...from the book of Jeremiah, chapter 28, where the false prophet Hananiah not only made a false prophecy that the Babylonian captivity would end and not extend, and said that this message came from God, but he also claimed that it would happen within two years.
That seemed, and was, a very stupid thing to do*, but now I understand that Hananiah was trying to make it happen, through his words.
I can see the same sort of thing going on in at least four different places in politics today.
*God spoke back through the prophet Jeremiah, said no way, and predicted that Hananiah would die within one year, which he did.

The truck driver who ended up right in the middle of a protest on the highway in Minneapolis in June, was arrested and then released without charges, has now been charged for not wanting to park in the middle of hundreds of protesters--some of whom were climbing on his truck and pulling the door open--and for being the nearest thing to a white supremacist that the authorities could find in or around the riots. The action happens starting at about 13 minutes, 30 seconds in the article's second video.
Not mentioned in the article is that the driver himself received minor injuries, when the protesters pulled him from his truck.
