False Prophets and the ‘Oracle of the LORD’
By the Watchman Dana G Smith
Keywords: prophets, LORD, Word, shepherds, perdition

Jeremiah 23:20 The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.

Today we have many prophets that are all declaring dreams and visions. These men of God, so to speak, are declaring what the bible calls the ‘Oracle of the LORD.’ That is the specific Word from God Almighty. The scripture above tells us that ‘I have not sent these prophets’, further it says “I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.’ This segment of scripture is from Jeremiah 23, which speaks to the shepherds, pastors, and prophets of the time in which Jeremiah were prophesying. These had trouble with the harsh message of judgment upon Israel, the religious leaders, and even Jerusalem. Jeremiah spoke judgment to the nation for its many abominations. In this context the prophet compares the situation and people to Sodom and Gomorrah.

Jeremiah further stipulates that the LORD would feed these prophets with ‘wormwood’ or bitterness. These prophets who claimed to have drunk from the ‘wellspring of life’ would in fact drink from a pitcher of gall for their lies. These prophets who declared such things made the people ‘worthless’ and spoke these vision’s from their own heart. Because of this, ‘profaneness’ had gone out into the land of Israel. Instead of saying ‘judgment was coming’, these said that on the contrary ‘peace was coming’. These prophets walked according to the dictates of their own heart and pushed this thought among the people that ‘no evil shall come upon you.’ These very same prophets, shepherds, and leaders all were carried captive away to Babylon. The Temple was destroyed, Jerusalem taken, and all the Holy things in the temple were taken as well. Indeed the lesson learned was, gall is bitter, and wormwood even more so. If God sent his own people into bondage, destroying his own temple, and sending his own shepherds and prophets into captivity for their sins, just what do you think he will do to the American Church and Christian who refuses to acknowledge the path to walk? What will he do to America? What will he do to the nations? One answer, they all will stand before him for the deeds they do!

2 Corinthians 5:11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

The one issue that stood out for what constituted the Word of the LORD in this section was the fact that if these prophets and shepherds had indeed stood in the counsel of the LORD, then they would have spoken what the LORD told them. These words would have defined judgment and the people would repent, turning from their evil way and the evil of their doings. The people would have stopped embracing idols, lust, greed, and many other vices that grip a nation which is and has been wealthy. Make no mistake, Israel had prospered and grew to great stature in the world under King David and Solomon. At the end of Solomon’s reign, his backsliding from the LORD, caused by his many wives brought judgment to the kingdom. It was thus divided into two parts, the northern tribes called Israel, aka, Ephraim. The other part was Judah, who inhabited Jerusalem. At the time of Jeremiah, the religious leaders, the political establishment, and also the prophets were opposed to the message of Jeremiah. These who opposed the prophet of God spoke of enduring peace and safety for the nation. A message opposite of what God was actually saying. These prophets even had dreams and visions to back up what they said. The dreams and visions convinced the people that these men spoke truth, and thus Jeremiah’s message was castigated. Eventually Jeremiah was thrown into prison for his work. When Babylon invaded, however, the Prophet was taken out of custody and told he could stay in Jerusalem or go to Babylon. Babylon did not harm the Prophet.

The judgment came to Israel and will as well come to America and all the nations as a ‘whirlwind of the LORD.’ This whirlwind will be a judgment of violent extreme which will fall upon the heads of the wicked and rebellious, just as it did upon Israel, Sodom, and Gomorrah. It is interesting to note in this section in Jeremiah that the ‘anger of the LORD will not turn back until he has ‘executed and performed the thoughts of his heart’. He did not relent in judging Israel, Sodom, Gomorrah, or other nations. Nor will he relent in judging America and the church, or the world. He will not stop until he has perfectly implemented and carry out the ‘Day of the Lord’. One verse additionally stands out here. It says that ‘in the latter days you will understand it perfectly.’ No doubt we can say we live in the ‘last of the last days.’ It is a time when the final, complete, ‘Day of the LORD upon all nations will occur.’ It is to this phrase we should be particularly attentive too. For it will come and will not stop until God has implanted every last detail of his plan, fulfilling all the Word of God, putting down all his enemies, and finally establishing his kingdom on earth.

Jeremiah 23:19  Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
20  The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
21  I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22  But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
23  Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?
24  Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
25  I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
26  How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;

As in those days of Israel, so too, America has befallen the same fate, it has become a kingdom given over to multitudes of idols, gods, and abominations. For the people today, there are many, many denominations, pastors, shepherds, apostles, and prophets. If I had a bit of money for everyone who has had a dream or vision today, I could retire. What’s more, add to all these supernatural encounters the modern prophets and apostles, then you have quite a mix. The Apostle Paul warned those who are rich ‘fall into temptation and a snare’. This leads many into ‘foolish and hurtful lusts’, which ‘drown men in destruction and perdition.’

1 Timothy 6:9  But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
1 Timothy 6:17  Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

It is here we find that the word ‘perdition’ is the same word used with the deceiver coming. This deceiver many know as the ‘beast’, but in 2 Thessalonians, he is called the ‘son of perdition’. Perdition is strongs 684, meaning destruction, ruin, waste, damnation, pernicious ways. The word here is apoleia and is related to two Greek words, meaning from or out of ‘destruction or ruin.’ It is this ‘son of ruin’, which is ‘lawless’ and brings a society into great ‘delusion’ because that society has rejected the ‘love of the truth.’ The truth is found in Yeshua HaMassiach, or as we say in the English, Jesus Christ. He is the only begotten Son of the living God and Father.

The rich nations and those who are rich themselves, are prone to fall into traps which drown men and women in ‘ruin’ and ‘destruction’. America is one such nation. Nowhere on earth has a nation seen such blessings. Indeed this country has been raised to the pentacle of the world stage. In the process of the peace, prosperity, and life in this nation, people have wandered from the ‘truth’ following all manner of lusts and debauchery. They follow other gods, other religious ways, and other new age nuances, all of which, lead men and women into further delusion and finally destruction. Along the way in this nation are the myriads of Americanized churches and religious ways that drown people in destruction because they do not the truth. Holiness makes way for debauchery, openness makes a path for licentious ways, and finally modern saintly prophets encourage all this with their own brand of trickery and deceit.

It is time for the people of God, those who will, to start seeking the LORD and walking in his ways. We must put off the ways of this world, stop loving it so, and find our place in the LORD God and his salvation through Jesus Christ. It is a call to discipleship and purpose and one which will keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus Christ. This is a purpose that pushes us to walk in truth, love, and faith no matter what comes.

In the scriptures below we find the phrase ‘keep his commandments’. All these are from the New covenant or testament. It means we ‘keep his commandments’. Most people in America who live in the Gentile ‘age of grace’ fear the word ‘commandments’ thinking they do not need to do anything of the sort. They can sin willy nilly and still be fine in the LORD.

Matthew 19:17  And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
John 14:15  ¶If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 15:10  If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’’s commandments, and abide in his love.
1 John 2:3  ¶And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
1 John 3:22  And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
1 John 5:2  By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
1 John 5:3  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Revelation 12:17  And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Revelation 14:12  Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

When we read ‘keep the commandments’ we are not talking about keeping the Old Testament or old covenant law. But we are talking about pleasing God. We walk by faith in Jesus Christ, and keep the commandments of God. Where do you start? Try the first two, love the LORD thy God, and love thy neighbor as thyself.

Mark 12:30  And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31  And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

It is also important to remember to Fast, pray, and seek the Lord for yourself. Read his Word, keep the faith, and walk in LOVE. Don’t follow a prophet, priest, shepherd, or otherwise just because of visions and dreams. Don’t follow anyone, follow the LORD. Now I am not saying there is no place for shepherds, prophets, or ministry. Yes, there is a place for fellowship, shepherds, and ministry, but be wary. To many today have no discernment and follow the path of destruction and ruin. For the biggest deception occurs in the Seminaries of American Religious Institutions then passes down into the churches and through the pastorate itself. The prophets and shepherds in Israel pushed false doctrine, false visions, false dreams, and a false word of God to the people. The people then, believing these men of God, did as they said. When they did this, judgment came. For a true man or woman of God, brings God’s truth and with it a burning fire from the Holy Ghost to purge out sins and prepare people to meet their God.

Make no mistake about it, God delivers us from sin, not enable us to keep sinning. God provides for us to overcome the lust of flesh and the desires of the mind. God enables us to overcome the world by faith and the power of the Holy Spirit. Anything short of this is not of God.

1 John 2:16  For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

Ephesians 2:2  Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3  Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

1 John 5:2  By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
4  For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
5  Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
