Jeremiah 44-45, Proverbs 8:1-21, 1 Corinthians 16
What God said to me – I used My prophet, Jeremiah, to warn the people of Judah of the impending judgment that was coming because of their idolatry and immorality and total rejection of My word. Even after seeing most of the nation taken into captivity, those remaining refugees doubled down and refused to repent. They blatantly said, “as for the message that you have spoken to us in the name of the Lord, we are not going to listen to you!” Then they bragged about continuing their sacrifices to idols. So although I have called you to be watchmen on the wall to warn society of the impending judgment for their idolatry and immorality and rejection of My word, don’t be surprised when their response is the same. They have made their choice and like the sin of Judah, there is coming a day when I will no longer endure it. It’s natural for you to be sad knowing how their repentance would change the outcome but stand firm knowing My kingdom is coming.
