D.E.F.U.N.C.T. Origins

Shephatiah son of Mattan, Gedaliah son of Pashhur, Jehucal son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malchiah heard that I was telling the people that the Lord had said, โ€œWhoever stays on in the city will die in war or of starvation or disease. But those who go out and surrender to the Babylonians will not be killed; they will at least escape with their life.โ€ I was also telling them that the Lord had said, โ€œI am going to give the city to the Babylonian army, and they will capture it.”

(Jeremiah 38:1-3) GNT

Any bunch of depraved reprobates like the Clergy has to have started somewhere. We’re going to pick the Clown Show who had Jeremiah imprisoned in a latrine. Of course, portrayed for us IRL by The Usual Suspects.

Starring:

God’s spirit lifted me up and took me to the east gate of the Temple. There near the gate I saw twenty-five men, including Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, two leaders of the nation.

(Ezekiel 11:1) GNT

Honorary Members

To be Determined…

  • Jaazaniah
  • Pelatiah

While I was prophesying, Pelatiah dropped dead. I threw myself face downward on the ground and shouted, “No, Sovereign LORD! Are you going to kill everyone left in Israel?”

(Ezekiel 11:13) GNT

Consequences

  • Susan, no longer President of a local University

By your lies you discourage good people, whom I do not wish to hurt. You prevent evil people from giving up evil and saving their lives. So now your false visions and misleading predictions are over. I am rescuing my people from your power, so that you will know that I am the Lord.

(Ezekiel 13:22-23) GNT

Salvation

  1. Call upon the name of Jesus Christ,
