Disaster Predicted
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Jer 1:2Jer 1:4Jer 2:1 “You must not marry or have sons or daughters in this place.” 1Co 7:26-27Gen 19:14Luk 21:23Luk 23:29Mat 24:19
For this is what the LORD says concerning the sons and daughters born in this place, and the mothers who bore them, and the fathers who fathered them in this land: Jer 16:5Jer 16:9Jer 6:21 “They will die from deadly diseases. They will not be mourned or buried, but will lie like dung on the ground. They will be finished off by sword and famine, and their corpses will become food for the birds of the air and beasts of the earth.” Jer 25:33Psa 83:10Jer 9:22Jer 15:2-3Jer 22:18-19Jer 34:20Zep 1:172Ki 9:10
Indeed, this is what the LORD says: “Do not enter a house where there is a funeral meal. Do not go to mourn or show sympathy, for I have removed from this people My peace, My loving devotion, and My compassion,” declares the LORD. Ezk 24:16-23Isa 27:11Deu 31:17Jer 15:1-4Jer 16:6-7Rev 6:42Ch 15:5-6Zec 8:10
“Both great and small will die in this land. They will not be buried or mourned, nor will anyone cut himself or shave his head for them. Deu 14:1Jer 41:5Jer 47:5Lev 19:28Isa 22:12Jer 48:37Ezk 9:5-6Isa 24:2 No food will be offered to comfort those who mourn the dead; not even a cup of consolation will be given for the loss of a father or mother. Ezk 24:17Hos 9:4Deu 26:14Job 42:11Pro 31:6-7
You must not enter a house where there is feasting and sit down with them to eat and drink. Ecc 7:2-4Jer 15:17Amo 6:4-6Isa 22:12-141Co 5:11Eph 5:11Luk 17:27-29Mat 24:38 For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I am going to remove from this place, before your very eyes and in your days, the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of the bride and bridegroom. Ezk 26:13Hos 2:11Jer 25:10Jer 7:34Isa 24:7-12Rev 18:22-23
When you tell these people all these things, they will ask you, ‘Why has the LORD pronounced all this great disaster against us? What is our guilt? What is the sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?’ Jer 5:191Ki 9:8-9Deu 29:24-25Jer 13:22Hos 12:8Jer 2:35Jer 22:8-9
Then you are to answer them: ‘It is because your fathers have forsaken Me, declares the LORD, and followed other gods, and served and worshiped them. They abandoned Me and did not keep My instruction. Psa 106:35-411Ki 9:91Pe 4:3Deu 29:25-26Ezk 11:21Jer 22:9Jer 5:7-9Jer 8:2 And you have done more evil than your fathers. See how each of you follows the stubbornness of his evil heart instead of obeying Me. Jer 13:10Jer 7:26Ecc 9:3Jer 9:141Sa 15:23Jdg 2:19Jer 7:24Mrk 7:21 So I will cast you out of this land into a land that neither you nor your fathers have known. There you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.’ Deu 28:36Deu 4:26-28Jer 15:14Jer 17:42Ch 7:20Deu 30:17-18Lev 18:27-28Deu 28:63-65
God Will Restore Israel
Yet behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when they will no longer say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of Egypt.’ Jer 23:7-8Deu 15:15Exo 20:2Hos 3:4-5Mic 6:4Isa 43:18-19 Instead they will say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north and all the other lands to which He had banished them.’ For I will return them to their land that I gave to their forefathers. Jer 24:6Jer 3:18Jer 32:37Amo 9:14Ezk 36:24Ezk 39:28Isa 11:11-16Psa 106:47
But for now I will send for many fishermen, declares the LORD, and they will catch them. After that I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them down on every mountain and hill, even from the clefts of the rocks. Hab 1:14-15Amo 4:2Mic 7:2Rev 6:15-171Sa 26:20Amo 9:1-3Gen 10:9Isa 24:17-18
For My eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from My face, and their guilt is not concealed from My eyes. Pro 15:3Jer 23:24Pro 5:21Psa 90:8Job 34:21-221Co 4:52Ch 16:9Heb 4:13 And I will first repay them double their iniquity and their sin, because they have defiled My land with the carcasses of their detestable idols, and they have filled My inheritance with their abominations.” Isa 40:2Num 35:33-34Ezk 11:21Jer 17:18Jer 2:7Rev 18:6Ezk 11:18Ezk 43:7-9
O LORD, my strength and my fortress, Isa 25:4Nam 1:7Isa 2:2-3Jer 17:171Pe 1:18Hab 2:18-19Isa 44:10Jer 10:14-15
my refuge in the day of distress,
the nations will come to You
from the ends of the earth, and they will say,
“Our fathers inherited nothing but lies,
worthless idols of no benefit at all.
Can man make gods for himself? Isa 37:19Psa 115:4-8Gal 4:8Act 19:26Hos 8:4-6Isa 36:19Jer 2:11Psa 135:14-18
Such are not gods!”
“Therefore behold, I will inform them, Psa 9:16Jer 33:2Psa 83:18Amo 5:8Exo 15:3Isa 43:3Exo 14:4Exo 9:14-18
and this time I will make them know
My power and My might;
then they will know
that My name is the LORD.
