0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:07.0 | Today God has Ezekiel launch out with prophecies against other prophets, false prophets specifically. |
0:18.0 | He says they prophesy about things they've dreamed up in their own minds or just have a feeling about in their spirits. |
0:24.6 | The text says they see false visions and lying visions and it's unclear whether that means |
0:29.5 | they're lying about what they see or if the enemy is faking these visions and the prophets just |
0:34.0 | think they're from God. But probably the former. The prophets also believe they have the power |
0:39.2 | to speak things into existence as long as they attach God's name to it, because then God's hands will be tied |
0:44.6 | and he'll be forced to comply with whatever they've spoken. |
0:47.5 | If you look at their beliefs and actions carefully, you might see that some of the popular |

1:19.3 | metaphor here. He's probably not going to smash them with an actual wall. He could but more likely the |
1:25.0 | walls are their false prophecies which will ultimately be turned back on them |
1:29.2 | just like we talked about with the people's sins. Then God turns his attention to the magicians or sorcerers. |
1:35.3 | He talks about people who sew magic bands on people's wrists. |
1:39.0 | And if you go to Jerusalem today, |
1:40.6 | you'll see a similar practice, where some stores try to sell you little red string |
1:44.5 | bracelets or pendants or home decor that's supposed to protect you from evil. |
1:48.8 | How deceptive is the enemy. |
