மாசெயா (Jer 29:21)

பற்றி · About

Maaseiah was a false prophet who, along with Ahab, prophesied lies to the Jewish exiles in Babylon (Jer.29.21). In a letter sent by the prophet Jeremiah to the exiles, he warned them about the false prophecies of Ahab and Maaseiah, who were leading the people astray (Jer.29.20-23). Jeremiah prophesied that these false prophets would be punished by God, and they would be killed by Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon (Jer.29.21). The presence of false prophets like Maaseiah among the exiles demonstrates the spiritual challenges faced by the Jewish community during the Babylonian captivity.
