nThe Bible does not make much provision for true prophecy that doesnÕt come
true.
nDeut 18 indicates failed prophecy is a mark of false prophets.
nThis is characteristic of biblical teaching elsewhere: 1 Kings 22, Isaiah 42-46,
Jeremiah 28.
nThe book of Jonah does allow that a disaster prophecy might be postponed if the
people repent.
nPresumably the same might happen with a prophecy of blessing if the recipients
became arrogant.
