We discuss the controversial history of patriarchal blessings and the manipulation behind them. Were these blessings divinely inspired, or were they simply another tool for control within the church? We explore the discrepancies and false promises made in these so-called divine revelations, touching on patriarchal blessings that foretold of living until the Second Coming of Christ—claims that proved untrue as time passed. We'll also investigate the broader question: Were patriarchal blessings simply a form of fortune telling, wrapped in religious language to instill faith and obedience?
