A Prophet Proclaims in the Name of God, in the Bible

 

A Prophet Proclaims

in the Name of the Lord,

in the Bible

If a man does not have the testimony of the promises or

of their fulfillment, yet he still seeks his own glory and calls himself

a pastor sent by God, then such man is a false pastor (Dt 18:22).

God makes known His true Way in this manner in the bible.  He promises it in advance through ancient prophets, and when it is preached to the entire world (Mt 24:14), He fulfills the promises through the promised pastor, and finally makes known the things He fulfilled. 

• Deu 18:21, 22

21. You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord ?”

 

22.  If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed.
