(ψενδοπροφήτης , a pseudo-prophet), i.e., one falsely professing to come as a prophet or ambassador from God, a false teacher (Matthew 7:15; Matthew 24:11; Matthew 24:24, etc.; comp. Test. 12 Patr. page 614; Josephus, Ant. 8:13, 1; 10:7, 3; War, 6:5, 2). (See PROPHET). In Revelation 16:13, the term is distinctively used, "the false prophet," with reference to the mythological system of paganism, the second "beast" (q.v.), supporting the first or secular power of Rome; allegorically interpreted of the impostor Mohammed (Mathes, De pseudoprophetismo Hebraorum, L.B. 1859, 8vo)
