What Happened to Jeremiah
Jeremiah 44:11-14, 26-30
11 “Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:
Behold, I will set my face against you for harm, to cut off all Judah. 12 I will take the remnant of Judah who have set their faces to come to the land of Egypt to live, and they shall all be consumed.
In the land of Egypt they shall fall; by the sword and by famine they shall be consumed. From the least to the greatest, they shall die by the sword and by famine, and they shall become an oath, a horror, a curse, and a taunt.
13 I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence,
So that none of the remnant of Judah who have come to live in the land of Egypt shall escape or survive or return to the land of Judah, to which they desire to return to dwell there.
"For they shall not return,
except some fugitives.”
26 Therefore hear the word of the Lord, all you of Judah who dwell in the land of Egypt:
Behold,
I have sworn by my great name, says the Lord, that my name shall no more be invoked by the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, ‘As the Lord God lives.’
Behold,
I am watching over them for disaster and not for good. All the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by famine, until there is an end of them.
28 And those who escape the sword shall return from the land of Egypt
to the land of Judah,
few in number;
and all the remnant of Judah,
who came to the land of Egypt to live,
shall know whose word will stand,
mine or theirs.
29 This shall be the sign to you, declares the Lord, that I will punish you in this place, in order that you may know that my words will surely stand against you for harm:
Behold,
30 Thus says the Lord, Behold, I will give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies and into the hand of those who seek his life, as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy and sought his life.”
Hebrews 11:1-35
By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.
By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
Enoch did not worry God. Enoch had God's compassion.
By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen
Noah did not worry God, Noah had God's Compassion and Care.
By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.
God knew exactly where Abraham was going.
God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared for them a city.
By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, bowing in worship over the head of his staff.
By faith Joseph, at the end of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites and gave directions concerning his bones.
23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they were not afraid of the king's edict. 24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, 25 choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward. 27 By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured as seeing him who is invisible. 28 By faith he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.
29 By faith the people crossed the Red Sea as on dry land, but the Egyptians, when they attempted to do the same, were drowned. 30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days. 31 By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had given a friendly welcome to the spies.
32 And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets—
33 who through faith conquered kingdoms,
enforced justice,
obtained promises,
stopped the mouths of lions,
34 quenched the power of fire,
escaped the edge of the sword,
were made strong out of weakness,
became mighty in war,
put foreign armies to flight.
35 Women received back their dead by resurrection.
What Happened to Jeremiah?
Jeremiah returned to live in the home the Lord told him to purchase from the prison hole in the Davidic Palace.
How did Jeremiah get there? Nothing is impossible for the Lord. Many possibilities.
Ezekiel said mere bones will rise up and have flesh.
Ezekiel 36
23 And I will vindicate the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, and which you have profaned among them. And the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Lord God, when through you I vindicate my holiness before their eyes. 24 I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land. 25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you.
26 And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.
28 You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
Many Possibilities. All Things are Possible with God.
Acts 20:9-10
9 And a young man named Eutychus, sitting at the window, sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer. And being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead. 10 But Paul went down and bent over him, and taking him in his arms, said, “Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him.”
John 5:13
The man didn't know,
for Jesus had disappeared into the crowd.
Luke 4:30
Jesus passing through their midst,
he went away.
David knew where to go in Battle, The Lord directed him to know by the wind in the trees.
Hezekiah was about to be killed by great armies. They became confused and attacked each other and went home and slaughtered the king, their father.
2 Chronicles 20:20-22
20 And they rose early in the morning and went out into the wilderness of Tekoa. And when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be established; believe his prophets, and you will succeed.” 21 And when he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed those who were to sing to the Lord and praise him in holy attire, as they went before the army, and say,
“Give thanks to the Lord,
for his steadfast love endures forever.”
22 And when they began to sing and praise, the Lord set an ambush against the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah so that they were routed.
Another time singing was used, the enemy army couldn't tell which direction the bold, confident singing was coming from, and, confused, the enemy army killed each other until the entire army was dead.
Gideon also did this with mere noise, in the middle of the night.
2 Chronicles 22:11
11 But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the king's sons who were about to be put to death, and she put him and his nurse in a bedroom. Thus Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram and wife of Jehoiada the priest, because she was a sister of Ahaziah, hid him from Athaliah, so that she did not put him to death.
David killed Goliath with a stone.
David was a Shepherd, as surely as Jeremiah was the Shepherd of Israel. Jeremiah 50 refers to a lion and safety.
1 Samuel 17:34-37
But David said to Saul, “Your servant used to keep his father’s sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, I went out after it and struck it, and delivered the lamb from its mouth; and when it arose against me, I caught it by its beard, and struck and killed it. Your servant has killed both lion and bear."
Abba, Father,
Chapter 49 of the Isaiah Scroll from the Dead Sea Scrolls
Isaiah 49:8-15
Thus says the Lord:
“In a time of favor I have answered you;
in a day of salvation I have helped you;
I will keep you and give you
as a covenant to the people,
to establish the land,
to apportion the desolate heritages
Saying to the prisoners, ‘Come out,’
to those who are in darkness, ‘Appear.’
They shall feed along the ways;
on all bare heights shall be their pasture;
they shall not hunger or thirst,
neither scorching wind nor sun shall strike them,
for he who has pity on them will lead them,
and by springs of water will guide them.
11 And I will make all my mountains a road,
and
my highways
shall be raised up.
John 8:36
Therefore the Son
shall make you free,
you shall be free indeed
John 8:32
Then you will know the truth,
and the truth will set you free.
Thank You, Father,
Dwell in me,
Dwell in those I love and fill them with Your Love and
Hope and Glory.
All Your Promises.
Help us to Seek You First.
We pray strongly and diligently for the child in Wilmer, Texas,
the child abduction,
the 10-year-old boy
to be returned
unharmed to his family.
Let Psalm 122 be theirs.
And in Jesus Christ, we will finish well.
Please and Thank You, Lord,
I want to stop coughing now
and run on Joy.
We ask in Jesus Christ
His Holy Name
We should share The Peace
worldwide
The earth is the Lord's and the
fullness thereof
Amen
Almighty and Everlasting God,
You made the universe with all its marvelous order,
its atoms, worlds, and galaxies,
and the infinite complexity of living creatures:
Grant that, as we probe the mysteries of Your creation,
we may come to know You more truly,
and more surely fulfill our role
in Your eternal purpose
In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
