FALSE PROPHETS CONDEMNED

The Word of the Lord came to me [Ezekiel]:

'Son of man, prophesy against the Prophets of Israel (America)

Who are now Prophesying out of their own imagination.

'Hear the Word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says:

WOE to the Foolish Prophets

Who follow their own spirit and have seen Nothing!

Your Prophets, O Israel (America), are like Jackal among ruins.

You have not gone up to the breaks in the Wall to repair it

For the House of Israel (America) so that it will Stand Firm

In the Day of Battle on THE DAY OF THE LORD.

Their Visions are False and their Divinations a LIE.

They say, 'The Lord declares,' when the Lord has not sent them;

Yet they expect their words to be Fulfilled.

Have you not seen False Visions and Uttered Lying Divinations

When you say, 'The Lord declares,' though I have not spoken?

'Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

Because of your False Words and Lying Visions,

I AM against you, declares the Sovereign Lord.

My hand will be against the Prophets who see False Visions

And Utter Lying Divinations.

They will not belong to the Council of My People

Or be listed in the Records of the House of Israel (America).

Then you will Know that I AM the Sovereign Lord.

BECAUSE THEY LEAD MY PEOPLE ASTRAY, SAYING 'PEACE,'

When there is No Peace,

And because, when a Flimsy Wall is built,

THEY COVER IT WITH WHITEWASH,

Therefore tell those who cover it with WHITEWASH that it is going to Fall.

Rain will come in Torrents, and I will send Hailstones Hurtling down,

And Violent Winds will Burst Forth.

WHEN THE WALL COLLAPSES, will the People not ask you,

'WHERE IS THE WHITEWASH YOU COVERED IT WITH?'

'Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

IN MY WRATH I WILL UNLEASH A VIOLENT WIND,

And In My Anger Hailstones and Torrents of Rain

Will Fall with Destructive Fury.

I WILL TEAR DOWN THE WALL YOU HAVE COVERED WITH WHITEWASH

And Level it to the Ground

SO THAT ITS FOUNDATION WILL BE LAID BARE.

WHEN IT FALLS YOU WILL BE DESTROYED IN IT;

And you will Know that I AM the Lord.

SO I WILL SPEND MY WRATH AGAINST THE WALL

AND AGAINST THOSE WHO COVERED IT WITH WHITEWASH.

I will say to you,

'The Wall is Gone and so are those who Whitewashed it,

Those prophets of Israel (America)

Who Prophesied to Jerusalem (America)

And saw Visions of Peace for her

When there was No Peace, declares the Sovereign Lord.'

'Now son of man, set your Face against the Daughters of your People

Who Prophesy out of their own Imagination.

Prophesy against them and say,

'This is what the Sovereign Lord says:

WOE to the women who sew Magic Charms on all their wrists

And make Veils of various lengths for their heads

In order to Ensnare People.

WILL YOU ENSNARE THE LIVES OF MY PEOPLE BUT PRESERVE YOUR OWN?

YOU HAVE PROFANED ME AMONG MY PEOPLE

For a few handfuls of barley and scraps of bread.

BY LYING TO MY PEOPLE, WHO LISTEN TO LIES,

You have Killed those who should not have Died

And have Spared those who should Not Live.

Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says:

I AM AGAINST YOUR MAGIC CHARMS

With which you Ensnare People like birds.

AND I WILL TEAR THEM FROM YOUR ARMS;

I will Set Free the People that you Ensnare like birds.

I WILL TEAR OFF YOUR VEILS AND SAVE MY PEOPLE FROM YOUR HANDS,

And they will No Longer Fall Prey to your Power;

THEN YOU WILL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.

BECAUSE YOU DISHEARTENED THE RIGHTEOUS WITH YOUR LIES,

When I had brought them No Grief,

And because you Encouraged the Wicked

NOT TO TURN FROM THEIR EVIL WAYS AND SO SAVE THEIR LIVES,

Therefore you will No Longer see False Visions or Practice Divination.

I WILL SAVE MY PEOPLE FROM YOUR HANDS.

AND THEN YOU WILL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.'

(Ezekiel 13)

What has been will be again,

What has been done will be done again;

THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.

(Ecclesiastes 1:9)

America is going the Way of Israel in the Days of Ezekiel.
