FALSE PROPHETS

Every Christian knows that the Bible teaches that there shall be false prophets and false christs in the end-time. However, many fail to identify these false prophets and teachers and as a result, many are being deceived.

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?

Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. (Matthew 24:23-26)

But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. (2 Peter 2:1-2)

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. (2 Timothy 4:3-4)

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. (1Timothy 4:1)

HOW DO YOU IDENTIFY A FALSE PROPHET?

A true prophet will always lead one to the Word and bind the people to Jesus Christ. A true prophet will not tell the people to fear him or what he says but to fear what the Word says.

The true prophet always says something and they happen exactly as they prophesied.

Antichrist means "antiWord," so these false prophets come perverting the Word of God giving it a meaning that fits their own devilish end.

Just like Judas Iscariot, they are out for money. They get you to sell everything you have and give it to them and their schemes. Some charge for consultation fees. They even tell you how much money to pay.

They spend more time on offerings than the Word. False preachers more often preach about money and how people can have material wealth.

Those who operate the gifts make use of a gift with margin of errors.

Some use psychology and guesses and they call it of God. For example, some may say," I can see someone..." or "the Lord has told me that someone..." Our God is not a God of guesses. He knows every detail of anyone or anything in the universe.


Like the seven sons of Sceva who tried to imitate Paul, the first messenger to the Gentiles, these false prophet do imitate the last messenger to the Gentiles.

If the preacher does not say exactly what Paul said, he is false! 

But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. (Gal 1:8)

The false prophet will tell you if you do not believe them, you will be lost but the true prophet will cry out for people to get back to the word or they will be lost.

These same false prophets will claim that the messenger of the last-day is not a theologian, so he ought not to be heard.


In the days of Micaiah the prophet, there were 400 prophets who were all in agreement saying the same thing and fooling the people but there was only one true prophet-Micaiah.
