False Prophet?

Reporting on the recent American Airlines cancellations, the AP reports the following:

One passenger, Bishop Bernard Jordan, a Harlem minister, was in a first-class line trying to catch a flight to Atlanta where he was scheduled to preach at 7 p.m. “
It would have been good to know in advance,” said Bishop Jordan, who has 4 million flight miles with American and flies to Atlanta every other week. “I would have booked with another airline.”

If you are not familiar with Bishop Bernard Jordan, he is a self-proclaimed "master prophet" who produces the most ludicrous stream of jibberish, fleecing naive suckers in his quest for fame and fortune. Wouldn't you think that this "master prophet" would have already "known in advance" that his flight would be cancelled?

False Prophet

Why does anyone listen to Pat Robertson anymore? This Fox News link lists his 2008 predictions based on what he says God has told him about the year to come. Of course he was wrong (thankfully) about a major terrorist attack taking place in America in 2007, saying "All I can think is that somehow the people of God prayed and God in his mercy spared us".

OK folks, start praying that oil doesn't reach $150 per barrel, that violence be abated, and that your 401K will not suffer in 2009 or 2010. In fact, start praying now that gas will once again sell for 39 cents a gallon, that all violent men and terrorists will start to sing Kum-Ba-Yah, and that the Dow will shoot through 25,000.

What a crock. We see here nothing more than another false prophet. Not according to my standards, but according to God's:

But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.' And if you say in your heart, 'How may we know the word that the LORD has not spoken?'— when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him. - Deuteronomy 18:20-22, ESV
