God can even use a false prophet like Balim. The best of prophets can give a false prophecy like when I think it was Heziciah was told he had 15 days. to get his things in order. He turned to the wall and prayed and cried and the prophet was told before he left the courtyard to go back and tell him he had 15 years.

That’s pretty poor rationalization to excuse away false prophesy.
