Tom Deckard

{{judaism}}
'''Tom Deckard''' is a [[Messianic Judaism|messianic Jew]] who claims to be a [[prophet]].

==Who is he?==
His past is actually not well known, due to contradictory accounts, though he claimed divine revelation when an angel<ref>http://www.theedgeam.com/guests/pastguest14.htm</ref> and "anointed him a Prophet of God".<ref>https://galyuk.blogspot.com/2010/12/israel-come-home-jewish-prophet-tom.html</ref> <ref>www.blogtalkradio.com/beitephraim</ref>

Recently he has been claiming to be the Prophet Elijah<ref>http://insta7.com/youtube-vid-details.aspx?hr=&lr=&id=UDbzahCh26A&moviename=Destruction+of+America%3A+Prophecy+by+Tom+Deckard&auth=UCb1z_dddRT_Owdp8q4aH7uw</ref>, who himself was prophesized to lead to the end times.

==Track record==
All over many Christian themed sites there are ads about his perfect track record.<ref>[http://www.topix.com/forum/religion/end-times/T11AJDI4VHEV6JEOC a (badly formatted) example]</ref> His prophecies are ''very'' pessimistic, though generic, such as his 1994 prediction that America will be judged.<ref>http://www.covenantwarriors.org/blog/2014/07/03/tom-deckards-1995-vision-prophecy-of-america-judgment-and-destruction/</ref> He told Christians to leave America by the way. Apparently something bad will happen, and revolve around the end times.<ref>www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4vQTW9nOj4</ref>. You'll find plenty of videos with descriptions with these ads<ref>http://www.disclose.tv/forum/shocking-video-tom-deckard-the-controversial-prophet-t20446.html</ref><ref>Prophet Tom Deckard - YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwxPHtSQDks</ref>

Seriously, his copypasta is everywhere<ref>[https://forums.catholic.com/showthread.php?t=218195 get the point yet?</ref>. They're even on non Christian sites<ref>http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=119016</ref> 

==Is he a false prophet?==
Some Christians think so, some don't. These debates can go so far as to attract video responses of other videos on [[YouTube]].<ref>www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OxwR28ZmWk</ref>. When you search his name on Google, the entirety of the first page of results except for videos either call him a false prophet, or a scam/con, depending on whether the site is religious or not.

If you look hard enough, you'll find out that many<ref>www.prophettomdeckard.com</ref> sites <ref>www.freedomfromthelaw.com/</ref> that claim <ref>www.whoistomdeckard.com/</ref> he isn't the real deal. Considering [[Godlike Productions|The crazies]]<ref>www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message496401/pg4</ref> find him a  bit loopy, it would probably  be a good idea to listen, [[Stopped clock|for once]].

Note that debates about the authenticity of any prophet usually get pretty heated, and this guy is no exception<ref>http://bibleforums.org/archive/index.php/t-113982.html</ref>. It's got to the point discussions were closed, especially in multi-denominational forums<ref>https://www.christianforums.com/threads/what-is-your-opinion-of-messianic-jewish-prophet-tom-deckard.5850230/</ref>. 

There once was a Yahoo Group to help people who were misled by him.<ref>https://archive.ph/H2QDP</ref>

Still though, some particular Prophecies, his followers avidly defend, like a 2007 one, where he predicted The US would prevent Israel from attacking Iran.<ref>http://eczp.blogspot.com/2015/03/tom-deckard-prophecy-2007-us-thwarts.html</ref>
