If you bristle as the thistle, If you scorn quite like the thorn-- Though you wear the cloak of sheep, You are ravening down deep. If you spout many words out, If your fruit is in dispute-- Though you claim you're a prophet, Your words will never profit. If the tree's good the fruit's good; If the tree's bad the fruit's bad; A false prophet's a bad tree Whose fruits will be plain to see. I'm so blessed to simply rest In Christ's warning of wolves rav'ning-- "Beware of false prophets," said He, "Know them," "By their fruits," simply. As there are no figs on thistles, As there are no grapes on thorns, I'm sure where "prophets" bristle They're as false as one who scorns. Pay no heed to their "Godspeed," Ignore their speech, I would beseech; For they'll be cast into the flames With all who followed, calling names. -- GC. | Christ warned His disciples: "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." Here is a test, and, ... you can apply it if you will. You need not go in uncertainty and doubt. ... {4T 232.1} |
