And he says in verse 29 for lo I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name
Which is Jerusalem and?
Shall ye be utterly unpunished ye shall not be unpunished for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth
Sayeth the Lord of hosts therefore prophesy thou against them all these words and say unto them
The Lord shall roar from on high and utter his voice from his holy habitation. He shall mightily roar upon his habitation
He shall give a shout as they that tread the grapes
against all the inhabitants of the earth a noise shall come even to the ends of the earth for the Lord had the
Controversy with the nation's he will plead with all flesh
He will give them that are wicked to the sword sayeth Lord. I mean God's got a bone to pick with everybody
That's what it's saying here. He's got a controversy with the nation's he will plead with all flesh
Verse 32 thus sayeth the Lord of hosts be old evil shall go forth from nation to nation and a great
Whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth and the slain of the Lord shall be at that day
From one end of the earth even under the other end of the earth
They shall not be lamented neither gathered nor buried
They shall be dung upon the ground howl ye shepherds and cry and wallow yourselves in the ashes
Ye principle of the flock for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel
and the shepherds shall have no way to flee nor the principle of the flock to escape a voice of the cry of the
Shepherds and an howling of the principle of the flock shall be heard for the Lord had spoiled their pasture and the peaceable
Avotations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the Lord
He hath forsaken his covert as the lion for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor and
Because of his fierce anger. So God here is likened unto a lion
that's hidden in a covert some kind of a covering and
it's like he just comes out with a vengeance just ready to just rip something apart and that's how God is sometimes
God hides himself and
We see evil prosper and we see people get away with wickedness and
They think that they're getting away with it and that God's not gonna judge God has forgotten
But in reality, he's just waiting until the time is right
When he's just gonna pounce and he's gonna rip them apart and you know
God has a different timetable than us because with God a day is like a thousand years
So we might think that God is allowing evil to prosper for so long
But for him, it's just a short time because he knows that in just a few years
He's gonna cloud up and rain on these people
So the world doesn't understand that and they continue in their wickedness thinking. Oh, look, I haven't been judged yet
But once it comes down on them like a ton of bricks, then it's too late and even in our personal lives
We need to not just sit and wait
See you we don't want to put our foot in the water of sin
Tested see nothing bad's happening. Look I'm up to my knees nothing bad says he everything's fine, you know
Hey, look, I'm not up to my waist now. Everything's good, you know, look I'm all the way out of my
You know the alligator the alligator comes and rips us apart
That's life
That's life people just go and just said oh, yeah, this is great until it all isn't great and
Then they say oh, I'm such an idiot
Look, how many people could we find who are old who could just tell you what an idiot they've been?
Right
We could find all the old
Drunks and we could find all the old drug addicts and we could find the old fornicators and the old adulterers and everything
You know, I mean how many do you need to talk to you?
Why don't you just trust the Lord that he said that that that that that that way of life is doomed
And why don't you just trust in the Lord that if we do what's right we're gonna be blessed
All right now board of prayer father. We thank you so much for Jeremiah chapter 25 Lord and
Thank you that you you you want your word to go to all the nations Lord, and I know that even today in
2016 you want the message of the gospel to go to all nations Lord
But I believe that you want the whole message of the Bible to go to all nations
That which is positive and that which is negative Lord, I pray that your word would circle this globe Lord and that people would hear
your word
Your wrath your love your long-suffering all of it Lord
I pray that they would hear all of it in this generation and every nation and tongue on this earth Lord
Just like you did in the days of Jeremiah Lord
I pray that you'd raise up men like Jeremiah that would thunder out
The word of the Lord to all nations and all people Lord and I pray that you would help us
To harken unto your word that we might lead a quiet and peaceable life and all godliness and honesty Lord
And I pray that no child or teenager that's in this church
Would go out of here and live a foolish wicked sinful life Lord
Because I believe that they'll be judged doubly for the preaching that they've heard because unto whom much is given of him shall much
Be required and Lord
I pray that that saying would sink down into their ears Lord that they would never forget those words of
Jesus and it's in your name we pray. Amen
