Good morning 🇹🇿🇬🇧🌏#Cupoftea☕️ 1 “If you will return, O Israel,” says the LORD, “Return to Me; And if you will put away your abominations out of My sight, Then you shall not be moved. 2 And you shall swear, ‘The LORD lives,’ In truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; The nations shall bless themselves in Him, And in Him they shall glory.” 3 For thus says the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem: “Break up your fallow ground, And do not sow among thorns. 4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, And take away the foreskins of your hearts, You men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, Lest My fury come forth like fire, And burn so that no one can quench it, Because of the evil of your doings.” 5 Declare in Judah and proclaim in Jerusalem, and say: “Blow the trumpet in the land; Cry, ‘Gather together,’ And say, ‘Assemble yourselves, And let us go into the fortified cities.’ 6 Set up the standard toward Zion. Take refuge! Do not delay! For I will bring disaster from the north, And great destruction.” 7 The lion has come up from his thicket, And the destroyer of nations is on his way. He has gone forth from his place To make your land desolate. Your cities will be laid waste, Without inhabitant. 8 For this, clothe yourself with sackcloth, Lament and wail. For the fierce anger of the LORD Has not turned back from us. 9 “And it shall come to pass in that day,” says the LORD, “ That the heart of the king shall perish, And the heart of the princes; The priests shall be astonished, And the prophets shall wonder.” 10 Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Surely You have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, Saying, ‘You shall have peace,’ Whereas the sword reaches to the heart.” 11 At that time it will be said To this people and to Jerusalem, “A dry wind of the desolate heights blows in the wilderness Toward the daughter of My people— Not to fan or to cleanse..#Jeremiah4:1-31#PraisetheLord#WordofGod#wordoftheday#versesoftheday#bibleverses#biblestudy#qoutesoftheday#beblessed🙏 #Shalom#anzanamiBwanaYesu#biblia#NenolaMungu#Nenolaleo#Yeremia# #barikiwa🙏 #eastafrica#tanzania🇹🇿 #asubuhinjema#chai#Coventry🇬🇧 #lifestyleblogger#vlogger #mswahili🇹🇿#rachelsiwa🙏🏽❤️☕️ https://www.instagram.com/p/B5sEcFGnnH8/?igshid=w487xnd0rmf8

Jeremiah Chapter 4 - Apocalyptic Language

by Aaron Logan Jeremiah Chapter 4 is a prophecy against Judah.....that God was sending judgment via Babylon and Nebuchadnezzar. Notice the apocalyptic language for a LOCAL EVENT, that already historically took place (particularly make note of verses 23-26). See if this literary genre looks familiar....

[Jeremiah 4]

v6 “Lift up a standard toward Zion! Seek refuge, do not stand still, For I am bringing evil from the north, And great destruction.

v7 “A lion has gone up from his thicket, And a destroyer of nations has set out; He has gone out from his place To make your land a waste. Your cities will be ruins Without inhabitant.

v13 “Behold, he goes up like clouds, And his chariots like the whirlwind; His horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us, for we are ruined!”

v16 “Report it to the nations, now! Proclaim over Jerusalem,‘Besiegers come from a far country, And lift their voices against the cities of Judah.17 ‘Like watchmen of a field they are against her round about, Because she has rebelled against Me,’ declares the Lord.

v19b The sound of the trumpet, The alarm of war.

v21 How long must I see the standardAnd hear the sound of the trumpet?

v23 I looked on the earth, and behold, it was formless and void; And to the heavens, and they had no light. 24 I looked on the mountains, and behold, they were quaking, And all the hills moved to and fro. 

v25 I looked, and behold, there was no man, And all the birds of the heavens had fled. 26 I looked, and behold, the fruitful land was a wilderness, And all its cities were pulled down Before the Lord, before His fierce anger.

v27 For thus says the Lord,“The whole land shall be a desolation, Yet I will not execute a complete destruction.28 “For this the earth shall mourn And the heavens above be dark, Because I have spoken, I have purposed, And I will not change My mind, nor will I turn from it.”

29 At the sound of the horseman and bowman every city flees; They go into the thickets and climb among the rocks; Every city is forsaken, And no man dwells in them.

This is the same literary genre (prophetic imagery) used in 2 Sam 22, Isaiah 13, Isaiah 19, Ps 18, Joel 2, (and many others), as well as the book of Revelation. ALL of which used apocalyptic language to describe local or national events.

[onlyhanna]

"Disaster follows disaster." "I supplied ALL their needs, YET they committed adultery and thronged to the houses of prostitutes... And when the people ask, "why has the Lord our God done all this to us? you will tell them, 'As YOU have forsaken ME and served foreign gods in your own land, so now you will serve foreigners in a land not your own."  "These people have stubborn & rebellious hearts, they have turned aside and gone astray." "They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious Peace, peace they say, when there is no peace." "Ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls."
