The book of Jeremiah – chapter by chapter and verse by verse
Jeremiah 5:10-19
KJV
Jeremiah chapter
5 – God wants us to Investigate!
10 Go ye up upon
her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for
they are not the LORD's.
Satan as antichrist will be here first, and will destroy many during
that time. He will look good. Guard yourselves, know the true word so you can
avoid being fooled. Read God’s true word!
(“but make not a full end” – once again, this is because there has always been
a remnant carrying forth God’s true word who will be saved.)
11 For the house
of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me,
saith the LORD.
Investigate the nations and investigate the churches. Who is teaching
what? Does it really follow Scripture? You won’t know if you don’t read your
Bible.
Who are Judah and Israel in our current time, do you know? Please read this post for the explanation:

12 They have
belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us;
neither shall we see sword nor famine:
Speaking of the lies, they don’t know the difference between what God
has said and what Satan deceives people with.
The famine of the end time is not for food, but starvation for the true word of God!
See Amos 8:11: “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send
a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of
hearing the words of the LORD:”
So don’t be
scared that we’ll all starve from lack of food – that’s not what will happen at
all – as God tells us, the end time famine will be for hearing the words of the
LORD. Look around. Are we getting close?
13 And the
prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done
unto them.
The prophets mentioned are the preachers and pastors who don’t really
teach God’s true word, they are men speaking their own ideas. Read the word
chapter by chapter and verse by verse, and learn the truth it speaks. Don’t let
a one-verse Charlie pastor steal your inheritance. Go find the truth – it’s in
the true word of God.
14 Wherefore
thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will
make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour
them.
“Because ye speak this word” means Satan’s word is being spoken, and the
people who listen to it shall be burned up.
15 Lo, I will
bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a
mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest
not, neither understandest what they say.
The ancient nation is Babylon, which means “confusion”. Satan is the
head of Babylon, and the master of confusion and deceit.
16 Their quiver
is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.
A sepulchre is a grave – this means they will mislead people who will
die spiritually because they allowed themselves to be misled. They don’t know
what God’s word says or means simply because they don’t study and check out
what others say by reading His word.
17 And they
shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters
should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy
vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou
trustedst, with the sword.
“Eat up”, three times for emphasis. Gasoline is an example of foreign
countries eating up our money, they are enjoying the profits that should be
ours if we’d harvest our own oil.
18 Nevertheless
in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you.
The remnant will always be with God, and they will broadcast the truth
to the world, although many will not listen. There has always been a remnant
carrying forth God’s true word.
19 And it shall
come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these
things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and
served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is
not yours.
Unless we get smart and follow God’s ways, we will be serving other
nations because we don’t understand how to run a nation under God.
(I hope you will read the next post - it will be published on Christmas day 2018 - and addresses the fact that our God is a jealous God, and discusses the harvest of mankind. Thanks for reading!)
