Speak to us pleasant words,Prophesy illusions.

Isa 30:8 Now go, write it on a tablet before themAnd inscribe it on a scroll,That it may serve in the time to comeAs a witness forever. 9 For this is a rebellious people, false sons,Sons who refuse to listen To the instruction of the LORD; 10 Who say to the seers, “You must not see visions”;And to the prophets, “You must not prophesy to us what is right,Speak to us pleasant words,Prophesy illusions. 11 “Get out of the way, turn aside from the path,Let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel.”12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel,“Since you have rejected this word And have put your trust in oppression and guile, and have relied on them, 13 Therefore this iniquity will be to you Like a breach about to fall,A bulge in a high wall,Whose collapse comes suddenly in an instant, 14 Whose collapse is like the smashing of a potter’s jar,So ruthlessly shatteredThat a sherd will not be found among its piecesTo take fire from a hearthOr to scoop water from a cistern.”15 For thus the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said,“In repentance and rest you will be saved,In quietness and trust is your strength.”But you were not willing, 16 And you said, “No, for we will flee on horses,”Therefore you shall flee!“And we will ride on swift horses,”Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift.

This isn't rocket science, you don't need some hired hand preacher to tell you this stuff, be obedient and faithful and things will go well for you. Resist and rebel, and well....pay the price. Time is short, in quietness and trust is your strength but most people don't want it. They have looked to Egypt (the world) for their safety and comfort, therefore it will be the world that blows up in their face, at what point will they turn back to their Creator in repentance to find rest for their souls? Grace and peace, time is short, remain in Christ
