In the biblical narrative, certain individuals were chosen by God to speak on His behalf, guiding His people and declaring His will. As noted in 2 Peter 1:21, these prophets were "moved by the Holy Spirit" to proclaim God's message, and Amos 3:7 highlights the importance of their role in revealing God's plans. The New Testament warns of false prophets, with 1 John 4:1 and Matthew 7:15 urging believers to test the spirits and beware of deceivers, while Matthew 24:24 foretells the rise of false prophets in the end times. Through their writings and testimonies, the prophets continue to inspire and instruct God's people.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world.
For no such prophecy was ever brought forth by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
Surely the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets.
Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible.
