False vs True Prophets
 

Deuteronomy 13
 
 1.  If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, and
 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.
 

 
And, if ALL prophecies have NOT come to pass..................
 
KJV Deuteronomy 18:17-22
 17.  And the Lord said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
 18.  I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
 19.  And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
 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.

To: Elsie

The prophecies I point to were given by men who bid us follow the God we have known, the All-Holy Trinity, the Father who is without beginning, the Son, even Our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, who spake by the prophets, One God, not “other gods”, and they came to pass. So your point is?

I would also note that “if the thing follow not nor come to pass” must be tempered with the case of the Holy Prophet Jonah, who was so successful in the main point of prophecy — the call to repentance — that the Lord, seeing the repentance of the Ninevites, did not destroy Nineveh.
