INTRODUCTION TO JEREMIAH
Jeremiah was of priestly descent, and born at Anathoth, a Levitical city a few miles northeast of Jerusalem. His commission was given him in very early life, and continued through the reigns of five kings for forty troubled years. He had neither wife nor child. His love was concentrated on his people, who ill requited it. The men of Anathoth sought his life. He was assailed with misrepresentation, bitter persecution, and murderous hate. He nearly lost his life under the displeasure of the King and princes, at whose command he was cast into a miry dungeon. He lived to see a faint gleam of returning prosperity overcast by the crimes of Ishmael and his fellow-conspirators.
He was a sensitive, delicately organized man, to whom it must have been a matter of peculiar trial to be called upon to play so prominent a part in those dark and stormy times, and to be “as an iron and brazen wall against the whole land.” But he is an evidence of what may be done by a man in whom the Spirit of God resides in mighty, living force. Tradition states that he died in Egypt, stoned by his fellow-countrymen. It has been often said that there are few Old Testament saints who afford more points of likeness to our Lord than does Jeremiah.

Like evolutionist did, Israel forsake the Lord, it is a lesson for us today still.
God is still calling the people of this world to repentance.
Thank you Lord for you Mercy, pleading with us to repent from our sins.
This disaster from the North came from Babilon, todays Iraq.
My anguish is that I do not serve my Lord well, not that it will save me serving Him, but because HE loved me first and saved me by HIS grace.
Let us not be found without the Lord, God of Hosts. Let us return to HIM through HIS Son Jesus Christ.
Today’s world, here in Australia and the USA, the rest of the world, Jeremiah 6 is applicable too.
Are we still sacrificing our children to Molech by not teaching them in the way of the Lord, therefor causing them to end up in fire where the worm does not die, a place called Hell.
It is just unbelievable to see what humans can do to Children sacrifice. We still sacrifice our children for not teaching them the ways of the LORD OF HOSTS.
Are our societies today any different than the Jews of that time?
How can any person or nation who has a God that speak to them directly, leave that Speaking GOD and follow wooden carvings who cannot utter a single word? It is totally not understandable.
Let us do what we can to keep Gods commandment, not because it saves us but because we are saved, they are good commandments and are just.
Let these words find a place in our hearts and let us honor GOD for his Righteousness; “You, O LORD are [uncompromisingly] righteous and consistently just when I plead my case with You; Yet let me discuss issues of justice with You: Why has the way of the wicked prospered? Why are those who deal in treachery (deceit) at ease and thriving?”
Let us hold tightly to the LORD of Hosts, and never be destroyed.
Let us read and learn the ways of The Lord of Hosts, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, Man Fowl and Beast.
Have we ever wondered why this world and its people are suffering the way it does? They seek it by rejecting the Creator of all things the Lord of Hosts.
The New Testament tells us that Satan Himself will be presented as a angel of light and will stand as preacher in the pulpit. and it is happening today just like in the time of Juda and Jeremiah and Isaiah, we still has false prophets today even.
We thank God the Creator of Heaven and Earth for his Son Jesus Christ who came to pay with HIS life for our sins, se we can have eternal life.
And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose.
And the Lord did at the end of the Babylonian era, 70 years after the went into exile.
Are we guilty as well?
For forty years and more the Lord maintained Israel in the Desert after they left Egypt, and the Lord showed them very clearly which day the Sabbath is. On the sixth day, they had to pick up a double portion of mana, one portion for the six day and one portion for the 7th day the Sabbath. Those who went out to pick up on the Sabath was killed. The Sabath started on Friday when the sun sets and ended on Saturday just before sunset. The days started at sunset and ended just before sun set.
Isreal are God’s elect to show us the way, just like Jesus and His Disciples of Jesus did.
We are the clay, GOD the Potter will form us in HIS way, we must just believe in him FATHER, SON AND HOLY GOHST.
We thank you for your God the Creator of Heavens and Earth, the LORD OF HOSTS, for Jesus Christ who came to save us, as we were like a broken Flask, totally broken and useless.
Read the Book “The Trail of Blood”
Book by J.M. Carroll to see how people in the name of God falsely persecuted millions of people and killed them. https://baptistbecause.com/Tracts/TrailBlood.pdf
Let us never forget that GOD is the Creator of Heaven and Earth, that HE is a Sovereign GOD and all that exist belongs to HIM, let us serve and Praise HIM every day of our lives.
