Sermon #513
In this final message in the Prophet Margins series, we look at a somewhat uplifting prophecy of Jeremiah. I say this because whereas the other prophecies that we've looked at went unheeded and ended in disaster for the people of Israel, this one prophecy came as a warning to the people of Judah, and immediately following the nation saw reforms that abolished Ba'al worship and restored the worship of God as prescribed in the book of the law. And so we should be encouraged that God is still active and working to draw his wayward people back to himself. Yet just a generation later, under the son of King Josiah, the nation of Judah would fall into worse apostacy, and would ultimately be conquered and carried off by Babylon for 70 years. Yet God's promises are not empty and his word does not return void. We can learn from these warnings in our lives with God today.
