They are often characterized by deceit, leading people away from the teachings of the true God. The Bible warns against such figures, emphasizing their danger to the spiritual well-being of believers.<br><br><b>Old Testament References:</b><br>The Old Testament contains numerous warnings about false prophets. In <a href="/deuteronomy/18-20.htm">Deuteronomy 18:20-22</a>, God provides a test for identifying false prophets: "But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods—that prophet must die. You may ask in your heart, ‘How can we recognize a message that the LORD has not spoken?’ When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD and the message does not come to pass or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him."<br><br>Jeremiah frequently confronted false prophets who contradicted his messages of impending judgment. In <a href="/jeremiah/23-16.htm">Jeremiah 23:16</a>, the Lord warns, "This is what the LORD of Hosts says: 'Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They are filling you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD.'"<br><br><b>New Testament Warnings:</b><br>The New Testament continues to caution believers about false prophets. Jesus Himself warned in <a href="/matthew/7-15.htm">Matthew 7:15</a>, "Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves." This imagery highlights their deceptive nature and the threat they pose to the flock of believers.<br><br>The Apostle Paul also addressed the issue, warning the Ephesian elders in <a href="/acts/20-29.htm">Acts 20:29-30</a>, "I know that after my departure, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number, men will rise up and distort the truth to draw away disciples after them."<br><br><b>Characteristics and Consequences:</b><br>False prophets are often marked by their self-serving motives, seeking personal gain or power. They may perform signs and wonders to deceive, as noted in <a href="/matthew/24-24.htm">Matthew 24:24</a>: "For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible."<br><br>The consequences of following false prophets are severe. They lead people away from the truth of the Gospel, resulting in spiritual destruction. In <a href="/2_peter/2.htm">2 Peter 2:1</a>, Peter warns, "But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves."<br><br><b>Discernment and Defense:</b><br>Believers are called to exercise discernment and test the spirits, as instructed in 1 <a href="/john/4.htm">John 4:1</a>: "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world." The Bereans are commended in <a href="/acts/17-11.htm">Acts 17:11</a> for examining the Scriptures daily to verify the truth of the teachings they received.<br><br>The Bible encourages believers to remain grounded in the Word of God and to rely on the guidance of the Holy Spirit to discern truth from falsehood. <a href="/ephesians/6-11.htm">Ephesians 6:11-17</a> describes the armor of God, which includes the "belt of truth" and the "sword of the Spirit," as essential tools for standing firm against deception.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br>The presence of false prophets is a recurring theme throughout Scripture, serving as a reminder of the importance of vigilance and adherence to the truth of God's Word. Believers are urged to remain steadfast in their faith, continually seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the wisdom found in the Scriptures to guard against the influence of false teachings.</div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><a name="sub" id="sub"></a><div class="vheading2">Subtopics</div><p class="pspc"><a
