Jeremiah 32
The Book of Jeremiah
Jeremiah 32:1 The word that came to
Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of
Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.
2 For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem: and
Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison,
which was in the king of Judah's house.
3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore
dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will
give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he
shall take it;
4 And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of
the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of
the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth,
and his eyes shall behold his eyes;
5 And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be
until I visit him, saith the Lord: though ye fight with the
Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper.
6 And Jeremiah said, The word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
7 Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come
unto thee, saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for
the right of redemption is thine to buy it.
8 So Hanameel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of the
prison according to the word of the Lord, and said unto me, Buy
my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the
country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is thine, and
the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I knew that
this was the word of the Lord.
9 And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle's son, that was in
Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of
silver.
10 And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed it, and took
witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.
11 So I took the evidence of the purchase, both that which was
sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open:
12 And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son
of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine
uncle's son, and in the presence of the witnesses that
subscribed the book of the purchase, before all the Jews that
sat in the court of the prison.
13 And I charged Baruch before them, saying,
14 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these
evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both which is sealed,
and this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen
vessel, that they may continue many days.
15 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses
and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.
16 Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase unto
Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the Lord, saying,
17 Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth
by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing
too hard for thee:
18 Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest
the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children
after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the Lord of hosts, is his
name,
19 Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes
are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one
according to his ways, and according
to the fruit of his doings:
-
Righteousness Acts, Your Works are
the only thing you can take with you. NO
works, you are standing naked in heaven, no white lined.
-
Revelation 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven
saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from
henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours;
and their works do follow them.
-
Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small
and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and
another book was opened, which is the book of life: and
the dead
were judged out of those things which were written in the books,
according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and
hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were
judged every man according to their works.
-
Notice there are two books
-
The book of life is where your rewards are, from
your good works
-
They were judged every man according to their
works
-
They may rest from their labours; and their
works do follow them
-
The only thing you can take with you, (after
the flesh body dies),
is your works, your "righteous acts"
-
No works, you will be naked in heaven
Revelation 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my
reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall
be.
20 Which hast set signs and wonders in the
land of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and hast
made thee a name, as at this day;
21 And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs,
and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with
great terror;
22 And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to
their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;
23 And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy
voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all
that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all
this evil to come upon them:
24 Behold the mounts, they are come unto the city to take it;
and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight
against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the
pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and,
behold, thou seest it.
25 And thou hast said unto me, O Lord God, Buy thee the field
for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the
hand of the Chaldeans.
26 Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying,
27 Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any
thing too hard for me?
28 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will give this city
into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:
29 And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come
and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon
whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured out
drink offerings unto other gods, to provoke me to anger.
30 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have
only done evil before me from their youth: for the children of
Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their
hands, saith the Lord.
31 For this city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger
and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this
day; that I should remove it from before my face,
32 Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the
children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger,
they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their
prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of
Jerusalem.
33 And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face:
though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet
they have not hearkened to receive instruction.
34 But they set their abominations in the house, which is called
by my name, to defile it.
35 And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the
valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their
daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which
I
commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they
should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
36 And now therefore thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel,
concerning this city, whereof ye say, It shall be delivered into
the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine,
and by the pestilence;
37 Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I
have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great
wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will
cause them to dwell safely:
38 And they shall be My people, and I will be their God:
39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may
fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children
after them:
40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I
will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my
fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
41 Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will
plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with
my whole soul.
42 For thus saith the Lord; Like as I have brought all this
great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the
good that I have promised them.
43 And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It
is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of
the Chaldeans.
44 Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and
seal them, and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in
the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in
the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley,
and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captivity
to return, saith the Lord.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
