Jeremiah 8 (a)

The book of Jeremiah – chapter by chapter and verse by verse

Jeremiah 8:1-2 KJV (2 verses)

1 At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:

“At that time” – God is talking about the final generation and what will happen. He is speaking of the enemies of Israel (and Christianity) at the end time. Satan is moving in.

God’s wrath is going to come due in the fig tree generation, that’s the final generation to live on this earth. It had to happen sometime – if you’re here now, you may have an important role to play! Turn to God and ask Him what you should be doing to prepare, to sow seeds.

Remember, though, you can’t sow seeds (of wisdom) that you don’t have, so hurry! Open your Bible and pray, and find out what God wants you to do.

2 And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.

Even though the enemy will flatter you to get you to follow, they care nothing about you. God will save your soul, however, IF you have obeyed and walked in His ways. Read Jeremiah 7:23 to find out what God wants from you. Wonderful.

(Jer 7:23 – “But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.”)

Jeremiah 7 (I)

The book of Jeremiah – chapter by chapter and verse by verse

Jeremiah 7:30-34 KJV (5 verses)

30 For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.

31 And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.

Tophet is “the place of burning”, and Hinnom is basically hell.

God says, “it didn’t even enter my mind to have you burn your children as sacrifices.”

He says, “you are building your own hell.”

32 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place.

It won’t be called burning anymore, but it will be called slaughter.

The deception is so rampant that people are spiritually dead, because the truth is not in them.

We have to be very careful not to take up this deception in our lives.

33 And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away.

Zechariah 14 gives you a gross but accurate picture of this.

34 Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.

This is when the spiritual death comes to pass. Who are the murderers? Lying preachers and pastors who are not teaching the word of God.

How do we worship God? By hearing His word…not by making cakes and rolling eggs to the queen of heaven (see verse 18).

There is a worse death than the death of this flesh, that is spiritual death. But people drift away from the true word of God and they will be meat for all that is cruel and evil, and their souls will cease to exist.

God warns us! Let’s listen and hear, and do what He wants us to. The time is growing short…

                                                       ~~~~~~~

(Next is Jeremiah chapter 8 – God starts that chapter out with “At that time”. That time He is referring to is the fig tree generation, the final generation that will be on earth before Jesus returns to end this world and take us all to the Lord’s Day. The time every generation who has lived on earth has been waiting for. Look forward to it! Have His Word in your mouth and in your heart!)

Jeremiah 7 (h)

The book of Jeremiah – chapter by chapter and verse by verse

Jeremiah 7:27-29 KJV (3 verses)

27 Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee.

The people’s ears are not equipped to handle the real truth… they want to hear about “the sweet by and by”, not the real truth.

They want to be rocked to sleep – but God wants us to WORK, not sleep!

28 But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

If you will allow it, some will remove the word “God” from your vocabulary completely. Don’t let them. Stand strong.

29 Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.

The generation of His wrath is the fig tree generation, the final generation.

Where it says “O Jerusalem” in italics, that tells us that is not the word that was there. It should be the daughters of Jerusalem as He speaks of them in Ezekiel 13, where He says “you sew pillows to cover my outreaching arms…”. They want to hide the truth of His love from anybody who they can fool.
