SUMMARY CONCLUSION

The Bible appears to be equating the MOUTH with the voice of the Church. Collectively the church is the VOICE OF GOD and therefore HIS MOUTH; whether unto salvation or judgment. When false prophets destroyed the body in tribulation with their mouth, they paved the way for their own mouths (collective body) to destroy them in judgment.
