God punishes the false prophet the same as those who listen to the false prophet. 

Ezekiel 14:10

“And they shall bear their iniquity; the punishment of the prophet shall be the same as the punishment of the one who inquired,” Ezekiel 14:10

Today, the punishment of the Jewish leaders will be the same as the punishment of those who listen to them. The Jewish teachers and preachers teach the Jewish people to reject Jesus Christ and to live only by the Old Testament. They will bear their iniquity. Punishment comes to the Jewish leaders for teaching the people to do such things, and to the Jewish people for depending on human ministers above Jesus Christ. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.” Matthew 23:15

The Apostle Peter and fellow Apostles spoke these words to the Jewish leaders, “But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by hanging on a tree. Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.” Acts 5:29-42

We live in a world today where the leader over the masses of people across the globe is the entity giving people what to think, feel, do, and say. This entity teaches people not to believe in God, to scoff at the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ, and to oppress the presence of the Holy Spirit. This entity, as well as everyone who chooses to listen to it, will bear their sin. The punishment of both will include the destruction of this world system and eternity in hell beyond the grave. The entity that gives people what to think and feel enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people in every city around the world. They are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

Salvation comes by believing in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
