Two-Thirds Will Be Cut Off: In that day there will be a fountain opened to the house of David and the citizens of Jerusalem. The fountain will be for washing away sin and the cleansing away of uncleanness. It will be in that day, say the Sovereign Lord of hosts, that I will cut off the names of idols and the idols themselves, from off the land.

They will no longer be thought of or remembered. I will also cut off the false prophet. I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to go out of the land. It will be that when anyone takes to prophesy, his own parents will tell him, “You’re going to die for speaking lies in the name of the Lord.”

If he continues, his own parents will take the sword and thrust him through with it. At that time, the prophets will be ashamed of their vision when they tell it. They will be ashamed to wear a rough garment of a prophet used to deceive the flock.

Turn My hand on the Little Ones…

At that time the false diviner will tell people he’s no prophet but is a farmer. He will tell them he has been taught from his youth how to farm. However, he forgot his wounds on his hands. Someone will say to him, “What are these wounds in your hands?”

He’ll reply, “Oh I got these wounds playing around at my friend’s house.” “Wake up, O sword, against my shepherd and against the man that calls himself my fellow,” says the Lord of hosts. “Smite the shepherd and cause the sheep to scatter, and I will turn My hand on the little ones,” says the Sovereign Lord.

It will come to pass in the land that two thirds will be cut off and they will die, and a third will be left alive. I will bring the remaining third through the fire and I will refine them like silver is refined. They will be tried like gold, then they will call on My name, and I will hear them.

They will call upon Me; I will say, “It is my people,” and they will say, “The Lord is my God.”
