Few names in history have been as exploited and misused as the name of God.
True biblical prophecy is never concerned with mere prediction for its own sake.

Prophets were not fortune-tellers, and Jehovah God did not communicate through them to sow fear or inflate their personal prestige.
When God spoke through His messengers, even when warnings were dire, there was always moral, redemptive, and practical guidance.
The message of true prophecy was aimed at correcting behavior, calling people to repentance, restoring relationship with God, revealing divine truth, and often providing guidance on how to avert or mitigate impending disaster.
For instance, during the drought in Egypt, God’s word through Joseph did not stop at warning of famine—it provided a practical solution: storing grain during the years of plenty to preserve lives.
Similarly, in the story of Noah, the warning of an impending flood came with explicit instructions to build the ark, ensuring salvation for those who acted in obedience.
Biblical warnings are therefore never purely predictive; they are meant to empower people to act rightly and responsibly.
The classical prophets further illustrate this standard.
When Jeremiah announced disaster for Jerusalem, when Amos warned Israel of coming judgment, or when Isaiah proclaimed the consequences of injustice and idolatry, the people were given a moral framework.
Even when disaster was unavoidable, the underlying reason—repeated disobedience, injustice, and covenant violations—was clear, and the opportunity for response had been provided.
Biblical prophecy always combines warning with clarity, moral accountability, and, when possible, a path for corrective action.
In stark contrast, Uebert Angel’s recent broadcast-style pronouncement about COVID provides none of this.
It offers no moral imperative, no call to change, and no guidance on how to act rightly in the face of danger.
The audience is urged to attend a broadcast or risk missing crucial insight, with threats of “recognizing the pattern too late.”
Fear, theatrical timing, and scarcity of access replace moral instruction and practical guidance.
Biblical prophecy does not operate in this manner.
The prophets did not control attention through fear, nor did they elevate their own status as the lens through which Jehovah’s word must pass.
In Scripture, God’s word stands on its authority alone.
The language used in this modern warning is itself deeply troubling.
Phrases such as “at your own risk” and “God’s foremost prophet” are not expressions of humility or obedience; they are tools of coercion and psychological pressure.
Prophecy in the Bible is never about aggrandizing the messenger; it is about conveying God’s will with integrity and faithfulness.
By contrast, Uebert Angel’s messaging centers on the prophet, the timing of the broadcast, and the fear of missing out, rather than God’s redemptive purpose or the public’s moral responsibility.
Further undermining credibility, the message simultaneously claims it is “not a prediction” while asserting that COVID will return.
Biblical prophecy is accountable.
When a prophet delivers God’s word, there is a clear statement, clarity of content, and verifiable outcome, as Deuteronomy 18 explicitly warns.
A genuine prophet does not hedge or confuse the audience; they convey the divine message with precision, and the results are testable and accountable.
Perhaps the most glaring difference lies in the absence of moral, redemptive, and practical purpose.
COVID, or any global crisis, may be real, but God’s concern has always been for human hearts, conduct, and relationships.
Even in plagues or disasters, Scripture emphasizes ethical and spiritual lessons: care for the vulnerable, justice for the oppressed, humility before God, and repentance from wrongdoing.
Fear, inevitability, and passive observation were never the intended fruit of divine revelation.
Uebert Angel’s broadcast offers none of this.
Instead, it amplifies fear, encourages dependence on the prophet’s insight, and removes the audience’s agency.
The result is manipulation, not guidance.
Even should his warnings be proven accurate, it would only reveal a form of fortune-telling, reliant on powers known to him alone, rather than the authoritative, morally guided voice of Jehovah.
Context is equally important.
The biblical test of a prophet includes character, fruit, and accountability.
Self-styled prophets with unresolved ethical questions, self-aggrandizing titles, monetized “warnings,” and heavy branding fail this test.
Their warnings are not rooted in covenantal authority, nor are they designed to restore people to God, correct moral failure, or provide actionable guidance.
The language of prophecy may be mimicked, but the substance—the hallmark of God’s voice—is absent.
The fruits of fear, control, and spectacle are unmistakable.
The biblical standard is clear: God does not speak to people merely to announce events, to sow panic, or to elevate a messenger.
True prophecy is meant to awaken conscience, correct behavior, provide practical guidance, and lead to reconciliation with God.
Warnings are always tied to moral reality, practical direction, and the possibility of righteous response.
Anything divorced from these responsibilities is, by definition, not of God.
As followers of Christ and responsible observers, we must cultivate discernment.
The allure of dramatic announcements and fear-driven messaging is strong, especially in times of global uncertainty.
Yet the test is simple: does the message call people to moral accountability?
Does it point toward God rather than the messenger?
Does it inspire righteous action, faith, and practical steps rather than dependence on fear?
If the answer is no, we are not hearing God; we are witnessing performance masquerading as prophecy.
In conclusion, Uebert Angel’s recent broadcast warning of COVID’s return fails every biblical test of genuine prophecy.
It manipulates fear, elevates the messenger, and offers no moral guidance, practical solution, or redemptive purpose.
Biblical prophecy is never a vehicle for self-promotion, theatrical timing, or marketable panic.
Those who claim God has spoken in this manner are deceiving themselves and others.
The voice of God is unmistakable in its call to justice, humility, and moral responsibility.
Anything less is merely human spectacle dressed in the language of the divine.
The public must learn to discern, separate the fruit from the flashy performance, and understand that God’s word builds righteousness, not fear.
