"Deu 18:20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
Deu 18:21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
Deu 18:22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

Jer 23:14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah."
The false prophets are not only those who presume to speak for piety and false modesty, while flaunting extravagance and behaving not only indecently, but they treat others with harshness. They lack empathy for their brothers because they have lost their humanity.
No, these are not all the false prophets, for there have been many sent amongst us. There are the false prophets who broadcast false information and through deceit and trickery steal the truth from people's minds. The news agencies bought by political and business monopolies have strangled the truth and deluded the masses.
These are the Times we live in, a time where information lies at our fingertips, but the truth gets lost because of the lies.
All life is a drama, there are levels of truth illustrated in each level of reality. What happens in the world reflects what happens in the mind.
It was Jesus Christ who advised "And the Truth shall set you Free." He spoke to his fellow man; they were captives of an alien government. Always claiming to be not of this world, Jesus identified with the spirit of the law and not the letter of the law, so he identified with the spirit of truth. He offered spiritual freedom.
“Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God” (1 Peter 2:16, ESV
