Parowan Prophet Predicts Gloom and Doom

Obama Election is One Signal

Gary Davis
Peter King, a staff writer for the Los Angeles Times reports an interesting story from Parowan, Utah. In his article "In Utah, the Parowan Prophet predicts disaster will prevent Obama from taking office," he unveils the opinions of a 66-year-old man who says we are in the "last days."

Leland Freeborn is a man who considers himself a prophet based a couple of questionable prophecies and 100,000 hits on his website.

In addition, Freeborn is a survivalist who believes we are in the last days. He suggests that there will be riots in cities like Los Angeles. At first he said Obama would not be elected and then there would be riots but since he was elected he thinks there will still be riots.

As King's article goes on to report, Freeborn says it is during these riots that the Soviet Union will attack us killing over 100 million Americans.

The two key prophecies that Freeborn points to as a verification of his "gift," is the fact he predicted the freeing of O.J. Simpson in his murder case and Al Gore winning the popular vote.

Freeborn apparently got his gift in 1975 when he crashed his plane and went into a three-week coma. It was during this time that he was on the "other side" and came back a prophet.

Reporter King spent some time with him to find that before 1975 he was a Mormon with money and 12 children. After the crash he gave away his material items to concentrate on prophesying.

King attended a weekly group meeting where Freeborn is revered.

To give the reader some idea of the mindset that exists in addition to the nuclear attack, it is valuable to read a recent letter to the editor which Freeborn wrote. I linked to that letter. It says that people in prison, at least locally, should be made to live in tents and, further, lawyers should not be allowed to hold public office.

But why is it necessary to pay attention to the "Parowan Prophet?" After all aren't there many, many people who claim to know the future, and don't we typically ignore them?

The counter-balance to Freeborn's quoting of scripture would be Revelation 13: 13-14 and many other verses like that says there will many "false prophets" who will say they speak for God.

The important consideration that this article reveals is the view of Obama's election to office. It has, I think, affected many extreme right-wing people much more than they have let on.

I recall when I was growing up there was a woman who was considered a futurist and every teenage girl went to her. In some sad cases they even changed their plans based on what she said.

It seems the concern with an article like this is the environment and influence the prophet is creating at a time when the country is already experiencing major changes.

    Dear brother in Jesus,
    God says, "I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come!. What I have said, that will I bring about; what I have planned that will I do!" Isaiah 46:10a, 11b
    Enclosed are complete Bible studies on every important question related to the End-Times which may be very close. Could the Great Tribulation possibly begin in 2010?? Are we months away from Israel bombing Iran and the beginning of World War III?? In Europe: Greece, Spain, Italy, Portugal and Ireland are about to go bankrupt; which will then bankrupt the European Union and then possibly the whole world?? Are we months away from a world-wide depression which has already begun in dozens of nations? Were the Haitian and Chilean devastating earthquakes mentioned in Matthew 24:7,8?? What are the 7 Bible clues which positively reveal the identity of 666?? Could Obama possibly be the future False Prophet of 666?? Would greatly appreciate any comments or Bible

    WHAT ARE THE 7 BIBLE CLUES WHICH REVEAL THE IDENTITY OF 666??


    Revelation 13:17b,18: "The mark of the beast {Or antichrist}is the *NAME* of the Beast or the number of *HIS NAME*. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, *LET HIM* calculate the number of the Beast {Even in AD 96 when Revelation was written}, for it is a man's number {Or "Number of a MAN"}. *HIS* number is *666*." God has promised in the above inspired passage that any saint {Even in AD 96--which implies that the name was known in AD 96} with spiritual wisdom and insight may calculate the name of the beast which is a *MAN'S NAME* and a

    Knowing things in advance gives you that extra 'edge' in all kinds of situations. Esp. in these times for survival purposes.

    the 'end times' as we all knew them, is coming to a theater near you!

    Res3ia~ the room had dissolved into pure space, revealing the "images behind images," the walls behind the sky, the sky behind the infinite. The infinite reminded us of a picasso painting.
