THRONE ROOM CLARITY AND PROPHETIC ACCURACY

“And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine [sardis] stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.”

—REVELATION 4:3

In this chapter we will delve further into the question of whether or not genuine prophets can ever miss it, or must they always be 100 percent accurate? This is one of the largest misconceptions surrounding the prophetic. As we mentioned, people commonly believe that a prophet or anyone who prophesies can never make a mistake. Many also believe that if anyone does miss it or prophesies something that doesn’t come to pass, they are automatically a false prophet. This is commonly seen across social media platforms where people comment and label various prophetic vessels as false prophets. They do this either because a prophetic word didn’t come to pass, or perhaps they wrongly assumed it didn’t come to pass and they conclude that the one who spoke is false.

I will begin by saying that the term false, when it comes to the prophetic, is tossed around far too loosely. How do we know? Because this term isn’t used so quickly when it comes to pastors or teachers who also make honest mistakes in what they communicate. But when it comes to prophets, the term “false” is often used with ease. The truth is, no honest person with good intentions wants to hear their name attached to the word false! The word carries such a tremendous indictment against one’s integrity, and this needs to be addressed if we are going to function properly in prophetic ministry.

In this chapter I want to give plenty of biblical examples for why we should be careful not to label something as false too quickly. Sure, some of the sloppy practices in prophetic circles have not helped. Some individuals want to be recognized so badly in prophetic ministry that they almost say or prophesy just about anything. This becomes very confusing and misleading to listeners as a whole host of contradictory “prophetic” messages get presented. People wonder who and what to believe. Therefore, as we look at biblical examples of prophets who misspoke or whose prophetic words didn’t happen exactly as they said, this is not to imply we don’t need a very high standard for accuracy. Accuracy should still be paramount, but just because someone misses it does not mean they are false. They might be wrong, but not false. We also want to learn how to differentiate between honest and good-hearted prophets, who may be wrong at times, and false prophets, who are intentionally deceptive.

JASPER, SARDIS, AND EMERALD

Before we seek to answer those questions, let’s look again at what happened with the apostle John during his heavenly experience. In Revelation 4, he mentions the jasper and sardis stones and the rainbow around the Throne that looked like an emerald. “A jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald” (Rev.
