True and False Prophets
BibleProject
Tension of Representation in Spiritual Narratives
The Hebrew Bible presents Israel's family story from the perspective of a minority, specifically the prophets loyal to Yahweh and the covenant. This narrative contrasts with that of powerful figures like kings and priests who had their own prophets and stories, reflecting an inherent tension over who truly speaks for God. This dynamic, rooted in Israel's identity as a chosen people, mirrors contemporary sectarian disputes about divine representation, suggesting that the impulse to label someone as a false prophet may stem from longstanding historical patterns of conflict in interpreting spiritual authority.
