“The True Prophets vs. The Alphabet Media Groups?”

John 10:12
But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them.

John 10:13
The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep.

Luke 6:26
Woe to you when all men speak well of you, For so did their fathers to the false prophets.

Mark 13:22
For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

Matthew 24:10-12 New King James Version
10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.

“Jeremiah Johnson, a 33-year-old self-described prophet, was one of the few evangelical Christians who took Donald J. Trump’s political future seriously back in 2015.”
“This track record created a loyal audience of hundreds of thousands of people who follow him on social media and hang on his predictions about such topics as the coronavirus pandemic, the makeup of the Supreme Court, and the possibility of spiritual revival in America. And they took comfort ahead of the presidential election last fall when Mr. Johnson shared a prophetic dream of Mr. Trump stumbling while running the Boston Marathon, until two frail older women emerged from the crowd to help him over the finish line.”
“So when Joseph R. Biden Jr. was certified as the winner of the election, Mr. Johnson had to admit he had let his followers down.”
“I was wrong, I am deeply sorry, and I ask for your forgiveness,” he wrote in a detailed letter he posted online. “I would like to repent for inaccurately prophesying that Donald Trump would win a second term as the President of the United States.”

False Prophecy is the “FAKE NEWS” of Religion https://franciscanmissionaries.com/editorial-false-prophecy-fake-news-religion/

“False prophecy is the “fake news” of religion.  Those who spread it are false prophets, not true prophets.  Since false prophecy is deceptive and based on lies, it cannot originate with the God of Truth.”
“False prophets are eloquent preachers of falsehood, no matter how much they may not credit or recommend themselves.  The result of their fake predictions is a heightened, but false, sense of expectation that will ineffectively be disappointed.  It makes Christianity look foolish and injures the faith of those who put their trust in them.”

Before 'Fake News' Came False Prophecy By Eric Weiskott

“The revelation that fake news deceived voters in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election generated real outrage in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s electoral victory. The top fake news stories garnered more clicks than the top real news stories on Facebook in the final three months of the campaign season. Fake news and other campaign fantasies led Oxford Dictionaries to select ‘post-truth’ as the word of the year for 2016.
“But stories that gain popularity by presenting readers’ fantasies and nightmares as current events are hardly new.
In medieval Britain, national and local political action was guided by prophecy. Prophecies were invoked by rebel leaders, appropriated by ruling elites, and, ultimately, censored by a government fearful of their disruptive potential. Prophecy’s effectiveness in shaping medieval politics offers a rejoinder to those who suggest that fake news and other political falsehoods can be ignored, or laughed off. Prophecy, like fake news, worked as persuasive writing because it told people what they wanted to believe or spoke to their darkest fears.”

It is Written:
“Who is he who speaks and it comes to pass, when the Lord has not commanded it?” (Lamentations 3:37 NKJV)

“And if you say in your heart, ‘How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?’— when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him” (Deuteronomy 18:21-22 NKJV)
