In the current use of prophecy in the church, my experience is that even a prophet
doesn't completely understand the message to be delivered.

Prophecies are usually delivered in humbleness.
"I don't know what this means, but here is what I think God is saying for you."
This was similar to my prophetic experience. Did I ever tell you about that regarding my doctor? Without going into all the details, while I was an enemy of Christ the Spirit gave me a vision. I was not entirely sure of what I saw. That is the humble part. However, I was certain of what it meant by divine revelation; my doctor should postpone his upcoming trip to Haiti.

I am so grateful that my doctor received another unsolicited message to postpone his trip. I needed that more than he did because that confirmation began my slow repentance toward accepting Jesus as my lord and savior, sealed I was by the Holy Spirit in what I learned a decade later is called Prevenient Grace.

That's a good testimony, thanks.

Why did the doctor need to postpone the trip?

I found myself in a bit of a minor frustration.
My reaction was to raise a fist and blame God. All in jest of course.
I believe that God has a sense of humor and can stand a bit of honest frustration.

If we believe God is sovereign, then he is ultimately responsible for this mess we are in.
And I believe he has a plan in place to make everything right again. The age of restoration.

Yes, and He warned us that He has a plan.

Revelation 20:15
15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

"and they will be tormented day and night FOREVER"

He warned us?
You are making God out to be a tyrant again.

How does citing what God said make Him a tyrant? You really shouldn't call Him a tyrant. Judgment Day is dead ahead.

Matthew 25:41
41 Then He will also say to those on the left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:
Revelation 20:10
10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
