Title: it’s not wise for us to hold onto the wrong leadership satan have many people outside calling themselves biblical leadership. They are not biblical leadership on my journey i let go of many false prophets, who come to me in sheep’s clothing.
The phrase "a wolf in sheep's clothing" describes a dangerous or malicious person who pretends to be harmless, friendly, or kind to trick others wanting to trick a person is ungodly they wear a false mask of innocence to hide their true bad intentions.
Context in the Sermon on the Mount
The Warning: Right before verse 16, Jesus tells his followers to watch out for false prophets who wear "sheep's clothing" but are actually fierce wolves inside.
The Metaphor: Jesus points out that nature is consistent. A plant produces only what kind of plant it truly is; thornbushes cannot grow grapes.
Matthew 7:15-20
You Will Know Them by Their Fruits
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
Understanding the Metaphor
Jesus uses this simple farming example to explain how to judge a person's true character:
Actions over words: A person's behavior shows who they really are inside, just as a plant shows what kind of plant it is by the food it grows.
Good trees and bad trees: A healthy, good tree makes good fruit. A sick or bad tree makes bad fruit.
No mixing: You cannot get good fruit from a harmful plant.
Key Takeaways
Inward vs. Outward: False teachers may look and sound harmless at first, but their long-term actions and teachings reveal their true character.
Natural Outcome: Good character naturally produces good choices, while a corrupt heart eventually shows harmful results.
A need to know: hurt people hurt people people that been victims look for people to victimize healed people help people heal we will know them by the fruit. Our fruit is our fruit represents the outward actions, speech, and moral character of a person (such as kindness, truth, and love) rather than their mere claims or outward appearance pay attention on purpose people that’s playing roles get their lines.
