Jeremiah 28:9 (KJV) True or False?

Jeremiah 28:9 (KJV)
The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him.

Nothing has changed in regards to the preacher. There were false prophets in the days of the Old Testament just as there are false teachers and preachers in our day. 

• Just like today, the majority followed the false prophets. 
• Just like our day, the false prophets brought the more popular, easy to hear, comforting messages. 
• Just like today it would have been difficult to know which was true and which was false. 
• Just like today, the true prophet pointed out the false and the false accused the true. 

The standard for the true prophet was exacting. If his message came to pass, he was a true prophet. If not, he was a false prophet and to be rejected. 

I believe it is much easier to tell the true from the false today. Today’s message must be from God’s Word.

• Every Christian can possess the Bible and study it for himself. 
• Every Christian can hear from the Holy Ghost and confirm if the preacher’s message is true. Therefore,
• Every Christian will stand before God and give account if they chose the false over the true.
