Ezekiel 13:1-16 - Yahweh’s Judgement Against False Prophets

<p>In Ezekiel 13, we see the false prophets stand in the gaze of God. His eyes are set on them. He notices they are false prophets. He will now deal with them. In Ezekiel 13:1-16, God calls out the false prophets of the day. They do not prophesy on behalf of God, but on behalf of their own hearts. The words of these prophets are nothing more than smoke - something that has the appearance of substance, but there is nothing to really hold. In prophesying by their own hearts, not the Spirit, they have led people away. However, God will reveal these are false prophets and will lead His people to Him. Our passage can be broken into two sections. In Ezekiel 13:1-7, Yahweh issues the charges against the false prophets. Then in Ezekiel 13:8-16, He announces their coming judgment.</p>
