Compared to the other Prophets speaking of a bright future, Ezekiel was all gloom and dark. God tells them that these other Prophets are false and they are spreading lies. They rely on witchcraft and sorcery to give the people what they want. They too will be punished! The leaders are so determined to have the future be sun shine, that they actually persuade the false Prophets to prophesy what they ask them to. Just wait, they too will be judged accordingly. The people followed those leaders. And for not using their smarts and following the one true God they will be judged too. Even today, we have to be careful what leaders we follow in our lives.
