EMMA STARK'S FALSE PROPHECY OVER AMERICA

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).

OH THE IRONY! FALSE PROPHET CINDY JACOBS CALLS OUT EMMA STARK'S FALSE PROPHECIES

Cindy Jacobs Denounces False Trump Prophecy | Bishop Bill Hamon Agrees

The above video was posted by false prophet Jennifer LeClaire regarding Emma Stark's "prophecies" regarding Donald Trump and America during November. Anyone with any sense should reject Stark as a prophet since none of her false prophecies align with the scriptures. (1 John 4:1). It should not escape anyone's attention that the pot is calling the kettle black since the whole prophetic movement (aka New Apostolic Reformation) is awash with false prophets! 

LeClaire: "A series of troubling prophetic words about President Trump and judgment on America, as well as Leviathan and the fall of democracy have been issued. Cindy Jacobs and the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders have denounced and condemned these words."

Below is an excerpt from the ACPE statement which has been signed by Mike and Cindy Jacobs, 
Bill Hamon, Joseph Garlington, Tom and Jane Hamon, Sharon Stone-Black and Greg Black, Chuck Pierce, Dutch Sheets, Barbara Yoder, James Goll, Patricia King, Todd White, Arleen Westerhof, Katherine Ruonala, Matt and Kim Lockett, Michele Jacobs, Tommy and Miriam Evans, Larry Sparks, Matt Sorger, Jon and Jolene Hamill, Anthony and Melissa Medina, Barbie Breathitt, Rebecca Greenwood, Eleanor and Robert Roehl, Faytene Grasseschi, Herman Martir, Mark Gonzales, Mary Glazier, Patricia Bootsma - all of whom should be marked and avoided. (Romans 16:17-18).

The full statement can be accessed on the following link: 

Statement from ACPE - Nov 16 2024 — Generals International

"1. The ‘God Punched Trump’ Prophecy
On November 4th, 2024—Election Day Eve in the U.S.—a prophetic word regarding Trump’s presidency was issued by this minister. Additionally, on November 5th, 2024 (Election Day), this same minister released a separate word connecting a Trump presidency with God's judgment on the people of God in America.
Excerpt from the November 4, 2024 posted video:
“God punched Donald Trump in the face and his teeth came out and there was a lot of blood. And that was quite symbolic of what he represented. The word of the Lord is this, that there would be a catastrophic time of him (Trump) leading and then he would be removed by God because he had become the champion of himself and then Trump fell over. His partnership with unredeemed sex, unredeemed power, and unredeemed money had opened the door for all sorts of evil to be released through him.”
2. The Trump Presidency Being God’s Judgment Prophecy
Excerpt from the November 5, 2024 posted video:
During the broadcast, it was also strongly inferred that prayer would not change the outcome of these words. They were settled.
'We, (referring to the minister and their team) believe that Trump is going to be a judgment on the people of God.'
3. The Leviathan Released Because of Trump Prophecy
Other words from within this minister’s group have been issued during this time saying a seven-headed Leviathan had been released across the world and brought chaos because of Trump. We also judge this to be a false prophecy that is based out of a political bias and hatred of President Trump stemming from a political world view that differs from his conservative stances.
Other 'prophetic' revelations and declarations presented in the same media broadcast were also very concerning to us, but we will not specifically address them at this time.."

An update has been released by Jennifer LeClaire answering questions and outlining past and ongoing concerns about Stark's "ministry". LeCaire states that the ACPE does not consider Stark to be a "false prophet", although they claim that she has spoken presumptuously. This is a contradiction in terms. The ACPE's flawed understanding of prophecy is extremely dangerous and gives rise to precisely these kinds of issues. Biblically anyone who makes a false prophecy is a false prophet. Deuteronomy 18:22; Jeremiah 28:9; Ezekiel 13:2-4; Zechariah 13:2-4; 1 John 4:1; 1 Corinthians 14:29. Cindy Jacobs: Why We Didn't Call Emma Stark's Name & Other Answers

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. (2 Peter 2:1).

EMMA STARK CLAIMS THAT SHE WILL SPEAK THE PLAGUES OF REVELATION 11 INTO EXISTENCE!

Living By God’s Voice | What The Prophets Say | Episode 10 (youtube.com)

The utter bankruptcy of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is exposed once again in the above video where Emma Stark and Sam Robertson pose as "prophets". Sam Robertson claims that he was flown to heaven and that the entire global map was tattooed on his body - there is no sign of it here however! Emma Stark announced that she would speak the plagues of Revelation 11 into existence in 2022. The original video was recently re-posted on YouTube because Global Prophetic Alliance claims it is one of their most popular episodes despite its non-fulfillment. The false claims of NAR prophets are worthless and extremely damaging to the church. (Matthew 7:15).

This post focuses on Revelation 11 and Emma Starks's alleged "Revelation 11 Church". 

Revelation 11 in context

The two witnesses will minister for 1260 days and their ministry will end before the seventh trumpet is sounded. The general consensus is that the timeframe of the two witnesses occurs during the second half of Daniels's 70th week in the period known as "the Great Tribulation" approximately three and a half years prior to Jesus' return at Armageddon. (Matthew 24:21). This period follows the abomination of desolation event at the midpoint of the 70th week when the Antichrist takes his seat in the Jerusalem temple, proclaims himself to be God and sets himself up as the world ruler. (2 Thessalonians 2:4; Daniel 11:36). Many unbelievers (earth dwellers) will exclude themselves from salvation by taking the mark of the beast during this time. Unprecedented persecution against believers will occur during the great tribulation with many paying the ultimate price of their lives. It was granted to him (the Antichrist) to make war with the saints and to overcome them” (Revelation 13:7a). There is no evidence to suggest that anyone in the church will have the capacity to speak plagues into existence, in fact the reverse is indicated. The church will be decimated and virtually extinguished from the earth during this period. (Matthew 24:9). The remnant who remain at the end of the great tribulation will be raptured in between the 6th and 7th seal. (Matthew 24:31). In contrast the two witnesses will be imbued with special power to execute various judgements upon the Antichrist kingdom. 

Note that this prophecy refers specifically to the two witnesses, it does not refer to anyone else. In particular, it does not refer to Emma Stark, Bill Hamon, Chuck Pearce or any other NAR "prophet"! The two witnesses are described as.. the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. (Revelation 11:4). This figure is loosely based on Zechariah 4:3,11-14. These are two literal individuals who are also described as prophets. ( Revelation 11:10). The two witnesses do not represent the church, rather they are direct agents of God Himself. Christians are not given authority to call down judgements on the world, rather they are called to "overcome the world" by following Jesus' example. Jesus' victory on the cross extends beyond earthly limitations. (John 18:36; 1 Corinthians 15:55).

And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. (Revelation 12:11 cf. 1 John 5:4-5,16:33).

The ministry of the two witnesses is based in Jerusalem but their influence is far-reaching culminating in a great earthquake in which a tenth of the city will fall. (Revelation 11:5,13). There are various candidates for the two witnesses. The most convincing in my view are Moses and Elijah (Malachi 4:5) or possibly Moses and Enoch.  

Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the number of worshipers there. But exclude the courtyard outside the temple. Do not measure it, because it has been given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for 42 months. And I will empower my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”

These witnesses are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. If anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouths and devours their enemies. In this way, anyone who wants to harm them must be killed. These witnesses have power to shut the sky so that no rain will fall during the days of their prophecy, and power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish. 

When the two witnesses have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will wage war with them, and will overpower and kill them. Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city—figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where their Lord was also crucified. For three and a half days all peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will view their bodies and will not permit them to be laid in a tomb. And those who dwell on the earth will gloat over them, and will celebrate and send one another gifts, because these two prophets had tormented them.
But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered the two witnesses, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell upon those who saw them. And the witnesses heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watched them.
And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand were killed in the quake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
The second woe has passed. Behold, the third woe is coming shortly. (Revelation 11:1-14).

But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8).

EMMA STARK: SPURIOUS DISTINCTION BETWEEN "FALSE PROPHETS" AND "UNFAITHFUL PROPHETS"

Emma Stark Shares What May Be Coming in 2024... (youtube.com)

In this video self-proclaimed New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) "prophets" Emma Stark (Global Prophetic Alliance) and Alan "bishop" Didio (Encounter Today cult) defend their counterfeit version of the prophetic.  

Didio: "We have a baby in the bathwater mentality. People are very scared of false prophets, they are very scared of false prophecy.. How do we get past the mistakes of the past?" 

Although I am not a cessationist, I am not surprised that many believers have turned away from charismata given the monstrous deception of those who claim to be "Apostles" and "prophets" today. Emma Stark advocates restoration and repentance for the false prophets who have made what she refers to as "mistakes". This is a gross trivialization of the destructive nature of false prophecy. Repentance is available to everyone of course, even presumptuous NAR false prophets. However, I have not noticed any of them either repenting or stepping down from their alleged ministries. It is critical to understand what a terrible sin false prophecy is. The only New Testament book that does not warn about false prophets is Philemon. Zechariah declares that false prophets have an "unclean spirit" (Zechariah 13:2). Ezekiel declares that false prophets practice "divination". (Ezekiel 13:23). Jeremiah declares that false prophets prophesy "lies" in God's name. (Jeremiah 14:14,23:25, 27:10,14-16,29:21,31 cf. Isaiah 30:10; Ezekiel 13:6,16 etc.) In the New Testament, false prophets are referred to as "blots and blemishes reveling in their deception" and  "ravenous wolves" (2 Peter 2:13; Matthew 7:15). The very heart of false prophecy is the Antichrist spirit. (John 4:6; cf. Matthew 24:24). There is no evidence in either the Old or New Testament that prophets make "mistakes" or are "false prophets by accident"; rather false prophets are unregenerate deceivers who are disqualified and condemned without exception. (Romans 16:17). The Greek word for false prophets is ψευδοπροφῆται, transliteration pseudoprophétés, English pseudo prophets.1 

Strongs: "pseudēs: lying, false - Original Word: ψευδής - Transliteration: pseudēs Phonetic Spelling: (psyoo-dace') - Part of Speech: Adjective - Short Definition: lying, false - Meaning: lying, false. Strong's Concordance false, lying - From pseudomai; untrue, i.e. Erroneous, deceitful, wicked -- false, liar."2  

The scriptures make a clear distinction between the "dreams" and "imaginations" of false prophets and God's authentic word.

I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in my name, saying, ‘I have dreamed, I have dreamed!’ How long shall there be lies in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies, and who prophesy the deceit of their own heart, who think to make my people forget my name by their dreams that they tell one another, even as their fathers forgot my name for Baal? Let the prophet who has a dream tell the dream, but let him who has my word speak my word faithfully. What has straw in common with wheat? declares the LORD. Is not my word like fire, declares the LORD, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces? 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 23:25-32 cf. Jeremiah 16:12).  

Poole: "..but if any man hath dreamed an ordinary dream, let him tell it as a dream; let him not entitle God to it. And he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully; and let him to whom I have revealed my will publish and declare that in all truth and faithfulness, not adding his own fancies or dreams to it, 2 Corinthians 2:17 1 Peter 2:2, not corrupting my word."3 

Zechariah describes the false prophets who survive "the day of the Lord" who barely escape with their lives.

And on that day, declares the LORD of hosts, I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, so that they shall be remembered no more. And also I will remove from the land the prophets and the spirit of uncleanness. And if anyone again prophesies, his father and mother who bore him will say to him, ‘You shall not live, for you speak lies in the name of the LORD.’ And his father and mother who bore him shall pierce him through when he prophesies. “On that day every prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies. He will not put on a hairy cloak in order to deceive, but he will say, ‘I am no prophet, I am a worker of the soil, for a man sold me in my youth. (Zechariah 13:2-5 cf. Zechariah 12:3-4,6,8-9,11).

Blackest darkness is reserved for false prophets 

Woe to them! For they walked in the way of Cain and abandoned themselves for the sake of gain to Balaam’s error and perished in Korah’s rebellion. These are hidden reefs at your love feasts, as they feast with you without fear, shepherds feeding themselves; waterless clouds, swept along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, uprooted; wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever. (Jude 1:11-13 cf. 2 Peter 2:17).

Emma Stark has decided to make a spurious distinction between "false prophets" and "unfaithful prophets". Emma Stark: "False prophets are in bed with Jezebel out to destroy the church.. I don't think most of the prophets that you and I work with have that mind, that ugly ugly nonsense, you know heretical mindset of the destruction of the church, so let's push that to one side.."  The scriptures never make a distinction between "false prophets" and "unfaithful prophets"! Satan's devices are subtle and deceptive!

For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds. (2 Corinthians 11:13-14).

False prophets who attempt to give themselves a pass for their alleged "mistakes" are in grave error and they should not continue as "prophets". Within the NAR almost everyone wants to be a "prophet" and they are even willing to pay for the title! Interestingly those genuinely called to the office in the Old Testament were often reluctant prophets e.g. Jeremiah 1:6; Amos 7:14; Exodus 4:10; Judges 6:17; Jonah 1:1-3. Emma Stark speaks in terms of "prophets" being 20, 40, 60, and 80-watt lightbulbs. In other words, within the deceptive NAR world, prophets will never prophesy anything that is error-free. Emma Stark makes a puny attempt to substantiate this by alluding to 1 Corinthians 13:9: "we only see in part". If Emma Stark's eisegesis is correct, then the Old Testament prophets and Jesus' apostles made "mistakes" but we know that the scriptures are inerrant. (2 Peter 1:21; 2 Timothy 3:16).

In context.. this passage does not give anyone carte blanche to claim that prophecy is inaccurate.  

As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial (mer'-os) will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part (mer'-os); then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. (1 Corinthians 13:8-12).

The definition of the Greek word mer'-os = a part, share, portion.4 A prophetic word cannot be "imperfect" or "inaccurate" since the very source of prophecy is God Himself whose words are flawless. (Proverbs 30:5; Psalm 12:6,18:30).

It is not for "20-watt lightbulb prophets", or anyone else for that matter, to "have a go" or "experiment" with prophecy. Much less the scriptures do not give anyone the go-ahead to use their "creativity" and "practice" the gift of prophecy - God forbid! Jeremiah was an inexperienced youth when the Lord called Him. If the Lord had put His words in the mouths of NAR "prophets" they would by definition be accurate!

Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.” But the LORD said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’; for to all to whom I send you, you shall go,

and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, declares the LORD.” Then the LORD put out his hand and touched my mouth. And the LORD said to me, “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth. See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.” (Jeremiah 1:6-10 cf. Isaiah 6:6-8).  

The New Testament is unequivocal, believers should mark and avoid false prophets.  

But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.’ And if you say in your heart, ‘How may we know the word that the LORD has not spoken?’— when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him. (Deuteronomy 18:20-22).

I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. (Romans 16:17).

Confusing prayer with prophecy? 

The fact that false prophets do not know the difference between prayer and prophecy is further evidence that they are ignorant and unqualified. Emma Stark: "..be diligent enough in care of peoples lives to not promise what God is not saying... These are lives.. How dare we ravage the sheep with thoughtless words because we didn't hold ourselves to a biblical standard.. I am going to stand before the judgement seat of God one day and He is going to say 'I never said that'.." These "fine words" give Emma Stark the appearance of credibility. The passage she refers to makes it clear these charlatans will receive much more than a rebuke - eternity itself is at stake!  

Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’  (Matthew 7:22- 23). 

Emma Stark: "I think that the dominant atmosphere of the church is the atmosphere of Antichrist.. because our default setting/behaviour is accusation, betrayal, offense, heresy hunting, put on trial mindsets, inquisition, task forces under the guise of a misapplication of Matthew 18. Now that we all nod and smile is the standard protocol, that is not the standard protocol of Christ, whose love covers, who is slow to anger, who says in Corinthians 'and now regard no one from a worldly point of view'..  So you are layering these Christ scriptures, and we find that we make Church deeply unsafe because we are Antichrist in culture.." 

In other words, according the Emma Stark, those who practice the spiritual gift of "distinguishing between spirits" and warn against false prophets are "Antichrist in culture". (1 Corinthians 12:10; 1 John 4:1). This distorted view of Christ promotes "love" without truth and disregards the repeated warnings about false christs and false prophets in the scriptures. (Matthew 24:24; 2 Peter 1:15 etc.). We must see evidence of genuine repentance before "fervent charity" can be extended towards false prophets. 

The remainder of this video is full of various aspects of NAR "prophetic" nonsense that I will not address in this post.

EMMA STARK'S PROPHETIC CORONATION WARNING!

(106) URGENT CORONATION PROPHETIC WARNING - with Emma Stark | Decree The Week! - YouTube

Certain persons, by swerving from these, have wandered away into vain discussion, desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions. (1 Timothy 1:6-7 cf. 2 Timothy 3:13).

Emma Stark, supported by her associate Ruth Weller at Global Prophetic Alliance, has submitted what she describes as "a weighty word" and "an urgent coronation prophetic warning". In the above video, she asks her followers to "weigh and test biblically what we are laying at your feet".  On examination, Emma Stark's "weighty word", is an unabashed example of biblical ignorance and eisegesis. (John 4:1). 

Emma Stark: "They want to achieve a coronation of deception, and they want to have enthroned over the British Isles and the Commonwealth, and then touching all the nations around the world, an enthronement of deception and a raising of the Antichrist spirit in our midst..  What we have been watching in the spirit is the covens and the witchcraft community around the world sharing power.. to release a tidal wave of deception.. What we are decreeing on the back of this..  is the John 16 passage.. we will invoke in the limitless power of King Jesus.. a spirit of truth to come in place of a coronation of deception and Antichrist.. and to say now John 16 verse 12: 'the spirit of truth is welcome in my nation'. We have never had to navigate that because we had our Queen, or we had godliness at the head of our state church. That is now absent. So for the first time ever, we have this layering of political leadership, of national church leadership and of royal monarchy leadership.."

While her supporters are busy decreeing and declaring, Emma Stark announced that she will be doing more important things: "When I fly in the Spirit of God I have literally flown in the spirit around the throne .. that is my job in the body of Christ.. If you are not used to that level of warfare use the decrees.. I am certainly flying around the throne in the spirit in London saying that the agreement of the international covens will not hold.."

Emma Stark obviously hasn't noticed that Satan is the prince of this world aka the ruler of the world. (John 14:30; John 12:31; John 16:11; Colossians 2:8; 1 John 4:3)). She refers to "a three cord demonic agreement" i.e. church, state and government as a recent development of deception. In fact, this is no new development. It is doubtful whether the CofE has ever been godly at its highest levels, and in recent decades it has been in terminal decline. This year, conservative leaders representing 85% of the Anglican Communion have officially rejected the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby and the Church of England due to their support of same-sex blessings: "Since the Lord does not bless same-sex unions, it is pastorally deceptive and blasphemous to craft prayers that invoke blessing in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit." {1}

In a previous post, I identified the Druidic and Masonic affiliations of the Queen and the Royal Family. These affiliations make it impossible to accept that the Queen was a true bible believing Christian as Emma Stark claims. {2}

If Emma Stark followed the bible she would realize that there will not be a four billion soul harvest and that there is no revival on the horizon. Actually, Satan will temporarily gain authority over the earth for a short time! Those who follow the false doctrine of Dominion Theology and reject the literal interpretation of the Book of Revelation are in very serious error. Dominion Theology proponents teach the diametric opposite of biblical eschatology. 

But woe to the earth and the sea; with great fury the devil has come down to you, knowing he has only a short time. And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child. But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle to fly from the presence of the serpent to her place in the wilderness, where she was nourished for a time, and times, and half a time. Then from the mouth of the serpent spewed water like a river to overtake the woman and sweep her away in the torrent. But the earth helped the woman and opened its mouth to swallow up the river that had poured from the dragon’s mouth. And the dragon was enraged at the woman, and went to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. (Revelation 12:12-17 cf. Revelation 13:7-8).

John 16:12-15 in context!

Emma Stark's claims about invoking a spirit of truth in place of a coronation of deception and Antichrist is typical meaningless NAR nonsense. 

It is critical to note that it is the Holy Spirit who makes declarations: the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of truth) will declare to believers the things that are to come. The Holy Spirit/Spirit of truth is the third person of the Godhead and is not subject to the whims or imaginations of human beings. The Holy Spirit cannot be "released"  or "invoked"  by any person. 

I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you. (John 16:12-15)..

How are we to wrestle?

In context, the scriptures direct us to stand (στῆναι πρός - stand one’s ground {against the wiles of the devil}). Cambridge Bible: "The key-word of the passage. The present picture is not of a march, or of an assault, but of the holding of the fortress of the soul and of the Church for the heavenly King." {3} Christians have no scriptural remit to directly oppose wicked powers and principalities.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12).

The full armour of God i.e. the complete armour of God, comprises truth, righteousness, the gospel, faith, salvation, and the word of God. NOTE: praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. (Ephesians 6:14-18). When we pray we bypass the powers and principalities and go directly to God Himself. Daniel's example: Daniel did not direct his attention to powers and principalities, rather he humbled himself and his prayers were heard. The subsequent struggle between angelic powers of good and evil ensued for a period of twenty-one days-

“Do not be afraid, Daniel,” he said, “for from the first day that you purposed to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. However, the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia. Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision concerns those days.” (Daniel 10:12-14).

 

Emma Stark: "Occasionally you see a principality inhabit a single person. Now you see that in the days of Jezebel in scripture..  the girl with a witchcraft principality in Acts 16". 

Jezebel was a Phoenician princess and a Baal worshipper. (1 Kings 16:31). There is no doubt that she was very wicked, but she is not described as being inhabited by a particular "principality". The slave girl in Acts 16 is described as having "a spirit of divination", not a "principality". (Acts 16:16). The reason for the subsequent commotion at Philippi was that her owners lost their source of income. (Acts 16:19-24). Principalities and powers are described in Ephesians 6:12 as εν τοις επουρανιοις, in, or about, heavenly places. They rule/preside over different geographical locations/nations and at hold sway over inferior spirits and demons. Principalities (as against demons) do not inhabit/possess human beings. The scriptures confirm that demons are terrestrial. (Matthew 12:43; Mark 5:13). In Ancient Jewish texts such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, demons are described as the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim. See also the non-canonical books of 1 Enoch, the book of Jubilees 10:5. {4} Josephus mentions δαιμόνια taking possession of men: Antiquities 6, 11, 2f; 6, 8, 2; 8, 2, 5 and describes them as the spirits of wicked men deceased b. j. 7, 6, 3. {5} In other words, a distinction exists between principalities and powers (in heavenly places), and demons (earthbound spirits). As Emma Stark claims to be an expert on spiritual warfare and allegedly goes to heaven on a regular basis she should know this!

  

1 Enoch 15:8: Now the giants, who have been born of spirit and of flesh, shall be called upon earth evil spirits, and on earth shall be their habitation. Evil spirits shall proceed from their flesh, because they were created from above; from the holy Watchers was their beginning and primary foundation. Evil spirits shall they be upon earth, and the spirits of the wicked shall they be called. The habitation of the spirits of heaven shall be in heaven, but upon earth shall be the habitation of terrestrial spirits, who are born on earth. {6}

The scriptures call on Christians to pray for those in positions of authority. To go further than this is to add to the scriptures and to act presumptuously. (Proverbs 30:6).

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. (1 Timothy 2:1-6 cf. Ephesians 6:18).

Emma Stark displays the unfortunate symptoms of a superiority complex; she loves the drama and oozes confidence, frequently reiterating her own importance as a "spiritual warfare expert" and a "prophet". “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”, is a law of propaganda often attributed to the Nazi Joseph Goebbels. Emma Stark seems to be a case in point with 50.2K subscribers on her YouTube channel. It is very concerning that so many people have been taken in by this false teacher/prophet.

EMMA STARK'S TOILET EXPERIENCE

 (19) Tour of the Prophetic | Emma Stark & Ivan Roman - YouTube

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. (1 John 4:1)

I am reluctant to post anything more about Emma Stark and her deranged stories. Whether she just makes up stuff or whether her alleged encounters with Jesus and angelic beings are demonic I cannot say. In any event, this stupidity is NOT from the Lord. 

In this particular video Emma claims to have been taken up to the throne room of heaven from the toilet. She also claims that Jesus has red shoes. (27:00 mark) I'm sorry but if you really do believe this nonsense then you are seriously deceived. 

The book of Revelation gives a description of Jesus'appearance, and there is no mention of red shoes! 

Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength. (Revelation 1:12-16).

The comments say it all:

EMMA STARK: JUNE 2022 FALSE PROPHETIC WORD

“Houses of Worship” Prophetic Word – Emma Stark – Global Prophetic Alliance (propheticscots.com)

(3) Watch | Facebook

But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be under a curse! As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be under a curse! (Galatians 1:8-9).  

The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)

The NAR is a toxic movement that is based on unbiblical dominionist theology. Their eschatology necessitates that in order for the Lord to return, the church will become all-powerful on the earth. This stands in stark contradiction to the scriptural description of the end times. (Matthew 24:9-12; Luke 18:8). A critical part of NAR strategy is the claim that God is restoring the alleged "lost offices" of "apostles and prophets" to church governance. These modern "apostles and prophets" seek to impose another foundation that is at variance with the original foundation laid by Jesus Christ and His chosen apostles. (Ephesians 2:20). The NAR does not claim a continuation of the gifts of the Spirit as is implied in the New Testament, rather they claim restoration of the gifts. It is a gross error to assume that a prophet, or someone who prophesies, necessarily holds a position of authority within the church. Paul refers to prophecy as a gift, not an office. (1 Corinthians 12:10, 14:1; Romans 12: 6 cf. Acts 13:1). Interestingly the Old Testament prophets stood outside the hierarchical system of governance. (Jeremiah 1:6-7; Amos 1:1 etc.)  Three distinct criteria for the office of "apostle" are defined in the New Testament: An apostle must have been an eyewitness to the post-resurrection appearances of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 9:1); he was chosen by the Holy Spirit (Acts 9:15); and he ministered miraculous signs and wonders (Acts 2:43; 2 Corinthians 12:12). NAR leaders are a dishonest hierarchy of imposters who distort the scriptures and who seek to dislodge believers from the true foundation of Jesus Christ and the teaching of His authentic apostles. These imposters are referred to by Peter as those who bring the gospel into disrepute.. "blots and blemishes.. with hearts trained in greed". (2 Peter 2:2, 13-14).

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).

The NAR movement puts an unbalanced emphasis on supernatural manifestations and extra-biblical revelation, putting an experiential relationship with God above the scriptures. These people always want to conjure up something in the present (examples include fire tunnels, fake glory clouds, gold dust and feathers). The scriptures are depreciated at the expense of extra-biblical spiritual experiences where spiritual discernment is abandoned and reason is suspended. The never-ending cycle of first-person "prophecies" and "the next move of God" that fail to materialize necessitates ever-increasing ramped-up dramatic proclamations and strategies in order to perpetuate the dubious agenda of these wolves.  

New versus old wineskins

The Introductory Notes to Emma Stark's latest "prophetic word" contains a number of concerning statements. Emma Stark urges people not to sow money into places that are "old wineskins". 

Emma Stark: "Finally, at the end, when Emma is commenting on the word she has given, she urges us to not sow into places that are old wineskins or partnered with the political spirit.. Please continue to support those faithful Levites who have prayed without ceasing for you, your family, your city and your nation!"

Neither is new wine put into old wineskins. If it is, the skins burst and the wine is spilled and the skins are destroyed. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved.” (Matthew 9:17 cf. Matthew 9:16-17; Luke 5:36).

The consensus amongst bible scholars is that the old wine, the old wineskins, and the old garment are symbols of Judaism and the Mosaic Law, whereas the new wine and the new garment are symbols of Christianity and grace. When Emma Stark and Simon Braker refer to "old wineskins" they refer to orthodox Christianity which they have rejected. According to the NAR, the "old wineskins" are churches that do not recognize the authority of self-appointed "prophets and apostles". These offices were originally promoted by archdeceiver C Peter Wagner, the founder of the NAR who anointed himself "Presiding Apostle". NAR "apostles and prophets" and their “new wineskin” churches are at odds with the biblical model of church governance. There is no example of a church in the New Testament that gives a single individual authority over a church or a group of churches. Paul and Barnabus appointed elders in every town. (Acts 14:23; Acts 15:6; Titus 1:5). Elders (overseers) held overall responsibility for the oversight of New Testament churches, not prophets, and certainly not fictitious "apostles". The "new wineskin" model turns the scriptural model of the church on its head and gives authority to usurpers who can say anything they like without being held accountable. (1 John 4:1).  

Diotrephes is an example of presumptuous individuals who reject the authority of the bona fide apostles:

I have written something to the church, but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge our authority. So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, talking wicked nonsense against us. And not content with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers, and also stops those who want to and puts them out of the church. (3 John 1:9-10).

Emma Stark compounds her error by referring to a new elite class of believers.. an international coalition of Levites.

Emma Stark: "And the Spirit of the Lord says, 'I am lassoing into place an international coalition of Levites who [will be] in every continent [so that] there will be houses of worship where I can sit.."

The Levitical priesthood is an Old Testament model. The priests of Israel were a separate group of men from within the tribe of the Levites who had responsibility for various aspects of tabernacle or temple worship. There is no elite group or special priestly class of believers within the New Testament church. The New Testament describes the priesthood of all believers. 

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light" (1 Peter 2:5-9).

Emma Stark: For I want to be Emmanuel, the God who is with my people... ..there will be houses of worship where I can sit.." 

The name Emmanuel (Immanuel) is a name for Jesus which appears four times in the scriptures. (Isaiah 7:14, 8:8,10). Immanuel is found only once in the New Testament: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us). (Matthew 1:22-23). These interlinked prophecies were fulfilled by the physical birth of Jesus Christ. There is no sense in which God wants to be Immanuel, Jesus already is Immanuel (God with us). God sits on his holy throne in heaven. (Psalm 27:8 Isaiah 40:22). There is no scriptural evidence to suppose that God wants to "sit" anywhere on the earth at the present time. God is present amongst true believers by His Spirit: For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” (Matthew 18:20 cf. Matthew 28:20). 

Worship Apostles?

Emma Stark: And I will put worship apostles back in the earth”, says the Lord. “It is the anointing of the ‘apostles of worship’..   You're going to have strategies of sound. You’re going to have building grace, because apostles have building grace. You're going to know what it is to build ‘sound mountains’ - ‘worship sound mountains’ in the earth. I don’t even know what that is but the Lord says that there are going to be ‘worship sound mountains’ in the earth that rise above all the other mountains. And the sound that comes from apostolic worship leaders will be a sign that many will flock to - to find Jesus.

Jesus charged the apostles with the "great commission". They were called to preach the gospel verbally and to make disciples of all nations. (Matthew 28:18-29; John 17:18). The specific instructions given to the apostles bears no resemblance to "sound mountains". 

..go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20 cf. Acts 1:8).

Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, and in which you stand firm. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas and then to the Twelve. After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles. And last of all He appeared to me also, as to one of untimely birth.1 Corinthians 15:1-8)

Emma Stark's intention to set up "sound mountains" stands in contradiction to the biblical concept of ekklésia. Churches (ekklésias) are found in the scriptures, not "worship sound mountains" or "strategies of sound". Ekklesia predominantly applies to the local assembly of believers who profess faith in, and allegiance to, Jesus Christ. The idea of exclusive worship centres based on "sound"  is alien to the varieties of gifts and activities found in the New Testament Church. (1 Corinthians 12:4-11). 

..in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men. (Matthew 15:9).

God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” (John 4:24).

Emma Stark appears to backtrack in her Introductory Notes and I wonder if there has been an adverse reaction from competing NAR "houses of prayer" such as IHOP. 

Emma and David Stark: "So, for clarity: this word is NOT about not praying or in any way demeaning the importance of prayer and those places that are specifically called to pray. The focus of the word is very clearly on something else - houses of worship - and the new wine structures where, as the word goes on to say,  …from that place will come the words, the healings, the miracles, the deliverances, the community transformation. It is from the house of worship that I will birth the next move of what I am doing in the earth… Prayer will be fundamental in this, of course!"

Emma Stark: "The day of God's glory weight   --  3 Psalm 22:3 'Yet you are holy, you who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel.'  Some translations of the Bible have this as God inhabiting or dwelling in the praises of Israel, His people. For clarity - yes, God already has a throne - Heaven is His throne and the earth His footstool (Is.66:1) The Son is already on the throne, seated at the right hand of the Father. His throne is eternal (see Ps 45:6; Heb 1:8; Ps 2:6; Lam 5:19 etc). This word is a strategy for hosting His glory in the midst of our gatherings" 

Emma Stark's current "prophetic word" is much the same as her previous "words". It is experience based and calls for a new thing that THEY have to establish rather than what God has already established. 

Emma Stark: “Kanye West is a small first fruit”. I assume she means things like Kayne West's appearance with Justin Beiber and Satanist Marilyn Manson at his creepy Haloween Sunday Service in 2021 in front of a watching world! {1}

EMMA STARK: REVELATION 11 DISTORTED ~ 2022 PROPHETIC WORD

2022 Prophetic Word - The Era of The Holy Spirit is Here - Emma Stark // The Terminal 2022 - YouTube

According to Emma Stark, previous "prophecies" concerning imminent breakthrough, success etc. being spouted for years by NAR "prophets" should be discounted because she says: "You don't see that model anywhere in scripture." If that is the case, then why were they spouting this nonsense in the first place? Emma Stark's answer: God was testing everyone so that we would know the difference between a "true prophet" and a "politically motivated prophet". Apparently, the exposing of error has given space for "the birthing of divinely authorized prophetic ministry". In other words, the charlatans who previously prophesied imminent breakthrough were "politically motivated prophets" aka false prophets. Emma Stark is now prophesying "imminent revival" (again), this time from a distorted dominionist interpretation of Revelation 11. 

Revelation 11 Prophetic Church 2022? 

Emma Stark prophesies "monumental changes for the entire church" this year:

"The spirit of the Lord says this: 'You will see in your lifetime a most mighty gift, a seeing and a receiving and a becoming for the first time in church history the Revelation 11 prophetic people..

The Lord is saying right now that we are entering a new day when we are going to become a prophetic church. That means that it is not just the prophets who are going to prophesy and hear God, but the entire church is going to become a church of revelation.. That means that you are about to hear God like you have never heard him before. That means that the veil between the natural and the spirit realm is about to so disintegrate that you have a clarity, open visions, encounters, seer sight gift..  that is going to come on mass from the youngest to the oldest into the house of God. It is going to change everything.. It is a church that is modelled on Moses and Elijah.. with fire in its mouth..  an emergence of prophets and people who can command the weather, who can speak plagues into being, who can devour enemies.."

Emma Stark goes on to instruct her audience to repeat: "I can hear the voice of God." She describes this as "a weapon of a decree in the spirit realm". She continues: "And the Spirit of the Lord says, 'I am about to dress the prophets in clean garments and they will rebuke Satan.'" The idea that Christians can rebuke Satan is a typical charismatic fallacy and is unbiblical. Scripturally, no one rebukes Satan except God Himself. (Jude 1:9; Zechariah 3:2).  

Emma Stark offers no exegesis for yet another absurd teaching in which she distorts every aspect of the text of Revelation 11:1-14. Biblically, the idea of a "Revelation 11 prophetic church" is a contradiction in terms. The timing of Revelation 11:1-14 occurs during the period known as the great tribulation in Matthew 24:21 cf. Daniel 12:1. Revelation 11:1-14 concerns two individuals i.e. two male prophets, not the entire church. The two witnesses are.. the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. (Revelation 11:4). Zechariah identifies them as.. the two anointed ones who are standing beside the Lord of all the earth.” (Zechariah 4:14). The two witnesses are sent by God from the throne room of heaven to perform their prophetic assignment from Jerusalem for a period of 1260 days (42 months). There is some debate about the identity of the two witnesses; some believe them to be Moses and Elijah or possibly Moses and Enoch. The two witnesses will minister during the second half of the 70th week of Daniel during the great tribulation. (Matthew 24:21 cf. Daniel 9:24). After 1260 days the Antichrist will kill the two witnesses and God will raise them from the dead after three and a half days. Since the third temple has not been rebuilt and the Antichrist has not yet appeared on the world scene we can be sure that we are not in that timeframe. 

The Two Witnesses

Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the number of worshipers there. But exclude the courtyard outside the temple. Do not measure it, because it has been given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for 42 months. And I will empower my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” These witnesses are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. If anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouths and devours their enemies. In this way, anyone who wants to harm them must be killed. These witnesses have power to shut the sky so that no rain will fall during the days of their prophecy, and power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish.

The Witnesses Killed and Raised

When the two witnesses have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will wage war with them, and will overpower and kill them. Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city—figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where their Lord was also crucified. For three and a half days all peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will view their bodies and will not permit them to be laid in a tomb. And those who dwell on the earth will gloat over them, and will celebrate and send one another gifts, because these two prophets had tormented them. But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered the two witnesses, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell upon those who saw them. And the witnesses heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watched them. And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand were killed in the quake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven. The second woe has passed. Behold, the third woe is coming shortly. (Revelation 11: 1-14).

Emma Stark is in real danger of eternal condemnation. I appeal to both Emma Stark and her followers to take heed of the severe warning not to alter the words of the book of Revelation and repent. (Revelation 21:8).

I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. (Revelation 22:18-19).

This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They are filling you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD. They keep saying to those who despise Me, ‘The LORD says that you will have peace,’ and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart, ‘No harm will come to you.’ But which of them has stood in the council of the LORD to see and hear His word? Who has given heed to His word and obeyed it? Behold, the storm of the LORD has gone out with fury, a whirlwind swirling down upon the heads of the wicked. The anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has fully accomplished the purposes of His heart. In the days to come you will understand this clearly. I did not send these prophets, yet they have run with their message; I did not speak to them, yet they have prophesied. But if they had stood in My council, they would have proclaimed My words to My people and turned them back from their evil ways and deeds.” (Jeremiah 23:16-22 cf. 2 Peter 2:1).

EMMA STARK: VOMITING ANOINTING

Prophetic Word for 2022 - Interview with Emma Stark - YouTube

Encounter Today: "What is God saying about 2022? What does the church need to be ready for? Where does prophecy even come from? In this video, Pastor Alan DiDio interviews Emma Stark about what is coming in 2022 and how you can begin developing that prophetic gifting that is inside you. Sister Emma also shines a light on the religious spirit in the Pentecostal and charismatic church today, and how God is going to weaponize the church."

What exactly is Emma Stark's "vomiting anointing"? 

Emma Stark describes the "vomiting anointing" as a tool she utilizes in the form of a declaration/impartation that enables believers to resist or reject the sinful things in the world that are not of God. She specifically mentions the pornography culture, the drug culture, the drink culture, the LGBTQ+ culture and she also includes "old wine" within the church. 

Emma Stark: "God, help me taste what is not you and just spit it out.. Can I just be sick and repulsed by what is not your kingdom.. That doesn't just apply to sin in our society, it also applies to 'old wine', that which used to carry God and doesn't. I want to be sick when I taste 'old wine' in church. I want to be repulsed by it.. Jesus would you give to these dear precious listeners a vomiting anointing. I loose a vomiting anointing into your mouth right now..  May you be nauseous and sick when you taste the old stuff." (10:00 mark)

Christians do not need to receive an "anointing" from anyone professing to be a "prophet" in order to overcome sin or temptation in their lives. It is incumbent upon believers to abide in Jesus Christ and to avoid the sins of the flesh. (John 15:4; Galatians 5:24; Ephesians 5:18). The subject of "vomiting" in the scriptures is often applied to the land "vomiting" out its wicked inhabitants. (Leviticus 20:22). The term is also found in Jesus Christ's warning to the church in Laodicea. (Revelation 3:16). The "old wine" referred to in the New Testament is the old covenant under the Mosaic Law which has been superseded by the gospel of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 9:14-17, Mark 2:18-22 and Luke 5:33-39 cf. Hebrews 8:6). There are so many errors in Emma Stark's teaching that it is difficult to know where to begin. Her flair for superfluous reinvention and misapplication of the scriptures really is quite staggering!

According to Emma Stark the church has gone "..from shaking to dismantling to impending reformation in 2022. The entire church will be performing miracles signs and wonders." This is a time specific prophecy that Emma Stark has applied to the entire church for 2022 ~ it is not limited to the chosen few claiming to be "apostles" and "prophets". In effect, she gives gives the entire "church" free rein to follow her lead and speak utter nonsense and blasphemy.

The unbiblical "vomiting anointing" diverts attention from prayer and the pattern given by Jesus Christ: ..And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. (Matthew 6:13). Throughout the Bible we repeatedly see God encouraging believers to ask in prayer, not to decree. There are various scriptures concerning how to resist the temptation to sin, but none of them concerns a declaration or an anointing that affords special protection to believers. The only time that anointing is mentioned in relation to believers is in 1 John 2:20. True believers have the anointing of the Holy Spirit. 

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. (1 Corinthians 10:13).

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (James 4:7).

Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. (1 Corinthians 6:18-20)

For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. (Hebrews 2:18).

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness (Ephesians 6:10-18).

See Also.. 1 John 1:9; 1 John 2:1; 2 Timothy 2:22; Hebrews 4:15; 1 Peter 5:8-11; Psalm 119:11..

.. for my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water. (Jeremiah 2:13).

Blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, who has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood. (Psalm 40:4).

EMMA STARK / REBECCA KING: LAND AND WEALTH TRANSFER HERESY

 Conversations - Episode 140 with Emma Stark, Rebecca King and Helen Azer - YouTube

The great transfer of wealth heresy

The "great transfer of wealth" heresy associated with Dominion Theology is based on the false premise that power and wealth must be redistributed to the church in order to establish God's kingdom on earth in order to facilitate the return of Jesus Christ. The scriptures do not teach that the church will achieve millennial conditions during this age. The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) aligns itself with postmillennialism, the faulty view that focuses on the progressive defeat of satanic forces and the expansive influence of Christianity, culminating in the return of Jesus. Postmillennialism is plainly contradicted in the scriptures, which indicate that the Antichrist, not the church, will establish control of the whole earth prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ. (Revelation 13:1-18 cf. 2 Timothy 3:1-7; 1 Timothy 4:1-3). Postmillennialism stands in stark contrast to the biblical premillennial position, also attested to in the writings of the early church fathers. 

Rebecca King: "What I am seeing before me is storehouses behind people. I see the Spirit of the Lord coming and opening your eyes to see the storehouses behind you, and the angel of the Lord coming and handing you keys and saying 'this is for this.. now is the time, there is plenty here for this.. open this door..' We are finished with stopping the flow of goodness of God in our nation."  (20:00 mark)

Emma Stark: "I hear the Spirit of the Lord say this: 'Did I not promise land to the Israelites in the wilderness, and did I not provide for them a portion and an inheritance?' And the Spirit of the Lord says 'As I have grafted you Gentiles in, you too are inheritors of the promise of possession of land.' And the Lord says 'I gave it to the Israelites, and then I gave it to the early church.' And the spirit of the Lord says 'Even the early church in Italy owned most of the land mass of that nation because of what the Emperor had handed to them'..  The Spirit of the Lord says 'I will give back like I gave to the Israelites, I will give back like I gave to the early church when the Emperor Constantine was in place...  receive your inheritance, receive your resourcing' says the Lord.."

When tested by the scriptures, both Emma Stark and Rebecca King provably do not receive their visions and messages from the Lord. (1 John 4:1; 1 Thessalonians 5:21). NAR "prophets" are false teachers operating in a spirit of error disguised as the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. (1 John 4:6). As previously reported, the NAR "seven mountain mandate" has an uncanny likeness to the theosophical "seven rays of light" promoted by Madame Blavatsky and Alice Bailey. {1}

What and when is our inheritance?

..to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, (1 Peter 1:4).  

Barnes: "To an inheritance - Through the resurrection of the Lord Jesus we now cherish the hope of that future inheritance in heaven. On the word inheritance, see the Acts 20:32 note; Ephesians 1:11, Ephesians 1:14, Ephesians 1:18 notes; Colossians 1:12 note. Christians are regarded as the adopted children of God, and heaven is spoken of as their inheritance - as what their Father will bestow on them as the proof of his love." {2} 

“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ (Matthew 25:31-40). (Matthew 8:11; Luke 13:29)   

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe in Me as well. In My Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and welcome you into My presence, so that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.” (John 14:1-4).

Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. (Colossians 3:23-24).

Bengel's Gnomen: "Colossians 3:24. Τῆς κληρονομίας, of the inheritance) Although you have no inheritance in the world, but are part of an inheritance passing from your Master to His children.—Χριστῷ, Christ) who rewards them that serve Him.—δουλεύετε, ye serve) while you thus serve." {3}

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed. (2 Peter 3:10).

And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. (1 John 2:17).

Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.” (John 18:36).

Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.. “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. (Matthew 25:33-41).

The inheritance is kept in heaven - it is future. 

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. (1 Peter 1:3-5 cf. Matthew 5:12).

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory..  Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. (Colossians 3:1-4, 23-24).

Kryas and demonic possession

In the above episode of "Conversations" you will see Rebecca King and Helen Azer manifesting kriyas. Kriyas are spontaneous body movements manifesting as muscle twitches, jerks, shaking, muscle cramps, spontaneous vocalizations etc. Kriyas are a relatively recent development within charismatic circles and are prevalent in places like Bethel Church Redding. These manifestations are identical to those exhibited by practitioners of Kundalini Yoga taught by Indian mystics.

Truth in Reality: "Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, who set up shop in Oregon for a few years in the 80s and led many Americans to demon-possession, whose followers dressed in red, is shown in this film administering ‘shaktipat’ to one of his disciples. Rajneesh is what he used to be called anyway, although as I recall he changed his name to something like Oshi(?) after his criminal activities in America got him deported. ‘Shaktipat’ is most probably the touch of a demon-possessed person being given to another person to ‘impart’ the demonic phenomena to the recipient, the ‘kriyas’ or the jerkings and laughing and shakings and barkings and falling down and so on. The Hindu understanding is that it’s ‘awakening’ the ‘Kundalini,’ which is supposedly some sort of ‘energy’ that’s latent in the body, built into the human frame. In either case it’s clearly something that goes on in pagan religions and doesn’t belong in Christian churches.. They are doing exactly the same thing in the ‘Christian’ churches only not calling it ‘Shaktipat’ or the phenomena ‘kriyas’ but promoting it as ‘the power of the Holy Spirit.’" {4} 

The only manifestations comparable to kriyas in the scriptures were exhibited by those who were demon possessed.   

And they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man, the one who had had the legion, sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid. (Mark 5:15).

But all things should be done decently and in order. (1 Corinthians 14:40,33; Colossians 2:5).
Pulpit Commentary: "Decently; that is, 'with decorum.'" {5}

..for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. (2 Timothy 1:7).

CONVERGENCE21 HOLY TRINITY CHURCH LEICESTER 

Emma Stark and Rebecca King are two of the false prophets who will be speaking at CONVERGENCE21 at Holy Trinity Church Leicester in November. {6} Other speakers are "prophets" Simon Braker, Larry Sparks and Preethy Kurian. Frankly it would be just as dangerous (and less expensive) to attend the local spiritualist church! 

Those who should have been guarding God's flock are responsible for the current infiltration of false doctrines into the church. If your pastor/minister/elders are recommending these false prophets, they are failing in their duty to guard believers from spiritual deception. The warnings and judgments in Ezekiel 34 and Jeremiah 23:1-8 are equally applicable to todays hirelings. (Acts 20:28; 1 Timothy 4:11,16; Romans 16:17).

The word of the LORD came to me: “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy, and say to them, even to the shepherds, Thus says the Lord GOD: Ah, shepherds of Israel who have been feeding yourselves! Should not shepherds feed the sheep? You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, you slaughter the fat ones, but you do not feed the sheep. The weak you have not strengthened, the sick you have not healed, the injured you have not bound up, the strayed you have not brought back, the lost you have not sought, and with force and harshness you have ruled them. So they were scattered, because there was no shepherd, and they became food for all the wild beasts. My sheep were scattered; they wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. My sheep were scattered over all the face of the earth, with none to search or seek for them. (Ezekiel 34:1-6).
