WHITEWASHED WALLS

Calling someone a whitewashed wall is a biblical metaphor for describing one as a hypocrite, having a deceptive outward appearance of righteousness but hiding their inner rottenness or corruption (Matt. 23:27-28). It signifies a superficial attempt to cover up spiritual weakness, often used to describe false leaders who want to accuse the righteous by faith in Christ Jesus (Phil 3:9). 
Moreover, both the 'wall' and those who whitewash it are destined for destruction by God's judgment, for superficial coverings can never withstand His wrath coming against the disobedient and deceptive souls (Ezek. 13:10-16).

PRAYER: Dear YHWH, and Righteous Father, thank You for keeping me washed from within, far away from inward guilt, to stay purified for Your service, as a Christian. Please, keep me away from the influence of those who delight in hypocrisy, so I may remain faithful to the end in Jesus' Name,
Amen.


From Acts 23:3
