We are at war! When our Lord and King prepares for battle, he first releases a loyal band of servants (prophets) who boldly declare his intentions. Objective observers agree that this world is headed in a very bad direction. The signs for an impending disaster are everywhere. Profiteers are capitalizing on this growing sense of danger, by manufacturing dire end-of-the-world predictions. These false prophecies swirl about as people struggle to make sense of the increasing insanity and violence. Presently, God is selecting and preparing his anointed prophets for a global assault. They will overturn the money-changers’ tables in the compromising and lukewarm church as they announce the coming destruction of the wicked. Even now, Satan is sending a great multitude of his minions to every institution where he has a foothold, in order to undermine the truth and fill the minds of the Biblically uninformed with lies, fear and hatred. It will take a hero’s courage to read The Prophets of God with an open mind and an open Bible. Taking a Pre-Wrath Rapture position, the arguments contained inside have the power to rock the Christian establishment to its core. If the message in this book becomes widely known, it will thoroughly upset those profiting from the status quo. But that is what the Spirit must do! What comes out of the prophet’s mouth is a two-edged sword that judges each one hearing the message. Inside The Prophets of God, readers will have a valuable resource as they go forward to the end of this age and the return of Christ. Each page promotes wisdom that comes from God while exposing the deceit that originates in the hell of his defeated foe. Chapters, such as “The King’s Enemy,” “Counterfeits,” “The Sword,” “Captivity,” “The Surprise Judgment,” and “Restoration,” will excite and challenge every Bible student, regardless of their knowledge level. Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come. Absolutely nothing can stop it! What is contained in The Prophets of God will demonstrate again how “the pen is mightier than the sword.” Why now? Why this book? It is because it is the season for war. The time for the great battle prophesied at Jesus’ return will soon arrive. Before then, sides will be chosen; men and women will persuade their children and their friends as to whom they should believe. On the day of the Lord’s salvation, those with a future and a hope will all have one thing in common: They recognized, heard and followed The Prophets of God.

Translated by Daniel P. Bailey The Servant Song of Isaiah 53 has been highly significant in both Jewish and Christian thought. Rarely, however, has it been explored from the broad range of perspectives represented in this long-awaited volume. In "The Suffering Servant ten talented biblical interpreters trace the influence of the Servant Song text through the centuries, unpacking the theological meanings of this rich passage of scripture and its uses in various religious contexts. Chapters examine in depth Isaiah 52:13-53:12 in the Hebrew original and in later writings, including pre-Christian Jewish literature, the New Testament, the Isaiah Targum, the early church fathers, and a sixteenth-century rabbinic document informed by Jewish-Christian dialogue.

As I have grown in the Lord, I have discovered that there are many prophets. Some anointed and well-trained, some... not so much. Some with integrity and Godly character, others... not so much! It grieves me to know that many who call themselves prophets are nothing more than what the Bible calls false teachers and false prophets. They are the wolves in sheep's clothing. They exploit and devour God's people for selfish gain. They speak lies and aid in promoting perpetual sin for filthy lucre. For this reason, it is vitally important to know how to discern a righteous prophet from an unrighteous one. I have made every effort to aid God's people to recognize the character and nature of a true and Godly prophet versus ungodly ones. It is a serious issue impacting the body of Christ and the world as a whole, yet I wondered why there weren't more teachings on false prophets at the countless conferences I had attended. So, one day, I just asked: "Lord, how do I know a false prophet from a true prophet?" The answer He provided me is what's in this book: revealed to me by the Holy Spirit who leads us into all truth. It is He who tells us what the Father is saying and reveals to us things to come. He revealed to me in the Word what false teachers and false prophets look like so I could spiritually discern them. That is the purpose for this book: that YOU may be equipped to discern the true from the false. The word says the tree is known by the fruit it bears. Whether you are looking to enjoy or produce the fruit of the prophetic yourself, you must examine it carefully. Is the fruit-bearing tree connected to the True Vine? Is it life-giving? If you're unsure, then you've picked up the right book! Continue reading on as we explore and strengthen God's servant: the prophet.
