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!)
