"The Spirit tells me - Fidel Castro will
die - in the 90's. Oooh my! Some will try to kill him and they will not
succeed. But there will come a change in his physical health, and he
will not stay in power, and Cuba will be visited of God."

The Lord
tells Benny that homosexuals in America will be destroyed by fire by 1995.

"The Lord also tells me to tell you in the
mid 90's, about '94-'95, no later than that, God will destroy the
homosexual community of America. [audience applauds] But He will not
destroy it - with what many minds have thought Him to be, He will
destroy it with fire. And many will turn and be saved, and many will
rebel and be destroyed."
—Benny Hinn. |
Note that Benny Hinn claimed that God revealed
the above prophecies to him. Now either God has erred, or Benny Hinn invented
these prophecies and he never heard from God. The truth should be obvious -
Benny Hinn does not hear from God, he is without doubt a false prophet.
Jeremiah 14:14 Then the LORD said unto me, The
prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded
them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and
divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
Ezek 13:2 [NIV] "Son of man, prophesy against
the prophets of Israel who are now prophesying. Say to those who prophesy
out of their own imagination: 'Hear the word of the LORD!
Ezek 13:3 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Woe to the foolish prophets
who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing!
Ezek 13:4 Your prophets, O Israel, are like jackals among ruins.
Ezek 13:5 You have not gone up to the breaks in the wall to repair it for
the house of Israel so that it will stand firm in the battle on the day of
the LORD.
Ezek 13:6 Their visions are false and their divinations a lie. They say,
"The LORD declares," when the LORD has not sent them; yet they expect their
words to be fulfilled.
Ezek 13:7 Have you not seen false visions and uttered lying divinations when
you say, "The LORD declares," though I have not spoken?
Ezek 13:8 "'Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because of your
false words and lying visions, I am against you, declares the Sovereign
LORD.
Ezek 13:9 My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and
utter lying divinations. They will not belong to the council of my people or
be listed in the records of the house of Israel, nor will they enter the
land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Sovereign LORD.
Now with that kind of record for Benny
Hinn, Trinity Broadcasting Network began its Spring 2000 fundraising
Praise-A-Thon with some rather astounding claims. On the April 2nd TBN
program, Benny Hinn claimed that God is about to make a major move to anoint
the people of God, as soon as Israel signs a treaty with the ailing Hafez Al-Assad*
of Syria, which will likely be within the next year. This will signal the
impending large scale shift of financial wealth from the wicked to those
obedient to God. But, in order to benefit from this unprecedented supernatural
anointing, you must be obedient to God and sow your financial seed (to TBN)
now!
However, its not the money that
really concerns God, its your total obedience. The greatest danger that
Christians face now, according to Hinn, is disobedience against God by not
contributing financially to the coming harvest of God with your seed money!
You must be willing to give your all, in order to demonstrate your true
obedience. In fact, Benny revealed that God is even now healing those who call
in their contributions to TBN. But this is not selling healing for
money, he says, it is God blessing those who are truly obedient and worthy to
receive his coming unusual anointing! Indeed, God will even be saving
people you know as you are calling in your pledge to TBN. Great signs and
wonders are anticipated this coming year, and Benny even told Paul Crouch to
expect that there will be dead people raised this year! (R.
W. Schambach claimed to have raised a dead man on another later TBN
program, in addition to healing the blind, deaf, mute, and lame.) The
implication is that you will be bypassed by God and miss out on the
supernatural anointing to come if you are not totally obedient to God and call
in your pledge to TBN now!
* The death of Assad on
June 10th 2000 shows that Benny Hinn did not know what he was talking
about, and is further proof that he is a false prophet, if any more evidence
was needed.
Benny Hinn's
failed prophecy of a peace treaty with Syria's Hafez Al-Assad (Real
Audio - © April 2nd, 2000 by TBN) Note: this clip has been
edited for the sake of file size, and has several places where content has
been edited out. About a five second pause occurs at those points.
On the
25th of July, 2000
(Real Audio - © July 25th, 2000 by TBN) when peace talks
between Israel and the Palestinians broke down in Washington, Benny Hinn again
appeared on a TBN program and said, regarding the recent death of Hafez Al-Assad
and his failure to make peace with Israel, - "...it was God's plan for it
not to happen, really."
Perhaps God had not foreseen Assad's
death, or neglected to tell Benny about it, and maybe God had also misinformed
Benny about His alleged "coming move" that was merely weeks or a few
months away. That, or God does not talk to Benny Hinn, and Benny
invented the entire "move of God" thing in order to extract money from TBN
viewers. Which is more likely?
[NOTE: physical manifestations and
visions are two different things. A physical manifestation of Christ
would involve a literal in-the-flesh appearance, likely to be visible to
everyone, while a vision would be a private dream, seen only in the mind of
the beholder.]
Benny should have invited
the world press to witness such a great event! Millions would surely have
journeyed to Nairobi just to be present, but, can it be true? Will Jesus
really appear physically at any of Benny's Crusades?
The Testimony of
Scripture
Isa 8:20 To the law and to the
testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is
no light in them.
Mat 24:23
Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it
not.
Mat 24:24 For
there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great
signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive
the very elect.
Mat 24:25 Behold,
I have told you before.
Mat 24:26
Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not
forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
Mat 24:27 For as
the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so
shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Rest assured that Jesus will not
be visiting Benny Hinn's crusades in person, nor will he be physically
appearing at any other meetings, secret chambers or churches, since Benny Hinn
clearly contradicts scripture.
Here is an audio clip
29mar2000-clip1 (Real Audio - © 2000 by Benny Hinn Ministries)
from the "This Is Your Day" program of March 29th, 2000, when Benny apparently
first announced that Jesus would appear at his meetings. This occurred about
10 minutes into the program. Here is a transcript of the clip:
"FIRE ... FIRE
... FIRE"
Notably, Benny in the March 29th
program showed a video clip of a Toronto Canada crusade where he was
slaying young people in the spirit saying "FIRE, FIRE, FIRE, ... put
FIRE on these kids ... He's being electrocuted by God's power ... Fire
on you ... I never thought I would see this in Canada, ... FIRE, FIRE, FIRE."
The stage was nearly full of young people who had fallen down and were
incapacitated under the alleged imparting of the Holy Spirit. There is no
scriptural precedent for "slaying in the spirit". In fact, it is contrary
to the scriptural nature of the Holy Spirit to knock down or incapacitate
people, even briefly. Acts chapter 2, which describes the great initial
outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, doesn't have the slightest hint of
anyone being "slain in the spirit." The baptism of fire (Matt 3:11, Luke 3:16)
was a visible tongue of fire above the head (Acts 2:3) and not an
incapacitating "electrocution." Slaying in the Spirit is simply unbiblical,
and should be considered a counterfeit!
Signs and wonders may be happening
at Benn Hinn crusades, but according to scripture, there can be false and
misleading miracles, designed to deceive if possible even the very elect of
God:
False Prophets Work
Miracles That Deceive!

Jan Crouch

report on Benny Hinn's Nairobi Crusade on TBN's
"Behind the Scenes" Image © 2000 by TBN |
Rev 13:13 And he doeth great
wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the
sight of men, (See update below)
Rev 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of
those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast;
saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to
the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Rev 16:14 For they are the spirits
of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and
of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God
Almighty.
Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken,
and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which
he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that
worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning
with brimstone.
So by what means will the elect of
God avoid being deceived by false signs, wonders, and miracles? When the
government teaches people how to spot counterfeit money, it is not the fake
that they study intently, it is the genuine article. When you know the
genuine, the fake is then very easy to spot. The only way to spot the false
prophets, false signs and wonders, and false miracles, is to be so familiar
with the word of God, the Bible, that only the genuine will be accepted, and
the counterfeit easily discerned.
Simony

April 2nd, 2000 - TBN
Praise-a-thon
"And Paul, while you were
speaking, the Lord spoke to me, and I have to obey Him. He said, tell
Paul - Thank you Lord for this. You know I have been praying about a,
something I have asked the Lord for when it comes to the anointing. And
the Lord said, you tell Paul, that in the - in the next few months, and
I'll - I'll do this in - no more than six months, I will sow $150,000
dollars, into TBN - no I have to - I have to obey the Lord, because the
Lord wants to bring something to me in our ministry. You see the ground
here is very anointed right now. So Lord, I am doing it now. I am
sowing Master, and I am expecting this miracle too Lord. But Lord I am
proving myself worthy again of your trust. Lord we know its not
the money. We know its our hearts and its our obedience to you when you
speak to us. To you be praise Jesus [Benny briefly speaks in tongues]
Now some of you, at home, need to do the same."
—Benny Hinn
|
Benny Hinn, desiring a gift from the
Holy Spirit (the anointing), represents God as commanding him to give a large
sum of money to TBN in order to receive his requested spiritual gift. This
suggests that God sells spiritual gifts for a price. Scripture deals
explicitly with this situation, and it has been called Simony ever since it
was first attempted by Simon the sorcerer:
Acts 8:14 Now when the apostles
which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God,
they sent unto them Peter and John:
Acts 8:15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might
receive the Holy Ghost:
Acts 8:16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were
baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
Acts 8:17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy
Ghost.
Acts 8:18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands
the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
Acts 8:19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands,
he may receive the Holy Ghost.
Acts 8:20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou
hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
Acts 8:21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is
not right in the sight of God.
Acts 8:22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps
the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
Acts 8:23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the
bond of iniquity.
Necromancy
On the 4th and 5th of May 2000,
Benny Hinn had as a guest, Dr. D. G. S. Dhinakaran of
Jesus Calls ministry in
India, who claims to have been to heaven and back multiple times. While in
heaven, he claims to have spoken with Jesus, God the Father, and the apostles
Peter and Paul. He described the apostle Paul as a short man, and his spirit
soul in heaven still bears the marks of his trials and tribulations while on
this earth. The soul in heaven, according to Dr. Dhinakaran, retains the
outward appearance of the earthly physical body, which he says, is why Moses
could be recognized by the apostles at the transfiguration (Matt. 17:3, Mark
9:4, Luke 9:30).
Again, knowing what scripture
teaches about the state of the dead, it becomes clear that Dr. Dhinakaran's
visits to heaven are either concocted, or delusional deceptions, because he
could not possibly have spoken to the disembodied souls of Peter and Paul. In
fact, he is basically repeating Satan's first lie in the garden of Eden to
Eve, see
What really happens when
you Die? Moses was not at the transfiguration as a bodyless
soul, he had been resurrected (Jude 9), and was as much present in the flesh
at the transfiguration as Elijah and Jesus, but Peter and Paul are both still
dead, asleep in the grave, awaiting their resurrection at the second
coming. Claiming to have contacted the dead (Peter and Paul), is actually
necromancy, and is forbidden as an abomination by God:
Deu 18:10 There shall not be found
among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the
fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or
a witch,
Deu 18:11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard,
or a necromancer.
Deu 18:12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and
because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from
before thee.
The state of the dead is a
crucial point to understand as we near the end of time, because it allows
one to discern the truth and exposes the deceptions of false prophets and
deceiving spirits.
NEWS FROM NAIROBI
Benny Hinn - A False
Prophet!
"I have never seen
so much money in my life"
"We counted the money for two
days... I have never seen so much money in my life," says Charles Babbler,
who hosted the Benny Hinn miracle crusade in April, attended by an estimated
1.2 million faithful. -
Daily Mail
& Guardian, Johannesburg, South Africa, June 7th, 2000.
2 Pet 2:1 But there were false
prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among
you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord
that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2 Pet 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the
way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
2 Pet 2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make
merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not,
and their damnation slumbereth not.
Benny Hinn was the guest on the May
9th Behind the Scenes program of TBN with Jan Crouch, and video from
his Nairobi Crusade was shown, but there was not even the slightest mention of
Jesus physically appearing, and neither did Benny Hinn explain why the widely
prophesied appearance had not happened.
The point needs to made that Benny
Hinn is a false prophet, not just because Jesus failed to appear in Nairobi,
but because scripture in advance warned us not to believe a word of
what he was saying. Should some supernatural being appear at a future Benny
Hinn crusade, it will not be Jesus, no matter how impressive, and no
matter what "miracles" are done in the name of Jesus. Again, we have been
warned by Jesus Himself in scripture:
Mat 24:23
Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe
it not.
Mat 24:24 For
there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great
signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive
the very elect.
Mat 24:25 Behold,
I have told you before.
Mat 24:26
Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not
forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
Mat 24:27 For as
the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so
shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Isa 8:20 To the law and to the
testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there
is no light in them.
False Prophets
call down false fire from Heaven.
A little over a minute and a half
into the May 24th / June 8th, 2000, "This is your day" program, Benny
Hinn claimed that "fire is falling down from heaven."

Elijah. We are in the days of Elijah! Fire is falling down from

those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast;
saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to

On his
June 7th, 2000,
"This is your day" program (Real Video - © 2000 Benny Hinn Ministries), taped
in Nairobi Kenya, Benny Hinn made the following pronouncement, beginning19
minutes into the program:
|
June 7th, 2000 - This Is
Your Day
"Today, I do not say, as the old covenant
prophets used to say, "Thus saith the Lord". For thousands of years
prophets would say "Thus saith the Lord", and only when they'd say it,
the power of God would fall. But this man [Jesus] didn't say "Thus saith
the Lord", He just said "I say". He looked at the storm and said "Peace
be still". It obeyed Him. He looked at death and said GO! and it fled.
He looked at demons and said GO! and they fled. He looked at disease and
said GO! and it fled. He never once said "Thus saith the Lord." He just
said "I say". Now, here is the amazing thing. He came to the twelve and
He went (blow, blow, blow, blow), on all of them, and said "Go in my
name." Ladies and gentlemen, you haven't heard me say "Thus saith the
Lord", have you? You haven't heard me say "I say", have you? No you know
what we say? We don't say "Thus saith the Lord, we don't say "I say", we
say I say in the name of Jesus! I say in the name of Jesus! In the
name of Jesus! In the name of [crowd] Jesus! [Benny Hinn] The
prophets of old said "Thus saith the Lord". Jesus, for thirty years
said, "Verily I say unto you". Ever since the resurrection there's been
men and women all over this earth, there's been prophets, there's been
preachers, there's been evangelists, there's been believers like
yourselves who simply stretch the hand and say "I say in the name of
Jesus". "I say in the name of Jesus". "I say, in the name [crowd]
of Lord Jesus". [Benny Hinn] My brother, when Jesus said "I say" disease
fled, demons fled, darkness fled, bondage fled, death fled. And
when we say "I say in His name", its the same, because when we say
"in His name" He is saying it, when we say "in His name", He is doing
it!"
—Benny Hinn

Well, Benny Hinn has prophesied the
imminent physical appearance of Jesus (before the actual second coming) in
Jesus name, but this clearly contradicts scripture. Merely invoking the
name of Jesus does not mean that Jesus will respond to the will of
Benny Hinn, or that Jesus is working miracles through Benny Hinn. Featured in
the May 24th / June 8th, 2000 program is a clip from the Nairobi Crusade where
Benny claims to cast out 13 devils from a Hindu woman. Does this prove Benny
Hinn is a man of God? No, it does not!

 |
Mat 7:22
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in
thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done
many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I
never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. |

crusade where Benny Hinn casts the fire of the Spirit on portions of
the audience, and many are "slain", falling in large groups.
False Prophet Goes
Forth to the Kings of the Earth!
Benny Hinn gave a crusade in Port
Moresby, Papua New Guinea, on April 30-May 1st, 1999 at the invitation of
Prime Minister Bill Skate. - Religion Today News Summary of Thursday, May 6,
1999
On the April 21st, 2000 "This is
your day" program, Benny Hinn stated that the President of Kenya "would be
on the platform", and that "his government was backing up the whole crusade."
(See 24 1/2 minutes into the program.)
On the June 12th, 2000 "This is
your day" program, Benny Hinn announces that the government of China has
given its approval for the "This is your day" program to be aired daily in
China, without restrictions, beginning as soon as July 3rd, 2000. China's
government has also approved a crusade to be held there by October, and a
personal meeting with the Premier of China will be arranged!
Rev 16:13 And I saw three
unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and
out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false
prophet.
Rev 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which
go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to
gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
Benny Hinn gives every appearance of
being a False Prophet by scriptural standards, and not a man of God!
Is The Second
Coming Imminent?
TBN's LAST Tel-A-Thon?
Benny Hinn was the guest
preacher on Trinity Broadcasting's fall 2000 Praise-A-Thon on the evening of
Tuesday, November 7th. He claimed that God clearly and audibly spoke to him in
a vision on the previous Saturday, while under a "fearful anointing" at First
Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania:
The Last Tel-A-Thon
(Real Audio - © 2000 by TBN)
|
November 7th -
TBN's Fall 2000 Praise-A-Thon
STOP what you
are doing and hear this! The Lord said to me last Saturday, I heard His
voice in that church, and He said, "Tell them, time is running out", and
His voice was coming in waves in into my heart. "Time is running" and
then there was a second voice. Now hear this one.
...
"Tell the people, I
am passing by many" Hear this - "I am passing by many and if I pass by
it would be as though I never knew them. I am passing by many
and if I pass by it would be as though I never knew them." My
friend we're all being tested right now on whether we are gonna stick
with this or walk away from it. Tonight is decision night. It
is not only decision night for America, for the next four years,
this is decision night for eternity. What you do for God tonight,
you do it with your soul, you do it with your life. This is not,
my friend, just another Tel-A-Thon. This is - this may very well
be the last one. Time is so short people, I'm tellin' ya, never
have I sensed it - I am telling you I am speaking to you prophetically.
—Benny Hinn

A little later in the same program,
Benny said the following:
God Is Passing By
Many (Real Audio - © 2000 by TBN)
|
November 7th -
TBN's Fall 2000 Praise-A-Thon
The Lord said to me
audibly, I heard it. People I don't often hear the Lord's voice
audibly, but I heard the Lord's voice audibly. He said "Tell them - time
is running out". Then I heard another voice, that I believe is the voice
of the Holy Spirit. He said "Tell the people", and the atmosphere
changed when that happened, He said "Tell the people, I am passing by
many, and once I pass by it would be as though I never knew them." In
other words, there's, its, its the last call. Do you remember what He
said in the scripture, when, when he said, the young virgins, that some
had the oil and some didn't have any? The five wise, the five foolish.
It, we are in it. We are in it. People, He is passing by many. Thank God
He is not passing you by.
—Benny Hinn
|
The message is clear. Give
to TBN now or God will pass you by, and you will be forever lost! It
will be as if God never knew you! Benny also claimed, on the same
program, that the Lord told him that December 12th will be a historic day in
the Kingdom of God!
Could it be true?
Well, just as true as Castro dying in the 90's. Just as
true as the homosexuals in America being destroyed by
fire by 1995! Just as true as Assad signing a peace
treaty with Israel. Just as true as Jesus
Christ appearing physically on the stage at Benny's Nairobi Crusade in
April of 2000! Which is to say, TBN will have more Tel-A-Thons, and
Benny Hinn will again beg for even more donations. But, you can
be saved without giving a single nickel to TBN. What we don't know, is
what gimmick Benny will use at the next TBN Tel-A-Thon, what alleged word from
God he will claim to have, in order to coerce money from the viewing audience.
Benny Hinn curses all
those who speak against his ministry (Windows media video- 350k).

"Yes, Lord, I 'll do it. I
place a curse on every man and every woman that will stretch his hand
against this anointing. I curse that man who dares to speak a word
against this ministry. "
