Ezekiel 13 Reproof of False Prophets (Micah 2:6–11) 1Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2“Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who are now prophesying. Tell those who prophesy out of their own imagination: Hear the word of the LORD! 3This is what the Lord GOD says: Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit, yet have seen nothing. 4Your prophets, O Israel, are like foxes among the ruins. 5You did not go up to the gaps or restore the wall around the house of Israel so that it would stand in the battle on the Day of the LORD.
6They see false visions and speak lying divinations. They claim, ‘Thus declares the LORD,’ when the LORD did not send them; yet they wait for the fulfillment of their message.
7Haven’t you seen a false vision and spoken a lying divination when you proclaim, ‘Thus declares the LORD,’ even though I have not spoken?
8Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Because you have uttered vain words and seen false visions, I am against you, declares the Lord GOD. 9My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and speak lying divinations. They will not belong to the council of My people or be recorded in the register of the house of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.
10Because they have led My people astray, saying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace, and whitewashing any flimsy wall that is built, 11tell those whitewashing the wall that it will fall. Rain will come in torrents, I will send hailstones plunging down, and a windstorm will burst forth. 12Surely when the wall has fallen, you will not be asked, ‘Where is the whitewash with which you covered it?’
13Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: In My wrath I will release a windstorm, and in My anger torrents of rain and hail will fall with destructive fury. 14I will tear down the wall you whitewashed and level it to the ground, so that its foundation is exposed. The city will fall, and you will be destroyed within it. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
15And after I have vented My wrath against the wall and against those who whitewashed it, I will say to you: ‘The wall is gone, and so are those who whitewashed it— 16those prophets of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and saw a vision of peace for her when there was no peace, declares the Lord GOD.’
Reproof of False Prophetesses 17Now, O son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people who prophesy out of their own imagination. Prophesy against them 18and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: Woe to the women who sew magic charms on their wrists and make veils for the heads of people of every height, in order to ensnare their souls. Will you ensnare the souls of My people but preserve your own? 19You have profaned Me among My people for handfuls of barley and scraps of bread. By lying to My people who would listen, you have killed those who should not have died and spared those who should not have lived.
20Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: See, I am against the magic charms with which you ensnare souls like birds, and I will tear them from your arms. So I will free the souls you have ensnared like birds. 21I will also tear off your veils and deliver My people from your hands, so that they will no longer be prey in your hands. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
22Because you have disheartened the righteous with your lies, even though I have caused them no grief, and because you have encouraged the wicked not to turn from their evil ways to save their lives, 23therefore you will no longer see false visions or practice divination. I will deliver My people from your hands. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”
Thank you for sharing this. I often pray asking for discernment because I know so many things are presented as good...when the underpinnings are not (or real intent is not). This was an excellent reminder for me.
Specifically for me- I know God made us very powerful, and we don’t even know how powerful (but I think we’re starting to). Are some healing modalities (e.g. reiki, etc…) a gift from God we have - but forgot- or is it something else?
Can you dumb that down a bit for me please. God educated, not college educated here.
You were educated by the best, not the brain-washing establishment that is creating havoc in America and elsewhere currently and has been for a long, long time.
I’m so bad at checking my autocorrect problems… that was wholly unintelligible… fixed, and added some additional info. Thank you for mentioning something. I hate to look like an idiot, yet I seem to overachieve constantly.
Reiki is something else, imho.
I have a Christian brother, who was very much into reiki. It led him to darkness. After he found Jesus, he was led to denounce all reiki teachings and practises.
I believe that we are created to have a relationship with God and depend on Him, through Jesus. He is also the great healer. We are called to depend on Him if we need healing. That is my belief. 🙏
I appreciate this feedback. I have been really struggling to listen to where God is leading me on these topics... And I believe where I have landed is that I AM getting guidance, but I have been hoping I'm hearing it wrong because I wanted the other answer.
I know what you are talking about.
The way I see it nowadays: I try to go with what I believe is His will. If I hear or interpret Him wrong, He will correct me. And it usually happens very gently and patiently.
God bless you!
Yes, it is very gently! Thank you for saying that because when I discover "the answer" I feel a bit guilty for being so obtuse!!
Also, thank you!
Sounds like a nice powerful storm will make the truth known 🙏 God is good and He will be known!
Good stuff now I am left to decide did the churches whitewash the wall or do the “new” prophets whitewash the wall.
False churches, False Prophets and I believe false government as well
There’s so much confusion I have to just cast my cares upon the water and put it all on a shelf. Julie Green said Charles would not be coronated. I heard the same thing in my head. Well, I just watched him be coronated. So I don’t even think I have ears to hear. Good thing I didn’t publicly say it.
I don't know about you but he didn't look happy. He had the same look on his face that Turtle Boy Mitch had recently. Like somebody who lost their favorite toy forever.
Perhaps it was either a fake ceremony or an actor playing his part. Just like many public figures out there I am pretty sure are actors playing a part for public show and deception.
Yeah...you saw him crowned. What you (me, & everybody else) DIDN'T SEE was Charles being anointed. It's like the internet- pics or it didn't happen.
The coronation is a religious ceremony. In the "Great Chain of Being" The order is, God, King, Royalty, Aristocrats, etc, etc down to the lowest human. Everybody has a place and there is no mobility between classes. The monarch is at the very infallible top of all humans, in fact a different breed. The monarch gets his authority to rule from God. He is personally and publicly anointed with the holy oil. THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. He hid behind a screen (opinion on that later).
Nice point. I get it there was no anointing of oil in that ceremony? I think there was for QE? I’m sure if we found the British derek Johnson he could explain the optics.
Anointing with holy oil was done in QEII ceremony; the royal duchesses held up a canopy during the procedure.
In the CIII ceremony, Charles was behind a screen, and there was zero visibility.
Is there some reason for this modesty? Isn’t the Christian anointing similar to the sign of the cross? Do they need to disrobe?
Anointing with the holy oil is made with the sign of the cross on the hands, chest, and head. What happened in the last 2 coronation anointings we are not positive about - the word pour has been used. The act of anointing is from Kings I in the Old Testament, where King Solomon received a similar ceremony by Zadok the Priest and Nathan the Prophet.
QEII had the camera swing away from the ceremony.
