Primary Verses:
-
Deuteronomy 13:1-3
-
"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 YHVH your God proveth
you, to know whether ye love YHVH your God with all your
heart and with all your soul."
-
Deuteronomy 18:20-22
-
"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
YHVH hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the
name of YHVH, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass,
that is the thing which YHVH hath not spoken, but the
prophet hath spoken it presumptuously:
thou shalt not be
afraid of him."
