Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker ☺️👑😊 Join me today as we discuss 🚨 What Does the Bible Warn about False Prophets?✍ In the days of the Old Testament, God often spoke through prophets, special people He chose to use as instruments for delivering His messages. People like Isaiah, Daniel, and Jeremiah were plucked from their normal lives and tasked with the great responsibility of being a spokesperson of God. Many of these prophets were highly respected and treated with deep reverence, while others were ridiculed, despised, and even martyred.✍ What Is the Purpose of a Prophet in the Bible?
A prophet is meant to receive a message from God — whether a verbal directive or other word, or as a vision or dream — and then communicate that message to the people. God often sent prophets to warn or guide people. Often, they served as God’s representative, ambassador, or spokesperson. Israel’s kings would seek the counsel of prophets before making major decisions, such as waging war, to be sure their actions were in line with the Lord’s wishes.💥 The bottom line is that false prophets bring a message that is not from God. Their message contradicts what God instructs, often appealing to our earthly cravings or passions. And ultimately, they produce “bad fruit.”
