Facing a world of Happy Prophets, beaten, imprisoned, thrown into a dry well and left to die, Jeremiah was tasked with standing alone and proclaiming death and destruction…
The Happy Prophets would all die the deaths they denied were coming and Jeremiah would be proven absolutely correct on every point… But following the death and destruction he had prophesied, having been proven right, the survivors would again defy both the Prophet and the God for whom he spoke… But today, in Heaven, he is not at all concerned with any of that…
11 The Lord said to me: “Do not pray for the welfare of this people. 12 Though they fast, I will not hear their cry, and though they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I will not accept them. But I will consume them by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.”
Lying Prophets
13 Then I said: “Ah, Lord God, behold, the prophets say to them, ‘You shall not see the sword, nor shall you have famine, but I will give you assured peace in this place.’” 14 And the Lord said to me: “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a lying vision, worthless divination, and the deceit of their own minds. 15 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name although I did not send them, and who say, ‘Sword and famine shall not come upon this land’: By sword and famine those prophets shall be consumed. 16 And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, victims of famine and sword, with none to bury them—them, their wives, their sons, and their daughters. For I will pour out their evil upon them.
Jeremiah 14:11-16
Every time I seek the Lord, I hear a message of doom, gloom, and tribulation… but the Happy Prophets, spouting their delusional dreams, still call me down and pronounce a happy future for America…
As for me, I would rather spend eternity with Jeremiah than with the Happy Prophets!
David…
