Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord GOD. And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD. Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter: (Eze 13:8-10)
GOD here condemns those that pretend to speak for Him, and yet are preaching smooth easy words of 'comfort' but without truth. He calls them out, and exposes their lies for the false hope that it is. Their false teachings have corrupted and seduced many Jews of this time to sIn and disobedience. They also preach peace, both physical and spiritual when GOD Himself has said otherwise. GOD has pronounced destruction on the city, and no amount of false comfort can alleviate His judgment on the city, the nation, and the people.
Today, we have many pastors and preachers telling the people what they want to hear, and not decrying sIn for what it is. They are preaching a false gospel, either because they have ignored sIn and judgment, or a false Jesus, for they remove His deity and His Authority as the Word made flesh. Denying either presents another Jesus, or another gospel, both of which are condemned strongly in the Scriptures. GOD calls those that speak for Him to be true to His Word and His character, and speak the Truth (in love, but speak the Truth) to one another in discipleship and to those that are lost for Salvation.
For those that don't know Jesus, understand that He is not willing that any should perish but wants you to come to the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants you to be born again into a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. Surrender to Him on His terms and believe that His finished work on the Cross of Calvary paid the price for your sIn, and receive Him by Faith and His Salvation. GOD wants you to enter with Him into a covenant relationship that is real and personal.
If you are already one of His, be true to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and share Him with those you meet.
In Christ,
