Ezekiel #12

Ezekiel #12

God rails against false prophets (Eze 12:24). Ezekiel explains the accountability for listening to false prophets. False prophets nature is covered in Eze 13:1-7. God's true prophets came from Samuel's school of prophets -- "sons of the prophets" -- students of Samuel, Elijah, and Elisha (1Sa 10:5-11, 1Ki 20:35, 2Ki 2:3, 2Ki 4:1). Those who go astray for personal gain become false prophets. (1) They devise their own message (Eze 13:2). (2) They foolishly follow their own spirit and not God's (Eze 13:3, Col 2:18-19). (3) <I>They have seen nothing</I>" (Eze 13:3). 4) They are like jackals; they thrive on destruction and death (Eke 13:4). (5) False prophets have not been heroes (Eke 13:5). (6) Divination refers to witchcraft. They have futile vision and are rebellious (Eze 13:6, 1Sa 15:33, Deu 13:1-5) (7) They use "thus says the Lord" (Eke 13:7). (8) their message was pleasing and acceptable (Eze 13:8, Jer 6:14, Jer 8:11, 1Th 5:3). God will defend His people (Eze 13:10, 1Co 6:6). God exposes the sources of the false prophecie (Eze 13:9-16). (1) Removal from the assembly - they loose privelege on the council. (2) Thier name is removed from the role of honor. (3) They will have no inheritance. There are believers who will loose(2Ti 2:12, Rev 3:21)
