15 “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? 17 So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 So then, you will know them by their fruits.
This Bible passage with the sermon on the mount is talking about false prophets, but many people don’t know what a prophet is. So I will teach you what a prophet is. The definition of prophet : an individual who has contact with a divine being. The word of God called Abraham a prophet, even if not many see him that way, God called him a prophet. (Genesis 20:7) Abraham heard God’s voice, Abraham told others what the Lord said, he was hearer & a messenger of God, a prophet. The Old Testament is full of true & false prophets & tells us how to identify them, just like Jesus says we will know them by their fruits. Deuteronomy 13 gives the reader of God’s word what the fruits of a good prophet & false is.
Deuteronomy 13:1-4 “If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, 2 and the sign or the wonder comes true, concerning which he spoke to you, saying, ‘Let us go after other gods (whom you have not known) and let us serve them,’ 3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams; for the Lord your God is testing you to find out if you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. 4 You shall follow the Lord your God and fear Him; and you shall keep His commandments, listen to His voice, serve Him, and cling to Him.
Amos 7:14 Then Amos answered, and said to Amaziah:“I was no prophet, Nor was I a son of a prophet, But I was a sheep breeder And a tender of sycamore fruit. 15 Then the Lord took me ]as I followed the flock, And the Lord said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to My people Israel.’
