Psalms 74:9
74:9 We do not see any signs of God’s presence;
there are no longer any prophets
and we have no one to tell us how long this will last.
Isaiah 8:20-22
8:20 Then you must recall the
Lord’s instructions and the prophetic testimony of what would happen.
Certainly they say such things because their minds are spiritually darkened.
8:21 They will pass through the land
destitute and starving. Their hunger will make them angry,
and they will curse their king and their God
as they look upward.
8:22 When one looks out over the land, he sees
distress and darkness, gloom
and anxiety, darkness and people forced from the land.
Jeremiah 13:16
13:16 Show the Lord your God the respect that is due him.
Do it before he brings the darkness of disaster.
Do it before you stumble into distress
like a traveler on the mountains at twilight.
Do it before he turns the light of deliverance you hope for
into the darkness and gloom of exile.
Ezekiel 13:22-23
13:22 This is because you have disheartened the righteous person with lies (although I have not grieved him), and because you have encouraged the wicked person not to turn from his evil conduct and preserve his life.
13:23 Therefore you will no longer see false visions and practice divination. I will rescue my people from your power, and you
will know that I am the
Lord.’”
Zechariah 13:2-4
13:2 And also on that day,” says the
Lord who rules over all, “I will remove
the names of the idols from the land and they will never again be remembered. Moreover, I will remove the prophets and the unclean spirit from the land.
13:3 Then, if anyone prophesies in spite of this, his father and mother to whom he was born will say to him, ‘You cannot live, for you lie in the name of the
Lord.’ Then his father and mother to whom he was born will run him through with a sword when he prophesies.
13:4 “Therefore, on that day each prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies and will no longer wear the hairy garment of a prophet to deceive the people.
