General Conference, April 2001; “I am so grateful that we live in an era of comparative peace. There are no great wars raging across the world. There is trouble here and there but not a great worldwide conflict. We are able to carry the gospel to so many nations of the earth and bless the lives of the people wherever it goes.” – Gordon B. Hinckley
Jeremiah 23:17, 21; “They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. 21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.”
While the prophecy of Jeremiah is a specific past prophecy for that time, we can still apply this to our lives today as an example of what to do with false prophets and their false prophecies.
We’re wondering where Mr. Hinckley’s prophetic skill was at the time he told his congregation ‘hush, hush, there’s no trouble to worry about’. It was five months before the Twin Towers came down and two other planes filled with people were used as missiles for mega-death scenarios.
If Hinckley was truly a prophet wouldn’t he have forewarned us about the impending dangers that was about to take place?
Also, a quick search online shows just how wrong Hinckley was in April 2001.
PIOOM, the Dutch research foundation that monitors wars, conflicts and human rights violations gave the following report about the conditions of the world from 1995 to mid 2000:
In 1999 there were more than 14m refugees around the world
From 1995-2000 there were 282 armed conflicts around the world
300,000 children take part in the fighting in 31 conflicts
50 countries actively recruit kids into their armed forces
2 million children lost their lives
6 million children disabled or maimed
1 million children orphaned
10 million young people infected with AIDS
You don’t even need prophetic skills to know these things so what bubble was he living in?
How did he not know there were 282 armed conflicts going on?
