False Prophets

Celia Rose Okhuysen (USA)

REVISED: March 2, 2005 — I would like to extend my humble apologies to the reader for my omission of a key sentence about the bride’s wedding dress. It may have caused some confusion in the interpretation. Because of my repeated revision work on the document during its composition, I overlooked and neglected the following sentence: “The wedding dress belonged to the woman who held it in her hand.”

>> “The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream; and he who has My word, LET HIM SPEAK MY WORD FAITHFULLY. What is the chaff to the wheat?” says the Lord. “Is not My word like a fire?” says the Lord, “and like a hammer that breaks the rock [hardened heart] in pieces? Therefore behold, I am against the [false] prophets,” says the Lord; [“I am even now descending upon them with punishment, these prophets] who steal My words from one another [imitating the phrases of the true prophets]. Behold, I am against the prophets,” says the Lord, “ who use their [own deceitful] tongues and say, ‘Thus says [the Lord].’ Behold, I am against the prophets,” says the Lord, “who prophesy lying dreams,” says the Lord, “and tell them and cause My people to err and go astray by their lies and by their vain boasting and recklessness, when I DID NOT SEND THEM or command them; nor do they profit this people at all,” says the Lord (Jer. 23:28, 30-32 — Amplified Bible).

>> Then the Lord said to me, “The [false] prophets prophesy lies in My name. I SENT THEM NOT, neither have I commanded them, nor have I spoken to them. They prophesy to you a false or pretended vision, … the deceit of their own minds” (Jer. 14:14 — Amplified Bible).

DREAM — August 7, 1989

It was a pale gray day. I walked in the midst of a large gathering of people in a countryside setting. They were mostly men, and all wore winter clothing. Some wore jackets while others wore coats. Strangely, however, it was not cold at all. The temperature was quite mild.

We were in an enormous open field setting. The mowed grass was “healthy” green. There were no flowers, bushes, weeds, fences nor rocks to be seen anywhere. In the far distance, I could see many, many healthy tall green trees all around the enormous field. In the middle of the open field was a very long wooden bare table with empty chairs. The people moved about casually while talking among themselves. A while later, I noticed that a few people now sat at the table. There was an empty chair at one end of the long table, but there was no chair at the other end of the table.

Later, I saw large groups sitting in audience-like fashion on both sides of the table, behind some of those already seated on both sides of the table. I now sat in the midst of the audience on one side of the table. A man in the audience, on the opposite side, to the left, stood up in the front row just behind those seated at the table. He was a portly, middle-aged man with auburn color hair and a ruddy (reddish) complexion. He was robust and healthy in appearance, and spoke with a strong accent saying, “I’m waiting to be seated at this table.” Many in the audience on both sides of the table nodded their heads in agreement as some also made similar comments.

Later, I stood about thirty feet away from a drab gray concrete building wall to my left. It now stood in the midst of the field. It had no windows. A stout, fair complexioned, white-haired woman in her mid sixties and wearing a black coat hurriedly approached me from the left, saying, “I’m here for the bride’s dress.” She then quickly walked past me toward a doorway into the building.

Approximately one hundred feet ahead of me was the same long table. All the chairs at the table were now occupied, and the audiences had grown into larger crowds on both sides of the table. They calmly talked among themselves.

Next, the white-haired stout woman rushed out of the building with her right arm stretched up high as she held a long white wedding dress by the collar with her hand—not on a hangar. As she passed me to my left with the dress draped down her arm, I clearly saw the beautiful white lace and fine delicate embroidery on the dress. The woman was quite excited and in a great hurry. She hastened towards the people, parading up one side of the table between those seated at the table and the audience, then went around behind the empty seat at one end of the table, and came down the other side between the table and the opposite audience while excitedly exhibiting the bridal dress for everyone to see. While everyone focused on the dress, I noticed that a white tablecloth now covered the empty table. The chair at one end of the table remained empty while the other end of the table remained without a chair. After a short time of exhibiting the wedding dress to everyone, the woman quickly hurried out of sight to the left.

On my way towards the table I saw an empty chair that stood by itself far away from the table. While walking by the chair, I glanced down and noticed a bride’s headpiece in the form of a crown lying on its side on the empty chair. It was an exquisite crown made of stiff white lace. I picked up the headpiece, and held it up high with my right hand. I then walked toward the crowd and stood by the empty chair at the head of the table, and cried out loud for everyone to hear, “Look! It’s the bride’s headpiece!” Everyone looked as I held it up high for everyone to see. I did not parade it in the midst of the crowd as the older woman did with the bride’s dress but stood close to the empty chair at the end of the table. Excitement began to build up in their midst as they fixed their eyes on the bride’s headpiece. It had no veil. END

INTERPRETATION

The large gathering of people in the countryside represents a company of false prophets. Although the weather was mild, their wearing jackets and coats symbolizes that their hearts are cold towards Lord Jesus and His warning:

~~~~~~~~~~

>> “BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. … Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, HAVE WE NOT PROPHESIED in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I NEVER KNEW YOU; DEPART FROM ME, you who practice lawlessness!’ ” (Mt. 7:15, 16, 21-23

~~~~~~~~~~

The healthy green grass symbolizes prosperity. Their open show of “walking” on green grass reveals that they are parading as being true prophets called by God into the five-fold ministry of Eph. 4:11, 12. Inwardly, they are quietly but publicly boasting of being prosperous and blessed by “supposedly” being called to the Office of Prophet.

The full-bodied trees in the distance represent the masses in and of the world sprouting forth their endless “fruit” of unrighteousness and ungodliness. (Jn. 15:18-25 — 1Cor. 6:9, 10 — Eph. 5:5 — Rev. 21:8 — Ps. 1:4-6)

The long wooden table symbolizes a place of fellowship. Here, those few people who now begin to sit down at the table are anxious to reveal themselves to be prophets of God.

The empty chair at the end of the table represents where Lord Jesus should be seated. However, He does not KNOW these prophets as declared by Him in the above quoted Scripture. Therefore, His absence clearly reveals His rejection of these “so-called” prophets. (Eph. 4:11) It is Lord Jesus Who SENDS His Church prophets, as declared by Him in Mat. 23:24 under the anointing of Holy Spirit. (Eph. 4:11, 12)

The audiences seated behind the prophets symbolize a greater number of “wannabe” (want to be) prophets who are eager to parade themselves as prophets of God. Neither they nor those seated at the table have been “called” to the Office of Prophet by Lord Jesus through the anointing of Holy Spirit. They are walking in the flesh, and are carnally minded.

~~~~~~~~~~

>> For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit [set their minds on] the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded [walking in the flesh] is death, but to be spiritually minded [walking in the Spirit] is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity [hostile] against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, THOSE WHO ARE IN THE FLESH CANNOT PLEASE GOD. … For if you live according to the flesh you will [spiritually] die [go to Hell]; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will [spiritually] live [go to Heaven]. For as many as are LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, these are sons of God (Rom. 8:5-8, 13, 14).

~~~~~~~~~~

The man with auburn color hair and reddish complexion, who stood up to declare his intention of wanting to sit at the table with the other prophets symbolizes an “imposter,” seeking to justify himself as someone who has been called by God to be a prophet. His stout (fat) appearance reveals him to be corpulent: FLESHY. He has been operating “in the flesh” and not under the anointing of Holy Spirit. His “pronounced” accent is intended to proudly set himself apart from others in the Church of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, symbolizing that he has a “unique voice” because he is speaking as God’s mouthpiece to the Church. This “imposter” is a liar, and unless he repents, his fate is spelled out in Rev. 21:8.

~~~~~~~~~~

>> “Therefore, behold I am against the prophets,” says the Lord, … who steal My words

among one another [imitating the phrases of the true prophets]. Behold, I am against the prophets,” says the Lord, “who use their [own deceitful] tongues and say, ‘Thus says [the Lord]’ ” (Jer. 23:30, 31 ¾ Amplified Bible).

~~~~~~~~~~

Because of my anointing to observe, discern and operate in the Spirit, in the dream I am “assigned by the Spirit” to sit in the midst of one of the audiences to observe and discern these people to be false prophets.

The gray concrete building wall that now appears in the midst of the field symbolizes Hell. Its lack of distinction and color represents this building as unholy and unsanctified. Its lack of windows symbolizes that there was no Light within. It is a darkened den of iniquity. Housed within it is a maverick (nonconformist ¾ individualistic) church that has rebelled against the Word of God and “struck out on her own,” away from an intimate, faithful, humble, obedient and worshipful relationship with Lord Jesus. She lacks conviction of sin due to her carnality.

A woman in a spiritual dream symbolizes a church and/or sin. The stout, fair complexioned, white haired “mature” woman represents an easily recognized sin-laden (flesh ridden) church. This woman symbolizes both, and has been around for a very, very long time. Here again, her stout (fat) appearance also reveals her to be corpulent: FLESHY. She has been operating “in the flesh” and not under the anointing of Holy Spirit. She has “structured” and promoted herself as a “social country club” for the Saints’ pleasures and amusements rather than operate under the anointing and teaching of Holy Spirit to TEACH and exhort (encourage) them how to pray, read and study the Word of God, and to work out their salvation through fear and trembling (Phil. 2:12). Her white hair (symbolic of “wisdom”) portrays deception through “counterfeit wisdom.” THUSLY, the result is her fictitious teaching and consecration of “false prophets” that “tickle ears.”

The symbolic color of sin is “black.” The woman’s black coat symbolizes her as clothed in unrighteousness through disobedience and rebellion to the Word of God ¾ Lord Jesus Christ. Her “mature” appearance reveals that she has been performing in this “theater” atmosphere far too long. Throughout the ages she has deceived many, many Saints in the Church into walking and operating in the flesh, and not in the Spirit of God. The following Scripture from the Book of Romans is written to the Church of Jesus Christ of Nazareth and not to worldly sinners. Saints of God, please read the following Scripture carefully and STUDY:

~~~~~~~~~~

>> I say then: WALK IN THE SPIRIT, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. [Rom. 7:13-25] But if you are led by the Spirit you are not under the law. [Rom. 8:14] Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness [immoral; shameless; wicked], idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, SELFISH AMBITIONS, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering [patience], kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also WALK IN THE SPIRIT (Gal. 5:16-25).

~~~~~~~~~~

The wedding dress held up high by the woman’s right hand represents “hands on,” symbolizing that this church has had a “firm hold” over many Saints’ spiritual lives and their “dwarfed” (suppressed) spiritual growth. Their stunted spiritual development has kept them from growing and maturing in the Word of God, and walking in and after (Rom. 8:1) the Holy Spirit.

Parading the bride’s wedding dress in front of everyone clearly represents this church’s show of shameless pride and self-rule (“doing her own thing”) without conviction through the Word of God.

The table here symbolizes teaching and fellowship. The “teaching” here is to a class of ambitious “wannabe” prophets with others waiting on the “side lines.” The white (color of purity) tablecloth is intended to display a show of righteous teaching and calling of God. However, the empty table reveals that these people were not “nourishing” themselves on the Word of God.

~~~~~~~~~~

>> “And the [false] prophets become wind, for the word is not in them” (Jer. 5:13).

~~~~~~~~~~

The wedding dress being taken to the bride reveals that this church is alert to the imminent Rapture of the Church of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. She believes that she will be “caught up” to be with the Lord forevermore.

~~~~~~~~~~

>> …that He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should be HOLY and without blemish (Eph. 5:27).

~~~~~~~~~~

However, because of this church’s unfaithfulness, disobedience, pride and unrighteousness she will be left behind to suffer famine of the Word of God ¾ horrendous ¾ awful ¾ dreadful ¾ terrible ¾ unbearable ¾ atrocious ¾ unspeakable ¾ horrific ¾ ghastly ¾ hideous ¾ horrible ¾ appalling ¾ painful ¾ suffering ¾ famine consequences under the dictatorship of the Antichrist. Because of Lord Jesus’ great love for her (Jn. 14:21 ¾ Pr. 10:12), and His mercy toward her because He “never leaves nor forsakes [her]” (Heb. 13:5), and is her “HOPE OF GLORY” (Col. 1:27), she will still be able to remorsefully repent of her unfaithfulness and unrighteousness so as to finally enter Glory even though she will still be persecuted and martyred for her faith in her Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ.

~~~~~~~~~~

>> And it was granted to him [Antichrist] to make war with the saints and to overcome them (Rev. 13:7).

>> He [lamb with two horns, speaking like a dragon ¾ Rev. 13:11] was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. And he [Antichrist] causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666 (Rev. 13:15-18). ¾ [Read Revelation Chapter 13]

>> And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years (Rev. 20:4).

~~~~~~~~~~

The bridal headpiece in the form of a crown represents the bride’s “fallen crown.” When I picked it up from the chair I did not parade and display it before the people. Instead, as a called prophet of God I stood by the empty chair at the end of the table, held it up and symbolically declared ¾ by showing the “bride’s fallen crown” ¾ her unrighteous standing before Lord Jesus as unfaithful, proud, shameless, disobedient, backslidden, rebellious, and impenitent (no remorse).

The chair with the “fallen crown” headpiece, which the bride (church) would probably have occupied, and that belonged at the other end of the table is distanced away from the table. This reveals just how far removed she is from holiness, faithfulness, obedience, righteousness and fellowshipping with her Savior and Lord. This church has left “her first love” ¾ Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ ¾ and is therefore “fallen.” (Rev. 2:4, 5)

The missing veil symbolizes pride ¾ no shame — haughtiness ¾ arrogance ¾ overconfidence ¾ self- sufficiency.

~~~~~~~~~~

FALSE PROPHETS Scriptures

Jeremiah: 5:13, 31 ¾ 6:13 ¾ 8:10 ¾ 23:9-40 ¾ Chap. 28 ¾ 29:8, 9

~~~~~~~~~~

COMMENTARY

I’ve read and studied the Book of Jeremiah often, and what unfolded before my understanding was stunning! It could’ve almost been specifically written for today’s Church of Jesus Christ of Nazareth (JUDAH) in Chapters 1-25 in great and explicit detail. (JUDAH is mentioned in Jeremiah 183 times.) While some may debate that it specifically refers to the Israelites of that time, the Word throughout the ages expressly deals with the condition of the heart.

~~~~~~~~~~

>> “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked. Who can know it? I, THE LORD, SEARCH THE HEART, [2Chr. 16:9] I TEST THE MIND, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings (Jer. 17:9).

[IMAGINATION OF EVIL HEART[S]: Jeremiah 3:17 ¾ 7:24 ¾ 9:14 ¾ 11:8 ¾ 13:10 ¾ 16:12 ¾ 18:12 ¾ 23:17]

~~~~~~~~~~

A study of the Book of Jeremiah by the reader would bring even greater and somber revelation with deeper conviction from the “past” (Almighty and Creator God’s declarations in the Old Testament) that sin is sin, no matter what shade or degree. The Word which endures forever (1Pet. 1:24-25) clearly declares in Hebrews 12:14 that “WITHOUT HOLINESS, NO ONE SHALL SEE THE LORD.”

A summary at the end of the Book of Jeremiah in DAKE’S ANNOTATED REFERENCE BIBLE states that the prophecy of Jeremiah might be considered the great book on backsliding and the dangers of apostasy. Apart from this only one other book even mentions the word “backsliding” (Hosea 4:16 ¾ 11:7 ¾ 14:4). Jeremiah’s theme seems to be that of judgment without mercy for those who become apostates and defy [challenge ¾ treat with contempt ¾ rebel ¾ resist ¾ disregard ¾ disobey] God. Jeremiah’s purpose was to clearly reveal the consequences of sin and apostasy; to reveal to [us] our own future in the plan of God for man; and to emphasize the fact that the destiny of every man is determined by his conformity or lack of conformity to God and His plan.

~~~~~~~~~~

MESSAGE TO THE CHURCH

At this particular time, I would like to reveal to the Church of Lord Jesus that in mid December 2004 I received strong promptings from Holy Spirit to work on and post the remaining end time dreams I had filed away in a binder. I began to receive them in August 1989, beginning with THE RAPTURE!, http://www.etpv.org/2003/therap.html. The prompting and conviction I received from Holy Spirit was that I should finalize the few remaining dreams in an orderly but prompt fashion. Therefore, since the beginning of this year I’ve been working on and posting those dreams that remained while linking each dream with the previous posted dream, etc. Following the posting of this dream, there remains one more end time dream to be worked on and posted. I cannot say why I have received these strong promptings because I do not know. Perhaps I will receive a few more dreams to the Church that will be current, OR, BELOVED, WE ARE ALMOST OUT OF HERE! But ONLY and ONLY Lord Jesus knows the exact moment when He will call His Bride Home.
