Bible gives examples about false prophet and Jesus Christ said in His Word that, in last times, it would be hard to maintain the truth…
Here is an exemple about a false prophet :
Jeremiah 28
In the fight month of that same year, …the prophet Hananiah son of Azzur,…said to me in the house of the Lord in presence of the priests and all the people: « This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israël,says: I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon. Within two years I will bring back to this place all the articles of the Lord’s house that Nebuchanezzar king of Babylon removed from here and took to Babylon. I will also bring back to this place Jehoiachim son of J. king of Judah and all the overs exiles from Yudah who went to Babylon, declares the Lord, for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon »
Then the prophet Jeremiah replied to the prophet Hananiah before the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the Lord. He said: « Amen! May the lord do so! May the Lord fulfil the words you have prophesied by bringing the articles …and all the exiles back to this place from Babylon. Neverveless, listen to what I have to say in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people: from early times the prophets who preceded you and me have prophesied war, disaster and plague against many countries and great kingdoms. But the prophet who prophesies peace will be recognised as one truly sent by the Lord only if his prediction comes true. »
Then the prophet Hananiah took the yoke off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah and broke it, and he said before all the people: « This is what the Lord says: in the same way will I break the yoke of Nebuchanezzar … within two years. »
At this , the prophet Jeremiah went on his way.
Shortly after… the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: » Go and tell Hananiah: this is what the Lord says: you have broken a wooden yoke, but in its place you you will get a yoke of iron….Listen Hananiah! The Lord has not sent you, yet you have persuaded this nation to trust in lies. Therefore, this is what the Lord says: I am about to remove you from the face of the earth. This very year you are going to die, because you have preached rebellion against the Lord »
In the seventh month of that same year, Hananiah the prophet died.
Jeremiah 23 speaks about false prophets...
You may say to yourselves : how can we know when a message has not been spoke by the Lord? If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place, or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken; that prophet has spoken presumptuously, do not be afraid of him Deut 18:22
Ezekiel 13 speaks about false prophet's judgment:
Today, what must we do?
