There are a few people these days online claiming they have seen JESUS. They may all be telling the truth, and they may all be lying. Some may be truthful, and others could be false prophets sent to test us. The only way of knowing is to get your knowledge directly from GOD. We need to pray about each claim.
The only person I know of who fits the defintion of a true prophet is Rob Smith. Why? Because he is the only one begging for people to repent and warning them about what will happen if they do not.
Rob fits the model found in the Book of Mormon. Abinadi did not flatter King Noah or change his message when his life was threatened. Nephi was more worried about Laman and Lemuel's salvation than their feelings. Jacob called the Nephites on their plural marriage delusion. Alma had to teach failed missionary Corianton the gospel and send him back out to try again. Lehi got the whole book started by preaching repentance to Jerusalem, and then having to leave town to preserve his life.
None of them amass wealth by stealing their cut of sincere people's donations. None ask for Hosanna shouts instead of changing your life to align with GOD's will. None cry "peace" or tell you that all is well. All true messengers deliver the truth, and that is always centered around repentance.
Check out Rob's blog listed in the title. He has some profound things to say about the end times.
If you pray about him, and you think he is a prophet too, you may want to move from the I-15 corridor ASAP. I am assuming that corridor runs from self-righteous Rexburg down to the second homes of the wealthy Mormons in St. George. It may even extend as far as Las Vegas, since Sin City has its own temple.
I am not a prophet, but I know one when I see one.
