’s going to stand up to God?”)—is a tactic of control, not correction. His half-hearted apology (“I certainly deeply apologize… or whatever,”) and claim that dissenters need God’s correction (“those people out there need correction,”) shift blame, while his threat of divine judgment (“we’re all going to be judged by our faith in this work,”) instills fear. This mirrors Jeremiah 23:16: “Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.” Flurry’s narrative forced followers to accept his error or face expulsion from the church, fracturing families. Anyone who did not refer to Joe Biden as “The Fake President” or disagree with Trump not being in power was cast out of the church and all contact with them was cut off.

One of the most repeated messages in the Bible is “Fear not” or “Do not be afraid.” These commands appear over 300 times throughout Scripture, reminding God’s people to trust in Him rather than be overcome by fear—even in the face of false prophets and deception.
False teachers often use fear and deception to mislead people, twisting Scripture to suit their own agendas. But God reassures His followers not to be afraid, because truth is found in Him alone. Rather than fearing the claims of false teachers, believers are called to stand firm in God’s truth. As in Deuteronomy 18:22 “you shall not be afraid of him.” (Amp version)

Conclusion

As we have proved beyond doubt, saying God says, so says your Bible, this is new revelation, while being the appointed leader of the Church, in front of the congregation, holding an office of “Prophet”, is saying “In The Name Of The Lord”. And the spirit of the verse definitely applies. This article clearly twists scripture to find a loophole to keep the status quo in their organisation.  

On page 27 he says: Gerald Flurry does not receive new prophecies; he explains the prophecies of the Bible. If that is the case, then he is not a prophet, he is an explainer. 

But John 1:21 doesn’t say are you  Elijah, Messiah, or The Explainer now does it?

I do agree with Jole Hilliker on the following two points that he makes on page 23:

“If you go searching for understanding, you will quickly find yourself in a thicket of contradictory ideas.”

“When individuals try to interpret prophecy on their own, confusion results.”

“Trump Will Remain America’s President, That turned out to be wrong.”

This is more than delusion, it is Heretical.

If you believed what Gerald Flurry believed and preached in 2020 – 2023, You were deceived!

Gerald Flurry is a man who reads the Bible and formulates an opinion, completely convincing himself it is truth, and believing it himself, he teaches it to others as the leader of the Church and a prophesied figure. He 100% falls into the judgment of Deuteronomy 13 & 18.

Call it what you want, a false or fake prophet, an incorrect interpreter, a misleading explainer, an erroneous forecaster, an errant speculator, an untruthful teacher, a deluded forecaster, the fruit of his works and the facts speak for themselves.

Can anyone honestly say that if Trump had won the 2020 election, Gerald Flurry would not have claimed it as fulfillment of HIS prophecy? 

Listen to Christ’s call: “Take heed that no man deceive you” (Matthew 24:4).
