TSK · 1 Timothy 4:2

Then the old prophet said,“I too am a prophet like you. And an angel has told me in a message from the LORD,‘Bring him back with you to your house so he can eat food and drink water.’” But he had lied to him.

The leaders and the highly respected people are the head, the prophets who teach lies are the tail.

But I see the prophets of Jerusalem doing something just as shocking. They are unfaithful to me and continually prophesy lies. So they give encouragement to people who are doing evil, with the result that they do not stop their evildoing. I consider all of them as bad as the people of Sodom, and the citizens of Jerusalem as bad as the people of Gomorrah.

Toward the end of their rule, when rebellious acts are complete, a rash and deceitful king will arise.

For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what should not be done.

So we are no longer to be children, tossed back and forth by waves and carried about by every wind of teaching by the trickery of people who craftily carry out their deceitful schemes.

They will maintain the outward appearance of religion but will have repudiated its power. So avoid people like these.

For they are the spirits of the demons performing signs who go out to the kings of the earth to bring them together for the battle that will take place on the great day of God, the All-Powerful.
