Just some observations
Malawi Earthquake:
I will give him credit for specifically focusing on the Lake Malawi region. Africa is a big place, and he pinpointed Malawi in particular. Now on one hand, the last big earthquake to hit that region was in 1989, so its not like earthquakes strike there everyday; on the other hand, according to one article, Malawi is within the most seismically active belt of the East African Rift System, so if a big earthquake were to strike somewhere in Africa, it would be Malawi. So Im kinda on the fence about this one; Owuor predicted two earthuakes (one in Malawi and one in Texas), and that these earthquakes would take place because of what was written in Matthew 24 and Luke 21. I dont recall any kind of massive earthquake in Texas over the past few years.
Hurricane Katrina:
I dont quite get the fulfillment in this video because he doesnt prophecy a hurricane for New Orleans or any other region in the Gulf of Mexico; he specifically claimed that the storm would hit the Atlantic. If he had been vague concerning the region in North America that the storm would hit, then I might have viewed this as a pretty close fulfillment. But that prophecy was not about New Orleans.
Dominican Republic:
This is probably one of his best prophecies. Although it hit Haiti, not DR, it was a pretty historic earthquake in that region, and nobody was expecting it.
Chile:
This is another one that turned out to be the case.
Now, I would be interested in finding out how many countries Owuor visits and how many regions he predicts coming judgment. If he has only proclaimed earthquakes and judgment in select regions like Chile, DR, or Malawi, then that would be an indicator that he is receiving specific revelation. However, if this guy travels all over the world and regularly proclaims earthquakes, floods, and judgment wherever he preaches, then his prophecies become far less impressive.
I noticed in one video that a service program listed coming earthquakes in Pakistan, Germany, Uruguay, as well as floods in India. Guess well have to keep an eye on those places. And I do like the fact that he's not going around preaching prosperity gospel, and that he's focused on repentence and judgment. That sounds like stuff a prophet would preach.
In Christ,
Acts6:5
Nice post dude. I liked your objective approach in analyzing the prophecies. Yeah, I recently found out about Dr Owuor and was very impressed by his ministry myself.
Now, one thing that kind of disturbed me though, or should I say, gives me a pause/doubt of some sort. Not of whether he's a false prophet. He has all the symptoms of a 'real' prophet of the Lord. But doubts if all that he says is of God.
Prophets are human and can err, just like any other ministry gift. But the prophets that we should 'fear' according to Moses are those who are at the level that they know when God is speaking and the wisdom to understand what God means.
Many prophets today are immature and presumptous. Thus why they aren't to be feared. When Moses explained which prophets, 'real' prophets are to be feared and which ones speak presumptously, that's what he said would be the sign....if what they say comes to pass.
Many misinterpret that and call them 'false' prophets, but that's not what a false prophet is. False prophets are those who are 'not' prophets at all. They decieve. But a 'real' prophet can speak presumptously. So back to my point...
It seems that his prophecies are coming to pass, signaling that Dr Owuor is a 'real' prophet. But what disturbed me was his making mention of the 'pre'Tribulation rapture.
I understand that many preachers believe in this doctrine, however, it is not what the Scriptures reveal. And I understand that many 'real' men of God believe in it, but to say "God showed me the rapture and what happens 'after' it..." That gave me a Ehh???
I mean, Dr Owuor says in one of his messages that "If the prophecy is not found/confirmed in the Bible, its not of God..." Right?
Well, the Bible tells us that the Church is gathered together unto Him at the 2nd coming of the Lord. Yahsuah clearly explains the tribulation to His disciples as part of the signs that the 2nd coming is near. In Luke 21, He goes as far as to say "...when they see these 'things' (the signs of the tribulation', to hold your heads high for your redemption is NIGH..." Not already taken place, but nigh.
It clearly shows that "...AFTER the tribulation of those days, the Son of God will appear and send his angels to 'gather his elect' from all the corners of the earth..."
That's the event that the Lord told His disciples to be ready for.
In 1 Thes 5 Paul tells the church that "...only those in darkness will that day take like a thief....to those in the light that day will NOT take you like a thief..."
In 2 Thes Paul adds that "let no man deceive you saying that that day has already come...for it can not come UNTIL the great apostasy and the man of evil being revealed..."
1 Thes 4:16 Paul tells us that "we, who are alive will NOT PRECEDE THOSE WHO HAVE DIED IN CHRIST..."
That AFTER the dead in Christ rise, THEN we who are alive are raptured/gathered together with them to meet the Lord in the air.
In 1 Cor 15:52, Paul reiterates the same event and adds that it will happen at the "last" trumpet. That at the "last" trumpet that MYSTERY OF GOD will be revealed.
Well, in Rev 10 John tells us that that "last" trumpet is the 7th trumpet of Revelation and that at 'that' 7th trumpet the MYSTERY OF GOD WILL BE REVEALED.
Being that Paul revealed that the dead in Christ will rise FIRST, before those Christians who are still alive get raptured. And that we will NOT PRECEDE them who have died in Christ...then the rapture can NOT take place until the first resurrection has taken place. Until the dead in Christ are raptured FIRST.
Well, John tells us when the FIRST RESURRECTION takes place. In Rev 20:4 John revealed that the "dead in Christ rise AFTER the great tribulation, and that many have been beheaded for NOT TAKING THE MARK OF THE BEAST..."
John said that they "rose from the dead and reigned with Christ 1,000 years...THIS IS THE FIRST RESURRECTION..."
So, if we can not precede those who are dead in Christ, then the rapture doesn't take place until 'after' the great tribulation and after the man of evil is revealed (like Paul told us).
And 'after' the persecution of the CHurch (like Yahshuah told us).
Yahsuah warned the disciples to be READY for the 2nd coming of the Lord. "that" was the day they were to 'not' let catch them like a thief. Paul says that to those who are "in the light" it will NOT take them like a thief. So the rapture will not be like a thief in the night to those in the "light". That's the ready Christians.
Well, what has me confused is...why is it that a prophet of God, as Dr Owuor seems to be, doesn't know this. And what happened when he preached that the Lord showed him the 'rapture' of the church and what happens after it?
Did he misinterpret the vision? Or was that a presumptous word?
