On David Wilkerson and his (false) prophecies

This is my commentary as I watched the now deceased David Wilkerson deliever a long winded "sermon" on the future as he pretends to be a prophet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_R9I-qQEbs

Anyway, he is no prophet, much of the things he speaks of were simply TAKEN from what the bible said WOULD happened, or saying things that happen from time to time would happen soon (earthquakes, famines, recessions). Or he would look at things that were already happening in the culture as far as morals and making a REASONABLE conclusion on what would happen (though it did not quite go as far as naked churches being a norm in places). Anyway, he just used the same "techniques" you average charloton would use to appear to be psychic, and of course people gobble it right up, except this time it is "fundamentalist" Protestant Christian sects.  The funny part I find, Wilkerson had no issue calling Christianity a religion throughout the video, yet his modern followers find such a title appauling.  Any, the following is my comments as I was asked to watch the video.


Been 40 years....and much of this stuff hasn't happened, at the end he insists all this stuff will happen within THAT generation, yet much did not.

germany didnt start any recession, famine world wide in China and Russia???, much of the rest can be said of every generation....other stuff is based on things already happening, There were already pushes by Protestants for a Catholic union long before this look at Philip Schaff, Catholicism condemned synecretism no Protestant union unless they convert. Most of the Vision was just loosely based on what the Bible already says. Homosexuals are disordered, no lesbian ministers

CCC says devil is real

much of this stuff about the "church" never happened, at least at large, no superchurch does these

two superchurches

charasmatics already existed and still do, most pentecostal tongue talkers are frauds, regardless Pope John Paul II accepted them see http://www.archdpdx.org/ccr/popes.html

come out of her...reminds me of the JW about their coming out of Christian groups.

Church still dont controll the FCC< they did control the media thru the government before 1973, the leader of this was a presbyterian deacon see Hays http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_H._Hays

Hollywood always had dirty shows and porn, even in the 20s, the Hays code started to get rid of that, but that was already going away by the time of Wilkerson

Many chrisitans mock Billy Graham as a compromiser, yet this preacher seemed to think he was great.

churches arent taxed still, this will cause a debate over what 501c3 is...

hate christ club? I am not aware of those, the closest to those are Gay Clubs, but they typical try to make Jesus gay friendly.

Wilkerson seems to be calling Christianity a RELIGION.

Where was this mass revival in Russia? The closest to a mass revival was a conversion back to Russian Orthodoxy, not your Protestant sects, but even the Russians to this day are hardly as religious as before the Czar fell.

Many of these "prophecies"were not fulfilled in this generation, despite this preacher insisting so, undoubtedly most fundamentalist will ignore this, not wanting their hero to be exposed as a fraud with his own words.

The worst gossipers are other Christians, yet he gives the impression non Chrisitans will take down preachers. many preachers were taken down by the media....and their "gossip" turned out to be true by the admission of the preachers taken down, be they Catholic or Protestant. Look at Jimmy Swaggert, Haggard, and other televangelists


UPDATE: Wilkerson fans explain much of his prophecy did not occur ONLY because he died in a car accident 2011--as if the Holy Spirit did not see that coming! Unfortunately, if a person is a prophet they should see this or be given some indication that "these things would happen" AFTER he died.

  1. Let me tell you this, first of all you have no right what so ever to say that some person is not a prophet because after all many of the things he did prophesy did happen. second of all like you said that whatever he said didn't happen, what did Jesus say; Jesus in Matthew chapter 24 states all the things that shall come in the last days and He told His disciples that those things would be fulfilled even before that generation would pass away, did they no. we are only now experiencing what Jesus said 2000 YEARS AGO. Be careful with what you post or say about Gods anointed ones because will ask of you about what you have said and made other people believe. Even if for example if nobody knew whether David was a real prophet or not, you still have no right what so ever to say anything against them. just for your own good be careful man.
    Anyways most of your opinions are not even supported by evidence. I listened to many of his messages and when you said "Hollywood always had dirty shows and porn, even in the 20s, the Hays code started to get rid of that, but that was already going away by the time of Wilkerson" he didnt even prophecy about these things happening he stated about how terrible our so called "christian" USA has become and that christian people re allowing themselves to watch and even do all this stuff.
    With all due respect i want to warn you to be careful what you say about other people like this for example "Many of these "prophecies"were not fulfilled in this generation, despite this preacher insisting so, undoubtedly most fundamentalist will ignore this, not wanting their hero to be exposed as a fraud with his own words." The word "fraud" this guy is not my hero cause Jesus is but God used him mightily and when you call someone names like that brings rage into me and imagine how God looks at you right now? You think you did the right thing by posting this? I don't!

    1. Dear Unknown: Wilkerson said these things would happen in HIS LIFETIME, he did not use the term generation. Wilkerson died before much of stuff he predicted happened (on failed to happen, or hasn't happened). Theres no wiggle room--he was wrong. Don't compare him to the Lord.

    1. Provide reasons. I gave my reasons why I do not believe Wilkerson to be a prophet. If we used the same standard to Joseph Smith you would have to say he was a prophet to because SOME of his stuff actually happened, despite it being likely at the time to happen. Smith and Wilkerson both looked at the signs of the times and derived a logical conclusion--nothing divine about that.
