Who are these Jerusalem Prophets whom God accuses of defiling His Temple, abusing His messengers, and misleading His people? They're Temple Leaders (pastors, preachers, and teachers).
I have chosen to use the Message Bible to impart this entry because it divides this text perfectly. "True wisdom comes from God."
Jeremiah 23:10-24 (MSG)
¹⁰Now for what GOD says regarding the lying prophets: "Can you believe it? A country teeming with adulterers! faithless, promiscuous idolater-adulterers! They're a curse on the land. The land's a wasteland. Their unfaithfulness is turning the country into a cesspool, ¹¹Prophets and priests devoted to desecration. They have nothing to do with me as their God. My very own Temple, mind you--mud-spattered with their crimes." GOD's Decree.
¹²"But they won't get by with it. They'll find themselves on a slippery slope, Careening into the darkness, somersaulting into the pitch-black dark. I'll make them pay for their crimes. It will be the Year of Doom." GOD's Decree.
¹³"Over in Samaria I saw prophets acting like silly fools--shocking! They preached using that no-god Baal for a text, messing with the minds of my people. ¹⁴And the Jerusalem prophets are even worse--horrible!- sex--driven, living a lie, Subsidizing a culture of wickedness, and never giving it a second thought. They're as bad as those wretches in old Sodom, the degenerates of old Gomorrah."
¹⁵So here's the Message to the prophets from GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies: "I'll cook them a supper of maggoty meat with after-dinner drinks of strychnine. The Jerusalem prophets are behind all this. They're the cause of the godlessness polluting this country."
¹⁶A Message from GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies: "Don't listen to the sermons of the prophets. It's all hot air. Lies, lies, and more lies. They make it all up. Not a word they speak comes from me. ¹⁷They preach their "Everything Will Turn Out Fine' sermon to congregations with no taste for God, Their "Nothing Bad Will Ever Happen to You' sermon to people who are set in their own ways.
¹⁸"Have any of these prophets bothered to meet with me,the true GOD? bothered to take in what I have to say? listened to and then lived out my Word? ¹⁹Look out! GOD's hurricane will be let loose--my hurricane blast, Spinning the heads of the wicked like tops! ²⁰God's raging anger won't let up Until I've made a clean sweep, completing the job I began. When the job's done, you'll see that it's been well done.
²¹"I never sent these prophets, but they ran anyway. I never spoke to them, but they preached away. ²²If they'd have bothered to sit down and meet with me, they'd have preached my Message to my people. They'd have gotten them back on the right track, gotten them out of their evil ruts. ²³"Am I not a God near at hand"--GOD's Decree--"and not a God far off? ²⁴Can anyone hide out in a corner where I can't see him?" GOD's Decree. "Am I not present everywhere, whether seen or unseen?" GOD's Decree.
Hold on Bishops, ###, and Temple Prophets, before you get all in your feelings, put away your swords. Even ### had to be corrected before he could effectively shepherd God's flock. Who's flock? GOD'S FLOCK.
Sometimes your supposed "intercession" is nothing more than interference. ### assumed that Jesus was just being negative; so, innocently enough, he sought to encourage Him with a bit of positivity.
But Jesus turned, and said unto ###, "Get thee behind Me, satan: thou art an offence unto Me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men." [Matthew 16:23 (KJV)]
For Jesus new well "HIS ASSIGNMENT." As does this homeless grandmother and elder woman of God. Instead of taking part in this spiritual, verbal, and physical beat-down of God's servant, this ###, were not the ### in this city to have cared for this fellow worker? Just because you see someone being plundered doesn't mean that's how God purposed it. Jesus sent out the twelve, then the seventy two, and He is still sending us out as "sheep among wolves." Don't be one of those wolves. Don't continue to be like ###.
THANK You LORD for Christ Jesus, Your whole Word of truth.
