What if Jesus were to say, "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard ... things God has prepared for them that love Him. Come, see mansion prepared for you." Notice a twinkle?
God said He would take wise in their own craft. If it were possible, they could deceive very elect. It just does not hold up with scripture.
They sought to know about God instead of knowing Him (II Co.2:13-14, II Ti.2:15).
The call of a prophet is to be on front line of spiritual battlefields, protecting God's children, Je. 23:22, He. 11:28.
"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try spirits whether they are of God:
because many false prophets are gone out into world.
They are of world: therefore speak they of world, and world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us.
Hereby know we spirit of truth, and spirit of error."
1 John 4:1, 5-6
