There is very little accountability in the prophetic movement, and because of that, many Christians no more believe in prophecies. Personally, I very much believe in prophecy, but I also believe that discernment is necessary, if we want to grow in the prophetic. In False Prophecy Files I list prophecies that have clearly been proven to be false.
1 Thessalonians 5:20-21 says, "Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good."
Jonathan Cahn prophesied that by 13th December 2015 the US economy would collapse.
(Update: Jonathan Cahn or his people finally removed the video where he made this proclamation about crash by 13th December. Unfortunately, I didn't download it...)
This didn't happen. Instead, Reuters reported on Thursday 17th December:
"The Federal Reserve hiked interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade on Wednesday, signaling faith that the U.S. economy had largely overcome the wounds of the 2007-2009 financial crisis.
The U.S. central bank's policy-setting committee raised the range of its benchmark interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point to between 0.25 percent and 0.50 percent, ending a lengthy debate about whether the economy was strong enough to withstand higher borrowing costs.
'With the economy performing well and expected to continue to do so, the committee judges that a modest increase in the federal funds rate is appropriate,' Fed Chair Janet Yellen said in a press conference after the rate decision was announced. 'The economic recovery has clearly come a long way.'"
