We continue with our meditations in The Book of Daniel, as we continue to dig into verse 14 of Chapter 10. It reads,
"Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision refers to many days yet to come.”"
The word "afraid" in Deuteronomy 18:22 can also be termed to mean "respect, regard or held in honor." Placed back in the text, we see God telling us not to honor those who deceive us with prophecy, which comes from their minds' vanity. They are simply gambling with possible occurrences. Empty in themselves, they seek notoriety.
This is important, just like every other scripture. It is for our protection. A whole lot of people have taken this guidance for granted and have thus become willful captives of these false prophets. The internet is full of their abuses. Yet people, like "Sheep meant for the Slaughter," still follow. Why? They have been bewitched (hypnotized, under a spell).
God has already provided wise counsel. We must harness it. Jesus adds, "By their fruits, you will know them." That is our superpower. If we don't use it, we have ourselves to blame. God is not mocked. We each reap what we sow.
I know these false prophets use scriptures to confuse and enslave their victims. Scriptures like, "Touch not my anointed." Who is God's anointed? Only these false prophets, or God's house? What do you understand by 1 Peter 3:5? It reads,
"You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ."
You are the "You," not just these "false prophets." You are just as anointed as they are. Get over the fear factor, their superpower, but your downfall. Only agents of the devil use "fear" as a tool. God uses faith, not fear. Get on God's side and live.
The Saint.
