Key Scripture:
"Thus says the Lord of hosts: Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They fill you with vain hopes. They speak visions of their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord." – Jeremiah 23:16

Introduction
False prophets have long plagued the body of Christ, leading many into confusion, delusion, and destruction. They promise peace when there is no peace, proclaim safety when danger looms, and promote self-indulgence rather than godly repentance. But the Living God has spoken: their reign is coming to an end. Through His divine wrath, fury, and indignation, the Lord will expose their lies, humble their pride, and deliver His people from the snares of their deceit.

This message is a solemn call to awaken from spiritual stupor, discern truth from lies, and walk in the light of God's truth. Let us reflect on how the reign of false prophets will crumble under the mighty hand of God, and how His truth will prevail in the hearts of His people.

The Rise and Deception of False Prophets
"For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect." – Matthew 24:24
False prophets have built their empires on lies, deluding people with false visions, euphoric dreams, and deceitful schemes. They have spread confusion, fed men with delusions, and led many into spiritual madness. Their teachings promote materialism, pride, and self-centeredness, while neglecting the truth of God's word.
However, God declares that their time is over. The delusions they peddle will crumble under the weight of divine reality. Their kingdoms, built on lies, will collapse as the wrath of God reveals their deceitful works.

God's Wrath Against False Prophets
"Behold, the storm of the Lord! Wrath has gone forth, a whirling tempest; it will burst upon the head of the wicked." – Jeremiah 23:19
The Lord's wrath is not an arbitrary act of vengeance but a righteous response to the rebellion of false prophets. Through calamity, tribulation, and hardship, God will sober men from the drunkenness of deception. The delusions painted by these false teachers will fade as the grim realities of life set in.
When nations face ruination, the promises of peace and safety will be exposed as lies. God's wrath will humble both the deceivers and the deceived, leading them to acknowledge His sovereignty and truth.

The Fall of Falsehood and the Restoration of Truth
"For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light." – Luke 8:17
As God brings down the reign of false prophets, He will restore His truth among His people. Men and women will awaken from their spiritual slumber, reject the lies of false prophets, and hunger for the truth of God’s word.
The fear of the Lord will return to the land, and people will seek righteousness over riches, humility over pride, and godliness over deception. The hardships allowed by God's wrath will serve as a means to refine and restore His people, drawing them closer to Him.

Through His wrath and fury, the Lord is exposing their lies, humbling their pride, and awakening His people to the truth. This season of tribulation is not a time to mourn but a time to rejoice, as it paves the way for the restoration of righteousness and truth.
