The church leadership did not like this message--especially the part about their church falling from God's grace and protection, becoming connected with Babylon, and under its complete control (see Jeremiah 21:4-6, 27:2-6 & 12, 28:14, 32:3 & 28, 29:5-6 & 28, 37:9, 25:9-11).
Uongozi wa Kanisa haukutaka ujumbe huu hasa sehemu inayohusu Kanisa lao kuanguka kutoka kwenye neema na ulinzi, kushikamana pamoja na Babeli, na kuwa chini ya utawala wake kamili (angalia Yeremia 21:4-6; 27:2-6 & 12; 28:14; 32:3 & 28; 29:5-6 & 28; 37:9; 25:9-11).
