AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ezekiel 14:9 ¶ "But if the prophet [who speaks without My authority] is enticed to speak a word [of his own], it is I the LORD who have caused that prophet [to speak falsely to please the inquirer, thus allowing himself to be a party to the inquirer's sin], and I will stretch out My hand against him and destroy him from among My people Israel. |
Bible Question: How does a loving, caring, giving God speak of DECEIVING a prophet? Ezekiel 14:9 talks about God having actions that only can be attributed to the enemy, The DECEIVER, THE DEVIL, SATAN. WE HAVE BEEN FOOLED BY THE WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING, AGAIN? |
Bible Answer: Righteous prophets would not be "deceived" in such a manner. The people were told to repent and get rid of their idols. The people knew this. The prophets knew this. The Lord says that those who do not, and who still try to come to Him, will be punished. |
