How did it happen? How did they wind up killing so many of the prophets....and rejecting the rest? It's not like Jeremiah was alone.....Zephaniah and Habakkuk and Ezekiel and Daniel were at one time or another contemporaries with him. Even after Nebuchadnezzar's army fulfilled Jeremiah's prophesies....and even after the Babylon king recognized Jeremiah as a prophet....the people of Jerusalem still gave him a hard time!
Well we now know how things like that happened.....for all we have to do is look at Donald Trump who for ten years now has prophesied great and wonderful things for America....his latest prophecy being the coming Golden Age....and we have had one horror after another for those ten years....and the people still want him as their prophet!
That doesn't answer the question though....OK....they believed Trump....but why did they believe him? That also is the same as with the peoples of Israel and Judah and Jerusalem....for they wanted good news....and we want good news. Hananiah told them what they wanted to hear....that Judah was going to be great again....and that they would throw off the yoke of Babylon in two years! that's about the same thing that Trump told us! The yoke of China was going to be off of us!
The bottom line is that you have ten years of this man to look back on. Turn Fox News off and all the other propaganda machines and you might see who he really is and what he is really doing....but more important than this is that you have God very clearly telling you that judgment is coming....and you have Donald Trump telling you that a golden age is coming!
We have been lulled to sleep by living the American dream. World wars just do not happen to us....because....well because....we are....us. These wars happen in places like the Ukraine! Besides.....God wants to bless us! Don't you ever watch TBN?
Plus....we in America just do not want Jesus to return right now. We either have big dreams for our kids....or big plans for our retirement. Why would God give you discernment if your personal goals or political goals are more important than preparing for Jesus to return....or even preparing to meet Him if you are called? Why would He give you discernment on the Lord's coming if the American Dream is what is most important to you? He is going to put blinders on you. That is why you do not see His very imminent return....and that is why you fell for a false prophet!
Afterthought: But you see....we don't believe in there being false prophets anymore....and we don't really believe that there are demons....and no one has to literally be born again anymore....just a good person who votes republican will do....and certainly no one has to separate themselves from the world....in fact just the opposite....we need a nation of Christian nationalists.
