Deuteronomio 18:22

22 Si lo que el profeta proclame en nombre del SEÑOR no se cumple ni se realiza, será señal de que su mensaje no proviene del SEÑOR. Ese profeta habrá hablado con presunción. No le temas.

Deuteronomio 18:22 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 18:22

When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord
Says he comes from God, is sent by him, and has a commission from him to say so:

if the thing follow not, nor come to pass;
as the prophecy of Hananiah, ( Jeremiah 28:3 ) that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken; or otherwise it would have come to pass, unless when a condition is either expressed or implied, as the repentance or disobedience of a people; see ( Jeremiah 18:7-10 )

but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously;
in a bold and daring manner, with great impiety and impudence, out of his own head and heart, being a mere device and imagination of his own, which, not having the fear of God, he delivered as coming from the Lord:

thou shall not be afraid of him;
not only to reprove him for his wickedness, but also to punish him for it; showing no regard to the high character he assumes, nor to the great pretensions he makes to sanctity, knowledge, and familiarity with God.

Deuteronomio 18:22 In-Context

20 Pero el profeta que se atreva a hablar en mi nombre y diga algo que yo no le haya mandado decir, morirá. La misma suerte correrá el profeta que hable en nombre de otros dioses”.

21 »Tal vez te preguntes: “¿Cómo podré reconocer un mensaje que no provenga del SEÑOR?”

22 Si lo que el profeta proclame en nombre del SEÑOR no se cumple ni se realiza, será señal de que su mensaje no proviene del SEÑOR. Ese profeta habrá hablado con presunción. No le temas.
