“And because of all your abominations, I will do among you what I have not done, and the like of which I will never do again.” Ezekiel 5:9 Unspeakable Judgement! This is what took place in Israel’s history during Ezekiel’s time. We are given a glimpse into it in these early chapters. What brought all […]

“And when I saw it, I fell on my face and heard a voice speaking.” Ezekiel 1:28b Today’s Verse was Ezekiel’s reaction to the Vision he records earlier. If you’re familiar with it, you know it’s unlike anything else in the Bible. But the description is not as important as the reaction. He “falls on

“The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the person who seeks Him.” Lamentations 3:25 Sandwiched between 4 very depressing Chapters comes Chapter 3. It is Jeremiah’s Prayer. He begins with sad confession, then slowly builds to a crescendo of hopeful expectation where he proclaims “The Lord’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease!” He

“She who was a princess among the provinces has become a forced laborer!” Lamentations 1:1b As Jeremiah begins Lamentations, he does so with a vivid contrast of a “princess” and a “forced laborer”.

“But as for you, O Jacob My servant, do not fear,” Jeremiah 46:27a In the last chapters of Jeremiah, God declares various Judgements coming to the Nations. Beginning with Egypt and ending with Babylon, the message is utter Doom and Gloom. But in the midst of these are several verses of Hope and Safety given

“Whether it is pleasant or unpleasant, we will listen to the voice of the Lord our God to whom we are sending you, so that it may go well with us when we listen to the voice of the Lord our God.” Jeremiah 42:6 WOW! What a confession! This is what the Jews that escaped

“”For I will certainly rescue you, and you will not fall by the sword; but you will have your own life as booty, because you have trusted in Me,” declares the Lord.” Jeremiah 39:18 These are the words God spoke regarding Ebed-Melech, the Ethiopian that saved Jeremiah from certain death. Once again we see a

“Perhaps the house of Judah will hear all the calamity which I plan to bring on them, in order that every man will turn from his evil way; then I will forgive their iniquity and their sin.” Jeremiah 36:3 Consider Jeremiah’s presentation. God just instructed him to write down all the words that He had
