Houteff (1885-1955), an emigrate from Bulgaria, is considered by many to be controversial but to the genuine "a prophet without honor". Having arrived in ~1907 without formal training in English nor Theology, but yet, authoring thousands of pages of sound Biblical expositions on prophecies never before understood, ye nor even preached on by men of renown, testifies that surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. Guided by the Holy Spirit, he continuously exalts the Spirit of Prophecy and the Bible in his writings, making plain the deep prophetic "secret things of the lord", meat in due season.
