Hello, all. This is something I’ve been wanting to write about for a long time. False prophecies in the Bible, which, when held up to the Biblical standard itself can be nothing other than exactly that — false, and not to be believed, or feared.
The Biblical Standard for Prophecy
Let’s start by using the Bible’s own definitions of false and non-godly prophesy:
“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.”
Here we can clearly see that, according to the Bible, if a so-called prophet predicts something when proclaiming to speak for god, and the thing doesn’t happen, the prophet has spoken presumptuously, of his own accord.
“If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.”
These particular verses let the reader know that some false prophets may even be able to work “miracles” or “signs,” in order to try and deceive the believer into following “other gods.” The Hebrew god says he allows this in order to “proveth,” or test, the believer. This is interesting, as elsewhere in the Bible it is clearly stated that god doesn’t tempt people. Well, what would we call a miracle done right in front of your face to lure you to another god, so-called? But I digress.
With these two passages in mind, let’s get right down to some of the false prophecies in the Bible, made by characters who were written to be the “true prophets” and the good guys of the story — even the so-called “messiah.”
False / Failed Prophecies of the Bible
1. A DESOLATE EGYPT
Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia. No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
Egypt has never been desolate for 40 years as far as history shows, with not a single foot of man or animal passing through it. Even without the historical record, the idea of not a single human or animal existing in Egypt for 40 years is of course hugely suspect. With the available historical record, it would appear Nebuchadnezzar attacked Egypt, but never made it a complete desolate wasteland as Ezekiel predicted. This prophecy also should not be construed to be for some vague future date, as Christians love to do in evading intellectual honesty and good faith arguments. No, the prophecy, whose “day is near” according to Ezekiel/”God,” is explicitly to be carried out by King Nebuchadnezzar, who of course is long since dead.
As a side note, this extensive prophecy also says that the rivers will be completely dry. This has never happened to the Nile, as far as the historic and geographic record shows.
2. JESUS’ FAILED RETURN
“For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.”
“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.”
It’s hard to find more damning examples of Biblically failed prophecy than the two above. As much as many Christians squirm and try to say that Jesus was only speaking metaphorically, about the distant future, or about his subsequent “transfiguration,” the context makes the verses perfectly clear. Jesus told his followers some of them would not die before he came back with his angels and rewards, and before they saw all the cataclysmic signs of the apocalypse. Paul echoes such pronunciations (see directly below). Thus, biblically, Jesus is a false prophet. “This generation” and “some standing here,” have been dead for over 2,200 years. The passages make infinitely more sense when viewed through the lens of the historical Galilean insurrectionism of first-century Judea, and the idea that the “Jesus” character was gearing up to finally overthrow Rome by the sword (or convince his followers to do so with classic religious rhetoric) as so many historically were doing at that time.
“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”
Here we see Paul talking about the resurrection of the dead, aka Christ’s return. Notice what he says, as this is critical: “We shall not all sleep.” In other words “we” (he and others with him at the time) will not all die. Sleep is a biblical euphemism for death, as is commonly known. Paul says that not even everyone there is going to die. He further says that those there with him — “we” — shall be changed. This is describing an imminent event that some whom he was addressing were to expect to happen within their lifetimes.
Paul is another false prophet, according to the biblical standard.
3. THE ‘SPOILING’ OF TYRE (TYRUS)
This one is very interesting because not only was Tyre (Tyrus) not destroyed (it continues to exist today), the Bible immediately, further says its very own prophesies about spoiling the city’s riches didn’t happen:
“For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people … And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water.”
But wait a minute:
“Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled:
yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it: Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil,
and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army. I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD.”
–Ezekiel 29:18-20
So, in order to compensate the Babylonian king for his efforts against Tyre, the Hebrew god promises him the spoils of Egypt, which brings us right back around to the first failed prophecy we discussed above.
Well, there we have it. Ezekiel, Jesus, Paul, and (by default) Yahweh, all appear to be false prophets by the biblical standard. Tyrus, the Nile River, and indeed the whole earth, more than 2,000 years later, remain in spite of all Judaism’s, Christianity’s, and Islam’s disgusting, ridiculous, and ethno-supremacist empty threats. Nature remains. Meanwhile, religion is still attempting to destroy us all with its toxic, anti-life, anti-human lies. How? People believing these fairytales are indeed trying to kill others. They are often massively succeeding at it. They are indeed spreading the shame-based, toxic doctrines, which in a terrible way, can become self-fulfilling prophecy. They are destroying children, ripping apart family and friends, and causing people to kill themselves. They are attempting to make the events of Revelation’s “apocalypse” come to pass in a very evil way, with only an elitist class at the top, ruling the world via Judaist technocracy. And they want you to cheer for it all the way, and accept war and murder and starvation and pedophilia and rape and genocide as “a necessary evil” to “bring about god’s “final plan” of justice (which, by the way, is never coming). Sound like a joke? Talk to any Christian and see how little they care about these things being in their book, or playing out in real-time in places like Gaza. The “New Jerusalem” of the planned events of the psyop that is the book of Revelation (and Isaiahic prophecy) will be a technocratic, elitist, Judaist nightmare, and Christians will cheer for it, thanks to their Bible brainwash.
Let’s not let that happen. For the sake of our children and future generations and, of course, the beautiful natural world as it thrives and inspires us right now, let’s all of us — regardless of birthplace, ethnicity, or background — put a stop to this evil!
Thank you for reading.
