Jeremiah 7-9

Please note, this entry was originally scheduled for July 31.

God sent Jeremiah to the temple in Jerusalem to declare the Lord’s words against Judah, saying that no one should think that they will escape His judgement for their pervasive idolatries and disobedience. Just like God judged Israel, and Shiloh, the first place in Israel where His presence dwelt, Jerusalem and the temple will become a heap of ruins, and the people will be scattered in the nations.

Even from the beginning, in the days of Moses, the Lord was only looking for obedience and love from His people, and none of their sacrifices are pleasing to Him when they refuse to obey Him.

The Lord continues to call Judah and Jerusalem to repentance, but promises desolations to come when they refuse to hear and obey.
