Good Evening Truth Seekers! Jeremiah has a very difficult job in that he has to deliver the word of God to the people of God about the wrath of God. It is funny that in all the reading the message and covenant of God never changes: if you obey me, I will bless you. However, you forsake me you will be forsaken and punished. The punishment that would come to Judah is the same that Israel had to deal with. They too bowed to foreign Gods and worshipped to idols. God warns them to look at Israel to know not test or vex Him. My grandmother use to use a term; a hard head makes a soft butt. What she meant is that discipline will follow disobedience. This was the message that Jeremiah had to deliver. A hard head will bring the wrath of God.
Matthew 21:21-22:22 Is rich in the mind of Jesus. Jesus has authority and power. He requires obedience and when those chosen reject him, it makes room for others. He says in 21: 32 prostitutes and tax collectors are entering into the kingdom of God before the Jews, because the Jews rejected Jesus and the sinners did not. We all should get ready for the return of Jesus, for judgement is coming, we do not know when, but we should be ready. Those who are will enjoy the feast in his presence, those who are not will live eternity in hell, were there will be gnashing of teeth.
