Peace, and There is no Peace
Homiletic Magazine
Ezekiel 13:16
To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace…


I. They "see visions of peace" WHO PREACH AND SPEAK WHAT IS PLEASING RATHER THAN WHAT IS OF TRUTH AND OF GOD. A people's folly will find exponents. But truth perverted will be avenged. False doctrine is but untempered mortar.

II. They "see visions of peace," and "there is no peace." WHO NEGLECT DUTY AND STILL HOPE FOR REWARD. Foolish dreamers are they who look for fortune, or learning, or piety without careful attention and unremitting diligence.

III. They "see visions of peace" when "there is no peace" WHO LIVE IN SIN AND WORLDLINESS, AND HOPE FOR EVERLASTING SALVATION.
