Jeremiah 23:14

"And among the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen something horrible:  They commit adultery and live a lie.  They strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns from his wickedness.  They are all like Sodom to me; the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah."

This verse reminds us of those spiritual leaders who embrace the homosexual or transsexual agenda.

There is a New Testament connection to a comparison of Sodom to Jerusalem concerning the two witnesses who are killed in the last days.

Revelation 11:8
And their bodies will lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. 

Jeremiah 23:16-18
This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD. They keep saying to those who despise me, ‘The LORD says: You will have peace.’ And to all who follow the stubbornness of their hearts they say, ‘No harm will come to you.’ But which of them has stood in the council of the LORD to see or to hear his word? Who has listened and heard his word?

Is this happening now? Are pastors preaching prosperity and peace?  Are they giving people the impression that God is nothing more than an "ATM machine"?  Are they filling people with false hope telling the people that they will escape trials and tribulations?  Especially during the last days?

God is saying through the prophet Jeremiah that these false prophets have not taken counsel from Him. They prophesied in their own power telling the people what they wanted to hear. The book of Jude is filled with words concerning false prophets in his time and on into the future.  Makes us want to really study Scripture for ourselves using the 5 Cs method - with the help of the Holy Spirit of course.

Jeremiah 23:28b
...but let the one who has my word speak it faithfully.
This is another confirming verse for Truth Tellers. If we know a truth, we must be faithful in speaking that truth, whether or not anyone listens.

Jeremiah 23:30
Therefore, declared the Lord, "I am against the prophets who steal from one another words supposedly from me."

People quoting commentaries that are in error, perhaps?

A great lesson to learn from all this is:
Don't take one person's opinion solely. Listen to good counsel but also read God's Word and let the Holy Spirit teach.
