When True Prophets Completely Miss It How can you tell a true prophet from a false one? Thats a big question, and it doesnt have a simple answer—not in New Testament times anyway. It seemed simple enough in the Old Testament, didnt it? Deuteronomy lays it out in no uncertain terms: But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die. And if you say in your heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?—when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him (Deut. 28:20-22). Its not the same in the New Testament.
