So this is what I say about the prophets that are preaching in my name. I did not send those prophets. Those prophets said, ‘No enemy with swords will ever attack this country. There will never be hunger in this land.’ Those prophets will die from hunger and an enemy’s sword will kill them.
I did not send those prophets.\par But they ran \{to tell their messages\}.\par I did not speak to them.\par But they preached in my name.\par
I am against the false prophets that preach fake dreams.” This message is from the Lord. “They mislead my people with their lies and false teachings. I did not send those prophets to teach the people. I never commanded them to do anything for me. They can’t help the people of Judah at all.” This message is from the Lord.
They run to the city.\par They quickly climb over the wall.\par They climb into the houses.\par They climb through the windows\par like thieves.\par
“Be careful of false prophets. {\cf2\super [84]} They come to you and look \{gentle\} like sheep. But they are really dangerous \{like\} wolves.
So Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth. I am the gate for the sheep.
Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth. A person must be born again. If a person is not born again, then that person cannot be in God’s kingdom.”
And before a person can go and tell them, that person must be sent. Like the Scriptures {\cf2\super [107]} say, “Beautiful are the feet of those people that come to tell good news.” {\cf2\super [108]}
People like that are not serving our Lord Christ. They are only doing things to please themselves. They use fancy talk and say nice things to fool the people that don’t know about evil.
An elder {\cf2\super [7]} must \{be able to show that those people are wrong and\} stop them from talking \{about those worthless things\}. Those people are destroying whole families by teaching things that they should not teach. They teach those things only to cheat people and make money.
To be a high priest {\cf2\super [38]} is an honor. But no person chooses himself for this work. That person must be called by God like Aaron {\cf2\super [39]} was.
The prophets {\cf2\super [4]} studied carefully and tried to learn about this salvation. Those prophets spoke about the grace (kindness) that was coming to you.
In the past there were false prophets {\cf2\super [6]} among \{God’s\} people. It is the same now. You will have some false teachers in your group. They will teach things that are wrong—teachings that will make people be lost. And those false teachers will teach in a way that will be hard for you to see that they are wrong. They will even refuse to accept the Master (Jesus) who bought their freedom. And so they will quickly destroy themselves.
Those false teachers only want your money. So they will use you by telling you things that are not true. But the judgment against those false teachers has been ready for a long time. And they will not escape the One (God) who will destroy them.
My dear friends, many false prophets {\cf2\super [14]} are in the world now. So don’t believe every spirit. But test the spirits to see if they are from God.
