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.
