“And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?”
When mediums and spiritists whisper from the dust, people should turn instead to inquire of the LORD—a prohibition of necromancy and spiritism that establishes God's living word as the sole legitimate source of revelation and guidance. The irony of seeking the dead for guidance when living God is available reveals the spiritual confusion of those who reject prophetic word for supernatural speculation. This verse establishes the hierarchy of revelation: the living God who speaks through His prophets supersedes all other sources of knowledge, whether demonic or ancestral.
