Jeremiah 6:26-30 KJV (4 verses)
26 O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.
The “only son” is Jesus Christ, “the spoiler” is Satan as antichrist.
27 I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way.
IMPORTANT word “try” here… the word is “to assay”, like you assay gold or silver. You burn it, test it, over a very hot fire. The real metal goes to the middle, the slag, or junk, boils out over the sides of the pot.
28 They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.
29 The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away.
Slag is good for nothing, useless.
30 Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.
“Reprobate” means rejected. Being rejected by God would be the worst thing that could ever happen to you.
The spoiler (verse 26) is coming first. You are going to put the gospel armour on and defeat him spiritually, with the Word of God, if you have the true Word of God.
Have you read it?
