The Sin of Judah is Written on Their Hearts

Jeremiah 17:1-27                               The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The sin of Judah is written with [an] iron pen, & a diamond point. It is [engraved] upon the [tablet] of their heart, & upon the horns of your altars. [Leviticus 16:17-18 And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he [goes] in to make an atonement in the Holy Place, until he [comes] out, & [has] made an atonement for: himself, his household, & for all the congregation of Israel.

And he shall go out [to] the altar that is before the Lord, & make atonement for it. And shall take [some] of the blood [from] the [bull,] & blood [from] the goat, & put it upon the horns on the altar [all around] [on each of its 4 corners.]

[While] their children remember their altars, & their groves, by the green trees upon the high hills. [Judges 3:5-7 And the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel [lived] among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, & Jebusites. And they took their daughters to be their wives, & gave their daughters to their sons, & served their gods. And the [people] of Israel did [what is:] evil in the sight of the Lord, & [forgot] the Lord their God, & served Baalim, & the groves.]

O, My mountain in the field, I will give [as plunder:] your [possessions,] & all your treasures, throughout all your borders, & your high places [because of your] sin. And you, even yourself, [shall cease] from [being in] your heritage that I gave you. [Judges 10:11-14 And the Lord said to the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel, [Didn't] I deliver you from the: Egyptians, Amorites, the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Ammon, & from the Philistines? Also: the Zidonians, [a.k.a. Sidonians,] Amalekites, & the Maonites, [who] [oppressed] you. And you cried [out] to Me, & I delivered you out of their hand. [Still,] you have [abandoned] Me, & served other gods. [For this reason,] I will no [longer] deliver you. Go, & cry [out] to the gods, [that] you have chosen. Let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.]

And I will cause you to serve your enemies in the land [that] you [didn't know.] For you have [started] a fire in [My] anger, which shall burn forever. [Romans 1:18 For the [fury] of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness, & unrighteousness of men, who [suppress] the Truth, [by] [what is:] [unrighteous.]

The Lord [says this;] Cursed [is] the man, [who trusts] in man, & [makes] flesh his arm, & whose heart [departs] from the Lord. [Isaiah 31:1 Woe to [those, who] go down to Egypt for help; & [rely] on horses, & trust in chariots; & horsemen, because [there] are many, & they are very strong. But they [don't] look to the Holy One of Israel, neither [do they] seek the Lord!]

For he shall be like the [wastelands] in the desert, & shall not see when good [comes;] but shall [reside in the very dry] places in the wilderness, in an [uninhabited] salt land.

[Deuteronomy 29:23 And that whole land [of it,] is: brimstone, salt, & burning, [so] that it isn't sown, nor [does it] [produce,] nor [does] any grass [grow in it,] like the overthrow of Sodom, & Gomorrah, & Admah, & Zeboim, which the Lord overthrew in His anger, & in His [fury.]

Blessed is the man, [who trusts] in the Lord, & whose hope is the Lord. [Psalm 5:11-12 But let all those, [who] put their trust in You, rejoice. Let them [always] shout for joy, because You [defend] them. Also, let [those, who] love Your Name, be joyful in You. For You, Lord, [will] bless the righteous. You [will surround] him with [favor, like] with a shield.]

For he shall be [like] a tree planted by the waters, that [spreads] out [its] roots by the river. And shall not [realize] when heat [comes,] but [its] leaf shall be green, & shall not [have to be] careful in the year of drought, & shall neither cease from [producing] fruit. The heart is deceitful above all things, & [is] desperately wicked. Who can know [what's in the heart?]

[Matthew 15:18-20 But those things [that] proceed out of the mouth, come [out] from the heart; & they defile the man. For out of the heart [proceeds:] evil thoughts, [murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, & blasphemy.] These are the things [that] defile a man. But to eat with [unwashed] hands, [doesn't defile] a man.]

I, the Lord, search the heart, & I [test] the [heart strings,] even to give [to] every man, according to his ways, & according to the fruit [resulting from] his [actions.] [Romans 8:26-28 [The same way,] the [Holy] Spirit, [a.k.a. Holy Ghost,] also [helps] our [weaknesses.] For we [don't] know what we should pray for, [like] we ought [to.] But the [Holy] Spirit, Itself, [makes] intercession for us, with the groanings, [a.k.a. pleadings, that] can't be uttered.

And He, [Who searches] the hearts, & [knows] what the mind of the [Holy] Spirit is, because He [makes] intercession [on behalf of] the saints, according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for the good [of those who] love God, & to [those] who are called, according to His purpose.]

[Like] the partridge [sits] on eggs, & [doesn't hatch] them; so [is] he, [who gets] riches, & not by [what is:] right, & shall leave them in midst of his days, & at his end, shall be [considered] a fool. [Luke 12:17-20 And he, [a.k.a. rich man,] thought within himself, What shall I do, because I have no room, to [store] my [crops?] And he said, I will do this. I will pull down my barns, & build [larger] [barns,] & I will [store] all my [crops,] & my goods there. And I will say to my soul, Soul, you [have] much goods [stored] up for many years. Take [it] [easy:] eat, drink, & be merry. But God said to him, You fool, this night your soul shall be required [from] you. Then, whose shall those things [belong, that] you [have] provided?]

The place of our sanctuary is a glorious high throne from the beginning. O Lord, the Hope of Israel, All [Who abandon] You shall be ashamed, & [those who leave] from Me, shall be written in the earth, [a.k.a. dirt.] [Revelation 20:15 And [whoever] wasn't found written in the Book of Life, was cast into the lake of fire.]

Because they have [abandoned] the Lord, the Fountain of Living Waters. [Revelation 22:16-17 I, Jesus, have sent [My] Angel to testify these things to you in the churches. I Am the Root & the Offspring, [a.k.a. from the lineage,] of David, & the Bright & Morning Star. And the Spirit & the bride say, Come. And let him, [who hears] say, Come. And let him, [who is thirsty,] come. And [whoever] [is] [willing,] let him take the Water of Life freely.]

O Lord, heal me, & I shall be healed. Save me, & I shall be saved. For You [are] my praise. [Look,] they say to me, Where is the Word of the Lord? Let it now come. [2 Peter 3:9-10 The Lord is not slack, [a.k.a. slow, about] His promise, [like] some men [consider] slackness; but is [patient toward] us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

*But the day of the Lord will come [like] a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with great noise, & the elements shall melt with fervent heat, & also the earth & the works, [a.k.a. things made,] that are [in there,] shall be burned up.]

As for me, I haven't [been] [quick] [about withdrawing] from being a pastor, [or from my work in] [following] You. Neither have I desired the woeful, [a.k.a. distressful,] day. You [know,] [because what] came out of my lips was right, before You.

[Jeremiah 1:9-10 Then, the Lord put [out] His hand, & touched my mouth. And the Lord said to me, [Look,] I have put My words in your mouth. This day, [see,] I have [put] you over the: nations, & kingdoms, to: [uproot,] & pull down, destroy, throw down, [rebuild,] & to plant.]

[Don't] be [terrifying] to me. You [are] my hope [on] the day of [doom.] Let [those] be [ashamed, who] persecute me, but [don't] let me be [discouraged.] Bring upon them, the day of [doom,] & destroy them with double destruction.

[Revelation 18:5-6 For her sins have reached [up] to heaven, & God [has] remembered her iniquities. Reward her, even [like] she rewarded you, & double to her in the cup [that] she [has] filled, & fill to her double, according to her works, [a.k.a. deeds.]

The Lord said [this] to me; Go, & stand in the gate of the children of [the common] people, [in which Judah's] kings come in, & they go out, & in all the gates of Jerusalem. And say to them, You, hear the Word of the Lord, all Judah, & you kings of Judah, & all the [residents] of Jerusalem, [who] enter in by these gates.

The Lord [says this; Pay attention,] to yourselves, & [don't carry] [any] burden on the Sabbath Day, nor bring it in [through Jerusalem's] gates. Neither carry a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath Day, & neither [should] you do any work, but you [shall keep] [Holy] the Sabbath Day, as I commanded your [forefathers.]

But they [didn't obey,] & neither [did they] [lean] their ear [to hear,] but made their neck stiff, [a.k.a. stubborn, so] that they [wouldn't] hear, nor [did they] receive instruction. [Jeremiah 7:24 But they [didn't pay attention,] nor [leaned] their ear, but [followed] in the [advice,] & imagination of their evil heart, & went backward, & not forward.]

The Lord [says,] And it shall [happen,] if you diligently [pay attention] to Me, to bring no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath Day, but [keep] [Holy] the Sabbath Day, to do no work [on it.]

Then, kings & princes, [who] [sit] upon the throne of David, shall enter there into the gates of this city, riding in chariots. & on horses. They, their princes, [Judah's] men. & the [residents] of Jerusalem, & this city, shall remain forever.

[Revelation 3:19-21 I [reprimand] & chastise, as many as I love. Therefore, be zealous, & repent. [Watch,] I stand at the door, & knock. If any man [hears] My voice, & [opens] the door, I will come in to him, & will [dine] with him, & he with Me. I will grant to him, [who overcomes,] to sit with Me [on] My throne, even [like] I also overcame, & Am [sitting] down with My Father [on] His throne.]

And they shall come from the: cities of Judah; places [around] Jerusalem; the land of Benjamin; the plain; & from the mountains, & the South, bringing: burnt offerings, sacrifices, meat offerings, incense, & sacrifices of praise, to the [Lord's] house.

But if you won't [pay attention] to Me, to [keep] [Holy,] the Sabbath Day, & not [carry] a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath Day; then I will [start] a fire in [its] gates, & it will devour [Jerusalem's] palaces & it shall not be quenched, [a.k.a. put out.]

[Jeremiah 21:14 But I will punish you according to the fruit of your [actions, says] the Lord. And I will [start] a fire in the forest [of it,] & it shall devour all things [all around it.]
