Do not heed the words of a false prophet.
This mitzvah forbids accepting or following the message of a false prophet, even if he performs signs or wonders. Hashem allows such individuals as a test of Israel’s loyalty, to see if we remain faithful to Him alone. Listening to or validating a false prophet undermines Torah and threatens the foundation of true prophecy.
