“Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.”
Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you, for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets — the woe of universal praise: when everyone speaks well of you, be alarmed rather than pleased — that is how false prophets were treated. Genuine prophets were persecuted; false prophets were celebrated. The popularity that satisfies is the mark of the message that tells people what they want to hear.
