Speaker:

It's Wednesday.

2

:

Yeah, it is.

3

:

It's Wednesday, Wednesday,

th,:

4

:

And you're back for another

episode of the daily Bible podcast.

5

:

And we are back in the

book of you guessed it.

6

:

Jeremiah.

7

:

Jeremiah 26 through 29.

8

:

In fact, uh, Jeremiah 29, 11, and one

of the more well-known verses spoiler

9

:

alert, often taken out of context.

10

:

That we find in the entire Bible.

11

:

So we'll cover that in today's

passage, in today's reading as well.

12

:

But before we get there, I,

uh, has been spending some

13

:

time prepping for a marriage.

14

:

That's coming up a wedding that I get

to do this, uh, this coming Saturday.

15

:

Excited about doing that.

16

:

And as I'm doing that, I'm just

thinking about how much I love.

17

:

Wedding ceremonies.

18

:

And in specifically wedding ceremonies

where it's two believers that are getting

19

:

married, which is obviously the ideal

for us, but the reason I love it is

20

:

because anytime I do a wedding, there's

always unbelievers that are there.

21

:

And, and I know that there's so

much about a believers' wedding, a

22

:

Christian wedding that doesn't make

sense unless, you know, Christ, there's

23

:

so much about it, that, that people

sit there and they shake their heads.

24

:

When I'm talking to.

25

:

The bride and saying,

look, God's role for you.

26

:

His job for you is he's calling

you to submit to your husband

27

:

as Christ does the church.

28

:

You can almost.

29

:

Feel the, the, the simmering in

some of the audience they're going,

30

:

I can't believe how outdated this

is and how absurd that is, that

31

:

they would say that the wife's

job has to submit to her husband.

32

:

And then the husband to say,

Hey, you need to love your wife.

33

:

As Christ loved the church and

gave himself up for they usually

34

:

we get less objections they're from

the same people, but specifically

35

:

that, that one with the wife and.

36

:

And yet it's, it's just

a picture of the gospel.

37

:

It's a picture of what's

taken place there.

38

:

And it's a picture of specifically, as

it says, there, submit to your husbands

39

:

as, as the church does to Christ is.

40

:

Is a, is such an important concept

in, in as to the Lord, because

41

:

really what that means is as the wife

submits to her husband, it's first

42

:

and foremost, an act of obedience to

the Lord, an active obedience to God.

43

:

Way before.

44

:

It's about her relationship

with her husband.

45

:

Yes.

46

:

It's about a relationship with her

husband, but what frees up the, the

47

:

wives there to be able to follow

the leadership of their husbands

48

:

is, is to know, Hey, you know what?

49

:

This is about my relationship with

the Lord, that, that this is an act

50

:

of obedience to God that I'm storing

up treasure for myself and heaven.

51

:

And honestly, this is not about what

the world tries to make it to be

52

:

about, which is about inferiority.

53

:

It's not that at all.

54

:

In fact, the same language

is used by Paul elsewhere of

55

:

Christ submitting to the father.

56

:

And so we understand that is not

in implying any sort of inferiority

57

:

to say that that Jesus submission

to the father is somehow, uh,

58

:

an inferiority and personhood.

59

:

It's not that at all.

60

:

God, God is father son, holy spirit,

three persons all equally God.

61

:

And so we wouldn't say that Jesus

has less God or, or a lesser God,

62

:

because his role, his submission

to the will of the father she's.

63

:

Just a different role in God's design

and that's the same thing for the wife.

64

:

And honestly the, the, the burden,

the, the much more difficult

65

:

task is given to the husband.

66

:

Uh, to love his wife as Christ loved

the church and gave himself up for that.

67

:

He might sanctify her.

68

:

That is.

69

:

Massive that that undertaking is, is

all but unattainable, uh, to, to love

70

:

someone as Christ loved the church.

71

:

And yet that's our target.

72

:

That's our goal.

73

:

And underlying all of that is

a need for the gospel, right?

74

:

Because we're all going to fail in

that husbands and wives that like are

75

:

not going to carry this out perfectly.

76

:

And knowing that we need to

have the gospel at the center

77

:

of our marriages as Christians.

78

:

And be quick to forgive and quick to

seek forgiveness from our spouse and

79

:

understand that this is not somebody who's

perfectly sanctified that I'm married

80

:

to, and I'm not perfectly sanctified and

we're going to sin against each other.

81

:

And we also just need to be ready

to forgive each other because of

82

:

what Christ has done for us and how

much we've been forgiven and God.

83

:

So all that to say super excited

about doing a wedding this weekend.

84

:

It's always fun to do that

times of celebration, times of

85

:

joy at our wedding ceremonies.

86

:

So looking forward to that, and if some

of you are going to probably be there.

87

:

Uh, but can't wait for that.

88

:

It's been a great couple of weeks here.

89

:

It comes to Bible church.

90

:

God seems to be building his

church, growing his church.

91

:

Which is awesome.

92

:

And we can't wait for him

to continue to do that.

93

:

Uh, as he brings more people to

the church and brings more families

94

:

to the church, we've got campus,

one-on-one coming up this weekend.

95

:

So if you're new to our church, And still

trying to figure out some things about us.

96

:

We would invite you to stay after the

service on Sunday for lunch,:

97

:

And hear more about

who we are as a church.

98

:

We'd love for you to

get registered for that.

99

:

We've got child dedications coming up.

100

:

In mid September, September 15th, I

believe his child dedication Sunday.

101

:

Uh, that is not about the children

as much as it is the parents.

102

:

We are dedicating the parents to

raising the children in the discipline

103

:

and instruction of the Lord.

104

:

And then two weeks after that, we've got

our baptism service on Sunday evening,

105

:

the 30th of September, if you've not been

baptized as a believer, now's the time get

106

:

registered, get signed up, get applied,

get all of the different synonyms.

107

:

That all mean different things.

108

:

So they're not really even

synonyms, but I'm just rambling now.

109

:

Hey, we want you in the

tank on Sunday, the 30th.

110

:

So sign up for baptisms.

111

:

That's the better word.

112

:

That's the word I'm looking for?

113

:

You can do that at our website there under

the get connected tab, and we would love

114

:

to see you get up there and, uh, and bear

witness to what God has done in your life

115

:

and take that important step of obedience.

116

:

So lots of exciting things going

on here at compass Bible church.

117

:

But let's jump into God's word together.

118

:

Jeremiah 26, Jeremiah 26 is

really message number 12.

119

:

So again, there's, there's 14

messages to open up the book.

120

:

We're going to get through message

14 in today's reading as well.

121

:

And then it moves on from this,

but these are these, these opening

122

:

messages, the opening Salvos.

123

:

That are delivered to Israel

and Judah specifically saying,

124

:

Hey, this is what's going on.

125

:

This is what's going to happen.

126

:

You need to be aware of that.

127

:

So Jeremiah 26.

128

:

Uh, we're still flashing back

here in the prophet prophesy

129

:

too, uh, before, uh, chapter 24.

130

:

And we're before chap chapter

24, by about 12 years.

131

:

This chapter here opens in

5 0 9 BC, about 5 0 9 BC.

132

:

We read that in the beginning

of the reign of Jehoiakim, the

133

:

son of Josiah king of Judah.

134

:

This word came from the Lord.

135

:

So we know the timeframe because

of the dates of the Kings there.

136

:

So about 609 BC, uh, verse three,

at this time, there was still, uh,

137

:

at least the offer of repentance.

138

:

Uh, I've mentioned this

time and time again.

139

:

I think this was more about

confirming the stubborn sinfulness

140

:

of the nation than it was anything

else because they weren't going to

141

:

repent, but it is a genuine offer.

142

:

And, and that's important

to know anytime we see this.

143

:

Anytime we see the Lord say,

Hey, look here, this is an offer.

144

:

If you will repent, I will do this.

145

:

It's not, it's not a lie.

146

:

It's not deceptive on God's part.

147

:

If the people really had repented,

he really truly would have relented.

148

:

And so th that's something

that we should bear in mind.

149

:

As we read through these, these

aren't just a false offer.

150

:

That's not really genuine.

151

:

It is there.

152

:

And yet at the same time, I think what it

serves to do the purpose, it accomplishes.

153

:

Is it serves to just show

us as the reader now.

154

:

Uh, the stubbornness of the people,

because they refuse to repent here.

155

:

Again, in verse three, that.

156

:

The comparison.

157

:

We find here to Shiloh, which was

once the police where God's presence,

158

:

dwelled, but had been destroyed by

the Philistines almost 600 years.

159

:

Prior to this time, he's saying,

look, Uh, careful because Judah runs

160

:

the risk of becoming like Shiloh.

161

:

Yeah.

162

:

I know you think you're fine because

the temple is here, but remember Shiloh,

163

:

I once had my presence dwelling in

Shiloh and that's gone and now I can

164

:

remove it from here just as easily.

165

:

And so that's a.

166

:

Uh, warning to the people, not to boast

in thinking that they're fine because,

167

:

Hey, we've got the temple in our backyard.

168

:

Verses four through 11 of chapter

26, Jeremiah here is seized

169

:

and drug before a tribunal.

170

:

Uh, to answer for these words

and so that the people hear him

171

:

prophesying against the city against

the temple against Jerusalem.

172

:

And they are outraged at this.

173

:

And so he's arrested and he's taken

and he's brought before this tribunal,

174

:

um, And in verses 12 through 13.

175

:

You see bold Jeremiah.

176

:

Uh, it's rep reminiscent.

177

:

If you were watching the

Olympics kind of, of.

178

:

The Sydney McLaughlin And if you

watched some of the interviews with her.

179

:

At the Olympics, she was being

told, Hey, you need to tone

180

:

down your rhetoric about Jesus.

181

:

If you don't tone down your

rudder rhetoric about Jesus,

182

:

you're going to start to lose out

on some of these sponsorships.

183

:

People are going to kick you to the curb.

184

:

They're not going to be

interested in you anymore.

185

:

And she responded by saying, I don't,

I don't care about those things.

186

:

I'm here to represent my

Lord and savior Jesus Christ.

187

:

And he's given me this platform

and that's what I'm going to do.

188

:

And so here, you've got

Jeremiah and Jeremiah's kind

189

:

of being told the same thing.

190

:

Hey, you need to tone down

the rhetoric about this.

191

:

Otherwise it's not going to go well

for you, but in verses 12 through

192

:

13, he says, look, the Lord sent me

to prophesied against this house in

193

:

this city, all the words you've heard.

194

:

Now, therefore mend your ways and your

deeds and obey the voice of the Lord.

195

:

Your God.

196

:

And so he's saying, look.

197

:

I'm here to do one thing to deliver the

message that God gave me to deliver.

198

:

And so you see bold Jeremiah

here in verses 12 through 13.

199

:

And then 16 through 24, though, it was

not unheard of for a prophet to be killed.

200

:

For words like Jeremiah's the Lord

was with him and did not allow

201

:

the same fate to be fall him.

202

:

And so.

203

:

It was dangerous and

they wanted to kill him.

204

:

And yet the Lord spared and the Lord.

205

:

Uh, kept him from that fate

because he wasn't done with him.

206

:

That's why, and let's not forget

that the reason why Jeremiah.

207

:

Kept going, kept preaching, kept

prophesying, kept going with the,

208

:

in the face of opposition with

the Lord wasn't done with him yet.

209

:

Uh, George Whitfield was known to,

to say on multiple occasions, I am

210

:

immortal until my work on earth is done.

211

:

Eh, what a mindset that is to say, okay.

212

:

I'm not going anywhere until God's

done with me as far as the work that

213

:

he has for me to do here on earth.

214

:

And so they're in.

215

:

Is, uh, is what we find here

with, with, uh, with Whitfield.

216

:

And we see it in Jeremiah.

217

:

As well here.

218

:

Well, Uh, we get into chapter 27 then,

and now we're flashing forward again.

219

:

So we were in 609 BC and chapter 26.

220

:

Now we're jumping forward to 5 97 BC

and Zedekiah is currently on the throne.

221

:

And so the time markers

given for us there.

222

:

Jeremiah 2071 in the beginning

of the reign of Zedekiah the

223

:

son of Josiah king of Judah.

224

:

This word came to Jeremiah from the Lord.

225

:

So we're jumping forward.

226

:

And again, you may be wondering

why we jump in backwards.

227

:

Jumping forward, jumping sideways.

228

:

What's going on.

229

:

Well, I think if, if nothing else.

230

:

It does serve to show us that the.

231

:

Th there was not a

positive trajectory here.

232

:

There was not like a where

the people doing okay.

233

:

With where they responding.

234

:

We get to see them.

235

:

In 609, we get to see them in 5 97,

and we're going to get to see them at

236

:

5 86 and, and the whole time there.

237

:

The people of Judah are still

rebelling against the gap against God.

238

:

They're still not doing well.

239

:

And so Jeremiah is continuing

to deliver his messages there.

240

:

Uh, Jeremiah 27, again, 5 97 BC.

241

:

On the throne.

242

:

Uh, there's a manuscript

issue though, with this verse

243

:

with some reading joy, Kim.

244

:

Uh, as king instead of Zedekiah, but the

rest of the context and the references

245

:

does that a cayenne chapter 28.

246

:

Uh, make it an easy decision for us.

247

:

So the manuscripts that say

Jehovah came not Zedekiah,

248

:

those ones are copyist errors.

249

:

Uh, that lead to that reading because

the rest of the context in chapter

250

:

28, the references are, does that.

251

:

And so that's what we should see

here is, is that a key to here in

252

:

chapter 27, verses one through 11.

253

:

Uh, you get a message to the

nations to submit to the impending

254

:

invasion by Nebuchadnezzar.

255

:

If they want it to go well with them.

256

:

Uh, for resisting him would

ultimately be resisting God.

257

:

So this is a message at Jeremiah.

258

:

The prophet delivers to the

nation surrounding the city.

259

:

Because Babylon was coming for them too.

260

:

And the message that Jeremiah delivered

to them was, Hey, don't resist understand

261

:

this is from the God of creation and

you need to not resist them because

262

:

if you resist the Babylonians, you're

going to be found resisting Dodd, and

263

:

it's not going to go well for you.

264

:

Well, verses 12 through 22, Jude is not

going to be left out of that same message.

265

:

It's the same thing delivered to Judah.

266

:

Babylon has already come up at

this point and taken some captive.

267

:

That was back in 6 0 5.

268

:

So Babylon is not such a foreign

thought that they should return

269

:

and do the same thing again.

270

:

So Jeremiah is warning the people

not to listen to the prophets who are

271

:

speaking falsely again, the prophet

saying comfort, comfort, peace, peace.

272

:

My people, when there

is no peace or comfort.

273

:

He's warning them not to resist less.

274

:

They become a city.

275

:

Uh, that is, uh, just a desolation.

276

:

So Jeremiah is saying it's, it's not over.

277

:

Uh, don't think that,

that, that that's it.

278

:

And just because you survived

the first round of exile

279

:

that you're going to be fine.

280

:

Don't be fooled in by your profits, your

false profits, seeing everything's good.

281

:

And don't worry about it.

282

:

Jeremiah is warning them to, to

remember and to understand the

283

:

judgment that's coming and to.

284

:

To, to repent and, and, and, and

that's so much of the book of Jeremiah.

285

:

Okay.

286

:

If you're sitting here going, man, I just.

287

:

We're 5 97.

288

:

We're 605 we're 5 86.

289

:

I don't know where we are.

290

:

I don't know what to do.

291

:

Here's what you need to know about the

book of Jeremiah, the book of Jeremiah,

292

:

again, written by the weeping prophet.

293

:

Is all about the impending exile of

Judah and time, and time and time again

294

:

in the book, he's bringing this message

saying to them, here's what you've done.

295

:

Here's your sin.

296

:

Here's the judgment that's coming.

297

:

So you need to repent.

298

:

That's what Jeremiah is about.

299

:

It's about calling the nation of Judah

still to repent, even as Babylon is

300

:

building the seeds, ramps up to the city.

301

:

Even as some have already

been taken captive into exile.

302

:

Uh, Jeremiah is about trying to

get the people to truly repent.

303

:

And if they would truly

repent, God would truly relent.

304

:

And that's what the book of

Jeremiah is really about.

305

:

All right.

306

:

Chapter 28.

307

:

Chapter 28.

308

:

The, uh, the, the chapter here

opens up and we do have another

309

:

quasi textual issue here.

310

:

It says in that same year, in the

beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of

311

:

Judah, the fifth month of the fourth year.

312

:

So now we're in the fourth year.

313

:

So, so that has led some to say,

okay, where are we here then?

314

:

Because it says same year.

315

:

So we're saying the same year of chapter

27, but now we're in the fourth year.

316

:

Uh, I was at a cash

rain, not the first year.

317

:

What do we do with that?

318

:

Well, 27 1 is probably

where the issue lies.

319

:

Uh, in other words, that, that verse,

that reference term at the beginning

320

:

of chapter 27, it's, it's more likely

that 28 1 is, is the accurate verse.

321

:

And we're still uncertain

about the correct reading of.

322

:

Jeremiah 27 1.

323

:

In fact that the Septuagint completely

takes Jeremiah 27 1 out just

324

:

because they're not exactly sure

what the original reading is, but

325

:

we do know it's during Zedekiah's

reign, uh, is during this season.

326

:

And, uh, and, and that's, what's

going on there in, uh, in 27.

327

:

We find in chapter 28, a false prophet in

the false province name is Hannah Naya.

328

:

And so don't get confused.

329

:

Cause sometimes we hear words like

Hannah and I are names I can't

330

:

and I, and we're like, oh, that's

a good guy because of Daniel.

331

:

No, this is not the same guy.

332

:

This is a different guy.

333

:

Another hint and I, and he's a bad

dude because he gets here and remember.

334

:

We've lost sight of this

and, and forgive me for that.

335

:

But Jeremiah has been

prophesying with this.

336

:

This yoke on his neck.

337

:

Uh, this wouldn't yoke on his neck and

it was a depiction of the exile that the

338

:

people were going to go into suffer under.

339

:

So here comes Hannah and I in him

and I comes in and says, listen.

340

:

Uh, verse two, thus says the Lord.

341

:

Of hosts, the God of Israel.

342

:

I broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

343

:

I.

344

:

That sounds pretty good.

345

:

In fact, so much so that

Jeremiah says in verse six.

346

:

Amen.

347

:

Amen.

348

:

Hannah and I may the Lord do so.

349

:

And may the Lord make the words

that you have prophesied come true

350

:

and bring back to this place from

Babylon, all the vessels of the

351

:

house of the Lord in all the exiles.

352

:

So Jeremiah is like,

man, so be it awesome.

353

:

Jeremiah is not in this

to build his own name.

354

:

He's not.

355

:

Uh, profit.

356

:

That's like, oh man.

357

:

Uh, he's undermining my

undermining, my prophecy, oh man.

358

:

He's he's taken my spot.

359

:

That's not Jew.

360

:

Jeremiah is Jeremiah is, is

about the good of the people.

361

:

And he saying would that,

that would be the case.

362

:

And then he says in verse nine, after

the prophet who prophesies peace,

363

:

when the word of the prophet comes

to pass, then it will be known that

364

:

the Lord truly sent the prophet.

365

:

Well then Hannah and I, it comes up

to Jeremiah and he takes the yoke from

366

:

Jeremiah, his neck and he breaks it.

367

:

And he breaks it and he breaks it

saying, look, this is what God is

368

:

going to do to the, the yoke of

Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.

369

:

Well, a little bit later though, the word

of the Lord comes to Jeremiah that the

370

:

Lord is true prophet who goes to Hannah.

371

:

And I and says to him and I at

verse 13, Hey, you know what?

372

:

You broken wooden bars, but you've

made an, a yoke of iron in her place.

373

:

And so it seems like whatever the exile

was going to be previous to this, it's

374

:

going to be even worse now because of the.

375

:

The false prophecy and the

lies of Hannah and I am.

376

:

Verse 14 for thus says the Lord I've

put upon the neck of all of these

377

:

nations and iron yoke to serve.

378

:

Nev Nebuchadnezzar.

379

:

We know from other prophecies that,

uh, the false prophets were, were

380

:

complacent or complicit in so much

of the, um, th the sin of the people

381

:

and the rebellion of the people.

382

:

And so God is saying, because of your

words, you've made things even worse.

383

:

Uh, for the people.

384

:

And then Jeremiah says in

verse 15, listen, Hannah and

385

:

I, the Lord has not sent you.

386

:

So he's pulling the curtain back.

387

:

He said, look, the Lord has not sent you.

388

:

And you've made this

people trust in the lie.

389

:

So therefore says the Lord in

verse 16, I'm going to remove

390

:

you from the face of the earth.

391

:

So, uh, yeah.

392

:

That's that's pretty stark, pretty

startling, not good for Hannah nigh.

393

:

So Hannah and I have the false

prophet, Jeremiah chapter 28.

394

:

All right.

395

:

Chapter 29, uh, chapter 29, we get

the, uh, the time marker there.

396

:

These are the words of the letter

that Jeremiah, the prophet sent from

397

:

Jerusalem to the surviving elders

of the exiles, to the priests, the

398

:

prophets, and all the people who've

never been in Israel, taken into exile.

399

:

From Jerusalem to Babylon.

400

:

So he's writing a letter to

those that are already in exile.

401

:

So probably shortly after

the 5 97 deportation there.

402

:

Uh, he is writing to those

that have been carried away.

403

:

So in that group would have been Daniel

and Hannah and I as Ariah and Michelle.

404

:

They would have been part of the,

the recipients of this letter from

405

:

the prophet Jeremiah, but he says

in verses four through 10, you know

406

:

what God is telling you, don't, don't

expect this to be a short-term thing.

407

:

Don't live out of your suitcase.

408

:

In other words, if you go to a hotel,

sometimes I'm sure most of you.

409

:

Uh, probably live out of

your suitcase in the hotel.

410

:

Some of you.

411

:

Uh, like to put your clothes away in

the drawers and that's good for you.

412

:

Uh, but, but most of us probably

just live out of the suitcase.

413

:

Jeremiah saying don't

live out of the suitcase.

414

:

Buy houses, build houses, put down

roots, get married, have families.

415

:

And at the same time.

416

:

Pray for the well-being

of Babylon in verse 10.

417

:

Uh, seek the welfare of

the city and pray for it.

418

:

And that's man, that should be our

focus right now as well for our nation.

419

:

We should seek the welfare of our nation.

420

:

We should pray for the

welfare of our nation.

421

:

These are things that are good for us to

do as believers, because it's going to

422

:

go better for us if we are doing that.

423

:

And if, if the things are

going better for our nation.

424

:

So he's telling the exiles,

Hey, pray, pray for Babylon

425

:

even, but put, put down roots.

426

:

He said, don't expect this

to be a short-term thing.

427

:

It's going to be 70 years.

428

:

Know that, understand that.

429

:

All right, Jeremiah 29 11.

430

:

This is the one that's out of context

for, I know the plans I have for

431

:

you declares the Lord plans for

your welfare and not for evil to

432

:

give you a bright and future hope.

433

:

Yeah, such a fun verse.

434

:

Uh, I remember growing up, I think my mom

had needle pointed that and put it up on

435

:

the wall at one point or another other

people have it stenciled in their homes.

436

:

Uh, listen, this verses

written to Israel in exile.

437

:

And it's, it's a promise to those

that are in exile, uh, of God

438

:

saying I'm going to bring you back.

439

:

That's that's the context.

440

:

That's the immediate context of

this now does God care for us?

441

:

Does he have a future and a hope for us?

442

:

Yes.

443

:

But should we preach that from this verse?

444

:

No, because this verses about

Israel and the exiles in

445

:

Babylon, this verses not about.

446

:

You suffering under, uh, you

know, a political regime that

447

:

you wish wasn't there, here in

the United States of America.

448

:

Uh, God does care about you and

he does have a future for you.

449

:

It's just not based on this verse.

450

:

Jeremiah 29, 11 through 14 is about

how God was again, going to visit

451

:

the exiles and bring them back.

452

:

They would have this hope in this future

in being restored to a land where they

453

:

had been removed from if and when they

would repent and seek the Lord and prayer.

454

:

That's what, what Jeremiah 29 11 is about.

455

:

And so it's listen.

456

:

Do you need to repaint your,

your kitchen wall maybe?

457

:

Uh, but you don't have to.

458

:

Uh, but all that to say Jeremiah

29 11 is not your life verse.

459

:

Uh, it's it's the life verse of

the exiles that were in Babylon.

460

:

God was talking to them specifically.

461

:

God has a plan for you.

462

:

Yes, I'm not denying that.

463

:

And it's a good plan and it's a plan

to give you a future and a hope in

464

:

being with him and being with Christ.

465

:

But, but Jeremiah 29, 11.

466

:

Isn't uh, isn't for you.

467

:

It's not for you.

468

:

Uh, Jeremiah 29, 15 through 19, then.

469

:

Things where, uh, we're going to go for.

470

:

Not so well for those that

were going to stay behind.

471

:

So in Jeremiah 29, 11 through 14,

again, he's writing to those that

472

:

are already in exile, but in 15

through 19, he's saying what about

473

:

those that are going to stay behind?

474

:

Yeah.

475

:

It's not going to go well, uh,

things are going to be bad for them.

476

:

There's going to be family and

there's going to be a sore.

477

:

There's going to be death and

it's not going to go well.

478

:

Versus the 2121 through 23, uh, two

more false prophets called out by name.

479

:

So 28 was Hannah Naya here, 21 through 23.

480

:

You've got two other

false prophets called out.

481

:

And then finally in 24 through 32,

you've got another guy named shamiah.

482

:

uh, who specifically opposed your Maya

he's called out here and condemned.

483

:

And so, uh, yeah, there you go.

484

:

26, 27, 28, 29, uh, of Jeremiah

is, uh, is done for us.

485

:

That's our message for the day.

486

:

So let's pray and then we'll

be done with this episode.

487

:

God, thanks for this day.

488

:

Thanks for.

489

:

Uh, just allowing us to spend

time in your word together

490

:

again, and we are grateful for.

491

:

Uh, just your kindness to us.

492

:

We want to be like Jeremiah and we want

to pray for the welfare of our nation.

493

:

We want to pray that you would allow us

to thrive as a church here to get done

494

:

the work that you have for us to do that.

495

:

We are.

496

:

Uh, like Jeremiah and George Whitfield

immortal until the work on earth

497

:

that you have for us to do is done.

498

:

And so we want to be faithful to do that.

499

:

And we do want to ask that you

would give us, uh, uh, Environment.

500

:

To do that well, and to do that with

as little opposition as possible

501

:

so that we can be fruitful and

effective and it help us to do that.

502

:

Be fruitful and effective, not to be lazy

because we're comfortable, but to be.

503

:

Um, aware of the need and, and to

really go after it and to Excel in it.

504

:

And so we pray that and we ask

that we pray this in Jesus name.

505

:

Amen.

506

:

All right guys, turn it against

them off for another episode

507

:

of the daily Bible podcast.
