Jeremiah 5 (b)

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!)

Famine

In Amos chapter 8, a basket of summer fruit is discussed between the prophet Amos and God. God tells us that “The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.” Amos 8:2 KJV

So by this we know that end times are being prophesied in this chapter, with details that we can clearly understand when we put our minds to it. The basket of summer fruit means that Israel is ready for harvest and it has to be done right away or the fruit will rot. We do know that Israel became a nation in 1948, and elsewhere in His word it was told us that once that happened, the world would be in its final generation.

We should not let this scare us! It’s a good thing as long as we know what the word of God truly says. The most important truth to know is that the antichrist will arrive on earth first (hence the 6^th trump); and Jesus will come to earth after many have bowed to the antichrist (means “instead of Christ”), because they will believe antichrist is the true Christ.

But Jesus’ feet touch the earth at the 7^th trump, and those who worshipped the antichrist during his time here will ask for the mountains to fall on them, they will be so ashamed. Yikes.

Amos chapter 8 is a most interesting read (hopefully you will read it in the King James Version of the Bible). In verse 3 the description is of those who are spiritually dead, like so many are at this time in our world.

I’m going to fast forward to verse 11, but in verses 4-10 God talks about those who have put financial oppression and deceit on His people (i.e., the banking industry, which is one of the four worldly dynasties controlled by Satan. The other three are education, politics and religion). Also, note in verse 8 that the “flood” is the flood of lies and deceit that will overwhelm the end time.

Amos 8:11 says, “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 when we hear about the famine of the end times, let us not fear our bodies starving; let us instead fear the starvation of our spirits. We see it all around us more and more every day. But there is a solution! Study, learn and understand the true word of God, and you will not be one of those poor starved souls. You will not be fooled by the antichrist, you will wait for Jesus to arrive at the Second Advent, and in the process you will be able to help others not to be fooled.

God has clearly warned us in this chapter not to be fooled by the lies, to know that He is aware of the oppression, and to know and understand the time we live in.

Don’t be deceived! Read and understand God’s word so that you can be fully armored!

God bless you in that endeavor.

Amos 8:1-11
8:1 Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.
2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.
3 And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.
4 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?
6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
7 The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.
8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:
10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
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:
