Ezekiel 13-15
Like Jeremiah, Ezekiel must contend against false prophets. One might think that with all the success Nebuchadnezzar has had against Judah (and everyone else), and with thousands already in exile, the false prophets would be out of business, their message of peace and security seen as an obvious sham. But such is the human heart: quick to believe lies and slow to accept Truth. And so the false prophets remain popular as they tell the people what they want to hear.
Is it really any different today? Just look around. Everyone sits in their own echo chamber, happy to chat with folks with whom they agree, and rarely even hearing other voices, let alone the truth.
And so I ask again: To whom do you listen?
