2Pe 2:5 KJV And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
Works for me.

Indeed ... but we preach it as if he was preaching Last Days Crusades.
Why would we think he wasn't?

I think it's just another case of us being careful not to translate silent scripture.

I know that Perry Stone says God showed him 5 terrorist acts to happen in the SE of America. He won't name the cities, but he names the area. Does that count?
If someone claims that God told him that '5 terrorist acts to happen in SE America' I would expect addresses and types.
Yes its true. The Almighty has not forgotten what goes on in this world. Just of late several things have happened we should have took note of. The California lawmakers have shoved legislation through to bless the preaching of Sodom in their schools.
A little while back also San Diego forced their firefighters to take part in a wicked gay pride day celebration at the risk of being fired.
Californication is/was whatever its current state a wicked statement about this State. Sorry friends I know many may be indignant about this but have you forgotten the example of Sodom?
What RAINED DOWN ON SODOM?
WHO SENT IT?
Preach judgement and pray for mercy.
I think that the USA still has room in God's heart for a turnaround and blessing of mercy....
Without the Mercy of God touching anyone of us.
1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th generation we could be lost as well...
I hear what you are saying. But what he said at the beginning of the year was it would happen all over America. There have been many things that have happened all over America. Although I truly believe he expected more "terriorist" type "things" as well as natural calamities.

Not buying what they are selling. sorry.
Give me names/places/dates or dont claim "God told you"
Im not saying that God does not from time to time bring judgement on people. and from OT you see that those who get that judgement, generally dont believe it was God when it happened.
but for a person to bring forth a "thus sayeth the Lord" they better have every "I" dotted and every "T" crossed. and they better have the GPS coordanance.

Herald of RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Sounds to me like he did some speaking, as the word Preacher conveys that one is publicly proclaiming something. It would be a big stretch to say he only lived the life and never made a public profession of his faith.

No one is not saying he did not profess his faith ... he did so in many ways I'm sure ... but there is no evidence of the slant we've preached that he went around w/ a bullhorn preaching repentance ....
