Lesson (or December 4, 1949
GOD is neither silent nor dead.
He has his spokesmen today.
We hear myriads of voices preach
ers, teachers, editors, columnists,
poets and politicians, all professing
to tell us the truth.:
When a man claims
to speak in the
name of truth, is
there any way by
which his claim
can be tested? It is
an old problem.
Away back in
Bible times every
prophet had his
rivals, the false nr. Foreman
prophets. The false
were far more - numerous, 'they
often had immense prestige and
government subsidies besides. How
was the common man to tell the
true prophets from the false?
Notion of Man or
Word of Go'd?
ONE DIFFERENCE between the
true and false prophets, of
course, was that the false ones
passed out their own ideas, while
the true ones gave voice to the
ideas of God. Some of the false
prophets even dug down Into what
we now call the subconscious, and
told their dreams as if they meant
something.
The false prophets of our own
times are still the people who draw
on their own minds, even on their
day-dreams, to furnish messages
for the people. The gypsy dream
books are still with us. Astrologers
flourish, and not always on the side
streets. All sorts of queer cults
profess to tell us what is coming
next and what we ought to dp.
Before we take a modern
"prophet" seriously we should
ask: Is what he is saying his
own Idea or God's idea? In this
20th century after Christ, it
should be easier to know God's"
ideas are than it waa 27 cen
turies ago in Jeremiah's time.
For now that Christ has come, we
can safely check all the self-styled
prophets with the measage and the
mind of Christ.
Is the voice of the people
the voice of Cod?
THE FALSE PROPHETS were
always popular, the true ones
seldom. Mere unpopularity does not
prove a man a true prophet; but
you may be sure that if a man
says only what people like to hear,
always tickling the ears and feed
ing the pride of his listeners, he is
no true spokesman for God.
Not that the true prophet is
always insulting his hearers.
The Lord's prophets often speak
comforting and welcome words,
to be sure. But a steady out
pouring of soothing-syrup is not
what we would expect from a
genuine prophet.
Man is often most proud when
he is most wrong; and then God has
to sweep the man down. Don't take
too seriously the men who merely
reinforce your prejudices and shore
up your pride; they are more likely
fafce prophets than true. The voice'
of the people is not always the will
of God.
Time is the Test
That great propliet Motes (Deut
18) had already given a practical
test of a true prophet: Does what
he says turn out to be true? Can he
really see into tomorrow? Alas, we
may have to wait until tomorrow
to find out for sure; but tomorrow
always comes, and when it comes,
the prophets of today will be shown
up for what they are, true or false.
Time is the test. Not, Is it likely?
Truth and Right are Twins
PERHAPS the worst feature of
the false prophets : who were
Jeremiah's .competitors' was their
real '-Immorality;! "Their course is
evil and their might is not right,"
he said -(23:10, American transla
tion). "They commit adultery and
walk in lies, -they-' strengthen the
bands of evildoers so that no one
turns from his evil ways", (v. 14).
'.; God's spokesman, can never
- also speak for the enemies of
, God. Whenever yon hear- any
:. one talking as if we could now
- get "beyond good and evil," or -:'
as if. the: Ten Commandments,
were something we had ont-'
grown, then yon may knew yon.
are listening to a false prophet.
There - are - no ;;new',,;"cominand
ments'but the one which sums up
all of them: Love one another,
Prophets of hate,' prophets of dis
sension, of lust, these may be speak
ing for themselves or for the devil
-but not for God.
