Significant Words and Comments:
Commentary on Revelation 9:10 (30 January 2008): “They had tails” is another Yehuveh-defined phrase: “The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail. For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.” A prophet is any person who speaks Yehuveh’s words, anyone who tells another person what Yehuveh has said. Lying prophets claim to tell what Yehuveh says, but lie about it. “Lying lips are abomination to Yehuveh,” and He will deal most severely with these deceitful instructors. “I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in My name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; which think to cause My people to forget My name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten My name for Baal.” “Then Yehuveh said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in My name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. Therefore thus saith Yehuveh concerning the prophets that prophesy in My name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.” Isaiah 9:15-16; Proverbs 12:22; Jeremiah 23:25-27; 14:14-15 [Also, Isaiah 28:17; 29:10; 1 Kings 13:18; 22:22-24; Jeremiah 5:31; 23:9, 14-15; 27:9-10, 14-15; 28:15-16; 29:21-22; Ezekiel 13:1-16, 19, 22; Hosea 9:8; Zechariah 13:2-5; Malachi 2:9].
In the most practical terms, who are these lying prophets? Any person—be they pastor, priest, rabbi, teacher, politician, parent, neighbor, or friend—who tells you what Yehuveh says without solid Scriptural evidence. When someone says, “Sunday is the Lord’s Day!” without having a clear Scriptural understanding of time-keeping or of the true significance of “the great and terrible day of the Yehuveh,” he or she is lying to you. He or she is a false prophet, a tail! Any televangelist who claims, “It doesn’t matter how you live, the Lord will heal you!” is speaking directly contrary to Yehuveh’s words in Exodus 15:26: “If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of Yehuveh thy Elohim, and wilt do that which is right in His sight, and wilt give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee.” He is a lying prophet, a tail! Joel 2:31.
