Past Due Prophecy: We Should Have Warned You!

By: Rev. Jack Cascione

It was an awesome responsibility, but Reclaim News chose not to warn its readers about prophecies of impending disaster in our possession from which many of you could have been saved.  Your very life was in our hands.  We took a calculated risk that if you had lost your life you wouldn’t have known that we could have warned you.

Reclaim News received these prophecies for May 7, 2003 , on February 10, 2003 but didn’t send them out until they were a week past their due date.  Sorry about that.  Now we have to throw them out with the sour milk.

If these prophecies had been sent out with sufficient warning, we could have all worried and ruminated about them.

The Charismatic movement has been a plague on the LCMS for the past 35 years.  It is the voodoo fringe of Lutheranism.  Hundreds of “Renewal in Missouri ” (RIM) pastors haunt the pages of the Lutheran Annual.  They justify any wacko-ism as a gift from the Holy Spirit and turn the Bible into a fortuneteller’s manual.  RIM supports President Kieschnick.

Is there anything more useless than yesterday’s outdated prophecies?  In the Old Testament false prophets would have been stoned.

The writer of the following prophecies wants to carry on a dialogue with me.  However, he may need help from a different kind of professional.  There is little doubt that he will recover from this seeming error and claim he prayed that God would change His plans and God indeed answered his prayer.

Dear Pastor,

I was raised in the LCMS and left in 1973 after attending Concordia College for one year.

I was part of the charismatic movement in the LCMS and have since been involved in ministry as a Pentecostal clergyman.

I would like for you to file away this e-mail for future reference.  I understand that you are probably somewhat opposed to the current charismatic movement in the LCMS. I would like to share with you the following prophecies so that you can be a witness to their validity as they come to pass. When they come to pass it will not put God's stamp of approval on all things charismatic, but it will give you more information concerning what the Holy Spirit is doing inside and outside of the LCMS today.

I am still a consubstantiationist as are many Pentecostals. I write to you not in opposition to the LCMS but as a brother who would simply like to share the following with a non-charismatic LCMS pastor.

Please judge this on the basis of biblical guidelines for prophecy.

Your time spent in reading this should be less than ten minutes.

Thank you for your time, your comments, and your devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ.

“Dear Saints,

My name is Chuck Hinson and I am an associate minister at Tabernacle of David Church in Louisville , Ky. Over the last eight months I have been busy in getting out a word of warning concerning an impending earth quake in the mid Mississippi river valley.

The same earthquake has been prophesied about by other ministers.  God gave me three other prophecies concerning the death of Saddam Hussein, Colin Powell's removal from the Bush Cabinent, and the future launch of Rush Limbaugh into the ministry.  All of this is stated below. There are hundreds of people now aware of these prophecies, including some national prophetic ministries, and they are tracking them. I ask you to do the same.

 

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING AND WATCH THE NEWS!

(The following is a post from another forum in December).

In June of 2001 I was working in southeast Missouri for my pastor's land survey business, setting points for potential cell phone tower locations. While I was there I was strongly impressed that there was going to be an earthquake on the New Madrid fault in 2003.

Since that time I have sought the Lord and finally came to the conclusion that it indeed was the Holy Spirit talking to me about a massive quake happening in the "bootheel" of Missouri on May 7, 2003 . I have written a book about this prophecy and there have been copies sent to many states.

In the last two weeks I have come across two other ministers who have publicly prophesied that next year there will be a massive earthquake or shaking happening in the United States . One of the brothers talked with me on the telephone comparing notes. We both have the same location and approximate size. I am not writing this as a commercial for my book.  I was sending it out free anyway. I just thought that now that the book is out this would be a good place to get the word out concerning this coming calamity.

The Lord gave me three other prophecies having to do with Sadaam Hussein, Colin Powell, and Rush Limbaugh. These prophecies are explained in my book as confirmation for believing the May 7,2003 earthquake prophecy.

Here are the four prophecies as written in my book:

 

PROPHECY A: THE NEW MADRID EARTHQUAKE OF MAY 7, 2003

The Prophecy:

On Wednesday May 7,2003 there will be a massive earthquake on the New Madrid fault in the area of southeast Missouri . This is an area known as the "bootheel". The quake will register approximately 8.8 on the Richter scale.  The epicenter of the quake will be near Portageville , Missouri . The following areas of the United States will be especially directly affected by this quake:

The extreme southern tip of Illinois near Cairo and Mound City; The western counties of Kentucky beyond Land Between the Lakes; The northeast counties of Arkansas along the Mississippi River; The northwest corner of Tennessee along the Mississippi River; Southeast Missouri including the "bootheel" and areas close by.

The worse potential damage will be within a radius of 60-65 miles of the epicenter. Paducah Kentucky is on the edge of this radius. We here in Louisville may feel the quake but we will not be in an area of heavy damage. The wisdom of God is to prepare prayerfully for this day. If I lived in the areas close to the projected epicenter, I would at least pray over my belongings, turn off the gas to my home, and get away from the quake area before the day of the quake. This quake will make 9-11 seem small in comparison and will bring a change in the mentality of Americans. People will become more concerned about earthquakes than terrorism. False prophets will arise to confuse, but the true prophets of god will rebuke and refute the error of those who prophesy in a spirit of error.

 

PROPHECY B: THE DEATH OF SADDAM HUSSEIN: ONE OF THREE CONFIRMING PROPHECIES

The Prophecy:

Sadaam Hussein will be killed by the Iraqi people. His body will be hung in the street even as the Italians did to Mussolini during World War II.

 

PROPHECY C: THE COMING SHAKEUP IN PRESIDENT BUSH’S CABINET

The Prophecy:

Colin Powell will soon no longer be Secretary of State.  He will be replaced by Donald Rumsfeld.  Sam Nunn of Georgia will become the new Secretary of Defense. American forces will attack terrorists on the borders of Israel .

 

PROPHECY D: RUSH LIMBAUGH CALLED TO MINISTRY

The Prophecy:

Rush Limbaugh will soon quit his radio program due to a reoccurrence of his hearing problems. He will quit because he is unable to speak on air in a manner up to his own high standards. Later he will claim that he has been miraculously healed by God and go into the ministry. He will become one of America 's most sought after Christian speakers.

As I said, the last three prophecies beginning to come to pass will point to the validity of the earthquake prophecy. I am a Pentecostal minister raised in the Lutheran Church/Missouri Synod. Jesus is Who the Bible says He is and I am simply one of His many imperfect messengers. I sensed that the Lord wanted me to share this word of warning with you.”
