Bible Question:
Jeremiah 18:18, 26:8 Jeremiah was being persecuted by many and even at edge of death for his prophesying which the people claimed as false. I want to know what was the status of a prophet at the time of Jeremiah's. In Ch 27 v1-15, what Jeremiah said appeared to show him a betrayer (base on a national perspective). It is interesting to see those priests and other prophets did not charge Jeremiah for his betrayal discourse, but false prophesying. Your input and enlightenment is appreciated. Shalom Azure |
Bible Answer: Hi Sister Azure, Interesting question; I think maybe they [the false prophets] were just doing what 'false' prophets do, attacking the true Word of God, and going with their own agenda. As to their status, it seems that most, if not all the prophets of God, in all times, faced great difficulty and persecution, from those that did not choose to believe the Word of God. Just my one cent ;-) God bless John |
