Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H5030 נָבִיא (navi): Prophet - H8267 שֶׁקֶר (sheqer): Falsehood, lie Usage: The term "pseudoprophétés" refers to an individual who falsely claims to speak on behalf of God or to possess divine inspiration. In the New Testament, it is used to describe those who deceive others by pretending to deliver messages from God, often leading people away from the truth of the Gospel. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, prophets were regarded as messengers of the divine, and their words were taken seriously by the community. However, the presence of false prophets was a significant concern in both Jewish and early Christian contexts. These individuals often sought personal gain, power, or influence by exploiting the trust of believers. The early church was particularly vigilant against false prophets, as they posed a threat to the purity and unity of the Christian faith. HELPS Word-studies 5578 pseudoprophḗtēs (from 5571 /pseudḗs, "false" and 4396 /prophḗtēs, "a prophet") – properly, a false prophet; someone pretending to speak the word of the Lord (prophesy) but in fact is phony (an imposter), acting as a wolf in sheep's clothing. 5578 /pseudoprophḗtēs ("a false prophet") specializes in "the art of misimpression," like about how they were "commissioned" by the Lord to touch the world with their message. But when in fact, they operate by self and for self so they must be exposed for what they are – and are not!
