Jer 8:6-11
6 I listened and heard, But they do not speak aright. No man repented of his wickedness, Saying, ‘What have I done?’ Everyone turned to his own course, As the horse rushes into the battle. 7 “Even the stork in the heavens Knows her appointed times; And the turtledove, the swift, and the swallow Observe the time of their coming. But My people do not know the judgment of the Lord. 8 “How can you say, ‘We are wise, And the law of the Lord is with us’? Look, the false pen of the scribe certainly works falsehood. 11 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of My people slightly, Saying, ‘Peace, peace!’ When there is no peace.

When we go our own way, doing wrong and ignoring what God says about accountability and judgment, claiming wisdom and piling up teachers who deny the truth to make ourselves feel better - we ignore truth and cannot say we follow Christ. When we say there will be peace and work toward making the world heaven, we miss the heaven to come after the worst has come first. God will have His way by His word, for He is Sovereign of all.
