Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
This is what the Lord God says: Major trouble is coming for these so-called prophets who are just making stuff up as they go, following their own thoughts and calling it divine revelation when they haven't actually seen anything from me.
God's calling out the fake spiritual influencers who are just winging it and pretending they speak for him.
📚 Historical Context
During the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BC, the prophet Ezekiel was speaking to the exiled people of Judah who were facing judgment for their sins. False prophets were emerging, claiming to have divine visions to comfort the people, but they were actually inventing messages based on their own ideas rather than true revelations from God. This warning was part of God's broader call for repentance and reliance on authentic prophecy amidst widespread deception.
