He said to him, "I also am a prophet like you, and an angel spoke to him by the word of the Lord, saying, 'Bring him back with you to your house, that he may eat break and drink water." But he lied to him. I Kings 13:18
A prophet of Judah had been instructed by God to not associate with the false prophets of Israel. A false prophet told him an angel spoke to him and said it was O.K. anyway. The false prophet was lying for his own benefits. The result of those actions brought death to the true prophet of Judah. It was a sign to warn against the false prophets of Israel. When we have been instructed by God in His word, let's not be led astray by anyone who says they have a different, more up to date message from an angel or a spirit. There are many false prophets today as well who lie for their own benefit. Trust God
