Jeremiah 28:9 But the prophet who prophesies peace will be recognized as one truly sent by the Lord only if his prediction comes true

Do you remember taking tests in school that had true and false questions on them? They were really easy if you knew the answer. If you didn’t have a clue, you had only a 50 percent chance of being right.

The Jews struggled to discern who was a false prophet and who was a true one. Many times their sin blinded them to the true prophets, and they chose to accept the false prophets’ teaching.

Even today, it can be difficult for some to know the difference between what is true and what is false.

The false prophet Hananiah prophesied that the Babylonian captivity would only last two years and then everything would be fine again. This was what the people wanted to hear.

But Jeremiah told Hananiah that because he preached rebellion against the Lord he would die. Hananiah died two months later, just as Jeremiah had prophesied. Now who was the true prophet?

We can know the truth today my friend, by praying and spending time in God’s word! Muhammed said I’ve wrote the truth, Buddah said, I’ve heard the truth, Satan even said, I know the truth, But Jesus is the only one that said, I am the Truth!

Prayer Suggestion: Spend time in God’s so you can discern the true from the false in spiritual matters.
