Luke 24:27 Exploring Part 1 of 2 ETR


Luke 24:27 Then he began to explain everything that had been written about himself in the Scriptures. He started with the books of Moses and then he talked about what the prophets had said about him.

Deuteronomy 18:15-22 The LORD your God will send to you a prophet. This prophet will come from among your own people, and he will be like me. You must listen to him.

God will send you this prophet because that is what you asked him to do. When you were gathered together at Mount Horeb, you be came frightened and said, 'Don't let us hear the voice of the LORD our God again! Don't let us see that great fire or we will die!'

"The LORD said to me, 'What they ask for is good.

I will send them a prophet like you. This prophet will be one of their own people. I will tell them what he must say, and he will tell the people everything I command.

This prophet will speak for me, and I will punish anyone who refuses to listen to my commands.'

How to know False Prophets

"But a prophet might say something that I did not tell him to say. And he might tell people that he is speaking for me. If this happens, that prophet must be killed. Also a prophet might come that speaks for other gods. That prophet must also be killed.

You might be thinking, 'How can we know if something a prophet says is not from the LORD?

If a prophet says he is speaking for the LORD, but what he says does not happen, you will know that the LORD did not say it. You will know that this prophet was speaking his own ideas. You don't need to be afraid of him.
