The true prophet is usually the one with few followers and many enemies.,Because that prophet or worker of divination, speaks truth without having to have the words said, rationalized by later generations of followers.

It is easier to spot the false prophet. Read Deut 18 and Jeremiah 28. I will paraphrase them for you.
A true prophet is not very popular. That is because he tells people things they do not want to hear but that they need to hear. He often tells them doom and gloom are coming. He tends to be a loner, a bit of an outcast. If he does give a prophecy of something good, it comes about in a reasonable amount of time.
A false prophet on the other hand tends to be popular. He tells people things they love to hear but they really don't need that information. He has a large following and makes prophecy of good things but they do not come true in a reasonable amount of time.
Also, a true prophet does not negate or contradict the works of those who came before. He does not take a rock solid version of the Golden Rule and weaken it. He certainly does not stick a loophole in it.
So based upon two references in the Bible AND how Jesus contradicted those who came before AND how he weakened the Golden Rule, he was not a true prophet.
And if not a true prophet, he was not a true messiah or son of God.

Well, after Jesus Christ had ascended to heaven and after the death of the apostles, Never again would they have a prophet keeping them in direct contact with God.
Only the Apostles and Prophets were chosen to reveal God's will to mankind mention in Eph. 3:5
Only the apostles and prophets were made in this manner and they also could speak in tongues, prophesy and work miracles but could not pass the power to others. Acts 8:4-6, 14-19
False Apostles and False Prophet could not speak in tongues, prophesy and work miracles.
The Apostles and Prophets and they alone, were the chosen ambassadors of Christ through which we are reconciled to God. 2 Cor. 5:20
When the Apostles and Prophets approached their deaths they did not give successors to take their places instead left their inspired writings "The Bible" for us.
The words of Jesus were spoken to the APOSTLES ONLY. There is no mention of successors in the verses.
False Apostles and False Prophet have NO authority because he is NOT inspired of the Holy Spirit nor are they eyewitnesses of JESUS CHRIST. John 20:22-23; Acts 1:8, 21-26.
False Apostles and False Prophet is "NOT" promised the power from on high nor commanded to wait in Jerusalem to receive it. Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4,8
False Apostles and False Prophet cannot prove their authority by speaking in tongues, prophesying and working miracles. 2 Cor. 12:12
They are NOT the chosen ambassadors who were selected to deliver God's message or "the faith" to mankind. Eph. 3:3-4; Jude 3
They cannot be successors to the Apostles and Prophets because the only infallible succession to them are the inspired writings. 2 Pet. 1:15; 3:1; 2 Tim.
The words of Christ quoted were not addressed to any Popes or Bishops and it is sinful and wrong to apply the passage to them.

If what he says comes true! Like Daniel all the other stuff he said came true. Daniel 2:44 in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will last forever.

1 John 4:1-3 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
