Attack against False Prophets

Here we have these false prophets who think they have been doing God's work yet have been leading the people of God farther away then ever! Jeremiah mentions that he is looking forward to the Messiah so that He will "do what is just and right". Then God speaks to Jeremiah about these false prophets. He is told that if they are to continue to speak these false words in the name of the Lord then there will be consequences. If they continue to look to idols for answers once again there will be consequences. The prediction of the false prophets are LIES. Only God know the future, the truth and the way! I read somewhere one that really stuck with me. "A lie and a truth are both heard and can both be seen." We need to be very awake and keep our eyes open for false prophets today even. Think about the government and how easy a false prophet can swindle his way in spreading what can at first seem like good news, but in the end can be evil. Just like in the days of Jeremiah. Pray, pray and pray before every election! Pray before changing a church. Make sure that every person who is over you you pray about before you listen to them. False Prophets are here today too!
