SUMMARY:

It appears that God is equating Familiar spirits with the Church itself in tribulation.The Church seeks for counsel, wisdom, and understanding from the Church. A word of God from their ownspirit, heart, and mind, rather than from God himself. God allows the church and false prophets to destroy themselves by their own rebellion in turning to another god, idol, and familiar spirits for answers because God has removed himself from the church.
