Discuss Jeremiah 6

Revelation Seal One:

Daniel 8:23-25 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.

25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

To understand the first seal of Revelation which is parallel to the " Daniel 9:27" covenant; we have to gain wisdom and understanding on what exactly the white horse of Revelation 6:1-2 represents. We can see a similar concept here to the Mahdi of Islam; who is said to come this exact way on a white horse and makes a seven year pact (from what I can tell is in a Hadith rather than specifically mentioned in the Koran but I don't want to focus on that here). My point is the idea of peace through force or SUBMISSION. The point in verse 24 of Daniel 8 is also translated as causing "astonishing devestation". This would likely be the scenario where he takes over the 3 nations of the 10 mentioned in Daniel 7:8. That would possibly be related to a limited nuclear conflict but could of course be a type of "blitzkrieg" that is a sudden assault rendering enemies helpless. SInce this is a power struggle that could be the emphasis here.

These passages also show judgment by God; even in false peace. Jeremiah 6:14 and 8:11 bolster what is seen in Thessalonians about false peace ( 1 Thess. 5:3). The world shall believe in "THE LIE" in 2 Thessalonians 2:11 and the Jews will believe in another who comes in his own name as John 5:43 shows with Jesus warning His own people with what they indeed WILL do in the future. God will use men and Satan to do His will.

The necessity of Satan (part four)

Matthew 13:24-43 discusses the parable of the wheat and the tares; ending with a private discussion with the Disciples. This necessity of such a condition WITHIN the professing church also must exist along with the general contrast between believers and unbelievers. Therefore; in general we must not only have confession but POSSESSION of the Holy Spirit in order to have genuine salvation (see Ezekiel 36:26). This principle in scripture cannot be overemphasized; if Christ found His greatest resistance from the "religious" leaders among the Jews of that day; we can be certain much of our opposition will come from those calling themselves Christians. Surely judgment begins at the house of God ( 1 Peter 4:17).

If we are honest with history there are errors that can be found with fallible human beings even in the best denominations (sometimes despite truthful doctrines). I call Satan the "equal opportunity destroyer" because he doesn't discriminate as to what means of deception he uses and hence it fits his character hating everyone created in the image of God. He only hates the most those who are a threat to his kingdom; those who can see past the veil over all mankind ( 2 Cor. 4:3-6). His methods are myriad-mind control; fear; temptations; bondage; etc. People are used according to his purpose and we should be aware that his web is everywhere in this current world system. Things can and must get worse; worse than in all human history as Jesus promised for the end times to come for God's plans to come to fruition ( Matt. 24:21). Of course the world wants to hear that peace is coming "peace; peace when there is no peace." ( Jeremiah 6:14). There is no peace; however for the wicked as God states in Isaiah 48:22 and other places in that book and the rest of scripture as well.

Incredibly the world will fall for "the lie" ( 2 Thess. 2:9-12). Whatever utopia is offered (AI or otherwise) God will use to purge the dross

John 9:31] Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

Christianity all around the world believe for the most part God loves them and they are saved by grace and yet they still sin. This is not what the bible says at all in John 9:31. The blind man was kicked out of church for preaching the truth. This is something that was known and not some new doctrine or directive issued by the church council or church meetings that God does not hear the prayer of sinners. The ex-blind man who went to church all his life never read the book of the law as brail was not invented yet for people to read. Yet, he heard something from behind the pulpit that stood out in his mind, unlike any other verse or scripture. I believe Isaiah 59:1-2 was reinforced into his mind over and over again in order for the ex-blind man to come up with the truth.

Isaiah 59:1] Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

[2] But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

The ex-blind man was excommunicated from his church for preaching the truth. You go down and preach what the ex-blind man in John 9 preached and you will be out in the street. Churches don't want to hear God does not hear the prayers of sinners. Churches want to indulge in their riot with their ungodly events and way of living for the devil up to their neck in sin and unrighteousness. To get churches to go back to the old ways of revival like Jeremiah 6:16 will never happen, as they have tasted too much of the world and the devil's delights and are not interested in engaging with the words of Jesus Christ which are spirit and life John 6:63. All sin is of the devil 1st John 3:8. Tge wages or payment is called hellfire and brimstone Romans 6:23. I am an ex-sinner saved by grace, an ex-sinner is a righteous person Romans 6:18.

Psalm 74

We see the theme here as in much of the Book of Lamentations where God appears to have cast His presence from His people. When we get to chapter 3; verse 31 He promises not to "cast them off forever." Isaiah 26:20 describes God Himself stating that He had turned away for a short time but would return with mercy. Again; the final prophetic application would appear to be in Revelation (or the time of Jacob's trouble in Jeremiah 30:7).

The "perpetual desolations" in verse 3 of this Psalm remind us of the "Abomination of Desolation" when the Temple is overtaken by Antichrist much as it was with Antiochus Epiphanes earlier in Daniel 9:25-27 and quoted by Christ starting in Matthew 24:15.

Verse 8 is as far as I know the only passage in scriptures mentioning the word synagogues; here they were being burned up by the enemy; likely prophetic of the Babylonians and of course the end times. Blasphemy as seen in Revelation 13 is mentioned in verse 18. The prophets being seen no more could refer ahead to the intertestamental times or again when there is vision sought in the end times by false prophets who predicted peace; peace when there is no peace ( Jeremiah 6:14).

Verse 20 implores God to "have respect unto the Covenant" as related; no doubt to the Promised Land. Once again the poor and needy are sought out as those who the Lord will restore; and the Psalm ends with a plea not to forget those enemies and their "tumult". Surely God will come soon; but will there be any faith on the earth when that Day comes? (See Luke 18:8).

Signs of the times-the rapture.

There are certain principles that we do wise to adhere to in regard to this subject. I have discussed in other posts about the possible misinterpretation of the actual beginning of the final generation mentioned in Matthew 24:34. Obviously; if it is to be as the time of Noah or Lot as stated later on in the same chapter there need be no catastrophic event immediately preceding the event; and in fact it would seem that it is the opposite. It would seem that certain events if not the actual "birth pains" at present certainly could be foreshadows; however.

Principle One: In regard to the above statement; we do wise not to do any "date setting". It seems from scripture that a good argument can be made for a Feast of Trumpets for the Rapture; but I am not going to get into a dogmatic argument on that at present. There are certain things that should be examined; however. The state of the church today and many "falling away" ( 2 Thess. 2:3) should raise alarm bells. The danger of too much worldly comfort lulling us to sleep should be clear in the Laodicean church example; as well as all the other churches with right and wrong actions in the same book. We should heed lives such as that of Lot and Noah to notice their surroundings in much worldly wealth; carousing and carelessness. Sudden destruction come; of course when they are calling for Peace and Safety (security) in 1 Thessalonians 5:3; when of course according to other scriptures there is no peace ( Jeremiah 6:14). It appears that eventually after the Rapture after the covenant is confirmed in the 1st Seal that a "pseudo-peace" occurs; as "peace is taken from the earth" afterwards at the 2nd Seal ( Rev. 6:4). For there to be a final covenant "confirmed" in Daniel 9:27 there has to be a framework which has successes and builds up eventually to that level. Such is the basic groundwork laid out in the "Abraham Accords".

The dangers of the lukewarm church.

Jeremiah 6:14 talks about healing slightly by declaring peace, peace when there is no peace. Such is much like the state of a lukewarm church; in front of the raging spiritual battlefront. When our garments are filthy ( Zech. 3:3) we are compromised to the point that the enemy of our souls has rendered us ineffective to battle. This means we aren't even fighting the good fight ( 1 Tim. 6:12). Others who are capable of putting on the full armor of God; and even have knowledge of how to use the weapons at hand are at times not being diligent to use them. This often starts with leadership; who may have the correct doctrines; but don't put heartfelt prayer in the beginning of their sermons. How refreshing would it be to be as Daniel; honestly assessing the rebellion of His people and the results ( Dan. 9:4-19). When we are desperate enough to realize that only He who is ever interceding for us as our High Priest ( Heb. 7:25) can cause us to overcome; then we begin to fight. Our enemy never sleeps; day and night seeking whom He can devour ( 1 Peter 5:8).

Many are battle weary; and have little strength from being shell shocked. ( Rev. 3:8). Should not we support our brothers and sisters; that remnant who bear the brunt for many others who have sidelined themselves through deliberate sins; unknown distractions or just careless abandon while casualties mount? When one part of the Body hurts; we all hurt and when one rejoices all do ( 1 Cor. 12:26). We must begin to understand that His Body is truly where our identity is as adopted children. ( Eph. 1:4; etc.) Just as a marriage ceases to define us and our own individual identities apart from the other; we are no longer to conform to this world but be transformed into the image of His Son. ( Romans 12:2). His sufferings in some sense become ours ( 2 Cor. 1:5). We can rejoice that our end is as His in glory; and that He bore our sins on the tree.

Hello Dennis. The comment that you read, referring to Jeremiah 6:20, is likely the writer's thoughts expanded to include the Christian's stance before God today. What was spoken against Jerusalem in those early times, she who failed to listen to the prophetic Word (v17), refused to "walk in the old paths" (or, live according to God's Directions for them) (v16), & who couldn't even blush for all the abominations that they were committing (v15); all these sins, & more, were before God's Face & He would deal with them.

Yet, in spite of their sins, they had the audacity to offer burnt offerings & sacrifices to God for their sins (v20), when they had no intention of forsaking their sins & their pitiful condition. This is what is termed as 'hypocrisy': their hypocritical behaviour might appease their consciences & they might appear as devout to others, but God, Who looks on the heart, only saw a greater wickedness - sin being compounded by useless penitence & offerings.

We can note a similar warning given by Isaiah to Jerusalem much earlier ( Isaiah 30:1, "Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin"). And you can read the rest of that account in that chapter.

So, the comment you read in your Bible, was the writer's application to Christians today: not to think that our offerings of worship & service to God & to others have any merit, unless we first have a true faith in Christ Jesus, His Spirit living within us, & our lives showing forth God's Graciousness to us by living holy & acceptable lives to Him. Choosing to live a life of hypocrisy negates all that - all that which is wicked before an all-seeing God.

The Lord Jesus Christ standing on Mount Olive:

The seventh trumpet sounds:

"O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Bethhaccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction."

King James Version (KJV)

< > View Chapter

Jeremiah 6:1 Context

1O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Bethhaccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction. 2I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman. 3The shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place. 4Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.

When a believer dies, the body goes to the grave, the soul and spirit goes to God. Not all Christian believers will go up in the rapture or catching away as they haven't grown to that level. Some will have to endure the tribulation period of 3,5 yrs.

At death, a sinner suffers a threefold separation of his being:

his body goes to the grave, his soul goes to hell (sheol), and his spirit ascends upward to God. [ Ecc 3:21]

In the Old Testament Dispensation, upon the death of a believer, his body went to the

grave, and his soul and spirit went to Paradise, also called death and Abraham's bosom. After the Blood of Jesus was applied to the Mercy Seat in Heaven, the spirit and soul of a believer could go directly into the presence of the LORD ( II Corinthians 5:8).

Born again Christians, upon death: their flesh bodies remain in their grave (where they were buried, or wherever they died).

There is a scripture that "all souls belong to God".

Your born again spirit goes to heaven to be with Christ until the moment of the Rapture.

Then Jesus restores us to our resurrection body that is complete and will be with Him eternally, in Heaven.

Our faith in Gods promises is what accomplished that which is hard for us to understand now. Faith puts doubts to rest. Put your faith in what God days. Faith is strong and able to Rest in what God has said.

Remember Enoch? He loved God and fellowshipped with God. One day he just walked to heaven without dying...with his Lord. It was recorded in the Bible, so it happened. No body was found.

Strong faith in God will carry you through any situation. God spoke it, it will be done.

When faith wavers, run to the Lover of your Soul. He will never lose you or forsake you. You're not lost in a crowd. He knows right where you are.

Tell others what you know to be true. Be strong in His faith.

Barbara, may the Spirit grace you with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding. The traditions of man has distorted the true gospel. The traditions of man teaches heaven is a natural place with natural streets, natural buildings, natural walls and we exist much like we exist now; but the word of God teaches heaven is a person in a glorified body with no need for streets or houses or any thing existing in a natural state.

John 3:13 No man has ascended up to heaven, but he (Christ in the same glorified body he existed in as Jehovah in the old testament) that came down from heaven (and became flesh), even the Son of man which is in heaven (now back in the glorified body he had before).

Let's try to comprehend what is depicted as (spiritual) heaven (where the Spirit dwells).

1 Corinthians 3:17 Know ye not that ye are the TEMPLE OF GOD, and the SPIRIT OF GOD dwelleth in you.

Isaiah 66:1 Thus saith the Lord (the Father), The heaven is my throne, and the earth (dust, flesh) is my footstool: where is the house that ye (Christ) build unto me? and where is the place of my (SPIRIT) rest?

Psalm 127:1 Except the Lord (Christ) build the house, they labour in vain .....

Hebrews 3:6 But Christ as a Son over his own house, whose house we are....

Revelation 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I overcame and am sit down with my Father in his throne.

John 17:21 That they ALL MAY BE ONE as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that THEY also may be ONE in us.....

1 Timothy 6:16 Who (CHRIST) only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto....

1 Corinthians 15:52-54 In a Moment....Death is swallowed up in victory.

Isaiah 26:19 Thy dead men (we are dead in our trespasses) shall Live, TOGETHER WITH MY (CHRIST) DEAD BODY SHALL THEY ARISE....

Revelation 20:5 .....This is the FIRST RESURRECTION.

Luke 20:34-36 .....Being the CHILDREN OF THE RESURRECTION.

John 14:2 In my Fathers house are many mansions...

"Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death." Like the seed of faith planted, it starts slow, but will surely grow well, when planted in good ground! negligible at first, but soon a tree that all the fowls of the air may hide and rest in!

All great actions and thoughts have a negligible beginning.

2020 is a repeat of the above and the whole world is there again. The hour has arrived Just as a women who is 8-months, 3-weeks, 6-days it shall come forth.... so shall all GOD said come to pass. If on desire SALVATION JOHN 3:16-21 will guide all to SALVATION. SALVATION KEEPS from the lake of fire. Thank GOD for SALVATION.

Just a thought, but verses 22-26 sound like a prophecy fulfilled when Great Britain cam against the Abyssinian Kingdom of King Theodore in the late 1800's. For the Brits did indeed spoil them.

Saints as we get ready for our Groomsman our Saviour Jesus Christ and sound the alarm to the lost stay strong and know that the Lord is with you. We need to keep in the righteous ways and stay on the narrow path in all our ways. Keep going my brother keep going my sister. Please continue to read Jeremiah 6:18 in Jesus name may the Lord guide us in all we do.

you cant except the Lord and repent your sins, and then think you can go back to sinful ways, thinking your covered in the blood of Christ. When you except Christ you walk in his light, you choose a righteous path, otherwise it was only done in vain, outwardly not internally .. God Bless all, and pray for the lost always

Jesus spoke of the woman and the 10 pieces of silver ( Luke 15:8-10). the Woman is Zion ( Jeremiah 6:2), and the 10 pieces are each of his commandments ( Psalms 12:6). AND the one piece that went missing is his Fourth Commandment. You cannot find the missing piece without the light ( Psalms 18:28).

Verse 8-10: The woman is Zion ( Jeremiah 6:2), Light a candle ( Psalms 18:28

Verse 13, "For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them 'everyone' is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely"...

At that point in 'Time' God pasted a awesom judgement on that city/nation... in 2017 the cities / nations of the world has quilified for the same judgement... WOW, WOW, WOW!

Well, we read it like this: a real man or woman of God will not trivialize any part of what it means to be saved, or how one gets saved. The Holy Spirit uses holy Saints to convict the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. God commands all men everywhere to repent and believe the Gospel. Men of the world posing as Christian Pastors and Teachers water down the words of God to please men!

"They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people *slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace." - Slightly - Hebrew; qalal' - a prim. root; to be (caus. make) light; lit. (swift, small, sharp, etc.) or fig. (easy, trifling, vile, etc.) - abate, make bright, bring into contempt, (ac) curse, despise, (the) ease (-y; -ier); to make or esteem lightly, etc. How do you read this?

The church in Rev. that left it's first love was - Ephesus, not Laodacia. God spewed Laodacia from His mouth. Ephesus was salvageable; not so Laodacia.

God expressed his displeasure with the nation of Israel because they weren't sincere in their worship. Jehovah is not pleased with hypocritical worship.

Lovely thoughts!

God is OWSOME and he have a plan for us all if we are rebellious we will go to hell if we obey him we will see him one day really it up to us he is not going to take our free will away. Be careful how U treat the Lord Jesus Christ U no he he was sent by his father God so that we may have life everlasting it up to us to recieve what he have for us the bible say the day that u hear his voice hard not your hart .some of us really don't believe That there is a God U have a religious spirit which mean u have a form of Godlyness but u don't live for God u live for Satan u only have God in your mind not in your hart nor or u saved and u do not have the holy Ghost wake up don't let the devil trick u Repent ask Jesus to come in your life and truly live for him recieve ye the Holy Ghost Act chapter 2 verse 28 read the whole Chaper study the Bible and u will fine rest and u will get to know Jesus more start reading the bible from the Begining to the end pray that Jesus will direct u to a Church that preach his Holy Word Amen

God shows His Graciousness Patience in this chapter, for although His Children deserved His Wrath and Judgment God sends His Prophet Jeremiah to woo His chosen land, Israel,back to their Heavenly Father despite their constant rebellion.

This is the mind set of the world system and some who say they are Christians. God's Word is very clear on how and where He requires His children to walk. How in obedience. Where in His unchanging Word. In doing this we find His peace and enjoy His promised blessings. When we disobey we find our lives in untold disorder even as the people of Jeremiah's day.
