We see a prophecy come to pass in this chapter: Hananiah dies. Yet, there is no evidence that anyone noticed. They all seemed to believe Hananiah, causing the yoke that was to come upon them to be worse, but they missed a real prophecy. The death of Hananiah should have been a sign, but as is often the case, those who don't want to see a sign rarely do.
Be willing to see what God is saying, even if you don't like it. Jeremiah himself said he liked the prophecy of Hananiah, but recognized that it wasn't true. If it's wrong, it's wrong, like it or not.
