Liar Liar – Man as Defender


Then I said: “Ah, Lord God, behold, the prophets say to them, ‘You shall not see the sword, nor shall you have famine, but I will give you assured peace in this place.’” And the Lord said to me: “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a lying vision, worthless divination, and the deceit of their own minds. Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name although I did not send them, and who say, ‘Sword and famine shall not come upon this land’: By sword and famine those prophets shall be consumed. And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, victims of famine and sword, with none to bury them—them, their wives, their sons, and their daughters. For I will pour out their evil upon them.” - Jeremiah 14:13-16 ESV


Back in the late 90s, Jim Carrey starred in the movie Liar Liar, a comedy about a lawyer who was a pathological liar and was about to lose his family because of it. Disappointed by all the broken promises and the outlandish lies told as cover, his young son made a birthday wish that his dad would tell the truth for a day. The wish came true, and as the movie played out, chaos ensued for Carrey’s character, but by telling the truth, he ended up getting his family back together.


Unfortunately, the prophets in Jeremiah’s day were like the Jim Carrey character before the birthday wish came true. They were big-time liars who never stopped lying. Not surprisingly, God made it clear that He did not send them or give them a message to share (verse 14). Yet, they claimed to speak in His name! They lied to the people with statements like: “Hey, don’t worry, be happy. No need to fret about the future; God has promised peace” (verse 13).
