Jeremiah 25:1-38 For Choosing to Worship False gods, They Will Go to Babylon 70 Years

For Choosing to Worship False gods, They Will Go to Babylon 70 Years

Jeremiah 25:1-38                               The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The Word that came to Jeremiah [about] all the people of Judah, [during] the 4th year Jehoiakim, [Josiah's] son, [ruled as] [Judah's] king. That was the 1st year, Nebuchadrezzar, [a.k.a. Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king, [ruled.]

Jeremiah, the prophet, [spoke] [this] to all the people of Judah, & all the [residents] of Jerusalem, saying, From the 13th year of Josiah, [Amon's] son, [Judah's] king [ruled,] even [until] this day, that is the 23rd year.

The Word of the Lord [has] come to me, & I have spoken to you, rising early, & speaking [to warn you,] but you haven't [paid attention.] And the Lord [has] sent all His servants, the prophets, to you, rising early, & sending them [to warn you,] but you haven't [listened,] nor [leaned] your ear to hear.

[Jeremiah 11:9-10 And the Lord said to me, A conspiracy is found among: the men of Judah, & the [residents] of Jerusalem. They [have] turned back to their [forefathers' sins, who] refused to hear My Words, & they went after other gods to serve them. The house of Israel, & the house of Judah have broken My covenant, [a.k.a. contract, that] I made with their [forefathers.]

They said, Now, everyone [of] you [return] again from: his evil way, & your evil [actions,] & dwell in the land that the Lord [has] given to you, & to your [forefathers] forever & ever. And [don't] go after other gods to: serve, & worship them. And [don't] provoke Me to anger with the works [made] [by] your hands, & I [won't harm] you. [Isaiah 2:7-8 Their land is full of silver & gold. Neither is there any end of their treasures. Their land is also full of horses, & neither is there any end of their chariots. Also, their land is full of Idols. They worship the work of their own hands, that their own fingers have made.]

The Lord [says, Still,] you haven't [paid attention] to Me, [so,] that you might provoke Me to anger with the works [made] [by] your hands, to your own [harm.] [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.]

Therefore, the Lord of Hosts [says this;] Because you haven't heard My Words, [Watch,] I will send [for,] & will take all the families of the North, [says] the Lord.  And [Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king, My servant, & will bring them against: this land, & [its] inhabitants.

And against all these nations [all around it,] & will [totally] destroy them, & make them an astonishment, [to be] [hissed] [at,] & [continually desolate.]

[Matthew 23:37-39 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you [who kill] the prophets, & stone [those who] are sent to [warn] you. How often I would have gathered your children together, even [like] a hen [gathers] her chickens under her wings, & you would not! [Look,] your house is left to you desolate. For I say to you, You shall not see Me [after this, until] you shall say, Blessed is He, [Who comes] in the Name of the Lord.]

[Additionally,] I will take the [sound] of [happiness] from them, & the [voices] of gladness, the voice of: the bridegroom, & the bride, & the sound of the millstones [grinding,] & the light [from] the candle.

[Revelation 18:22-23 And the [sound] of: harpers, musicians, pipers, & trumpeters, shall no [longer] be heard in you, at all. And no craftsman, [of any type of] craft, shall be found in you, anymore. And the sound of a millstone [grinding,] shall no [longer] be heard in you, at all. And the light of a candle shall no [longer] shine in you, at all. And the [voices] of: the bridegroom, & the bride, shall no [longer] be heard in you, at all. For your merchants were the great men of the earth; [but] all nations were deceived, by your sorceries.]

And this whole land shall be a desolation, & an astonishment. And these nations shall serve [Babylon's] king 70 years. [Daniel 9:2 In the 1st year, [Darius ruled,] I, Daniel, understood the number of years by [the] books, [of which] the Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, the prophet, [so] that he would accomplish 70 years in [Jerusalem's desolation.]

The Lord [says,] And it shall [happen,] when 70 years are [completed,] that I will punish [Babylon's] king, & that nation, & the land of the Chaldeans, for their [sinfulness,] & will make it perpetual desolations.

And I will bring all My Words upon that land, [that] I have [declared] against it, even all that Jeremiah [has] prophesied, that is written in this book, against all the nations. For many nations, & great kings shall also [make them their servants] to [be] [served by] them, & I will [repay] them according to their deeds. [Jeremiah 50:10-13 The Lord [says,] And Chaldea, [a.k.a. Babylon,] shall be [plunder.] All [who plunder] her, shall be satisfied, because: you were glad, & you rejoiced, O you destroyers of [My] heritage, [a.k.a. Israel,] because you [have] grown fat, [like] the heifer [in] grass, & bellow [like] bulls. Your mother shall be [very confused,] & she [who bore] you shall be ashamed. [Look,] the [furthest part,] of the nations shall be: a wilderness, a dry land, & a desert. It shall not be inhabited, because of the [fury] of the Lord, but it shall be [totally] desolate. Everyone, [who goes] by Babylon, shall be astonished, & hiss at all her plagues.]

And according to the works [made] [by] their own hands. [2 Kings 19:17-18 [It's] [true,] Lord, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations, & their lands. And have cast their gods into the fire. For they weren't gods, but the work of men's hands, wood & stone. Therefore, they have destroyed them.]

For the Lord God of Israel [says this] to me, Take the wine cup of this fury [from] My hand, & cause all the nations, to drink it, to whom I send you.  [Revelation 14:9-11 And the 3rd Angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man [worships] the beast & his image, & [receives] his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink [from] the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture, [a.k.a. not watered down,] into the cup of His indignation, [a.k.a. anger aroused by injustice.] And he shall be tormented with fire & brimstone in the presence of the holy Angels, & in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment [ascends] up forever, & ever. And those, who worship the beast, & his image, & [whoever receives] the mark of his name, have no rest day nor night.]

And they shall drink, & be [shaken,] & mad, [a.k.a. insane,] because of the sword that I will send among them. [Deuteronomy 28:30-34 A nation [that] you [don't know,] [shall] eat up the fruit of your land, & all your [labors.] And you [shall] [continue to] be oppressed, & [always] crushed. So that, you [shall] be [driven] mad, [a.k.a. insane, by] the sight of your eyes, [that] you [shall] see.]

Then, I took the cup [from] the Lord's hand, to whom the Lord had sent me, & made all the nations drink. [That is,] Jerusalem, & [Judah's] cities, & [its:] kings, & princes, to make them a: [desolation; astonishment; [hissed] [at;] & a curse, [like] it is this day. [Ezekiel 23:37-39 They have committed adultery, & [bloodshed] is [on] their hands, & they have committed adultery with their idols, & also have [made] their sons, whom they [bore] to Me, to pass through the fire, to devour them for [their idols.] [Additionally,] they have done this to Me. They  defiled My sanctuary [on] the same day, & have profaned My Sabbaths. For when they had [sacrificed] their children to their idols, then they came the same day, into My sanctuary to [desecrate] it. And [look] they have done [this] in the midst of [My] house.]

And the king of Sheshach, shall drink after them: Pharaoh, [Egypt's] king; & his: princes; servants; & all his people: & all the [mixed] people: & all the kings of the land of: Uz; the Philistines; Ashkelon; Azzah; Ekron; & the [rest] of Ashdod;

[And] Edom; Moab; & the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Ammon; & all the kings of: Tyrus; Zidon, [a.k.a. Sidon;] & the kings of the [coastal] [islands, that] are beyond the sea; Dedan; Tema; & Buz; & all that are in the [furthest] corners.

And all the kings of: Arabia; & all the kings of: the [mixed] people [who] dwell in the desert. And all the kings of: Zimri; Elam; & the Medes. And all the kings of: the North; far & near, one with another, & all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the [surface] of the earth.  [Revelation 16:19 And the great city was divided into 3 parts. And the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon [was remembered] before God, to give to her the cup of wine of the fierceness of His [fury.]

Therefore, you [shall] say to them, The Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, [says this;] You, drink, & be [drunk,] & [hurl,] & fall, & no [longer] rise, because of the sword [that] I will send among you. [Isaiah 63:5-6 And I looked, & there was [no one] to help. And I wondered that there [were] none to uphold. Therefore, [My] Own arm brought Salvation to Me; & My fury, upheld Me. And I will [trample] down the people in [My] anger, & make them drunk in My fury, & I will bring down their strength to the [ground.]

And it shall [happen,] if they refuse to take the cup [from] your hand to drink, then, you [shall] say to them, The Lord of Hosts [says this;] You shall certainly drink. For, [look,] I begin to bring [calamity] on the city [that] is called by My Name, & should you [go totally] unpunished?

You shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, [says] the Lord of Hosts. Therefore, you prophesy all these Words against them.

And say to them, The Lord shall roar from on high, & [speak with] His voice from His holy habitation. He shall roar mightily [from] His habitation. He shall shout, against all the [earth's] inhabitants, [like those who trample] the grapes.

[Revelation 9:20-21 And the rest of the men, [who] weren't killed by these plagues, [still didn't repent, for] the works [made] [by] their hands, [so] that they shouldn't worship [demons,] & idols of: gold, silver, brass, stone, & wood, [that] can neither: see, hear, nor walk. Neither [did] they [repent] of their: murders, sorceries, fornication, nor of their thefts.]

A noise shall come, even to the ends of the earth: for the Lord [has] a controversy with the nations, & He will plead with all flesh, [a.k.a. humans.] He will give [those who] are wicked, to the sword, [says] the Lord.

[Revelation 22:12-15 *And, [watch,] I come quickly; & My reward is with Me, & shall be to give every man according [like] his work, [a.k.a. deeds.] I Am [the:] Alpha & Omega, the Beginning & the End, the First & the Last. Blessed are [those who] do His commandments, [so] that they may have right to the Tree of Life, & may enter in through the gates into the city. For [outside] are: dogs, sorcerers, [sexual traffickers,] murderers, idolaters, & [whoever loves, & makes] [up] [lies.]

The Lord of Hosts [says this, Look, disaster] shall go [out] from nation to nation, & a [large tornado] shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. And the [dead] of the Lord, shall be from one end of the earth, even to the other [on] that day. [Isaiah 66:15-16 For [watch,] the Lord will come with His chariots like a whirlwind, & with fire, to [deliver] His anger with fury, & His [correction] with flames of fire. For the Lord will plead with all flesh by His sword, & by fire. And many shall be the slain of the Lord.]

They shall not be [mourned,] neither gathered, nor buried. They shall be [manure] upon the ground. [Isaiah 34:2-3 For the [Lord's] indignation, [a.k.a. anger aroused by injustice,] is upon all nations, & His fury [is] upon all their armies. He [has totally] destroyed them. He [has] delivered them to the slaughter. Also, their slain shall be cast out, & their stink shall come up out of their [corpses,] & the mountains shall be melted with their blood.]

Howl, & cry [out,] you shepherds, & wallow yourselves in the ashes, you [leaders] of the flock: for the days of your slaughter, & your [scattering] are accomplished. And you shall fall like a pleasant [clay vase shatters.] [Jeremiah 23:1-2 The Lord [says], Woe to the pastors, [a.k.a. shepherds, who] destroy, & scatter the sheep of My pasture! Therefore, the Lord God of Israel [says this,] against the pastors, [who] feed My people; You have scattered My flock, & have driven them away, & haven't visited them. [Watch,] I will visit, [a.k.a. punish,] you [for] the evil of your [actions, says] the Lord.]

And the shepherds, & the [leaders] of the flock, shall have no way to flee, & to escape. A voice of the [shepherd's] [out] cry, & the howling of the [leaders] of the flock, shall be heard, [because] the Lord [has plundered] their pasture.

[Jeremiah 23:11-14 For both the [prophets & priests] are profane. [Yes,] I have found their wickedness in My house, [says] the Lord. [For this reason,] their [road] shall be to them [like] slippery [roads] in the darkness. They shall be driven on, & fall [on them.] For I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, [a.k.a. punishment, says] the Lord. And I have seen [foolishness] in the prophets of Samaria. They prophesied [about] Baal, & caused My people, Israel, to [go astray.]

I have also seen [a] horrible thing in the prophets of Jerusalem. They commit adultery, & walk, [a.k.a. follow,] [what are:] lies. They also strengthen the hands of [those who] [do evil, so] that none [returns] from his wickedness. They are, all of them to Me [like] Sodom, & the [residents of it like] Gomorrah.]

And the [peaceful] habitations are cut down, because of the [Lord's] fierce anger. He [has abandoned] His [shelter, like] the lion. For because of the fierceness of the oppressor, their land is desolate, & because of His fierce anger.

[Ezekiel 34:9-13 Therefore, O you shepherds, hear the Word of the Lord. The Lord God [says this; Watch,] I am against the shepherds. And I will [hold them responsible for] My flock, [that's] [under] their hand, [a.k.a. control,] & cause them to [stop] from feeding the flock. Neither shall the shepherds feed themselves anymore. For I will deliver My flock from their mouth, [so] that they may not be meat for the [shepherds.] For the Lord God [says this; Look,] I, even I, will both search [for] My sheep, & seek them out. [Like] a shepherd [seeks] out his flock, [on] the day that he is among his sheep, [who] are scattered.

[This way,] I will seek out My sheep, & will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered [on] the cloudy, & dark day. And I will bring them out, from the people, & gather them from the countries, & will bring them to their own land, & feed them by the rivers, upon the mountains of Israel, & in all the inhabited places of the country.]
