Deuteronomy 13:2
“and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, “Let us go after other gods” (which you have not known) “and let us serve them”;”
What does Deuteronomy 13:2 mean?
When someone performs a miracle or predicts something that comes true, it can be tempting to follow them, especially if they're charismatic or impressive. This verse is part of Moses' warning to the Israelites that they shouldn't trust a miracle worker or prophet simply because their signs work—the real test is whether they're leading people toward God or away from Him. Even genuine supernatural events don't prove someone is sent by God if their message contradicts what God has already revealed. It's a practical reminder that spiritual deception can look convincing on the surface, and we need to evaluate teachers by where they're actually pointing people, not just by the impressive things they can do.
