What Are Prophets and How Do They Affect God's Followers Today?
As
with many of the precepts of the Bible, there is much misunderstanding
about Prophets. Prophets are messengers of God. They do not appoint
themselves Prophets; God appoints them.
| And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by
his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had
compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place: |
| But they mocked the messengers of God, and
despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the
LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy. |
| And he said, Hear now my
words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself
known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. |
But just because God speaks through his messengers, that doesn't mean the messenger cannot speak on his own.
| I
will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee,
and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all
that I shall command him. |
| And
it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words
which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. |
| But
the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I
have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of
other gods, even that prophet shall die. |
| And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? |
| When
a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not,
nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but
the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of
him. |
| If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, |
| And the sign or the
wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go
after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; |
| Thou shalt not hearken
unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD
your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with
all your heart and with all your soul. |
| Ye shall walk after the
LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his
voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. |
| And that prophet, or
that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken
to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the
land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust
thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in.
So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee. |
