Jeremiah
17
– 21
As I read through Jeremiah I tend to drift easily, since
there is a bunch of stuff that applied to his time and through the Babushka
Doll Principle could apply to the future and even today. In verse 17:25 you
start seeing how this is:
The family of David
will always reign on his throne here. The kings and rulers of this land will
pass through these gates in chariots and on horses. As for their officers, the
people of Judah, and the citizens of Jerusalem, they will live securely
in this city forever.
This was an accurate prophecy for the time
and future since Jesus now reigns. This is why I get lost reading these … I
look at that and wonder what else I missed, so I reread it … and then forget
the context of the original quote and have to go back. Finally I just start
reading words and get lost in what’s being said. Sometimes I just need to be
spoon fed this meaning.
With that said go to Revelations and I can
say the same thing. I have also been spoon fed many different stories that show
the antichrist is (fill in the blank) and we are in the end times. I agree we
are in the end times, but again I get lost with muti-headed beasts and horns
that talk. But check out TheFuelProjects Revelations playlist. It’s the only
one that applies Revelations to today and makes perfect sense. His main point
is that when it goes down there will be no confusion on who or what is
happening.
Now I need to get back to Jeremiah.
Interesting how in verse 19:5 a favorite ancient god shows
back up:
They have built
high places and altars to Baal where they have sacrificed their own
children as burnt offerings to this dark and pagan god. How could
this be My people? I never taught them to do such unspeakable evil.
It never even crossed My mind.
Again I refer you to TheFuelProject and
their Know Your Enemy play list for an understanding of Babylon and the ancient
gods. But Baal keeps showing up again and again in scripture. I wonder how Baal
is represented today. I often believe science has changed that since Satan
realizes worshiping a lesser god never worked, so if he can’t be worshiped, one
must dismiss the supernatural altogether. And here we are today where science
explains the natural and therefore dismisses the supernatural altogether. Satan
wins.
Verse 21:5 is interesting when you look at
what God is saying:
With My strong
hand and powerful arm I will rise up and fight against you, fueled by My great
wrath, anger, and fury. Do you think I will fight beside you? You
misunderstand.
God
will fight, but not for Israel this time rather against. I don’t want to be on
the other side of God’s wrath and hence why I read the Bible. I want to ensure
I understand the context and what is being said. I am afraid of what is being
taught is incomplete or cleaned up many times in order not to offend someone.
