My dad always told me to “measure twice, cut once.” In other words, be sure of what you’re doing before you do something you can’t undo.
God is saying the same thing to Israel. He is telling Ezekiel to fight against the false prophets – people that are saying God has told them something when really He hasn’t. In doing so, they have given people false hope and have really hurt them instead of helping them.
This simply points me back to the Bible. As I preach from it, am I confident in what I’m teaching? Am I giving people a right message? This is serious business – I don’t want to be wrong. The results could be devastating.
