Jeremiah the prophet cried out against them in chapter 6,<br />

verses 10 thru 14, saying that they were taken because they<br />

rejected the Word of the Lord, and that the preachers had<br />

cried peace when there was no peace. Also in chapter 8,<br />

verses 9 thru 11, he said:<br />

down, and then the people shall ask them where is their<br />

secret flight to the sky, and there will be no answer.<br />
