“Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing! "


So much of what I read in Ezekiel, while being about Judah going into captivity, seems to describe so much of what I see going on in America today.  Check this out and I'll share a thought or two.

Ezekiel 13:3-14(NKJV)
Thus says the Lord GOD: “Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing! 
O Israel, your prophets are like foxes in the deserts. 
You have not gone up into the gaps to build a wall for the house of Israel to stand in battle on the day of the Lord. 
They have envisioned futility and false divination, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord!’ But the Lord has not sent them; yet they hope that the word may be confirmed. 
Have you not seen a futile vision, and have you not spoken false divination? You say, ‘The Lord says,’ but I have not spoken.”
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: “Because you have spoken nonsense and envisioned lies, therefore I am indeed against you,” says the Lord GOD. 
“My hand will be against the prophets who envision futility and who divine lies; they shall not be in the assembly of My people, nor be written in the record of the house of Israel, nor shall they enter into the land of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
“Because, indeed, because they have seduced My people, saying, ‘Peace!’ when there is no peace—and one builds a wall, and they plaster it with untempered mortar
say to those who plaster it with untempered mortar, that it will fall. There will be flooding rain, and you, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall tear it down. 
Surely, when the wall has fallen, will it not be said to you, ‘Where is the mortar with which you plastered it?’”
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: “I will cause a stormy wind to break forth in My fury; and there shall be a flooding rain in My anger, and great hailstones in fury to consume it. 
So I will break down the wall you have plastered with untempered mortar, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation will be uncovered; it will fall, and you shall be consumed in the midst of it. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.

Now take a look at this story.


Could these people who claim to be representing God find out some day that they were precisely the people God was talking about in the Scriptures above?
