PROPHETS (4)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Bible Topic
a) To learn what the Bible has to say on a variety of topics affecting our everyday lives, we may find what we are looking for here.
2. Prophets
a) What is the “testimony of Jesus Christ?” It’s in the Bible, Revelation 19:10, NKJV. “And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
b) If there are true prophets, we can expect false prophets in the last days. It’s in the Bible, Matthew 24:24, NKJV. “For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.”
c) We should test those who claim to be prophets. It’s in the Bible, 1 John 4:1, NKJV. "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world."
d) Beware of prophets who do not keep the laws of God, even if they perform miracles. It’s in the Bible, Matthew 7:22-23, NKJV. “Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”
e) Don’t listen to prophets that speak against the Bible. It’s in the Bible, Isaiah 8:20, NKJV. “To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.”
f) We can't ignore all prophecies out of fear of false prophets - we should test them. It's in the Bible, 1 Thessalonians 5:20-21, NKJV. “Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good”
