Jeremiah 35
The Book of Jeremiah
Jeremiah 35:1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord in the
days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
-
The Rechabites were kenites.
-
1 Chron 2:55 And the families of the scribes
which dwelt at Jabez; the Tirathites, the
Shimeathites, and Suchathites. These are the
Kenites that came of Hemath, the father of the
house of Rechab.
-
They had become scribes for the tribe of Judah.
-
How would you like to have a Kenite keeping your
books?
2 Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring
them into the house of the Lord, into one of the chambers, and give them
wine to drink.
-
1 Chron 2:55 And the families of the scribes
which dwelt at Jabez; the Tirathites, the
Shimeathites, and Suchathites. These are the
Kenites that came of Hemath, the father of the
house of Rechab.
3 Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah, and
his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;
-
Don't be confused by this verse.
-
Jeremiah, the prophet, is the son of Hilkiah,
not Habaziniah.
-
Jeremiah 1:1 The words of Jeremiah the
son of Hilkiah, of the priests that
were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
4 And I brought them into the house of the Lord, into the chamber of the
sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, which was by the
chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son
of Shallum, the keeper of the door:
5 And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of
wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink ye wine.
-
Jonadab, the son of Rechab, had instructed the
kenites not to drink wine.
-
Would they obey their father?
6 But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab
our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor
your sons for ever:
-
Satan's seed obeyed him
-
We will drink no wine forever
7 Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor
have any: but all your days ye shall dwell in tents; that ye may live
many days in the land where ye be strangers.
-
Why?
-
Because God cursed Cain from the earth that the
ground would not yield her fruit and he would
always be a vagabond.
-
Genesis 4:11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her
mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield
unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be
in the earth.
-
It is a fact to this day that the earth will not
produce for a son of Cain (Kenites).
-
You may see a Kenites that owns a farm, but he
himself will not work it successfully.
-
These facts remain true concerning Kenites even
unto this day.
-
The kenites were following their father's
instructions, Satan
-
That is more than God could say for His
children.
8 Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father
in all that he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our
wives, our sons, nor our daughters;
-
Drink no wine, Satan's children obeyed him
9 Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor
field, nor seed:
10 But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to
all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
-
The Kenites were honoring Jonadab's instructions
to the letter.
-
The Lord had to have been disappointed that His
children weren't honoring Him by following His
instructions.
The church of Pergamos God was not pleased with
this church, Why?
Revelation 2:12-13
We see then, that this is an evil
place, where Satan exercises his power and authority.
Thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat.
Revelation 2:14 I have a few things against
thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of
Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumbling block before the
children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to
commit fornication.
These say they are Jews, and are
not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
False pastors, they attack you as a lion if you go again
them. Watch most of the media.
11 But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into
the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the
army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians: so we
dwell at Jerusalem.
-
It is very important to note that because of
fear, the Kenites began to dwell at Jerusalem,
which is in the land of Judea.
-
The kenites worked their way into the position
of the scribes for Judah.
-
Here they began to call themselves Jews.
-
Rightfully so; for a resident of Judea is one of
the meaning of the word "Jew".
-
However, this by no means made them a descendant
of the tribe of Judah, which is the other
meaning of the word Jew.
-
Neither did it make Moses' father-in-law a
Kenite, just because he lived among them.
-
This is why his daughters were driven away from
the well.
-
They were not Kenites by birth.
-
What's the key of
David?
-
The "key of David" is the knowledge
of the true genealogy of Christ as opposed to the genealogy of the
false Christ.
-
The "key of David"
unlocks the word of God and brings It alive with understanding.
12 Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying,
13 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Go and tell the men
of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive
instruction to hearken to my words? saith the Lord.
14 The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons
not to drink wine, are performed; for unto this day they drink none, but
obey their father's commandment: notwithstanding I have spoken unto you,
rising early and speaking; but ye hearkened not unto me.
-
God told Jeremiah to bring the Kenites of the
house of Rechab into the house of the Lord.
-
God's purpose in this was to show that they
would not break the laws of their father Rechab,
who was a descendant of Cain, who was of that
old serpent, Satan.
-
This was example for the children of Israel who
were not following God's law. Because the
Kenites would not break their father's (Satan's)
law.
-
Many of God's children today aren't paying
attention.
-
They are drawn away from Father by false
religions.
-
They say, "You don't have to read the Book of
Revelation: you're going to be gone''.
-
Many pastors say, you don't have to read the Book of
Revelation, etc.
-
It's up to you, follow God or man word
15 I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up
early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil
way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them,
and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your
fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me.
-
We need to find time to study God's word, to
know what's going on
-
The hour glass is inverted and the sands of time
are running.
16 Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the
commandment of their father, which he commanded them; but this people
hath not hearkened unto me:
-
Sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their
father
-
Their father = Satan
-
He promised that they would never want for a man
to stand before Him verse 19
-
The kenites are the negative part of God's plan.
-
Amos 6:14 But, behold, I will raise up against
you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the Lord
the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you
from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of
the wilderness.
-
Hamath = Kenites
17 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel;
Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of
Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them:
because I
have spoken unto them, but they have not heard; and I have called unto
them, but they have not answered.
-
How many times has God warned His children?
-
Over and over He promise us calamity or
blessing.
-
Do things His way, and expect blessings.
-
If you don't listen to Him, and you should
expect calamity in your life.
18 And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the
Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Because ye have obeyed the commandment
of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according
unto all that he hath commanded you:
-
God respected the fact that the kenites were
disciplined and followed their father's
instructions.
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Jonadab
the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever.
-
The kenites are the negative part of God's plan,
God promised they would not want for a man to
stand before Him.
-
They are still around.
-
The question is, can you be deceived by them?
