Modern Prophets

From a Christian perspective, the Holy Bible is a closed book. It cannot, and should not, be interpreted with a view to up-to-date understanding. Now, I don’t agree with that thought, and neither do others.

But, who exactly are our modern prophets? Are they Luddites who refuse to use modern technology, or are they TV evangelicals who spread “God’s Word” far and wide? What’s a person to think?

The reason I’m highlighting this issue is that some might suggest that people like David Icke would qualify as a modern prophet. And like the prophets of old, no one in authority wants to hear what he has to say, but the people do.

Even Robert F. Kennedy Jr would be considered a modern day prophet, mainly because he suggests conspiracy theories about government involvement in the health and welfare of Americans. But are we really listening?

The ages of these two individuals are 71 and 69 respectively. Does wisdom come with age? Maybe.
