Clean Clothes on a dirty body is still Dirty!MRav. McDonald

JEREMIAH 530 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;[KJV]

What may justly raise admiration is some, and horror in others, or both in all: it is so amazing that itcan hardly be comceived of, and so shameful and filthy as not to be expressed; what it is follows:

JEREMIAH 531 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to haveit so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?[KJV]Yirmeyah531 The nevi'im prophesy falsely, and the kohanim rule at their direction; and My people love to have it this way; but what will ye do in the end?[OKB]

The prophets prophesied falsely

,... That the people would have peace and prosperity, and not becarried captive into Babylon, as Jeremiah/Yirmeyah and other true prophets of the L-rd had predicted:

and the priests bear rule by their means

; or rather “the princes”; for they rule by false teachings and amixture of Scripture and doctrine. This deception is common today and will become more prevalent asthe coming of Moshiach grows nearer.This deception is being fed by the constant need for being the biggest and having the largestcongregations. Having just the right preacher, they change the formats of service to follow the trendsof the world. Ministering the truth is not the focus any longer.However we are perceived by the world has become our portion and our focus. Through their false prophesies they departed from the law and the worship of G-d and His ordinances, from attending tothem and performing them in the manner appointed; in the whole it denotes great friendship, unity, andagreement between the priests or princes, and the false prophets; they agreed together to keep the people in awe and in bondage; and what was of all the most surprising is what follows:

and my peoplelove to have it so

; both that the prophets prophesy smooth things to them, though false; and that the princes should govern as they directed:

and what will ye do in the end thereof?

That these evils will bring unto; namely, the destruction of the city and nation and even the very body of the Moshiach.What is going to happen when we fall prey to these false teachers, churches, ministries and cults? WEWILL SURELY DIE!Bringing in a minister, evangelist or one truly anointed of G-d does not justify a church, ministry or congregation. I liken it to putting clean clothes on a filthy body. If the body is not washed the clothesare only an outward sign and are really not a true representation of the Body itself. We deceiveourselves if we being washed can go to an obvious place of deception and expect to give it a coveringthrough our presence. If you go where the teachings are false and you give a message, when you leavethe teachings there will still be false because if the truth is not received by the body and by theeldership then the body will still be dirty and unwashed.Do not be deceived, each and every time you enter a den of iniquity you are exposing yourself and your witness to that deception and filth. Now understand I am not saying to not minister to the lost, or don't lay hands on the sick, or not prayfor the needs of others. What I am saying is when G-d sends you out you need to do His bidding and
