In an age of viral sermons, social media prophets, and global ministries, spiritual deception is no longer rare—it is widespread. In Thieves in the Temple: How to Identify False Prophets, Jerald L. Washington equips believers with biblical discernment to recognize and resist those who exploit the name of God for personal gain.
Drawing from the warnings of The Holy Bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ, this powerful work exposes how modern-day false prophets operate—through manipulation, prosperity-driven promises, and twisted interpretations of Scripture. With clarity and conviction, Washington reveals the tactics used to deceive the unsuspecting, including emotional appeals, “seed faith” fundraising, and prophetic claims that contradict the gospel.
This book will help you:
- Identify the biblical marks of false prophets (Matthew 7:15–23)
- Understand how Scripture is misused and distorted for financial gain
- Discern between true and false spiritual authority

- Stand firm in sound doctrine and biblical truth
