“And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;”
And if the sign or wonder spoken of takes place, and the prophet says, 'Let us follow other gods' (gods you have not known) 'and let us worship them' — the seduction is coupled with efficacy: the prophet's sign comes true, but the prophetic message directs toward apostasy. Truth of sign is not identical with truth of message.
