Discerning False Prophets A HEBREW SAGE MIGHT SAY. . . Mans way leads to a hopeless end — GODS way leads to an endless hope. DISCERNING FALSE PROPHETS And should you ask yourselves— How can we know that the word was not spoken by the LORD? — IF the prophet speaks in the NAME of the LORD and the oracle does not come true, that oracle was not spoken by the LORD; the prophet has uttered it presumptuously; do not stand in dread (be afraid) of him. [Deuteronomy (Devarim) 18. 21 - 22 Tanakh, Torah] The test a true prophet of the LIVING LORD is to consider what they say. Do they call everyone to repent of their evil ways and doings and turn wholeheartedly back to ALMIGHTY GOD? The MOST HOLY ONE said, IF they had stood in MY counsel, let them announce MY words to MY people, then they would have turned them from their evil ways and from the wicked acts they are doing. [Jeremiah (Yirmeyah) 23. 22 Tanakh, Neviim] Because they seek to entice you away from the LORD your GOD, the penalty for a false prophet was death. Do not assent or give heed to him. Show him no pity or compassion, and do not shield him; but take his life. Let your hand be the first against him to put him to death, and the hand of the rest of the people thereafter. Stone him to death, for he sought to make you stray from the LORD your GOD, WHO brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thus all Israel will hear and be afraid, and such evil things will not be done again in your midst. [Deuteronomy (Devarim) 13. 9 - 12 Tanakh, Neviim] To our shame and ultimate ruin, we have accepted and honored the false teachers instead of following the ALMIGHTYS commands to destroy evil from among us. This is bringing GODS just wrath upon the whole world. The testing of a prophet should never be based entirely on his ability to perform signs and wonders; but on the message he speaks. If there appears among you a prophet or a dream-diviner and he gives you a sign or a wonder, saying— Let us follow and worship another god —whom you have not experienced — even if the sign or wonder that he named to you comes true, you shall not heed or listen to the words of that prophet or that dream-diviner. For the LORD your GOD is TESTING you to see whether you really love the LORD your GOD with all your heart and with all your soul. [Deuteronomy (Devarim) 13. 2 - 4 Tanakh, Torah] Absolute harmony of the prophets message and deeds with the revealed WORD OF GOD, and the wholehearted commitment to the HOLY ONE HIMSELF, is an immediate test of a true prophet. His inward attitude will be expressed and he will walk after the LORD in fear and reverence, keep HIS commandments, and obey HIM — serving the LORD and clinging to HIS promises. Follow none but the LORD your GOD, and revere none but HIM; observe HIS commandments alone, and heed only HIS orders; worship none but HIM, and hold fast to HIM. [Deuteronomy (Devarim) 13. 5 Tanakh, Torah] Then, it will be well with our souls. Sha’alu (Pray) for the Shalom (Peace) of Jerusalem and all of Israel! O GOD, keep my tongue from evil and my lips from speaking guile (deceit). Be my SUPPORT when grief silences my voice, and my COMFORT when woe bends my spirit. Plant humility in my soul, and strengthen my heart with perfect faith in YOU. Help me to be strong in trials and temptations and to be humble always before YOU, my STRONG-TOWER. Guide me by the LIGHT of YOUR counsel, and let me ever find rest in YOU — my ROCK and my REDEEMER. Praised be the LORD GOD ETERNAL to WHOM all praise is due for ever and ever. Amen! To have hope that is certain and faith that is sure, we must spend some time daily in GOD’S WORD to us so we can learn, understand and be firmly grounded in what HE has to teach us. How can we follow someone we don’t truly know and trust? We must read to know because the ONLY SOURCE of truth is what is written. Praying for the peace of Jerusalem, is praying for the return of our Messiah and Lord and for the Kingdom of God He is bringing when He comes. Then Gods Will shall be done on earth as it is in Heaven and the world will experience true godly universal peace which is the fruit of Righteousness.
