Interesting observation
Repeatedly, generation after generation, prophet after prophet, from one city to the next, throughout the nations, the prophecy has remained consistent.
**Disaster**
What's interesting is that in response to man's response to His messengers' prophecies, God reaffirms His messengers with an identical message.
⁸Now go and write down these words. Write them in a book. They will stand until the end of time as a witness ⁹that these people are stubborn rebels who refuse to pay attention to the lord’s instructions. ¹⁰They tell the seers, “Stop seeing visions!” They tell the prophets, “Don’t tell us what is right. Tell us nice things. Tell us lies. ¹¹Forget all this gloom. Get off your narrow path. Stop telling us about your ‘Holy One of Israel.’” ¹²This is the reply of the Holy One of Israel: “Because you despise what I tell you and trust instead in oppression and lies, ¹³calamity will come upon you suddenly— like a bulging wall that bursts and falls. In an instant it will collapse and come crashing down. ¹⁴You will be smashed like a piece of pottery— shattered so completely that there won’t be a piece big enough to carry coals from a fireplace or a little water from the well.”
Isaiah 30 8-14(NLT)
Indeed every prophet is accountable for their own words. God doesn’t sign-off on nonsense. But, to have God's backing in the words that are spoken is incredibly reassuring. I merely deliver the message for how ever long commands.
