Hear No More - Isaiah 30:9-11

Isaiah 30:9-11 NASB 

For this is a rebellious people, false sons,

Sons who refuse to listen

To the instruction of the Lord;

 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.

 “Get out of the way, turn aside from the path,

 Let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel.”

This should be familiar to many. It is happening today and all around us. Our prophets today are likely to be of and in the world. We leave behind the instructions of The Lord for the smooth and pleasant words easy on the ears that provide comfort in the way of the world. 

Increasing and with growing stridency and hostility we hear these words:

"Let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel".

He is still here, but has turned us over to our desires.
