Judgement Scriptures

For 23 years Jeremiah prophesied coming judgement and called on God’s people in Judah and Jerusalem to repent. They did not listen.

The sins that lead to judgement:

1. King Manasseh of Judah: 2 Kings 21, Jeremiah 15

2. False prophets and priests: Jeremiah 20

3. The people’s sins: Jeremiah 7,8,9

“Truth has perished. It has been cut off from their lips.” Jeremiah 7:28

The judgement: for the cities of Judah and Jerusalem to be destroyed; God’s people taken captive to Babylon, and others to die by sword, famine, and pestilence.

Even So . . .

God still did not forget His people. He promised the Righteous Branch would come (Jesus Christ) and He promised that even His people would return to the promised land and prosper once again in 70 years.

“We are not seeing terrible things in our culture because we vote the wrong way. We are seeing terrible things in our culture because me love darkness rather than light.” – Voddie Baucham

Our Nation (America):

• Murdered 42.7 million babies last year in the womb

• Pastors of churches welcoming in idols and praise abominable things

• Letting children mutilate themselves to change their God-given sex

• Acceptance of perversion and pornography

• Theft through taxes

Judgement is purifying for the church because it exposes evil things and opens eyes up to what is good. It’s done purposefully for God’s people to repent and turn back to the Lord.

Our Job:

• repent of our own idols

• share the Gospel of truth

• don’t decorate truth with counterfeit pearls

• go to church – in person

• practice hospitality

• feed your people – with the Scriptures and with food

• Trust in the Lord

• pray for our nation

• pray for our leaders to repent

• get married

• make babies

• be merry
