Divination and false prophets

False prophecies and false prophets are rampant in these last of the last days.  One thing the internet has done, especially youtube and facebook, is give false prophets a platform to tickle the ears of the masses.  False prophets have one thing in common: they are narcissists that crave attention.  Some of them monetize their videos to try and make a living with their false prophecies.

Many of these false prophets are gnostics.  They believe they receive special messages "from god" that only they are given.  Gnosticism is the foundation believe of the apostate church and has been since the passing of the Apostles in the early church.

Second, Gnostics claim to possess an elevated knowledge, a “higher truth” known only to a certain few. Gnosticism comes from the Greek word gnosis which means “to know.” Gnostics claim to possess a higher knowledge, not from the Bible, but acquired on some mystical higher plain of existence. Gnostics see themselves as a privileged class elevated above everybody else by their higher, deeper knowledge of God.

Gnostics believe ... scripture having a deep, hidden meaning whose true message could only be understood through “secret wisdom” ...

Some of these false prophets have false dreams and visions on a daily basis that they claim are from Yahweh even though none of the prophecies they dream or have visions of come to pass:

Deuteronomy 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.
21  And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
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.

What most people do not understand is that sometimes a false prophet is correct and what they say DOES come to pass.  Yahweh allows the false prophet to have a true dream or vision in order to test and see if someone truly loves Him and will follow Him or if they will whore after the false prophet:

Deuteronomy 13
1  If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
2  And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
3  Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4  Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.

Some false prophets use divination for their false prophecies. Yahweh forbids divination

Deuteronomy 18
10  There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
11  Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

Yahweh will not only judge the false prophet, He will also judge those that listen to the false prophets:

Jeremiah 14
14  Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
15  Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.

Divination:
1. the practice of attempting to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge by occult or supernatural means.
2. augury; prophecy:
3. perception by intuition; instinctive foresight.

Many forms of "bible divination" is popular and much of it comes from kabbalah.  One is the "bible wheel"  (  http://www.biblewheel.com/GR/GR_Database.php ) which is a mix of gnosticism, satanism, and kabbalah in order to come up with "prophecies" based on gematria and Strong's numbers.  They seriously believe Strongs numbers were divinely inspired and years ago we had some heated debates about it.  Strong's denies that their numbering system is inspired.  Their prophecies have repeatedly failed.

There are numbers in the bible that have meaning although the misuse of those numbers to predict the future is divination (gematria) used by kabbalah and it is forbidden by Yahweh.

gematria
a cabbalistic system of interpretation of the Scriptures by substituting for a particular word another word whose letters give the same numerical sum.

Using the "bible codes" to predict the future is also divination and is forbidden by Yahweh.  There are those who support the divination because "it is in the bible so it must be okay to use divination using the bible" and "we can find stuff so it must be from Yahweh".  Yahweh forbids ALL divination and does not forbid it because it does not work but because it DOES work.  It is an opening gateway to demonic spirits and sometimes these spirits pretend to be deceased loved ones, "ascended masters" or "good angels".    They are DEMONS and will tell you what you want to hear even if it is a lie.

Forms of divination that are well known, are considered demonic by Christians, and that work include the ouija board, the demon games of "bloody Mary" and "Charlie Charlie", tarot cards, palm reading, water witching, etc.   Christians know that these types of divination are demonic and forbidden yet they accept divination using the bible?  They are very deceived.  Yahweh forbids any sort of divination and the form they are involved in is not an exception.   Those "Christians" that are involved in fortune telling - even the forms that use the bible - have opened their lives to demonic forces and so have those that whore after these false prophets.

The bible is not for private interpretation and everything to be learned is learned from a clear reading of the text, not hidden messages that kabbalists claim are from Yahweh.

2 Peter 1:20  Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

If you are involved in any form of divination - including gematria, bible wheels, bible codes, etc, you need to repent and ask Yahweh for forgiveness and to get the unclean spirits out of your life.  A "Christian" that is involved in such demonic activities is allowing demons to destroy their families, their lives, and their souls.
