jeremiah 28:9 The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him.

jeremiah 28:9 "The prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then that prophet will be known [as] one whom the LORD has truly sent."

9. peace--Hananiah had given no warning as to the need of conversion, but had foretold prosperity unconditionally. Jeremiah does not say that all are true prophets who foretell truths in any instance (which De 13:1, 2, disproves); but asserts only the converse, namely, that whoever, as Hananiah, predicts what the event does not confirm, is a false prophet. There are two tests of prophets: (1) The event, De 18:22. (2) The word of God, Isa 8:20.

jeremiah 28:9 "The prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then that prophet will be known [as] one whom the LORD has truly sent."
