21For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?
About Ezekiel 14: False Prophets Condemned
In Ezekiel chapter 14, God speaks to Ezekiel about the false prophets who have been leading His people astray. He warns that these individuals will be held accountable for their actions and that they will not be able to save themselves or their followers from impending judgment.
Commentary
Ezekiel's message is still relevant today as false prophets continue to exist in our world. These individuals claim to have a message from God, yet their teachings are often contrary to scripture and lack the conviction of the Holy Spirit. It is important for Christians to discern false prophets and to turn away from their teachings, lest we fall prey to their deceit. As believers, our focus should be on seeking the truth of God's word and following it with all our hearts, minds, and souls. In doing so, we can avoid the judgment that is sure to come upon those who reject God and turn to false idols.
