Its like this, they dont beleive his prophecies failed.They get a prophecy from "Jesus" that clears up the mis understandings and mis interpretations.
So God , in His prophecies wasnt being deep, He just wasnt being clear enough!
someone interpreted a failed prophecy as if it was to be taken literally, and the literal prophecies were taken figuratively, so they are left in confusion and dissilusion about what prophecy was saying what. Like the Kohotek predictons. First Berg said he didnt predict it,and it wasnt a prophecy, then he said the message "The Lord gave"
was the tale of the comet, and interpreted it as the tail of the comet was hairy so that symbolized
the hair of the hippie Children of God going around the world with the words of David, and stuck the verse on it about the sign of Jonas.
Niniveh repented, so that had to mean America repented, but Berg kept blasting America and the Jews, so things got really confusing.
He also predicted Chernenko would be chosen as the next Soviet president after Breznev died, and he was not.
We never heard anything about that one.
But there is a site,James Japan, that glorifies Bergs predictions and says the Magic Green Shirt will be fulfilled in the MIllenium with Ricky and Angela.
Boy, I just dont know how they can keep such beleifs when they are so inconsistant and out of harmony with reality, and obviously false.
