What Prosperity Preachers Have In Common With Israel of Ezekiel's Time

What Prosperity Preachers Have In Common With Israel of Ezekiel's Time

Does this sound a little like the modern day televangelist and prosperity preachers?

Ezekiel 13:3-9

"3 Thus says the Lord God, “Woe to the foolish prophets who are following their own spirit and have seen nothing. 

4 O Israel, your prophets have been like foxes among ruins. 

5 You have not gone up into the breaches, nor did you build the wall around the house of Israel to stand in the battle on the day of the Lord. 

6 They see falsehood and lying divination who are saying, ‘The Lord declares,’ when the Lord has not sent them; yet they hope for the fulfillment of their word. 

7 Did you not see a false vision and speak a lying divination when you said, ‘The Lord declares,’ but it is not I who have spoken?”’”

8 Therefore, thus says the Lord God, “Because you have spoken falsehood and seen a lie, therefore behold, I am against you,” declares the Lord God. 

9 “So My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and utter lying divinations. They will have no place in the council of My people, nor will they be written down in the register of the house of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel, that you may know that I am the Lord God."
