Just an observation here. Why would God turn back the clock and give us time to prepare when we already have a life time to prepare?

Is God saying through this Prophet that we cannot prepare with the present lifetime we already have established?

It seems like a contradiction here, its like Gods going to give us another 10 minutes of time to get ready. The scriptures state the bride was ready and that the ten wise virgins were prepared it was the 10 foolish virgins who did not prepare. Either were ready and prepared when the Lord returns or were not.

Anyway I just wondered why would God need to give us more time if were not taking advantage of the time we have already been given?

I would think that it would be due to His Mercy and Grace. He did it time after time with Israel, not turning back 'the clock' specifically, but extending them additional chances to 'get it right'...in showing their love for Him in worship and obedience. He changed His mind after Moses interceded for them in the wilderness; He changed His mind concerning destroying Ninevah; He gave Hezekiah 15 additional years to live...in His mercy and grace.

Based on the lack of unity within Christianity as to purpose and function of The Body of Christ I can easily see where God could decide to delay The Lords' return.

As to whether or not this was a prophecy from The Lord or not, I don't really have an opinion since I didn't hear or know this person. But there are Biblical examples that reveal God's heart in allowing second chances for people to change, grow, repent, obey, and get right with Him.

“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,”
