Butthurt Crackpot Prophet Does An Entire Video On How Banned Mocked Him. Poor Little Thing!

 

Here we go again! Crackpot Bob (and his ever-faithful sidekick Steve Dupuie) has graced the internet with yet another episode of BibleNewsProphecy titled “Prophetic Scoffers and Earthquakes.” In it, they clutch their pearls over some recent seismic activity and a European heatwave, declare it all “the beginning of sorrows,” and then spend the rest of the video smugly explaining why anyone who rolls their eyes at this routine disaster-mongering is a Bible-denying scoffer straight out of 2 Peter 3.
The target of their righteous indignation? This blog (Banned by HWA), me, and every commenter who has ever dared to point out that Thiel’s “prophetic” pattern has been the same recycled panic for over a decade: tragedy happens → Thiel slaps a verse on it → anyone who says “this is geology and meteorology, not divine theater” is labeled an apostate deceiver who just wants “smooth things.”
According to the video and its companion article, we had:

• A 7.5/7.2 earthquake doublet in Venezuela (tragic, deadly, and yes, the strongest there in 125 years).
• A 7.2 quake off Japan.
• A 5.6 in California.
• Record heat in parts of Europe.

Thiel’s conclusion: Jesus was obviously talking about these specific events when He said there would be earthquakes in various places. The fact that “various places” on Earth have been experiencing earthquakes since the planet cooled is apparently irrelevant. And, the fact that we all sit on the ring of fire that circles the Pacific.
Banned had the audacity to note what the USGS has been saying for years: the number of detected earthquakes has risen because we have thousands more seismometers than we did in 1900. The actual rate of major earthquakes (magnitude 7+) has remained remarkably stable for over a century—roughly 15–20 per year on average. Some years more, some years less. Normal fluctuation.
Thiel and Dupuie call this “scoffing.”
Normal people call it “reading the data instead of cherry-picking verses.”
Europe had a nasty heatwave. Temperatures hit 44.3 °C in France. People died. Thiel says this is God using weather to encourage repentance (citing Amos). 
The blog pointed out the obvious: heat records get broken every few years now, and particularly this year with El Niño in effect. And, the fact that most European governments try to prohibit air conditioners. That’s not prophecy; that’s basic climate science and governmental stupidity. Thiel’s response in the video? Essentially, “Well, if it’s happening more, why wouldn’t it be prophetic?”
Because literally everything can be prophetic if your interpretive method is “bad thing happened = end times confirmed.” Drought? Prophecy. Flood? Prophecy. Slightly warmer Tuesday? Also prophecy. The only thing that would falsify it is if nothing bad ever happened again, and even then Thiel would probably say the lack of disasters is a sure sign that God has exhausted all avenues of trials; thus it MUST  be a sign of the end.
Thiel quotes 2 Peter 3 about scoffers in the last days who say “all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” Then he applies it to people who notice that earthquakes and heatwaves have, in fact, continued as they were from the beginning of creation.
It’s almost impressive how neatly this backfires. The actual context of 2 Peter 3 is people denying the return of Christ and the coming judgment. It is not about people correctly identifying that the planet still has tectonic plates and seasons.
Meanwhile, Isaiah 30:10 (“speak unto us smooth things”) gets trotted out against anyone who refuses to treat every natural disaster as a personal message from God delivered from Grover Beach, California.
The irony is thick enough to spread on toast: the man who has been announcing the imminent end of the world (with varying degrees of specificity) for well over a decade is now calling other people scoffers for not panicking on his schedule.
Yes, the blog has called him Crackpot Bob. Repeatedly. Because when you’ve spent years predicting specific timelines that quietly get memory-holed, when you declare yourself a prophet after getting the boot from another splinter group, and when your entire media operation consists of turning every headline into “see, I was right again,” the nickname writes itself. What else could we call you?
The video treats this nickname like a badge of honor. “Look how the wicked mock the righteous!” No, Bob. We're mocking the guy who treats every aftershock like a personal endorsement from Jesus.
Natural disasters are tragic. People suffer. That has been true for all of human history. Modern technology lets us detect more of them and report them faster, which makes it feel like they’re increasing. Some years are worse than others because plate tectonics and weather patterns are not on a fixed prophetic calendar.
Crackpot has turned this basic reality into a cottage industry of fear. Every time the ground shakes, or the thermometer rises, he runs to the microphone to remind us that he saw it coming (vaguely, in a book from 2009 or 2012 or whenever). Anyone who fails to genuflect and say “Truly thou art a prophet” is labeled a scoffer, an anti-Christian, and someone who just wants to hear smooth things.
Meanwhile, the actual commenters on Banned by HWA and similar sites are doing the one thing Thiel seems incapable of: applying basic skepticism and historical context instead of treating the Bible like a Rorschach test for current events.
If every earthquake and heatwave since 33 AD had been a direct fulfillment of Mark 13:8 in the way Thiel means it, the “beginning of sorrows” would have started roughly two thousand years ago and never stopped. At some point, “various places” just means “Earth.”
The video isn’t really about earthquakes or prophecy. It’s about ego management. Thiel got called out (again) for turning human suffering into content, and rather than say “Yeah, maybe I overreached,” he made an entire episode explaining why the people pointing it out are the real problem because the Bible warned about them.
That’s not prophecy.
That’s just standard cult-leader damage control, dressed up in King James English and uploaded to YouTube (Satan's airwaves when it does something Bob doesn't like).
We will keep calling it like we see it, Commentors will keep responding to his lies. The ground will keep shaking, the summers will keep getting warmer in some places, and Bob Thiel will keep insisting it’s all about him. Some things really do continue as they were from the beginning.
Video starts where Butthurt Bob starts whining about Banned.
