Jeremiah for Today

Do people ask you to pray for them?

Jeremiah 42:2 And said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us unto the Lord thy God, even for all this remnant; for we are left but a few of many, as thine eyes do behold us:

8

Jeremiah for Today

Do people ask you to pray for them?

James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availed much.

9

Jeremiah for Today

It is important to let God “show us the way” Jeremiah 42:3

That the Lord thy God may show us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do.

Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.

10

Jeremiah for Today

We must declare the whole counsel of God, and “keep nothing back”

Jeremiah 42:4 4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray unto the Lord your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing the Lord shall answer you, I will declare it unto you; I will keep nothing back from you.

11

Jeremiah for Today

We must declare the whole counsel of God, and “keep nothing back”

Acts 20:27 27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

12

Jeremiah for Today

We must obey God’s word, whether we like his answer or not

Jeremiah 42:6 Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the Lord our God.

13

Jeremiah for Today

We must obey God’s word, whether we like his answer or not

Acts 5:29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

14

Jeremiah for Today

It is hypocritical to promise you will obey, and then do not obey

Jeremiah 42:20-21 20 For ye dissembled in your hearts, when ye sent me unto the Lord your God, saying, Pray for us unto the Lord our God; and according unto all that the Lord our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it. 21 And now I have this day declared it to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of the Lord

15

Jeremiah for Today It is hypocritical to promise you will obey, and then do not obey

1 John 2:3-4 3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

18

Jeremiah 45 Baruch discouraged and delivered

Jeremiah 45:1-5 Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the Lord hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest. 4 Thus shalt thou say unto him, The Lord saith thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land. 5 And seeks thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the Lord: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither you go.

29

Kedar

Dark-skinned, the second son of Ishmael (Gen 25:13). It is the name for the nomadic tribes of Arabs, the Bedouins

generally (Isa 21:16; Isa 42:11; Isa 60:7; Jer 2:10; Ezek 27:21), who dwelt in the north-west of Arabia. They lived in black hair-tents (Song 1:5). To "dwell in the tents of Kedar" was to be cut off from the worship of the true God (Ps 120:5). The Kedarites suffered at the hands of Nebuchadnezzar (Jer 49:28, 29).

Song of Songs 1:5 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

Judgment upon Kedar & Hazor for her trust in self and trade

Jeremiah 49:33 33 And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, and a desolation for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor any son of man dwell in it.

32

Hazor Hazor - Enclosed; fortified. A stronghold of the Canaanites in the mountains north of

Lake Merom (Jos 11:1-5). Jabin the king with his allied tribes here encountered Joshua in a great battle. Joshua gained a signal victory, which virtually completed his conquest of Canaan (Jos 11:10-13). This city was, however, afterwards rebuilt by the Canaanites, and was ruled by a king with the same hereditary name of Jabin.
