     It was an awesome responsibility, but Reclaim News
    chose not to warn its readers about prophecies of impending disaster in our
    possession from which many of you could have been saved. 
    Your very life was in our hands. 
    We took a calculated risk that if you had lost your life you
    wouldn’t have known that we could have warned you. 
    Reclaim News received these prophecies for 
    May 7, 2003
    , on 
    February 10, 2003
    but didn’t send them out until they were a week past their due date. 
    Sorry about that.  Now we
    have to throw them out with the sour milk. 
    If these prophecies had been sent out with sufficient
    warning, we could have all worried and ruminated about them. 
    The Charismatic movement has been a plague on the LCMS
    for the past 35 years.  It is the
    voodoo fringe of Lutheranism.  Hundreds
    of “Renewal in 
    
    Missouri
    
    ” (RIM) pastors haunt the pages of the Lutheran Annual. 
    They justify any wacko-ism as a gift from the Holy Spirit and turn
    the Bible into a fortuneteller’s manual. 
    RIM supports President Kieschnick. 
    Is there anything more useless than yesterday’s
    outdated prophecies?  In the Old
    Testament false prophets would have been stoned. 
    The writer of the following prophecies wants to carry
    on a dialogue with me.  However,
    he may need help from a different kind of professional. 
    There is little doubt that he will recover from this seeming error
    and claim he prayed that God would change His plans and God indeed answered
    his prayer.

    Dear Pastor,
    
     
    I was raised in the LCMS and left in 1973 after
    attending 
    
    Concordia
    
    College
    
    for one year. 
    I was part of the charismatic movement in the LCMS and
    have since been involved in ministry as a Pentecostal clergyman. 
    I would like for you to file away this e-mail for
    future reference.  I understand
    that you are probably somewhat opposed to the current charismatic movement
    in the LCMS. I would like to share with you the following prophecies so that
    you can be a witness to their validity as they come to pass. When they come
    to pass it will not put God's stamp of approval on all things charismatic,
    but it will give you more information concerning what the Holy Spirit is
    doing inside and outside of the LCMS today. 
    I am still a consubstantiationist as are many
    Pentecostals. I write to you not in opposition to the LCMS but as a brother
    who would simply like to share the following with a non-charismatic LCMS
    pastor. 
    Please judge this on the basis of biblical guidelines
    for prophecy. 
    Your time spent in reading this should be less than ten
    minutes. 
    Thank you for your time, your comments, and your
    devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ.

    recently)

    “Dear Saints, 
    My name is Chuck Hinson and I am an associate minister
    at Tabernacle of David Church in 
    
    Louisville
    , 
    Ky.
    
    Over the last eight months I have been busy in getting out a word of warning
    concerning an impending earth quake in the mid Mississippi river valley. 
    The same earthquake has been prophesied about by other
    ministers.  God gave me three
    other prophecies concerning the death of Saddam Hussein, Colin Powell's
    removal from the Bush Cabinent, and the future launch of Rush Limbaugh into
    the ministry.  All of this is
    stated below. There are hundreds of people now aware of these prophecies,
    including some national prophetic ministries, and they are tracking them. I
    ask you to do the same. 
    
     
     
    PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING AND WATCH THE NEWS! 
    (The following is a post from another forum in
    December). 
    In June of 2001 I was working in southeast 
    
    Missouri
    
    for my pastor's land survey business, setting points for potential cell
    phone tower locations. While I was there I was strongly impressed that there
    was going to be an earthquake on the New Madrid fault in 2003. 
    Since that time I have sought the Lord and finally came
    to the conclusion that it indeed was the Holy Spirit talking to me about a
    massive quake happening in the "bootheel" of 
    
    Missouri
    
    on 
    May 7, 2003
    . I have written a book about this prophecy and there have been copies sent
    to many states.
     
    In the last two weeks I have come across two other
    ministers who have publicly prophesied that next year there will be a
    massive earthquake or shaking happening in the 
    
    United States
    
    . One of the brothers talked with me on the telephone comparing notes. We
    both have the same location and approximate size. I am not writing this as a
    commercial for my book.  I was
    sending it out free anyway. I just thought that now that the book is out
    this would be a good place to get the word out concerning this coming
    calamity. 
    The Lord gave me three other prophecies having to do
    with Sadaam Hussein, Colin Powell, and Rush Limbaugh. These prophecies are
    explained in my book as confirmation for believing the 
    May 7,2003
    earthquake prophecy. 
    Here are the four prophecies as written in my book:
     
    
     
     
    PROPHECY A: THE NEW 
    
    MADRID
    
    EARTHQUAKE OF 
    MAY 7, 2003
     
    The Prophecy: 
    On 
    Wednesday May 7,2003
    there will be a massive earthquake on the New Madrid fault in the area of
    southeast 
    
    Missouri
    
    . This is an area known as the "bootheel". The quake will register
    approximately 8.8 on the Richter scale. 
    The epicenter of the quake will be near 
    
    Portageville
    , 
    Missouri
    
    . The following areas of the 
    
    United States
    
    will be especially directly affected by this quake: 
    The extreme southern tip of Illinois near Cairo and
    Mound City; The western counties of Kentucky beyond Land Between the Lakes;
    The northeast counties of Arkansas along the Mississippi River; The
    northwest corner of Tennessee along the Mississippi River; Southeast
    Missouri including the "bootheel" and areas close by. 
    The worse potential damage will be within a radius of
    60-65 miles of the epicenter. 
    
    Paducah
    
    Kentucky
    
    is on the edge of this radius. We here in 
    
    Louisville
    
    may feel the quake but we will not be in an area of heavy damage. The wisdom
    of God is to prepare prayerfully for this day. If I lived in the areas close
    to the projected epicenter, I would at least pray over my belongings, turn
    off the gas to my home, and get away from the quake area before the day of
    the quake. This quake will make 9-11 seem small in comparison and will bring
    a change in the mentality of Americans. People will become more concerned
    about earthquakes than terrorism. False prophets will arise to confuse, but
    the true prophets of god will rebuke and refute the error of those who
    prophesy in a spirit of error. 
    
     
     
    PROPHECY B: THE DEATH OF SADDAM HUSSEIN: ONE OF
    THREE CONFIRMING PROPHECIES 
    The Prophecy: 
    Sadaam Hussein will be killed by the Iraqi people. His
    body will be hung in the street even as the Italians did to Mussolini during
    World War II.
     
    
     
     
    PROPHECY C: THE COMING SHAKEUP IN PRESIDENT BUSH’S
    CABINET 
    The Prophecy: 
    Colin Powell will soon no longer be Secretary of State. 
    He will be replaced by Donald Rumsfeld. 
    Sam Nunn of 
    
    Georgia
    
    will become the new Secretary of Defense. American forces will attack
    terrorists on the borders of 
    
    Israel
    
    . 
    
     
     
    PROPHECY D: RUSH LIMBAUGH CALLED TO MINISTRY 
    The Prophecy: 
    Rush Limbaugh will soon quit his radio program due to a
    reoccurrence of his hearing problems. He will quit because he is unable to
    speak on air in a manner up to his own high standards. Later he will claim
    that he has been miraculously healed by God and go into the ministry. He
    will become one of 
    
    America
    
    's most sought after Christian speakers. 
    As I said, the last three prophecies beginning to come
    to pass will point to the validity of the earthquake prophecy. I am a
    Pentecostal minister raised in the Lutheran Church/Missouri Synod. Jesus is
    Who the Bible says He is and I am simply one of His many imperfect
    messengers. I sensed that the Lord wanted me to share this word of warning
    with you.”
