Keywords: Indignation, Fire, judgment, Lord, Jesus, Yshua, America, Church Words: 4755 We can say like the 3 Hebrew children who lived in captivity in an Idolatrous nation called Babylon. "We will not bow down to you oh King, we will not bow down oh nations, oh America, oh churches, to any one but the Lord Jesus Christ." "Our God is able to save us, but know this oh unbelieving people and nation that we will not bow down and serve you or follow your ways." Ezek 22:19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
20 As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave you there, and melt you.
21 Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.
22 As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury upon you.
23 ¶And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
24 Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation. The prophets of old did not mince words, that is, the real prophets of the Old covenant [testament] that is. They had their own prophets, people who lived in vanity, the things of this earth, and saw things from the secular religious context. They also were prophets who sounded good, looked good, and prophesied. These prophets of old had dreams, received words from the LORD [or so they thought]. The trouble is they laid their foundation on error, lies, and the vanity of the age they lived in. Rather than stand up against immorality and godlessness in Israel, these prophets along with the priests went along with the people. They did not stand up and preach against the immortality, idolatry, and fornication. Make no mistake about it; these people looked religious and sounded religious. They went into the synagogue at all the appointed times. They made their feasts, fasted, and prayed. These people also gathered, celebrated, worshipped, and sought Jehovah. They also made all the proper sacrifices. The trouble for these who lived under the covenant of Jehovah is they also sought other Gods. They went to Baal, Ashoreth, and others, during the course of their daily lives. Making sacrifices to idols, eating foods dedicated to other Gods in these feasts, they would also indulge in immorality and temple prostitution that went along with the pagan worship. In all these things, they would go into the temple seek Jehovah, then go out and commit all these atrocities against the true God again and again. The true prophets like Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and others preached holiness, dedication, and devotion to Jehovah alone. This made the people mad and ended up getting them either killed, stoned, put in jail, or ostracized.
Below, Jeremiah meets head-on with the people of his day preaching against them for their false trust. What was their trust? They would say, "The temple of the LORD" are these, referring to Israel, the priests, prophets, and the people who were uniquely in a covenant relationship with Jehovah. The problem was their trust was misplaced. They had cast out Gods covenant and sought other Gods and walked in other ways. They had conveniently persuaded themselves that no matter what they did, Jehovah would be okay with it. God sent the prophets, therefore, to convince them otherwise. Jeremiah 7:4 Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these. 5 For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour; 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. 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; 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.  Get the Free E Book now, download it in PDF
