Thirdly, God permits them for mens ingratitude: because Ahab will not believe Micheah; therefore a lying spirit shall deceive his Prophets, to deceive him, Mic. 3.10. They shall build up Zion with blood. Because the true Prophets might not be suffered to build up Zion with good, therefore the false ones shall build it up with blood, Mic. 2.6. They had forbidden the sober Prophets to Prophesy; therefore they shall have drunken prophets, that shall prophesy of wine and strong drink, and walk in the spirit of falsehood, vers. 11. This is a sure, but a sore judgement, 2 Thess. 2.10. Because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved: For this cause God shall send them strong delusion, to believe a lye. Will they not adhere to the God of Truth? they shall be turned over to the father of lies. Tremble at this judgement, lest God deliver you up to erroneous teachers, who have despised his true Ministers.
