False teaching produces false hope even though it may seem like the real thing: "Thus says the Lord of hosts:'Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you, filling you with vain hopes. They speak visions of their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord, 'It shall be well with you'; and to everyone who stubbornly follows his own heart, they say, 'No disaster shall come upon you."' (Jeremiah 23:16-17). When so called people of God speak something in God's name that He has not spoken to them there is great destruction.
