Jeremiah 27
-The Word of the LORD came to
Jeremiah once again in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, who was the last
Davidic king in the sovereign kingdom of Israel (Christ is in the Davidic line
and will be the Eternal King promised by God). The message is simple at this
time. Bow to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon whom the LORD has given power and authority
if you want any semblance of the way things were in the land. All the nations
will serve him, his son, and his grandson and then many nations and great kings
will make him their servant (Medes/Persians, Greece, Rome). The prophets of
Jerusalem are speaking lies if they predict anything else, which is reiterated
over and over and over again by Jeremiah (Jeremiah 27:1-18). The last thing the
LORD reveals is that if they want to preserve the vessels of the house of the
LORD or the king, He needs to be entreated and come in repentance before Him
and His Word. Else these vessels of worship will be carried away to Babylon as
well. However, the LORD promises to bring them back on a day of visitation for
the purpose of restoration (Jeremiah 27:18-22). *Application* The LORD is
serious about true prophecy and is dead serious about not listening to false
prophecy in the futility of human minds and people pleasing attitudes. Get the
real deal from the actual Word of God. The LORD never lies.
