I am tired of false prophets,
Who speak from their own minds,
They claim they talk for God,
But they wear spiritual blinds.

They promise political victory,
God will bless my coming year,
Of one thing I am most certain,
From the Lord they do not hear.

They say Jesus is coming soon,
Yes I've heard it for fifty years,
But all their failed prophecies,
Bring so many people to tears.

The Lord warned us about them,
You will find it in Matthew 7,
If these deceivers approach you,
Beware of their false leaven.

God's Word speaks so plainly,
So don't be left in the dark,
It says a true Prophet of God,
Will just never miss the mark.

His words will come to pass,
Of this we can be most sure,
But as for all those others,
We should simply just ignore.

Bible Study Resources:

This poem is based on the following key Bible verses:

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."


"And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them."


"And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know."


"My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation."


"But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him."


"Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them."


"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."


"God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged."
