Hallo all, I would only like to ask you to consider this option that is provided under this link, i.e. that the 7th week was already fulfilled. This changes all, does it not? Here is the link (http://www.beholdthebeast.com/mathematical_precision_of_prophecy.htm. There is plenty of materials to ‘chew’ there. I’ll appreciate comments here.

As to the person under discussion. He has been shown a lot, but as far as I can see, he seems to have fallen prey to a boasting attitude, just like most humanitz before us. He claimed that setting dates in not right and yet he does just that. There are things hidden to prophets. Everyone of us is chastised and tested. No one is heaven-ready-made. But one is responsible for what one teaches, it is not the same as sharing. It is responsibility assumed, along with the reckoning for the outcome. I guess it is bad anyone provides suggestions of times and events without adding that it only seems so, and is not a God-given. Our understanding is limited. Let us never forget that. We here have a saying that the man is wiser after the loss. I think it can also be spiritually taken. There is much loss when things are presented AS IF carved in stone. Maranatha!

This is not OT times and the education on and accountability for thinking you heard from God is not the same. Michael never said he heard from God. (That would be Monte Judah who said thus saith the LORD.) If you had to not listen to further every teacher who made a mistake you would have no one left to listen to. With all teachers, I listen to their teachings and ignore their date setting which will always fail. (See http://www.escapeallthesethings.com/doomsday-date-setting.htm )

I just came across Rood. Where have I been? There sure is troubling information. But anyone who sets dates and is wrong is a false prophet. In O.T. times they were stoned. In the best of cases, he should not be listened to further.

We had a wonderful time and made great memories in Israel, too. How great it is we have stayed in touch with you all this time. We love you and Michael even though we wish he did some things differently, too. But we all test each other with our blind spots and shortcomings.

Thanks Tim. I remember being with you and your wife at that trip to Israel. It was a WONDERFUL time. I REALLY like Michael but yet AGAIN he seems to be in trouble with someone ripping him off. The guy teaching the Torah was very good. My problem is Michael is ALWAYS asking for money, ALWAYS. That in itself makes me stand off a bit. I really would like to feel I could stand with him or what to do. Love you both always JZ

As for michael. I don’t understand the long hair unless he claims to have taken a nazarite vow. Yet he is a very interesting teacher. It is people like him who open the narrow minds of people to study the scripture.

I don’t agree with everything he teaches or believes just as many would say about me. Yet many people are brought up in believing contrary to the scripture and unaware of what is really being said.

It is people like tim and mike and others who want to know the truth and live the truth, even if it is against the masses and we find ourselves stranding alone and challenge people to open the bibles and study to show themselves approved.

For most peoples lives we have been taught many false doctrines. It is up to us to study to see if what we have been taught really holds up and is in agreement with the bible.

May we have errors, yes. The true test of a man is 1. where do we stand with what we believe. Do we teach and do otherwise or do we do as we teach and 2. what we do with it when we find out or are shown our error. Do we make it right. Or do we hold to our pride and continue in it. That is the true test of the men we are.

Never heard of Michael R. However, I have met Tim McH. and know him to be a gentle teacher and voices himself without arrogance. I had a Bible Prof in Texas and would always say – With the light that I have Now , I believe this is how it plays out – As revelation is opened we can honestly change our stances. Nothing wrong with that. We all know Who our Creator is, the reason for salvation, and all know He is our Hope for eternal life. It is that simple. I LOVE hearing all the various thoughts. God bless us and cause us to seek Him with a clean heart and love others with their blemishes and scars.

I too have met Rood personally, he even met with our group on the Galilee for a short visit. I camped with Jamie in Oklahoma for Succot, more than once. I was disturbed by the way the battle happened between them, but I believe that Abba will repair their relationship. We’re in the last of “The Last Days”, so it makes sense that these spiritual battles are going on around us all! I recently lost a beloved friend because of that spiritual battle too. I trust Abba to heal it also. Tim, keep up the good work and your witness to others! We are all part of “The Body”, should we attack different parts of our own physical bodies? Neither should we attack the different parts of the spiritual body. Things are gonna get alot worse, so we better seek Abbas’ face and pray His Will be done in all our lives! Blessings, Les

Tim, I appreciate your article about Michael Rood. When I saw the link on your site I thought, “Oh no, here we go again. Another Rood-basher.” I’m glad I was wrong. I have really had my eyes opened so much since being exposed to Michael’s teachings. Strangely, much of what he teaches I’ve known and heard before, especially regarding the Pagan influences in our faith, but it never really evoked a response from me. Growing up in a family of seriously God-loving, bible reading folks and going to seminary and serving in missions for a number of years, I somehow couldn’t see the wood for the trees. But I considered myself someone who knows a lot of “stuff.” However, on MR’s last trip to Cape Town I went and listened to him and suddenly something clicked in my spirit. In that sense I do believe he is a prophet, telling FORTH the heart of the Lord as expressed in Scripture, and not tickling any ears in the process. However he doesn’t claim to be a prophet in the sense that he FOREtells events to come. He states “if I understand YHWH’s timeline correctly, then this will happen…” Note the “if.” And I agree with you. We need to test all things and keep the good. Even if you find a great teacher, there will still be some things where they are in error, thus one needs to confirm/ test all against the Word. On the converse, it could be tempting to ignore all teaching from someone you don’t like, but they likely will at some point express some truth that may be mind-blowing in terms of revelation, and you could miss it because of a previously held prejudice or pride.

Debbie, thanks for the comment. To be clear, nobody here is advocating following or accepting any teacher blindly. Even Michael does not want that as nor do I for those listening to me . But on the other hand, I do not think listening to the many detractors to his unpopular provocative message is a wise way to discern either…again you’re listening to a man and substituting his judgment for your own. I say listen to what Michael says firsthand and then judge it yourself against the Bible and decide.
