Kim Clement Says God Told Him Saddam Would Be Captured By October, 2003:
Kim Clement: God is going to clean this thing up quickly. And if course when I prophesied about the sons being killed, they were killed a week and a half later. We've documented all of that. Now the Lord is saying, okay, that's taken care of. Now we're going to expose Saddam Hussein. We're going to bring this thing to a swift close. It's not going to be another Viet Nam. And also that America is going to be blessed in October as well, because He set it aside for a blessing and there will be weapons of mass destruction that will be exposed. I mean this is pretty risky for me. I'm just saying it right now.
Paul Crouch: But, but you heard this from the Lord.
Kim Clement: I heard it clearly. So I am, I am listening, I'm waiting for October. I mean, I'm just so excited about it. And this is for individuals as well. I mean, this nation, but also in Iraq.
Paul Crouch: So you, you do believe - I mean, this is September. We're talking next month that Saddam Hussein will be found.
Kim Clement: ... God said to me "Twenty-one days and Baghdad will be down."
Paul Crouch: And it was 21 days.
Kim Clement: Right. Yeah, it was. It was in the newspapers. It was in Time Magazine. And then He spoke about 7 months, okay, that that would be the end of it. I mean, that seems impossible right now, but I believe in October that Saddam Hussein is the one that He's referring to. Now, I didn't say Saddam Hussein. Maybe I was trying to predict myself. But I believe that that's what He was saying quite clearly. And I prophesied that.....
Paul Crouch: Dead or alive?
Kim Clement: You want the details. I think alive. I'm hoping alive because they need to do a few things to him. But that I don't have clarity on. But October is the month for exposure.
Paul Crouch: And weapons of mass destruction you believe will be -
Kim Clement: Vindication, vindication for the United States president is coming in the month of October. That's the word I got anyways.

Clement has now predicted the capture of bin Laden by Easter of this year and he has made it clear that it is a prophecy:
Kim Clement: And the Spirit of the Lord said "there is a resurrection day coming over this Easter. This will be, the Easter that is coming now, will be one of the greatest Easters this nation has ever celebrated." Why? Because there will be a resurrection of the dead, speaking spiritually, of revelation that has died, of prophetic words that have died and been buried in the ground. "This Easter," says the Spirit of the Lord, "not only will I bring your greatest enemy out, but I will also bring about a severe judgment against the powers and the principalities that have come against My servants, against My people. There shall be a judgment," says the Lord.
Later Clement said about this prophecy: "He spoke about the merriest Christmas in America because of the capturing of Saddam Hussein, which I clearly prophesied, and it did happen. Now the Lord is speaking about the next one, Bin Laden, who's about to be captured. And so I'm looking forward to Easter. I'm going on television right now and saying this is what I have prophesied. And I believe if you pray and believe with me, this will happen, because that swine needs to come out of his hole as well."
Today on Kim Clement's website he admitted to missing the bin Laden capture by Easter prophecy, but stops short of calling himself a false prophet:
"Whenever the Lord gives me a prophetic word that involves an important event or a date in which something is going to take place, I am well aware of the anticipation, interest and credibility by which those words are monitored, judged and received.
"I might also add that when the Lord gives me a prophetic word, I too can be just as vulnerable as any of you in making assumptions concerning what has been spoken to me. And because of those assumptions, like many of you, I am equally disappointed when it appears that certain events don’t come to pass.
"But time and again when the Lord takes me back to his word and I examine what He originally said, I can see how by changing one word or phrase or making an assumption from one line, it changes the entire meaning or translation of the prophecy which then creates further assumptions and misinterpretations.
"Therefore, I would like to take a couple of recent prophecies and further elaborate on the context in which they were given. I feel that I can clarify some specific issues by submitting the prophet’s viewpoint.
".....Regarding Osama, we are not sure exactly when this will happen because it is not clearly defined. However, there seems to be is a suggestion that Easter would have been the beginning of celebrations. There are several events that have occurred (up to and through) the Easter weekend. I feel strongly that the "celebration" is regarding the "resurrection of the dead" (as I prophesied) and also possibly the "bringing out" of our greatest enemy!!!....Many of you may be wondering, “was this past Easter really one of the greatest Easters this Nation has ever celebrated?” My feeling is that Easter was the time where "things will be revealed" and the "greatest enemy" will be "brought out." Over that sacred time (Easter), something was exposed which will be the end of his hiding. For a time I too felt that over Easter we would see the capture of Bin Laden, however, when I read the prophetic word that I had given, I understood that it meant “revealing his whereabouts,” and this would bring him out. This could be the beginning of the 35-day period."
Why is it that today's "prophets" have such a hard time understanding what "God" is saying when Old Testament prophets had no trouble whatsoever? They never misheard God or wrote things down incorrectly. When God wanted to get a message across HE GOT IT ACROSS LOUD AND CLEAR!
It's time Kim Clement -- who has boasted about his good character publicly as evidence of being a true prophet -- was honest and admit that he IS NOT a prophet.
"In far too many instances God has been blamed for something that He had no part in. Just because someone says 'Here is what God told me to tell you' or 'Thus saith the Lord' does not mean that God has truly spoken."
(Kim Clement, The Sound of His Voice, Creation House, 1993, page 112)
Cure for AIDS by 2002:
"God wants us to go to the back streets. He wants to have a cure for AIDS. He said it's going to be by the year 2002, there's going to be a cure for AIDS. Well, somebody said, "Well, those homosexuals deserve to have AIDS." No they don't. You deserve to die, but Jesus died for you 2000 years ago. I don't think anybody deserves to die. There's gonna be a cure and there's gonna be a Christian that is a scientist that's gonna come across a discovery. An announcement was just made the other day by Sharon Stone after I made the announcement nationally that there was going to be a cure for AIDS in the year 2002. She said, "In my lifetime [unintelligible] and the doctors, we don't see a cure for AIDS." That's called a prognosis. It's called a prognostication. The prophets hate any prognosis that defies what God has given them to say."
Dead Being Raised, Creative Miracles:
"But He's formed something inside of me in the process, but in 1996, especially, there were tremendous predictions about the millennium and preparing a group of people for the greatest and most incredible move of the Spirit that's ever, that has ever happened or ever taken place in the history of humanity, is about to happen. So a lot of people are afraid of that. A lot of religious people are afraid of that because our comfort, of our comfort zone, we would prefer not to receive the challenge to expand our faith, to expand our ministries to that place where we will start raising the dead, we will have the creative miracles, not just in one massive meeting, but in the highways, the byways and the streets and everything."
"Today we are told to go and win souls whichever way we can get them in. We proudly give an account of how many "souls" came to the altar in order to boast of our achievements. Most of the time the altars are filled with saved people getting saved again for fear of losing their salvation. Most of the time preachers have spewed out the wrath of God on God's people, demanding continual public repentance to impress the television audience of their non-compromising stand, demanding more support, based on the numbers at the alter and in the pews. Most of the time, these are the born-again getting bored again with the same manipulating repetitious garbage in order to keep them from hell."

Mark Chironna: "This idea that prophets know everything or that, so called, they "miss it," you know, a false prophet - the most powerful prophecies about Israel in the Old Covenant were given by a false prophet named Balaam. He prophesied more glorious things about the history of Israel than anybody. A false prophet has nothing to do with the accuracy of a prophecy. We can argue about that with the, whoever wants to argue. A false prophet had to do with the character of their life. It had nothing to do with the accuracy of their prophecy. And we know your character. We know who you are. We love you.
Kim Clement: Well, take a look at this [pointing to his wedding band]. Put this camera on this ring of mine. The Bible says "by their fruits you shall know them." My wife and I have been married 25 years. We just celebrated our 25th anniversary [Applause]. And God bless her and I love her, but these are the five children she gave me, I think there, 5 diamonds in it for our 5 children. You know, they're so quick to speak about any little thing that - you know - but they don't look at the fruit of the person's life either. That's also very important."
