“I would be grossly negligent in my witness for Christ in not conveying that false prophets are the judgment of God, destined to test the hearts of men, in striking contrast to what their outward appearance would have us believe about them. For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, ‘Do not let your prophets who are in your midst and your diviners deceive you, and do not listen to the dreams which they dream. For they prophesy falsely to you in My Name; I have not sent them,’ declares the Lord! "Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of My pasture!” declares the Lord. Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel concerning the shepherds who are tending My people: “You have scattered My flock and driven them away, and have not attended to them; behold, I am about to attend to you for the evil of your deeds,” declares the Lord.  Jeremiah 23:1-2.  (Please also see Jeremiah 29:8-9 and Jeremiah 23:11-32.)”
