“And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath
not spoken?  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.”-Deuteronomy 18:21

It needs to said—again and again: it is time for balance in the operation of prophecy. Rampaging on the landscape of alternative media (shortwave, satellite, web radio) are a strange brew of enterprising personalities, who apparently think the prophetic mantle includes running a “fear for profit” cottage industry.

Steve Quayle

The “big league” master is Steve Quayle, who claims he was “sent…as a prophet to the nations, after the order of Jeremiah.”

(Note: as was pointed out to me by a listener named Glenn, the Jeremiah quote which I attributed to Quayle, is actually from Stephen Bening—I mistakenly dropped the quote from Bening (found on Quayle’s website) into my notes as being from Quayle). My apologies to the listeners for the confusion–I goofed!)

Quayle makes his living selling gold and survival supplies via his presence on shortwave, satellite,  and internet radio. The MAJOR product which Quayle peddles is FEAR, GLOOM, and DOOM.  And buy some gold and survival supplies, please!

He enjoys tremendous popularity on George Nouri’s “Coast To Coast” and the Alex Jones Show.  Abetted by one of “many inside sources” , the pseudononymous “Hawk Talon”—he scares the crap out of the still  gullible “Christians” who thrive on the adrenaline bursts of his daily “alerts”.

The other side of the spectrum includes weird rod-dipping, death curse emitting, adulterous wackos, like Matthew Stephen and Stephen Bening; the date-setting (and missing) Vincent Xavier and the strange doctrines and missed dates of Benjamin Baruch.

The issues in the prophetic movement are deep and grave. Genuine prophets, now submerged in the backdrop are rising up. The time to get the house in order is nearly full. God judges HIS house first, and the prophets are first in line if they  do not cease their fear-mongering and idle predictions.
