Isaiah against mediums: Consult God's instruction and the testimony of warning. Isaiah 8:20

Like all the prophets Isaiah taught the importance of the spiritual gift of fear of God (constancy, firmness, devotion) and the trust in God, because only he as the wise creator of all things can ensure the true blessings for man.
Isaiah lived in difficult times, times in which the prophets had to bear witness to a skeptical people who doubted everything. However, this did not prevent Isaiah, with his ability to perceive the hidden things of God, from prophesying to King Hezekiah a great victory against his enemy Sennacherib, the tyrant of the Assyrian empire who sought to destroy the Kingdom of Judah.
But Isaiah also prophesied the fall and destruction of the Kingdom of Israel with its magnificent capital Samaria, its kings had as a practice, to consult necromancers and soothsayers, and Isaiah condemned these acts, only God should be feared and not the dead. These practices came from paganism, many kings of Israel like Ahab had foreign wives and they had introduced, among other things, the cult of Baal, not to mention what King Jeroboam had done with the golden calves.
This is why Isaiah warned Samaria of its error, those who trust in heresies have their ruin assured, and with these words, he taught this spiritual truth:
"When someone tells you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living? Consult God's instruction and the testimony of warning. If anyone does not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn. Distressed and hungry, they will roam through the land; when they are famished, they will become enraged and, looking upward, will curse their king and their God." Isaiah 8:19-21.
