1) Word to Jeremiah from the LORD
- For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:21
2-4) terms of covenant, cursed one who doesn't obey everything commanded ancestors out Egypt, 'you will be my people, and I will be your God',
- I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. Ex 6:7
- I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people. Lev 26:12
- But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. Ruth 1:16
5) LORD fulfils 'land milk and honey' - land today, Amen
- We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first. As it has been said: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion.” For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? Heb 3:14-16
- God fulfils his promises today, do I have eyes that see and heart that understands? His yoke is easy and burden is light. Open the eyes of my heart Lord, I want to see you.
- Come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD our Maker. For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, the sheep under His care. Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah, in the day at Massah in the wilderness. Psalm 95:6-8
6-8) Listen to the terms of covenant, follow them: "Obey me", they didn't listen or pay attention, they followed stubbornness of evil hearts, curses on themselves.
9-13) conspired to return to sins of ancestors, disaster/prayer not heart, followed other gods, incense to Baal
14-17) Don't pray for them, they rejoice in wickedness, LORD called you thriving olive tree - fire, broken, LORD planted you, has decreed disaster for evil Baal worship
18-23) LORD revealed to Jeremiah, lamb, slaughter/ But LORD Almighty, judge righteously, test heart and mind - punish them.
- Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience. For the word of God is alive and active...it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. Hebrews 4:11-13
