Sandy Simpson in REPORTS/NWSLTR-351 gave links to order two video tapes, one by Joseph Chambers and the other by the Door's Ole Anthony that utilize clips from Benny Hinn's program. Both tapes and they both pack a punch. Ole's gives more detail but Chambers' focuses more on the recent changes in Hinn's demeanor.
An article in Foundation Magazine concerning Hinn (revelations) TBN platform. HINN SAYS TBN WILL BRING DEAD BACK TO LIFE . This is an actual quote from the article in the Jan-Feb 2000 issue, page 43.
" Charismatic evangelist Benny Hinn recently told Paul and Jan Crouch and audience of millions of viewers of Trinity Broadcasting Network's Praise the Lord television broadcast that God would use TBN to raise the dead in various parts of the world. Hinn claimed to have received a vision from God in which God told him that TBN programming was to serve as a representation of Heaven to all the earth and that God would even use TBN to bring those who died back to life. The following transcript details Hinn's exact words on the October 19, 1999, Praise the Lord program:Hinn states... Here's what I see for TBN. You're going to have people raised from the dead watching this network. You're going to have people raised from the dead watching TBN...I'm telling you, I see this in the
Spirit. It's going to be so awesome - Jesus I give you praise for this - that people around the world - maybe not so much in America - people around the world who will lose loved ones, will say to undertakers, "Not yet. I want to take my dead loved one and place him in front of that TV set for 24 hours."...
I'm telling you, I can feel the anointing talking here. People are going to be canceling funeral services and bringing their dead in their caskets, placing them- my God! I feel the anointing here- placing them before a television set, waiting for God's power to come through and touch them. And it's going to happen time and time -so much it's going to spread. You're going to hear it from Kenya to Mexico to Europe to South America, where people will be raised from the dead. So much so that the word will spread that if some dead person be put in front of this TV screen, they will be raised from the dead and they will be by the tousands...
I see rows of caskets lining up in front of this TB set and I see them bringing them closer to the TV set and as people are coming closer I see loved ones picking up the hands of the dead and letting them touch the
screen and people are getting raised as their hands are touching that screen.
Such words coming from the mouth of Hinn are completely foolish and unbiblical. God does not speak today rough new "visions" or heavenly messages, nor would He ever contradict His own Word. Hinn's statements
clearly contradict Scripture, for the Bible teaches that the next resurrection for which the believer is to await will occur when Jesus Christ comes again in the air to catch away His own ( 1 Thess. 4:16-17). At that time, the bodies of those believers who have died will be raised from the dead, and they will receive their new, glorified bodies. After this rapture of believers, God's Word says amazing, miraculous manifestations will occur on earth, but those miracles are energized by satan himself and are used for the purpose of deception (2 Thess.2:6-10). God is not the author of such works. In fact, these miracles will be used against the true God, for these forthcoming miracles and manifestations will occur i in a "religious" context but will be used to deceive all who do not have a "love for the truth" (Rev. 13:14-15). Do not be decived by the speculations of men or the supposed revelations of the Spirit to Charismatic dreamers and schemers. The only word we have from the Lord today is the written Word, the Bible."
