Faulty Religion and Unethical Behaviour will lead to judgement.
| 6Stop oppressing foreigners who live in your land, children who have lost their fathers, and women who have lost their husbands. How often is it that we discriminate against the foreigners who live in Singapore (think about the Ah Tiongs) ? Question for thought. In this passage, God is angry at the people. Because even though they sin against Him and all, they still can go into His temple and say that "We are safe". Like quite shameless hor. God was so angry that He instructed Jeremiah not to pray for these people. - the extent of His anger. God was also angry that they built places of worship so that they can sacrifice their sons and daughters by fire and God was angry because He did not command them to do so. Jeremiah 8 God said that judgement will come upon the land but even then He will leave some survivors alive and banish them to other places. But these survivors would wish that they had died instead of lived. Wilful disregard of God will lead to destruction Jeremia laments ove r the coming destruction Jeremiah is sad over what is going to happen. he has compassion on the Israelites. |
