Today I will continue our expository study of the prophecy of Isaiah. As I did last week, before we actually get to the text of Isaiah, I want you to begin to think about the prophet and his unique role in the redemption of God. Therefore, in the sermon today I will develop the important distinctions between a true and false prophet. According to Scripture, false prophets, false teachers, false shepherds, and even false brethren are a plague in the midst of the people of God. God was so concerned about this in the Old Covenant theocracy that He prescribed severe consequences for those who proclaimed falsehood. They were to be put to death! In this sermon I will open the origin and motivation of both true and false prophecy, for that is where the issue rests. However, since there was the presence of both prophets in Israel, I will also explain how they could be tested to determine the true from the false. But there were also cones-quences from the words of both prophets, and this is why one was to be received, while the other was to be rejected – and then put out of business. My prayer is that God will be pleased to bless His holy word for the profit of His people as we begin this series!
