BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS

Matthew 7:15-17
Verse 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Verse 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Verse 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. TM 110 While warning men to beware of accepting anything unless it is truth, we should also warn them not to imperil their souls by rejecting messages of light, but to press out of the darkness by earnest study of the word of God. (TM 110) 2 TG 24:22 There is but one thing that her people have been taught to look for, and that is to look out for false prophets, and as the people do not realize that there can be no false where there is no true, can you not see their inconsistency? And what terrible self-deception

1.

- for a people to think themselves right when they are all wrong! -Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 3, pg. 253. I say terrible, and I mean terrible, because if they keep on imagining that they are rich and increased with goods, in need of nothing, while they are destitute of everything, they will certainly be spued out. If they do awake to their poverty, it will be the greatest miracle since the beginning of the world. I say it will be the greatest, because they feel no need of Gods help through Inspiration, expect none, are prejudiced, suspicious, and fearful of everyone that disagrees with their preconceived idea. They are therefore even harder to reach with the saving Truth for today than were the Jews of yesterday. (2 TG 24:22) EW 138 Again: We are forewarned that there would be false prophets in the last days, and the Bible gives a test by which to try their teachings in order that we may distinguish between the true and the false. The grand test is the law of God, which is applied both to the prophesyings and to the moral character of the prophets. If there were to be no true prophesyings in the last days, how much easier to have stated the fact, and thus cut off all chance for deception, than to give a test by which to try them, as if there would be the genuine as well as the false.

2.

In Isaiah 8:19, 20, is a prophecy of the familiar spirits of the present time, and the law is given as a test: To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. Why say, If they speak not, if there was to be no true spiritual manifestation or prophesying at the same time? Jesus says, Beware of false prophets.... Ye shall know them by their fruits. Matthew 7:15, 16. This is a part of the Sermon on the Mount, and all can see that this discourse has a general application to the church through the gospel age. False prophets are to be known by their fruits; in other words, by their moral character. The only standard by which to determine whether their fruits are good or bad, is the law of God. Thus we are brought to the law and to the testimony. True prophets will not only speak according to this word, but they will live according to it. One who speaks and lives thus, I dare not condemn. (EW 138)

WHO ARE THEY, THE FALSE PROPHETS?

2 TG 41:7, 8 This scripture, you see, reflects the tragedy which took place on the top of Carmel in the days of Elijah. Here we are given the hint that there is to be another show-down between the prophet of God and the prophets of Baal. The prophets of Baal in our day even

3.

- boast that they are not inspired, that what they teach and preach is what they themselves discovered by deep study and research! They even sneer at those who claim to be inspired of the Lord! They seem to think that God has forsaken the earth; that He cares not to send His Spirit as in former time; that men are now so wise that what the Spirit can do for them, they themselves can do even better! The truth is, though, that if there ever was a need for inspired interpreters of the Scriptures, it is today while many winds of doctrines are blowing from all directions, bringing in confusion, dissension, and disaster everywhere. No one sees eye to eye! (2 TG 41:7, 8) 6 TR 71 Obvious it is that the opposition is engendered and nurtured by self-appointed leaders who avowedly laying no claim to inspiration are thereby unwittingly crying out that the Lord has not sent them! Yet neither they nor their adherents perceive either the irony or the folly of their position! Hence sleeping preachers preaching to a sleeping people! -- Testimonies, Vol. 2, p. 337. When they find themselves face to face with either the overflowing scourge (Isa. 28:18) of the final visitation of the wrath of God (Rev. 15:1), they will be stabbed with the tragedy of futile realization.

4.

- That which now from a distance appears to them, mirage-like, an ocean of grace, will then inescapably engulf them in abysmal ruin -- eternally! (6 TR 71) Satans subversives have sought to sever the lines of communication between the Spirit of Truth and the people of God. ( WHR 54) Flood is the same as water, which means people (in the church) unconverted, whom Satan is using to cause the church to be carried away in a very quiet manner, so that no one would be suspicious of the great deception. (1 SR 151) 2 TG 24:24 Finally, what could be the Dragons flood that proceeds out of his mouth if not Dragon-prompted interpreters of the Scriptures through whom he expects to cause the Church to be carried away? Truly the self-appointed prophets in Israel of today are more in number than were the prophets in Elijahs day. Here is a fact which only deaf and blind persons would try to deny. No, I am not taking pleasure in unveiling this Truth, I do it only because I must. God wants His people to have the Truth, and so I have no alternative but to tell it. (2 TG 24:24) 1 Ans. 65 Thus we see that the Reformation, which, originally under the direction of inspired men, lifted the church out of one morass, later under the direction

- of uninspired men, plunged her into another, wherein she has been floundering ever since. And unless we let the Truth extricate us from this fatal bog of confusion, we cannot defeat the Enemy of Inspiration in his tireless and powerful efforts to pervert the implements of our salvation into weapons for our destruction. (1 Ans. 65) This is an absolute fact. After V.T. Houteff died in Feb. 5, 1955, the DSDA organization in which originally under the direction of Gods inspired servant, later, after the prophet died fall under the direction of uninspired men the Dragons Flood. They are influential men, which Satan is using to cause Gods people to be carried away in a very quiet manner, so that no one would be suspicious of the great deception. In this way he attempts to deceive the very elect (144,000) if it were possible. (1 SR 155) History repeats of Itself. The prophets of Baal lead Gods people into the greatest fallacy and folly of the day. (GCS 30, 31) The SROD declared plainly There is but one thing that her people have been taught to look for, and that is to look out for false prophets, and as the people do not realize that there can be no false where there is no true, can you not see their inconsistency? (2 TG 24:22) The prophets of Baal in our day even boast that they were not inspired, that what they teach and preach

6/

- is what they themselves discovered by deep study and research! They even sneer at those who claim to be inspired of the Lord! ( 2 TG 41:7) They are the self-appointed leaders who avowedly laying no claim to inspiration are thereby unwittingly crying out that the Lord has not sent them! Yet neither they nor their adherents perceive either the irony or the folly of their position! (6 TR 71) But the time will come, that these sleeping multitudes in the churches awake from their spiritual insensibility and find that the shepherds whom they have implicitly trusted for their salvation had deceived all those who followed them. (1 SC 14:6) These prophets and priests of Baal are very clever. Why? Because, though they were the very ones who become involved in the practice of altering the message of the ROD, talk the loudest about exercising great care not to be enmeshed by false doctrine. And, to back up their talk, they very carefully keep themselves aloof from everything new which does not come through themselves. (5 TR 14) The SROD made it so plain, that the very word Inspiration, in its theological significance, means to communicate Divine interpretations free from mens adulteration (private interpretation). (3 Ans. 29, 30)

- For all, there exists in this connection one great need: the Spirit of Truth, Whose right alone it is to interpret the Scriptures. (3 TR 91) And since that Spirit is Inactive apart from man, by which in order to activate His office to interpret the Scriptures, the Spirit needs to work through the human agent. ( 2 TG 24:23, 24) And Satans subversives have sought to sever the lines of communication between the Spirit of Truth and the people of God. ( WHR 54) The SROD made it so plain that we cannot of ourselves, discover the hidden truths of the Bible, but on the contrary, that we should wait for the Spirit of Truth to come to teach us, which teaching is called Inspiration. ( 2 SC 12:6) But the prophets of Baal declared that they could be able to obtain the truth through deep study and research. (2 TG 41:7) They are the men who scoff at the idea of Inspiration. (1 TG 5:14) They even sneer at those who claim to be inspired of the Lord. (2 TG 41:7) And since it is only through the channel of Inspiration which God can interpret the Scriptures, communicate with His people reveal the Truth and unmask error such spirit that object the manifestation of Inspiration is instigated by the devil, an attempt to put God out of sight. (3 Ans. 30)

8,

2 SC 3, 4:11 it follows that the ultimate aim behind anyones objection against inspired truths instead of against uninspired ones is to put God out of sight and bring men to the front cutting off the only channel by which God can communicate with His people and by which only He can interpret the Scriptures for His church and interpose the erroneous claims of men. (2 SC 3, 4:11) 2 TG 2:17 Let us not fool ourselves any longer. God cannot be mocked. He will not for ever forsake His sheep, neither will He for ever retain untrustworthy shepherds herding His sheep. He will soon discharge them, and will demand that they give an account for their unfaithfulness. So it is that what a multitude of shepherds have failed to do, one shepherd, even David, will, in Gods hands, get done. (2 TG 2:17) Antitypical David is the simple means mentioned in TM 300. (8 TR 71) The voice of Inspiration declared clearly, that all these self -appointed shepherds (uninspired men), God will discharge them, and will demand that they give an account for their unfaithfulness. And since these self-appointed false shepherds want to forever retain herding Gods sheep they try to convince the people that there will be no more manifestation of Inspiration. Because the Devil knoweth, that through the channel

9,

- of Inspiration these Dragon prompted interpreters will be completely unmask. Then they hypocritically lift up V.T. Houteff by telling the people that V.T. Houteff is the last prophet. And by such declaration these prophets of Baal have more fun of wresting the SROD, for V.T. Houteff could not reprimand them while lying unconscious to his grave. But God cannot be mocked. Let us not fool ourselves any longer. God will not forever forsake His sheep. (2 TG 2:17) Accordingly, the antitypical Elijahs work, being in the spirit and power of typical Elijah, must therefore be similar to typical Elijahs work-restoring Truth and righteousness, and bringing judgment upon the false prophets and teachers in the antitypical day which in itself is the separating of the chaff from the wheat -- the work of the Judgment for the Living. (GCS 31) 8 TR 61-62 Since, for Gods honor and for the prosperity of His people, both Elijahs message and Davids reign took the lives of many (Elijahs message, the lives of the apostate teachers in Israel -- 1 Kings 18:40; and Davids reign, the lives of the heathen who defied God and His armies -- 1 Chronicles 22:6-8), therefore the work of Elijah particularly typifies the day of slaughter in the church, and the reign of David, the

10

- destruction of the heathen and the possession of the earth (Zech. 12:8, 9; Jer. 30:3, 9). Whereupon Christ (the son of David) shall visibly appear, take unto Himself His kingdom (Luke 19:15), and glorify it with everlasting peace (as typified by the peaceful reign of Davids son, Solomon). And in the days of these antitypical events shall be completely realized the promise. (8 TR 6162) 9 TR 43 As ancient David is in his grave, the king here promised must be an antitypical David, just as the Elijah of Malachi 4:5 must be an antitypical Elijah. Otherwise, in order to fulfill the prophecies, ancient David must necessarily rise from his grave, and ancient Elijah descend from Heaven. (9 TR 43) 2 TG 41:7, 8 Moreover, Amos by the eye of Inspiration looked down through the centuries, deep into the Christian era, and declared: Amos 1:2 - The Lord will roar from Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither. This scripture, you see, reflects the tragedy which took place on the top of Carmel in the days of Elijah.

11

- Here we are given the hint that there is to be another show-down between the prophet of God and the prophets of Baal. The prophets of Baal in our day even boast that they are not inspired, that what they teach and preach is what they themselves discovered by deep study and research! They even sneer at those who claim to be inspired of the Lord! They seem to think that God has forsaken the earth; that He cares not to send His Spirit as in former time; that men are now so wise that what the Spirit can do for them, they themselves can do even better! The truth is, though, that if there ever was a need for inspired interpreters of the Scriptures, it is today while many winds of doctrines are blowing from all directions, bringing in confusion, dissension, and disaster everywhere. No one sees eye to eye! (2 TG 41:7, 8) 1 SC 14:5, 6 True we are establishing our headquarters on this mount that is found in prophecy, but our stay here shall be very, very short, for He will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. (Rom. 9:28.) It might be interesting to Elder G. to know that the naming of our camp Mt. Carmel Center came about in the same way as the naming of our publications The Shepherds Rod, for we did not know before hand

12

- that it was in prophecy until after our attention was called to Mic. 7:14 and Amos 1:2. In the prophecy of Amos we read: The Lord will roar from Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither. With a few comments on the above scripture, any Bible student will recognize at a glance that it applies at the time of the end, as explained by the gospel prophet: And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lords house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills;...for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. (Isa. 2:2, 3), which in the language of Amos is, Utter His voice from Jerusalem. Looking to this same time Joel puts it as follows: And the Lord shall utter His voice before His army: for His camp is very great: for He is strong that executeth His word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; and who can abide it? (Joel 2:11.) As Amos says, The habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, it is obvious that Amos prophecy is yet future, for the word habitations (places) is in the plural form

13

- which cannot be applied to one shepherds habitation (denomination) but to all that be in existence at that time. The term shepherds means, as understood, the same as the ancient men which were before the house--the ministers. Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 5, p. 211. Note that the shepherds are not themselves to mourn but their habitations (their houses); that is, the membership of their churches, which fact reveals that it will be thus at the time when the sleeping multitudes in the churches awake from their spiritual insensibility and find that the shepherds whom they have implicitly trusted for their salvation had deceived all those who followed them. The prophet Jeremiah in the following words explains that this wailing by those who are thus deceived will be at the close of probation. For they shall say the harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. (Jer. 8:20.) That is, after the harvest, the time in which they could have been saved, they will realize that probationary time has closed. Then the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither. Hence, before that time the top of Carmel must have been green with much pasture, otherwise there would be nothing to wither; that is, though Carmel has now plenty of pasture (present truth), when probation closes it shall be deserted

14

- (wither), for says the Spirit of Prophecy: In the time of trouble we all fled from the cities and villages.-- Early Writings, p. 34. Thus shall the top of Carmel wither, and those who do not take heed to the word, To day if ye will hear His voice, harden not your heart, at length will be alarmed that their opportunity for accepting the truth has slipped away. Then in their hasty, frenzied effort to acquaint themselves with present truth which went forth from the top of Carmel, to their surprise they shall find that Carmel has finished its work, its inhabitants removed, and probation closed, at which time the inhabitants of Carmel can but repeat, the harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we have nothing for thee. Then it shall come to pass that They shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord. (Amos 8:12, 13, 11.) Oh, what a disappointment that will be! (1 SC 14:5, 6)

The only positive proof of Gods true Movement, must have a typical representation. As there is no type for that Movement which is false. ( 2 SR 255) Each Movement (which is of God) rises in fulfillment of time prophecy The fact that Israel after the flesh is a type (photograph), their experience must be duplicated in the true, otherwise there can be no type.

Truly God has graciously given us Truth that no others have. Inspiration declared: EW 124 The different parties of professed Advent believers have each a little truth, but God has given all these truths to His children who are being prepared for the day of God. He has also given them truths that none of these parties know, neither will they understand. Things which are sealed up to them, the Lord has opened to those who will see and are ready to understand. If God has any new light to communicate, He will let His chosen and beloved understand it, without their going to have their minds enlightened by hearing those who are in darkness and error. (EW 124)
