Mike Adams' rejection on Prophetic truth of the Bible. Is prophecy the future a possible future? The bible teaches that if someone is wrong on salvation, who denies Jesus as being the one true God who came in the flesh, they should be avoided as a teacher. Mike Adams qualifies on both of these. On the topic of prophecy, this becomes the worst of the worst of his interpretations from Scripture. Being a new ‘bible teacher’ (starting less than a year ago), he spends a lot of time on prophecy, telling others where they are wrong. However, it's rare that one can stray further from the truth and arrive at a different conclusion than what the Bible explicitly teaches. Those who do not understand prophecy are often wrong because their theology is wrong. When this takes place, only those who are earnest in seeking the truth by the Word, will rightly divide it, to understand and correct their waywardness. If not, they continue to go further and further away from the truth. Understanding Bible prophecy is correctly done by a consistent literal methodology. Even the symbolism in Scripture is about what is to be literal in application. Adams carries within his bible interpretations a detestable attitude toward the people God (that is Israel, the Jews) which he says he will be destroyed because they are 666 the beast. He says the whole nation is going to be destroyed along with everyone else in the world. That Jesus is not returning to save, he’s sending a (7th) comet to burn them all up. He Posted a video discussion by a pastor Brad Cummings , whom he calls a bible scholar and publisher of the Founders bible (of whom Adam says he turns to). One can find agreement on various subjects Cummings spoke, but there were a few important topics that I would consider as blatantly in the category of being false. At one point Cummings commented that the nations won’t be judged in the hereafter; they will be judged in the here and now. Though, “we’re going to go through ugly, tough times, but God isn’t finished with us yet.” Actually, the worst is yet to come to the world as Jesus spoke specifically in Matt 24:21-22 “ There will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened.” This point is crucial when one compares Mike Adams' end times teaching to the bible. Adams asked Cummings, “ Are we locked into the end-times prophecy of the Bible?” Cummings responded, “Absolutely not! I don’t believe the Bible says we are locked into a fatalistic set of outcomes.” Unless I misunderstand his position, he sees prophecy as not the true future being told, it’s only a possible outcome, which is what Adams teaches in his sermons. This is Adams teaching that prophecy as a possibility,“that God exists across all time simultaneously,”in God’s mind, time is just another dimension . “So all time exists in the mind of God and thus he can see the future. He can warn us about the future, but remember there are multiple parallel futures because we have free will. And every time we make a decision, we create a new branch in all the possible future s. …In some futures, the earth is destroyed by atomic weapons. In other futures, the earth is saved. … We are the ones who determine which future branches get materialized. … That's because you are part of God. You are a creator yourself.” (Mike Adams Sermon 050 - Revelation Ch 1-3 - God's warnings to the SYNAGOGUES OF SATAN (false churches) Then the Scripture which is prophecy, is not God telling us about the future but only a future possibility, that it is actually left up to us. This is how Adams understands prophecy because his quantum mechanics theory shapes it. He applies his metaphysical view to other interpretations as well. So, Mt.24-25 and the numerous Old Testament Scriptures from thousands of years ago are not actually the future. Which means that what is written in the Bible, God’s Word, may or may not be the future, and cannot be relied upon. That to me is an attack on God’s Word as being the truth. The Scripture, of whom the Lord says, “I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done"(Isa. 46:9-10). The God of the Bible, gives prophecy as the irrefutable evidence of the authenticity of His Word being the truth. Isa. 42:9 “ new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them.” How can they believe what Jesus spoke to John the Revelator in Rev. 1:3 stating, these are, “the words of this prophecy.”Rev. 22:18 warns about taking away from the words of prophecy, in V. 19 “ if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” And last, and most importantly on this topic, in discussing Israel, Cummings stated, “the notion of the special Chosen People of God doesn’t come from the Scripture; it comes from the Babylonian Talmud.” He then went on to say: “ God doesn’t have a special chosen people.” Full stop! Is it from the Talmud? This can only be a purposeful misleading statement that again denies God’s Word. Moses wrote in Deuteronomy 7:6, in the Bible; God is speaking to Israel: “For you are apeople holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God haschosen you to be a peoplefor his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.” Repeated in Deut.14 again. If one Scripture is not enough, here are just a few more specific statements to uphold which was spoken by God.Isa. 41:8 "But you, Israel, are My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, The descendants of Abraham My friend.” Isa 44:1 “Yet hear now, O Jacob My servant,And Israel whom I have chosen.”Isa. 45:4 “For Jacob My servant's sake, And Israel My elect , I have even called you by your name.”Ps. 135:4 “For the LORD has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His special treasure .” Isa. 65:9 “I will bring forth descendants from Jacob, And from Judah an heir of My mountains; My elect shall inherit it.”As it is said in Isaiah 43:20:“… for I give water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my chosen people.”God has Israel as his chosen. He calls the “My people Israel, and David as their king, in Jerusalem ('1 Kings 8:16;2 Chron. 6:6) God is called The Holy One of Israel”(Isa 49:7). So no, its not from the Talmud. As the church we have God calling us as individuals, chosen, but we as a people are not given a land. We are living stones, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God” (1 Peter 2:4) Chosen for salvation. 1 Cor. 1:27-28 The apostle tells us, God has chosen the foolish things of the world, “the weak things of the world,” “the things which are despised God has chosen.” There are a number of movements driven to oppose the Jews and Israel. They speak fear and violent language to motivate their followers to hate. This is what dams is doing. No Christian should have this attitude toward the people of God’s covenant. Let us remember that the gospel is still to the Jew first. And it is rooted in Gen.12:1-3, which is still remains a covenant in effect. When speaking of the Jews, I do not see Adams differentiate the Pharisees, distinguishing the regular people from the corrupt ultra religious elites, who denied Jesus being their messiah and misled ‘some’ (not all) of the people. All he does is blame them as a people who killed the Messiah, blaming those of today. You would think he would double-check when teaching God's Word, but he doesn’t. “John was told in Revelation, don't you dare change a word of this? If you do, you're going to be punished. Didn't it say like, if you change a word, like we'll cut off your hands or something like that ? Don't even change a single word. Why? Because every word matters.” (89 - Psalm 75 - God DISSOLVES the earth) No, John did not say your hands are to be removed, but, he is saying if the words, the meanings are changed, there is a severe punishment. Adams seems to overlook himself, for he is saying the word may not happen the way it is written. Does he not know a stricter judgment is on teachers? Especially a prophecy teacher who can’t teach accurately what is written, who influences many? Adams says the whole nation of Israel is going to be destroyed by what we as christians wrongly interpret as the second coming of Jesus, which he explains in his twisting of prophecy as the last comet that brings total destruction to everyone in the world. The Bible does not say this at all. Adams, claiming to be a Bible teacher, corrects others on prophecy. He has a very different ending that not only brings you farther away from the truth, but also into an alternative reality. God has nothing to do with this because he wrote truth, and prophecy, our lives are not a simulation as Adams describes it. God has a very different plan from Satan’s plan, which wants to destroy Israel. Actually, what Adams is promoting as a solution agrees with Satan's desire. Adam’s disdain for Israel has led him to make implicit statements on both Israel and the Jews being evil (his being friendly with Dustin Nemos and others certainly doesn’t help; it has influenced him for the worse). And for someone who tells us the future is [t]his way he also says,“And we may be entering the tribulation, although I don't want to say I know for certain, but that's part of the discussion here in the book of Revelation. …The tribulation may be happening now. We may be entering it or it may be right around the corner , or perhaps we are experiencing echoes of the tribulation yet to come.” (Mike Adams Sermon 050 - Revelation Ch 1-3 - God's warnings to the SYNAGOGUES OF SATAN (false churches) that abandon His truth) I fully agree HE can’t know, but the bible tells us that WE can know, by certain events that do happen. But if you are not believing the word is absolute truth, you justify saying it is this it is that. So God who is all knowing, spoke of the future, but is not really telling us then future. Adams teaches, “Now, I do believe that prophecy only shows us one possible future , actually, perhaps the most probable future...”(057 - Ezekiel Ch 38-39). “Is it possible that Ezekiel was a prophet and John of Patmos was given this as a prophecy? Is it possible that these are warnings that could be averted?” (066 - Ezekiel Ch 39 - God DESTROYS ISRAEL after thousands of years of Israeli wickedness, evil and deception) “The book of Revelation. That's a premonition book, isn't it? That's a book of premonition about what's coming.” (Mike Adams Sermon #096 - How to make your PRAYERS incredibly powerful: Morphic resonance, premonition, time forks and God) Premonition is associated with clairvoyance, or a clairaudient experience of some event in the future. Often described as a psychic intuition that something is about to happen, usually something negative. Not surprising that he speaks of a great psychic awakening coming to everyone's consciousness. Adams even reinterprets the rapture (which he denies) as being the Lord Himself “descends from heaven with a shout ,” this would most likely be a cosmic biblical shout – a great 65 psychic awakeningtouching people’s consciousness at the same time.” He believes the Bible is filled with all kinds of ‘psychic stuff.’ “premonition, so-called psychic phenomenawhich are supernatural, but also completely natural, saying “they're consistent with the laws of the universe that God created.” He even endorses Remote viewing as from God. God absolutely condemns what is psychic, he addresses the mediums or spiritists, in Deut.18:10. In an interview with Scott Bell, a new ager, he mentions the group Spiritual Awakenings International, SAI. (Interview-Robert Scott Bell and Mike Adams SHAKE PANDORA'S BOX and dare to discuss spirituality, religious, consciousness, reincarnation, decentralization, AI and more) The SAI website is filled with new age, psychic practices. Which Adams has no problem with, as he views it all being similar or being the same, just using different language. His view is that, “the Bible says basically, God's going to destroy the planet and every living being on the planet. And if you want to be with God for eternity, don't be a wicked evil person. That's pretty much the Bible in a nutshell right there.”(Sermon 074 - Joel, Ezekiel, Peter, Matthew and John) “that God destroys humanity. So that's coming also. And God wills it. Nothing you or I can do about it. We can't stop God's comets.” (102 - God issued his END TIMES warning.) Yet as we see Adams teaches (over and over), the opposite, that we can change the future? We have mind power, because our consciousness is connected to God. By his own contradictions he proves this is not true. Adams teaches you can draw the outcome “that you're asking for and by putting pen to paper and actually drawing it, you are in essence bending the laws of the universe to create that reality.” (096 - How to make your PRAYERS incredibly powerful). A reality that he says does not exist. We can change the future,“since God gave you the gift of consciousness, (he quite literally gave you the gift of creating an infinite number of multiverses by simply exercising your free will. Every time you make a choice, you literally create a new branch of the universe. And then that branch becomes the branch that you experience and observe.”(095 God's gift of CONSCIOUSNESS) His is a typical new age concept of you being in control (being godlike). And by the way, he says you can time travel (which of course is mentioned in the bible too, right?), to change the future. “you exist also outside of time, not only outside of space and physical matter, you exist outside of time. Your consciousness already exists through all time. …and you can actually travel through those branches through your consciousness.”(096 - How to make your PRAYERS incredibly powerful: Morphic resonance, premonition, time forks and God) “all time exists in the mind of God and thus he can see the future. He can warn us about the future, but remember there are multiple parallel futures because we have free will. And every time we make a decision, we create a new branch in all the possible futures. Now the futures that God can see, they all have common trends.In some futures, the earth is destroyed by atomic weapons. In other futures, the earth is saved” (Mike Adams Sermon 050 - Revelation Ch 1-3 - God's warnings to the SYNAGOGUES OF SATAN (false churches) None of this should surprise us from Adams, who speaks of a Higher consciousness, a Christ and cosmic consciousness as the answer. Teaching cosmic law, enlightenment, Karma, astral travel, psychic powers, etc. none of this is Biblical Christianity, but a world Christianity, that is part of the apostasy. Beware! God is not like some progressive psychic - when Adams teaches on the book of Revelation, it becomes meaningless by his contradictory view on prophecy. Prophecy is rendered meaningless. He is actually challenging the Scripture, of whom the Lord says, “I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done"(Isa. 46:9-10). The God of the Bible, gives prophecy as the irrefutable evidence of the authenticity of His Word being the truth. What prophecy can anyone point to that has failed? Isa. 42:9 “ new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them.” How does that work if we can change the future? When Scripture from God prophesied about Jesus, he told us of a woman in the city he would be born in. He spoke how he would die and what day he would raise again from the dead, 300 prophecies were all fulfilled in one day. But Adams the God who created all things, who knows all things does not see the future? What kind of God is this? He is a God like himself, that is why he can’t understand the God Scripture proclaims. “I believe in a big God, not a small God, not a tiny God. I believe in a big picture creator” ( 085 John ch14- Is CHRIST the only pathway to Heaven?)And he scolds the church, “mainstream Christians have a very tiny view of God. They believe in a really small God, almost like a false idol version of God, like a really limited God that doesn't have much power, and all he could do was send one son to one region of one planet, and then he ran out of power or something.” (097 - Mark Ch 9 - Jesus teaches MULTI-DENOMINATIONAL acceptance). Adams speaks with pride as if he knows God and how God operates; but he really doesn’t have a clue. “almost no Christian pastor will dare tell you is that humankind is too evil to be62savedby God.”… “no humans survive. And I have yet to find any Christian leader who's willing to to read the book of Revelation honestly. That's why they don't teach it, because if they're honest, it's the end of human civilization and it's God's final judgment. So that's my message on this Easter Sunday is that God judges humanity and he exterminates humanity because humanity doesn't deserve God.” (2025 Easter Sunday special message from the Health Ranger: God DESTROYS all human life on Earth. Of course, pastors don’t agree with ‘his false conclusions.’ That is why he says they can’t read it honestly. But it is he who is not being honest with his prophetic postulations. How does he know this is how it ends if he says we can change our future? The fact is, evil is dealt with, and there will be many saved in the end, least of all his most unfavorite people, the Jews and Israel. This in no way is how prophecy is to be understood or treated. No Christian who believes in God's omniscience, his foreknowledge of all things, would say such diminishing and distasteful things about God and his Word.
