To begin the restoration of the reassignment of the prophetic weight of responsibility (as was in the bud of Israel into the world) would require the apportionment of a measure of collateral damage. There was a cancer in the world, which had to be removed by the LORD. The identification for the cancer is described in the following Scripture, along with the therapy that was prescribed to combat it.

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

(Ephesians 6:11-16 . . .)The constituent cells of the cancer were–each one–a human being. The more obviously malignant core cells are of this sort.

The prophets seemed to be much like, buds as from the vine of service to the LORD God. These buds were under constant attack, as collateral damage of the willfulness of Israel, by name, and, mankind, in general. Much of the time, this was a result that came in the form of, what we refer to as; mob rule. A notable incident of that sort is the following affront, which was in response to the prophecy of Micaiah. The king of Israel started the confrontation.

And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil?Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left. And the LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead?

And one spake saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner. Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him.And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith?

And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.And the LORD said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even so.

Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil against thee.

(2 Chronicles 18:17-22)It might seem to be normal that, the prophets of reference, the ones with the accusation of having a lying spirit would be offended. However, it does not seem reasonable that they would use anything other than prophetic pronouncements as the way to refute the accusation. Then, the king could have compared the claims of authorization. But, these prophets were a mob, and, therefore, they moved in the mob mentality. So, this is what happened.
