Je.23 "In the latter days" (2 of 2)

Man-child is a composite picture in the Vision of the woman clothed with the sun (Re.12). The iron rod that he was given is a clue to the identity of the Son. He is the way, the truth and the life. Antithetically what modern churches present is a composite picture of wolves in sheeps clothing. Their ravening appetite is for wealth while their 'Jesus talk' is like a sugar coating to bring in larger congregation ready to part with their earnings.

You judge the quality of a tree by its fruits. Faith of these false teachers is more in tune with the Barnum quote,'A sucker is born every minute.' Our Redeemer Lord did not have a fixed abode and for what purpose did he come to the earth? He suffered shame for our sake. "Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach (He.13:13,12)". In the present chapter the prophet accuses them thus,"Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith theLord./Therefore thus saith theLordGod of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith theLord(vv.1-2).

"....For every man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of theLordof hosts our God (v.36)".

"Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith theLord./Therefore thus saith theLordGod of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith theLord."
