"He said to him, “I too am a prophet as you are, and an angel spoke to me by the word of the Lord, saying, ‘Bring him back with you to your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.’” (He was lying to him.)" v.18
Read chapter 13
A prophet lied to a prophet. The one prophet says the exact opposite words to the other prophet of what God said to him. In scripture it's noted that he was lying so it's not to show that God contradicts Himself. Yet how often we forget what God first said and think He changes His mind saying something complete different only days or hours later? The prophet that falls for the lie is then mauled by a lion from God's wrath of judgment of not heeding the Lord's command. It may seem harsh or hard to understand since he was deceived and we can't always understand the Lord's judgments other than that His is true and perfect. God doesn't act this way today because it is His time of absolute grace, the dispensation of grace, but will one day speak and His judgments will be in the earth. Today we even here and see Christians preaching opposite things. So how can we not be deceived from differing Godly men? KNOW GOD'S WORD. God's word will always win and trump.
