How to Spot a False Prophet According to Deuteronomy — Dr. Michael Heiser

When you hear "televangelist," negative stereotypes likely emerge—like a smarmy faith healer with a southern twang flying private jets or a prosperity gospel preacher resembling a game show host—earned clichés no true Christian would link to biblical prophets. Yet, as speaker Michael Heiser notes, the Bible details false prophets who performed signs, wonders, and accurate predictions yet remained untrustworthy, raising the key question: how to discern true from false? Prophets were "covenant enforcers" speaking God's truth, urging loyalty to Yahweh over pagan ways (e.g., Noah in 2 Peter 2:5, Enoch in Jude 14-15, Abraham in Genesis 20:7), often unpopular for their candor. False prophets contradict Scripture via two tests: failed predictions (Deuteronomy 18:22 deems them presumptuous, as Jeremiah 23:16-32 condemned "lying dreams" misleading Judah before Babylon's invasion), with modern examples like Charles Taze Russell's flop Christ-return dates, Edgar Whisenant's 1988 rapture book, or Harold Camping's 1994/2011 end-times math; and, per Deuteronomy 13:1-3, even accurate miracles disqualify if they promote other gods or false gospels, demanding exposure of televangelists, psychics, or healers peddling unscriptural heresies. #Falseprophet #Deuteronomy #drmichaelheiser #serpent #Manifesting #ChristianScience #SleepParalysis #BibleTrust #SpiritualHighs #NewAgeExit #GospelTransform #Apologetics #JehovahsWitnesses #Visualization #Metaphysical #BiblicalIlliteracy #ExNewAge #Supernatural #Deification
