I saw the angel of America...and this is what he did! | Prophetic Word for America
The above is a short clip of a longer video where Emma Stark claims that "the Lord" spoke to her directly about America.
Stark: "PROPHETIC WORD FOR AMERICA: The hammer, in the hand of the Angel assigned over the nation of the United States of America, has been struck against you. This, America, is your salvation. You NEED to hear the full unpacking of this word: https://youtube.com/live/Ky-bY3C6TLQ Be sure to reference the book of Jeremiah as you hear this word: 'Is not my word like a fire, declares the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?'" (Jeremiah 23:29)."
Stark:
"I saw a hammer in the angel's hand.. The Lord spoke to me about you America.. having been a hammer nation.."
Note the context of Jeremiah 23:29. The word of the Lord is like a hammer.. the nation of America is not a hammer nation.
Is not my word like fire, declares the LORD, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces? (Jeremiah 23:29).
Ironically Jeremiah 23 continues with a scathing rebuke against false prophets!
Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, declares the Lord, who steal my words from one another. Behold, I am against the prophets, declares the Lord, who use their tongues and declare, ‘declares the Lord.’ Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, declares the Lord, and who tell them and lead my people astray by their lies and their recklessness, when I did not send them or charge them. So they do not profit this people at all, declares the Lord. (Jeremiah 23:30-33).
Stark inserts America into Jeremiah 51:20: "You 'America' are my hammer.."
You are my hammer and weapon of war: with you I break nations in pieces; with you I destroy kingdoms," (Jeremiah 51:20).
In context, the various prophecies in Jeremiah 50-51 concern Babylon's impending doom. This is the word that the LORD spoke through Jeremiah the prophet concerning Babylon and the land of the Chaldeans: (Jeremiah 50:1). God pronounces destruction against the empire that He used to bring judgment against Judah. Babylon was a "hammer" in the sense that it was a destructive tool used by God to bring judgement upon Israel. This word has no relevance to America being "a hammer nation.. or "the police of the world" in any righteous sense. Babylon was an oppressor. (Isaiah 14:4-17). These prophecies were fulfilled in 539 BC when Judah was restored to the land of Israel. (Ezra/Nehemiah).
Parallels between Isaiah 13 and Jeremiah 50 indicate that Jeremiah 50 has eschatological implications, specifically regarding "the Day of the Lord". Jeremiah 50 is an allusion to the final restoration of the Jews (Jeremiah 50:4; Zechariah 12:10), and the eschatological destruction of Babylon the Great ..come out other my people (Revelation 18:4).
Stark's "prophecy" does not correspond to the biblical narrative surrounding Jeremiah 23:29 or Jeremiah 51:20 in any sense whatsoever. (1 John 4:1). The scriptures place no eschatological emphasis on America and no indication that "America will be saved". America will undoubtedly be one of the nations that follows the beast (the Antichrist). (Revelation 13:3).
Emma Stark repeatedly refers to "The Angel of the Lord" and "The Angel of the Lord of the land mass of America.." This is abnormal terminology. The Bible is always specific, angels are never referred to as "The Angel of the Lord". There is an important distinction between "angels of the Lord" or "an angel of the Lord" and "the Angel of the Lord with the definite article. For instance, Michael is specifically referred to as one of the "chief princes" (rulers) in Daniel 10:13,21. Gabriel is referred to as "an angel of the Lord". (Luke1:11-38). The Angel of the Lord is the only "Angel" appearing continually throughout the Old Testament who refers to himself as the Lord and God in the first person. Other angels refer to the Lord God as a hallowed third person and always humble themselves and refuse to accept any kind of worship. (Genesis 16:7-12,21:17-18; Exodus 3:2; Judges 2:1-4,5:23,6:11-24,13:3:22; 2 Samuel 24:16; Zechariah 1:12,3:1;12:8).
GotQuestions:
"The appearances of the angel of the Lord cease after the incarnation of Christ. Angels are mentioned numerous times in the New Testament, but “the angel of the Lord” is never mentioned in the New Testament after the birth of Christ. It is possible that appearances of the angel of the Lord were manifestations of Jesus before His incarnation. Jesus declared Himself to be existent “before Abraham” (John 8:58), so it is logical that He would be active and manifest in the world. Whatever the case, whether the angel of the Lord was a pre-incarnate appearance of Christ (Christophany) or an appearance of God the Father (theophany), it is highly likely that the phrase “the angel of the Lord” usually identifies a physical appearance of God." 1
Stark: "Now the Lord is saying here to me, 'Quote to America scripture only'. So this is not what Emma says, this is what scripture says.. I am reading to you from Zephaniah 3: 'I will not put you to shame but I will remove from you the arrogant and the boasters..' ..there is a whole shift of how America will be saved.."
Stark's quotation from Zephaniah 3 is out of context. Zephaniah 3:9-10 is a prophecy about the nations (plural), Zephaniah 3:11-13 refers to Israel.
For then I will restore pure lips to the peoples, that all may call upon the name of the LORD and serve Him shoulder to shoulder. From beyond the rivers of Cush My worshipers, My scattered people, will bring Me an offering. On that day you will not be put to shame for any of the deeds by which you have transgressed against Me. For then I will remove from among you those who rejoice in their pride, and you will never again be haughty on My holy mountain. But I will leave within you a meek and humble people, and they will trust in the name of the LORD. The remnant of Israel will no longer do wrong or speak lies, nor will a deceitful tongue be found in their mouths. But they will feed and lie down, with no one to make them tremble.” (Zephaniah 3:9-13).Zephaniah mentions the phrase "the day of the Lord" more than any other book in the Old Testament. The Day of the Lord is characterized by a pouring out of divine wrath on God’s enemies at the end of the age. (Matthew 24:29; Revelation 6:17; Joel 2:1-2; Amos 5:18-20; Zechariah 1:14-15). The Lord's judgement on the whole earth will be followed by the His ultimate blessing on all nations, especially the faithful remnant.
Do not be deceived by Stark's false prophetic words. When tested, they are exposed as distortions of the scriptures and are either contrived or demonic.
Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar. (Proverbs 30:6; cf. Deuteronomy 4:2).
There will be fearful judgement for false prophets and their followers.
But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep. (2 Peter 2:1-3).
