Jeremiah 6 – Jeremiah Warned Israel

 

Jeremiah saw the invasion coming and warned the people, but they would not listen to him. Jerusalem would be ruined, the sun would go down, and the harvest of sin would be reaped.

 

He saw the sickness and wounds of the nation and pointed to God as the only source of healing. The false prophets gave a superficial diagnosis and a false remedy, which led the nation into judgment (lam. 2:14). Beware of religious teachers who look only at the surface and never get to the heart of the problem.

 

Jeremiah saw the people wondering which way to go. The “new religions” confused them, so he called them back to God’s word. Seek “the old paths” of the word, not to try to repeat “the good old days”, but to go forward to do God’s will in your day.

 

Jeremiah’s words were like a fire that separated the precious metal from the dross. But the people chose to be cheap alloy instead of precious gold and silver.

All of God’s judgments were in vain.

 

Jeremiah told them what God said, “you have rejected my law, and I will reject you and when I reject you, the men of the world are going to reject you also.” It worked out on Jeremiah’s day and it is working out in our day. Our nation is making enemies of other countries and we are coming upon the final conflict. We must pray constantly for that revival that we are so much in need of. Pray always for our nation and for the nation of Israel.
