Did you know that if a prophet proved to be false his sentence was death? Or course there were, and are, plenty of false prophets who tickle the ears of influential people.
Want to know if a person is a real prophet? Look at their life. See if they glorify God, adhere to the Word of God, hold themselves accountable, live a humble life, seek only the
Kingdom of God.
