1Ki 22:19 | MHM | STEP | v. 19-23 : Micaiah explained why the other prophets were telling Ahab to go to battle. He described a vision where he saw the Lord on His throne, and spirits coming before Him (1 Kings 22:19, 20 ). God allowed a lying spirit to persuade Ahab’s prophets, so that Ahab would be led to his ruin (1 Kings 22:21, 22 ). God is not the author of lies, but He sometimes lets people be deceived as a punishment when they reject the truth (Job 12:16; 2 Thessalonians 2:11, 12 ). Micaiah reminded the kings that God rules over all, even over the plans of nations and kings. He also warned that false prophets are dangerous, because they can lead people to destruction (Revelation 20:7, 8 ). Those who reject God’s truth are at great risk.
