Micah 3:5 Thus sairh the lord concerning the prophets that make my people err.

Jeremiah 20 :Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who was also chief governor in the house of the Lord, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things. 2 Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the Lord.
3 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The Lord hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magormissabib.

John 15:6 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 17 These things I command you, that ye love one another. 18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. 23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. 26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: 27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

We never wanted to be a Pashur or renamed Magormissabib, a terror on every side . Jeremiah goes on to wish he had not even been born , he needed John 15. We never wanted to go against God and who He called. We never wanted to bring a message that He did not send. Micah , Jeremiah and Jesus shows His messages are never popular to those that do not know the Lord.

The world always made things about themselves and wanted to be high priest of this world. The world always wanted power and never wanted to be told it is not about them or the world. The Lord got very angry with those that made themselves high priest and did harm or discouraged His prophets. The Lord is more than angry now , the cost of this comes with a higher penalty after the Cross.

We all need reminding there is only One High Priest, no person on earth is higher than another. Micah was not popular , Jeremiah was hated and Jesus was hated . The message in that is very clear. I thank the Lord the book He had me write or my call never made me popular. If you are more popular than Jeremiah or Jesus was in those passages , you want to get and go low before He returns...It ended very badly for Pashur and it will end worse for those Pashurs now.

“Hebrews 12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven.”

If you are guilty in any form of being a Pashur and have hid , hurt discourage, discredited a person God sent with an unpopular message , you have today to ask forgiveness.
It was always easier to be Pashur than Jeremiah in this fallen world. The world always taught be high priest . Pashur was in the house of Lord that alone is a message...
