When the wall collapses, will people not ask you, “Where is the whitewash you covered it with?

Ezekiel 13;1-16

The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who are now prophesying. Say to those who prophesy out of their own imagination: ‘Hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing! Your prophets, Israel, are like jackals among ruins.

Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because of your false words and lying visions, I am against you, declares the Sovereign Lord. My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and utter lying divinations. They will not belong to the council of my people or be listed in the records of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.

When the wall collapses, will people not ask you, “Where is the whitewash you covered it with?”

‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: In my wrath I will unleash a violent wind, and in my anger hailstones and torrents of rain will fall with destructive fury. I will tear down the wall you have covered with whitewash and will level it to the ground so that its foundation will be laid bare. When it falls, you will be destroyed in it; and you will know that I am the Lord. So I will pour out my wrath against the wall and against those who covered it with whitewash. I will say to you, “The wall is gone and so are those who whitewashed it, those prophets of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and saw visions of peace for her when there was no peace, declares the Sovereign Lord.”’

Why?
The wrath of the Lord comes upon the false prophets, they said peace, but no peace, they said false visions and utter lying divination. They say the sweet word to attract people, but it is false talk.

Many of us like to hear the beautiful word but do not know it is false, because we don't know the truth. So let us learn and come closer to the Lord, according to God's word we will know what is true, the meaning of the Lord has been revealed to us in the Bible.

責備假先知，因為人喜歡被奉承。他們隨從自己的心意，為了得到社會地位等。祭司、先知需要神的呼召。狐狸經過洞，利用洞卻不會把洞補起來。用狂風暴雨冰雹來沖刷未泡透的灰，使虛假顯露出來。假先知出現，因為人愛聽，愛聽粉飾太平的話。

How?

Carefully read the word of the Lord and make clear what the Lord says to us and obey it.
