Quotes About Prophecy

The inhabited cities will be laid waste, and the land will become desolate. Then you will know that I am the LORD.í”

Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

“Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel: ëThe days go by, and every vision failsí?

Therefore tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ëI will put an end to this proverb, and in Israel they will no longer recite it.í But say to them: ëThe days are at hand when every vision will be fulfilled.

For there will be no more false visions or flattering divinations within the house of Israel,

because I, the LORD, will speak whatever word I speak, and it will be fulfilled without delay. For in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak a message and bring it to pass, declares the Lord GOD.í”

Furthermore, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Because you have uttered vain words and seen false visions, I am against you, declares the Lord GOD.

Because they have led My people astray, saying, ëPeace,í when there is no peace, and whitewashing any flimsy wall that is built,

those prophets of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and saw a vision of peace for her when there was no peace, declares the Lord GOD.í

Now, O son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people who prophesy out of their own imagination. Prophesy against them

therefore you will no longer see false visions or practice divination. I will deliver My people from your hands. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”

For when any Israelite or any foreigner dwelling in Israel separates himself from Me, sets up idols in his heart, and puts a wicked stumbling block before his face, and then comes to the prophet to inquire of Me, I the LORD will answer him Myself.

Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ëLike the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I will give up the people of Jerusalem.
