Wang Fue false “SDA” prophet in Thailand

Wang Fue is the name of a man in northern Thailand who says he has had visions from God for the last 7 years. I believe him to be a false prophet, but since some of my close friends believe him to be a true prophet, i write this post.

According to what has been told me, he was an ordinary farmer. He wanted a deep experience with God, and something happened and he was in a rice field for days, about to die, when God gave him a vision. Even tho he is basically an illiterate farmer, he started writing out what he received from God. He started writing things about biocips being connected to the Mark of the Beast, some of the personal sins of the leaders of the Thailand Adventist Mission, and other things that it would seem to be impossible for him to normally know. Up to this point everything sounds to me too, like he is a true prophet except that i have now found out that he used to be not just an idol worshipper, but an actual sorcerer, being used directly by the devil. This raises a big yellow flag, as i can found no one in the Bible who after being demon-possessed, later became a prophet. Yes, i know the demon-possessed man whose devils went into the pigs later became an evangelist for Jesus, but he did not become a prophet who is directly speaking for God himself.

But this man predicted a huge flood in Thailand that would occur in 2006, one that would submerge half the country after large earthquakes. Well, over 300 people gathered for year-end meetings that year to see it happen. When of course it didn’t happen, over half of the group fell away from the Seventh-day Adventist faith altogether. I heard of a few others who tried to show how “global warming” really did cause floods around the world in 2006, but even they have now rejected this prophecy as false, and have left this false prophet.

But there is still a group of people who believe this man to be a true prophet even after all this. Wang Fue explains that even he didn’t realize the true meaning of the 2006 flood prediction, the true meaning being that there would be “political” earthquakes and floods in the year 2006. Very convenient.

Now i enter the picture when i ask my friend if i can come to Thailand to do the 1858 Great Controversy animation, and help start a homeschool. She asks Wang Fue, and on the very day i arrive in Thailand the answer comes from him: “We are so near the end, that we should not do either project”. Now i can understand if the animation project is out, but to tell people not to start little schools to train up children in the Lord? This is not what any true prophet does.

He is also predicting, according to his dream of 3 cows, that three years of famine will start this year, so we should stock up on rice and cooking oil. This again is against what God had Ellen White write about not stocking up food for the Time of Trouble. He says that this famine will continue until Jesus comes. He is also saying that it is not good to have baptisms or the Lord’s Supper on the Sabbath, as the Sabbath is supposed to be a day of rest. This can be easily disproved by looking at the Spirit of Prophecy, but really, it just goes against common sense too. The Sabbath is to be a “high day” to be with Jesus, and what could be higher than baptisms or the Communion service? Some of the followers have been so diswrought about their being baptized on the Sabbath, that they have asked Wang Fue if they need to be rebaptized. He has told them “no”.

Last Day Events by Ellen G. White review

Last Day Events by Ellen G. White
C

This book is a compilation of writings from Ellen White, and i think was first published in 1992.

How can i possibly give a book attributed to Ellen White anything less than a “A+” mark? Because this book highlights at least two of the problems of compilations – they often are (as this one is) trying to make certain points, and secondly, they are self-contradictory.

The book is laid out quite well, first showing how we are approaching the end of the world, then talking about how God’s people should be living in this preparation time, and how they should get out of the cities, then the events leading up to the coming of Jesus.

The order of the chapters too is mostly chronological, according to last day events as they will occur, but having a separate chapter for “The Latter Rain”, and then “The Loud Cry” makes one think that these are two separate events, while they are actually one and the same thing, the two names being used to show different aspects of the same event.

What are the self-contradictory parts? Where it talks about no one knowing when probation has closed in one place, and then talking about how the saints will not even be able to pray for the lost after probation has closed is one example, another is where it is said that no one will need to rest in heaven, yet in another place it says that we will sleep, and perhaps the worst is where it talks about how the coming of Jesus will be like a thief in the nite with no one knowing about it, while on the other hand it talks about the terrible earthquakes and floods and famines and of course 7 plagues that precede his coming.
