Intro

In this episode of Remnant Radio, we debunk the“prophetic words” from Jeremiah Johnson. Joined by guest co-host JonMark Baker with the Minor Prophets Podcast and Michael Miller, we clarify up front that this is not a cessationist critique—everyone on the panel affirms and practices continuationist gifts, including prophecy. Our aim is to model biblical “testing and weighing” (1 Cor. 14:29; 1 Thess. 5:19–22) for the health of the church.

We walk through multiple clips from Johnson’s “2025” prophecy, assessing whether the claims are genuinely prophetic, testable, and rooted in sound exegesis—or whether they function as “words of obvious,” built from current events and broadly plausible predictions. We also address methodological red flags, including numerology-style reasoning, vague claims that cannot be meaningfully verified, and the way certain segments appear to preempt criticism by framing accusations as “Leviathan” twisting words. Along the way, we discuss the importance of judging not only the content of a prophetic word but also the prophet’s credibility and fruit, especially when public prophecy has a track record of harm, manipulation, or failed predictions.
