Jeremiah 7
The Book of Jeremiah
Jeremiah 7:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 Stand in the gate of the Lord's house, and proclaim there this word,
and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all ye of Judah, that enter in at
these gates to worship the Lord.
-
He talking to ALL churches.
3 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and
your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
-
He said, change your ways and I will be with
you.
4 Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord, The
temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, are these.
-
Trust ye not in lying words
-
They were teaching their words not God's words
-
They tell them, you don't need to understand
the book of Revelation, your going to be gone.
5 For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly
execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;
-
Change your ways, do as God said, not man
6 If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and
shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk
after other gods to your hurt:
7 Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave
to your fathers, for ever and ever.
8 Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
-
Ye trust in lying words, you're not studying My
Word
-
They teach, God said let's all be happy and do
as we want to.
9 Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely,
and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye
know not;
-
They teach walk after others gods
10 And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my
name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?
11 Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of
robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the
Lord.
-
Matthew 21:12 And Jesus went into the temple of
God, and cast out all them that sold and bought
in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the
moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold
doves,
13 And said unto them, It is written, My house
shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have
made it a den of thieves.
14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the
temple; and he healed them.
15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw
the wonderful things that he did, and the
children crying in the temple, and saying,
Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore
displeased,
16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these
say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye
never read, Out of the mouth of babes and
sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
12 But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name
at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people
Israel.
-
Shiloh = place of rest
-
It was destroyed, because of the wickedness
13 And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the Lord, and I
spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and
I called you, but ye answered not;
-
I called you, but ye answered not, you trusted man
14 Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name,
wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your
fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
-
You trust in mans words
-
1 Chron 22:19 Now set your heart and your soul
to seek the Lord your God; arise therefore, and
build ye the sanctuary of the Lord God, to bring
the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the
holy vessels of God, into the house that is to
be built to the name of the Lord.
15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast
out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.
16 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor
prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear
thee.
-
Jeremiah 15:1 Then said the Lord unto me, Though
Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind
could not be toward this people: cast
them out of my sight, and let them go forth.
2 And it shall come to pass, if they say unto
thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt
tell them, Thus saith the Lord; Such as are for
death, to death; and such as are for the sword,
to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to
the famine; and such as are for the captivity,
to the captivity.
3 And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith
the Lord: the sword to slay, and the dogs to
tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the
beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.
4 And I will cause them to be removed
into all kingdoms of the earth, because
of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah,
for that which he did in Jerusalem.
5 For who shall have pity upon thee, O
Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who
shall go aside to ask how thou doest?
6 Thou hast forsaken me, saith
the Lord, thou art gone backward: therefore will
I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy
thee; I am weary with repenting.
17 Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets
of Jerusalem?
18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the
women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven,
and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that
they may provoke me to anger.
19 Do they provoke me to anger? saith the Lord: do they not provoke
themselves to the confusion of their own faces?
20 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, mine anger and my fury
shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon
the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall
burn, and shall not be quenched.
-
The cup of wrath will be poured out
21 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt
offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh.
-
God is saying, you eat it, I DO NOT WANT IT.
22 For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the
day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning
burnt offerings or sacrifices:
23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I
will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk
ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be
well unto you.
24 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but
walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and
went backward, and not forward.
-
They did not listen to My word
-
These have played church
25 Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt
unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets,
daily rising up early and sending them:
-
I have even sent unto you all My servants the
prophets to you.
-
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid?
shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?
7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto
his servants the prophets.
-
Amos
8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will
send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for
water, but of hearing the
words of the LORD:
2
Timothy
2:14 Of these things put them
in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not
about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
15 Study to shew thyself approved
unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing
the word of truth.
26 Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened
their neck: they did worse than their fathers.
27 Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will
not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they
will not answer thee.
28 But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the
voice of the Lord their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is
perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
-
They don't want to know God's word, they like
the lies of man
29 Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a
lamentation on high places; for the Lord hath rejected and forsaken the
generation of his wrath.
30 For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the Lord:
they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my
name, to pollute it.
-
They have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name,
to pollute it
31 And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley
of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the
fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.
32 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no
more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the
valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no
place.
-
They are spiritual dead, to God's word
33 And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the
heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away.
34 Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah,
and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth,
and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom,
and the voice of the bride: for the land shall
be desolate.
-
No joy, in Jerusalem
-
They teach their words, not God's words
