Deu 13:1-4

“If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder,

and the sign or the wonder comes true, concerning which he spoke to you, saying,
‘Let us go after other gods (whom you have not known) and let us serve them,’

you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams;
for the LORD your God is testing you to find out if you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

“You shall follow the LORD your God and fear Him; and you shall keep His commandments, listen to His voice, serve Him, and cling to Him.

The Lord would test them as to whether they loved Him.

In this example, it would be through a prophet/dreamer of dreams.

The prophet would speak.
He would provide a sign or wonder to verify his word.
If the word was to pursue other gods, then they would know that the Lord was testing.
The word of the prophet was incorrect, even if it had attesting signs and wonders.

Remember, these gods were/are real.
They are not fake.
They are not fiction.
They are not myth.
They are divine beings who have rebelled against the Most High God.

These gods would have prophets.
They would have signs and wonders.
Yet, they are not the Most High God.
They will seek to lead man to worship and serve them.

The Lord reiterates again…
Follow the Lord your God.
Fear the Lord.
Keep His commandments.
Listen to His voice.
Serve Him.
Cling to Him.

Cling to Him?
That is “new”.

Do we cling to Him?
