Jeremiah 28:10

"As for the prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet happens, then the prophet will be known, that the LORD has truly sent him.”"

Key Reflection

This verse highlights the test of a true prophet's authenticity through their prophecies coming to fruition. If a prophet speaks of peace and it actually occurs, then one can conclude that the prophet is genuinely sent by the LORD.
