Scripture lesson: Jeremiah 28:5-9 Who is a true Prophet?
Time to reflect: Although it is not entirely clear in this passage, the true prophet preaches the word of God and not the will of the people. During saber-rattling times, it is the true prophet that preaches peace.
Moving through the day: What would Jeremiah be preaching to America at this time?
5 Then the prophet Jeremiah replied to the prophet Hananiah before the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the LORD. 6 He said, "Amen! May the LORD do so! May the LORD fulfill the words you have prophesied by bringing the articles of the LORD's house and all the exiles back to this place from Babylon. 7 Nevertheless, listen to what I have to say in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people: 8 From early times the prophets who preceded you and me have prophesied war, disaster and plague against many countries and great kingdoms. 9 But the prophet who prophesies peace will be recognized as one truly sent by the LORD only if his prediction comes true."
