"'But, look! there will certainly be left remaining in it an escaped company, those being brought forth. Sons and daughters, here they are! t They are going forth to you people, and you will have to see their way and their dealings. And you will certainly be comforted over the calamity that I shall have brought upon Jerusalem, even all that I shall have brought upon her. And they will certainly comfort you people when you see their way and their dealings; and you will have to know that it was not without cause that I shall have done all that I must do against her,' is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah." (Ezek 14:22,23 NWT).

t "THEY ARE GOING FORTH TO YOU PEOPLE".
"Son of man, what is this proverbial saying that you people have on the soil of Israel, saying, 'The days are prolonged, and every vision has perished'?  Therefore say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: "I shall certainly cause this proverbial saying to cease'… But speak to them, 'The days have drawn near, and the matter of every vision.'  For there will no more prove to be any valueless vision or double-faced divination in the midst of the house of Israel. For I Myself, Jehovah, shall speak what word I shall speak, and it will be done. There will be no postponement any more…" (From Ezek 12:22-25. Rev 10:6). These words are right now concerning "stupid prophets" "walking after their own spirit", who are like "foxes in the devastated places". (Ezek 13:3,4).

A double-faced vision is not an explanation of the true meaning of the Word of God. A stupid prophet is not of God's calling, but is one who prophesies out of his own heart. Therefore, "I Myself, Jehovah, have fooled that prophet". (Ezek 14:9). Although stupid in a grievous way, these 'prophets' word-in safeguards for themselves. When a stupid prophet's so-called 'prophecy' is not fulfilled through the viewpoint of his one 'face', then those subject to him salve their consciences by explaining it away through its re-interpretation by another 'face'. False prophets make sure their predictions have two 'faces' in advance, always giving themselves a smooth alternative; until these fooled prophets are revealed in shame by "the matter of every vision". (Ezek 12:23. Zech 13:4,6).

Consequently, because of these "stupid prophets", and the "daughters of your people who are acting as prophetesses out of their own heart", God is causing "a flooding downpour, and in rage there will be (continue) hailstones for an extermination." (Ezek 13:13,17). Spiritually speaking, there are "four injurious acts of judgement    sword and famine and injurious wild beast and pestilence". (Ezek 14:21). This proves that "every vision" has not perished! The Word of God is still undergoing fulfilment, so He is yet to cause "this proverbial saying to cease". His four acts of Judgement will soon leave remaining in the spiritual "land" of God an escaped company of people who will go forth, those who did not listen to double-faced visionaries under the demonic influence of false prophetesses during the "appointed times of the nations". We went "up out of the land" in order to refine other escapees through the calamity that Jehovah brought upon spiritual "Jerusalem". (Hosea 1:11). To those who remain faithful to our Lord we say: Come forth, and we will all be comforted together! (Ezek 14:21-23).
