The False Prophet in the Old and New Testament
The False Prophet False prophets speaks lies and words that their clients want to hear (1Kin 22). They are ‘misled’ and ‘guided astray’ (Isa 9:15-16). Their messages are always “pleasant things” and they “speak illusions” (Isa 30:11) and from their own ‘imagination’ (Ezek 13:17-21). They proclaim peace but peace never happens (Jer 28:9) and Jeremiah uses this tactic to force a false prophet to set a timeline for peace from Babylon which never materializes (Jer 28:16). Thus we can learn that the false…

The Accuracy of the OT Prophet
The accuracy of a Prophet Prophets and there message are to be completely accurate. The test of complete accuracy is a starting point in determining if the message is from God. If the message or the signs accompanying it fail to occur, God is very clear that the ‘the prophet has spoken presumptuously’and ‘that is a message the Lord has not spoken’(Deuteronomy 18:22). False prophets and their messages should not be feared or heeded. Some have argued that this Deuteronomy passage only relates to Jesus…
The means by which Prophets declare their message in the OT
Living parables – Ahijah declares his message to Jeroboam by tearing a robe into 12 pieces and giving 10 pieces to the north and 2 to the south (1Kin 11:29-32). Fictional stories – Nathan weaves a story to convict David of his sin when he has Uriah killed (1Sam 12:1ff). An unnamed prophet does the same thing to Ahab for releasing Ben-Hadad (1Kin 20:35-43). Sometimes with signs – Hezekiah to live by making the sun back up 10 steps…
