False Prophet
A deceiver who claims to speak for God but leads people astray. Jesus warned, 'Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves' (Matthew 7:15). Deuteronomy 18:20-22 provided the test: if a prophecy does not come true, the prophet is false. Jeremiah confronted false prophets who cried 'Peace, peace' when there was no peace (Jeremiah 6:14). In the end times, Revelation 13:11-17 describes a beast from the earth (the false prophet) who performs signs to deceive. Revelation 19:20 records the false prophet being thrown into the lake of fire. Second Peter 2:1-3 warns that false prophets will 'secretly introduce destructive heresies.'
