Just because someone claims that a person who professes to be a prophet of God—sent specifically to call believers in Jesus Christ to repentance and to come unto God—is a liar and a con-man, that accusation should not be immediately accepted as truth or as the faithful exposure of a false prophet. The scriptures establish a clear, repeated pattern: God’s covenant people, once they have drifted into false traditions, tares sown among the wheat, and wolves in sheep’s clothing within the fold, consistently mistake true prophets for deceivers, mock them, attack them, and often kill them.
This article explores that tragic pattern so that modern Christians may liken the scriptures unto themselves and avoid repeating the very mistakes that led previous generations of God’s people into apostasy and destruction.

In the aftermath of the American Civil War, personal accounts from soldiers offered raw glimpses into the brutal realities of conflict, far removed from romanticized histories. George Cary Eggleston’s Southern Soldier Stories captures the unvarnished experiences of Confederate troops, emphasizing not just battles but the everyday struggles against scarcity and deprivation. This excerpt from his collection, titled “Random Facts,” vividly illustrates the ingenuity and endurance of Southern soldiers amid profound shortages—of clothing, medicine, ammunition, and even food—highlighting how necessity forged both practical innovations and spiritual resilience. It serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war, where survival often depended on makeshift solutions and unyielding determination.
