Satan is a liar and a master counterfeiter. He does not hesitate to transform himself into an angel of light,(2 Corinthians 11:4). So it should not surprise us to know that he also has many false prophets serving him, seeking to lead astray GOD's people. Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 show us how he fell from his original glorious state. He rebelled against GOD, and ever since he led our first parents astray by sinning, he has been trying to lead mankind to rebel against GOD.
Our GOD is a jealous GOD who will not share HIS glory with anyone. HE warned HIS earthly people against listening to anyone trying to lead them to follow and serve other gods, even if they would do signs and wonders to back up their proposal. HE termed such attempts revolt against HIMSELF and commanded that whoever might make such efforts be put to death. Also, Deuteronomy 18:21-22 shows us that if a prophet's word did not come to pass, it was not the Word of The LORD, but was the prophet's own presumption.
In 2013 we too are faced with many who try to win us away from simple obedience to GOD's WORD, The HOLY BIBLE. No matter how this is presented, it is revolt against GOD that we must categorically refuse. Our remedy for this is to love The LORD JESUS CHRIST with all our heart and soul, to fear HIM, to keep HIS commandments, to hear HIS Voice, to serve HIM, and to cleave to HIM. No matter what the wrong proposals are, we are to put evil away from our midst.
