Jeremiah 11

23;

²³ Not even a remnant will be left to them, because I will bring disaster on the people of Anathoth in the year of their punishment.” (5) (As a metaphor, the day of the Lord Jesus, His second coming, after His people lifted to heaven for 1000 years. And the Holy City New Jerusalem, down with the people who are saved. And those who have been left out, in the second death, resurrected again for the final war battle of Armageddon. And the eternal fire come down from heaven to destroy, they along with Lucifer, the leader of all the false prophets, and those who do not believe in the Lord Jesus.)

                                                                                                                                    258

¹⁷ The Lord Almighty, who planted you, has decreed disaster for you, because the people of both Israel and Judah have done evil and aroused My anger by burning incense to Baal. (8) (Idols are various types, namely, everything that we love, more than the love of the Lord Jesus with all our hearts. For example: money, wealth, liquor, cigarettes, opium, women, gambling, idols to worship the statues and other idols.)

Plot Against Jeremiah.

¹⁸ Because the Lord revealed their plot to me(Jeremiah), I knew it, for at that time He showed me what they were doing.

                                                                                                                                    369

⁸ But they did not listen or pay attention; instead, they followed the stubbornness of their evil hearts. So I brought on them all the curses of the covenant I had Commanded them to follow but that they did not keep.’” (8) (Jerusalem here, is a parable of the world, with those who believe, but who have strayed from the law of the Lord Jesus.)

⁹ Then the Lord said to me, “There is a conspiracy among the people of Judah and those who live in Jerusalem.

                                                                                                                                    369

²¹ Therefore this is what the Lord says about the people of Anathoth who are threatening to kill you, saying, “Do not prophesy in the name of the Lord(Jesus) or you will die by our hands”— (3) (Who does not believe in the Lord Jesus.)

²² therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says: “I will punish them. Their young men will die by the sword, their sons and daughters by famine.

                                                                                                                                     147

¹² The towns of Judah and the people of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods to whom they burn incense, but they will not help them at all when disaster strikes. (3)

¹³ You, Judah, have as many gods as you have towns; and the altars you have set up to burn incense to that shameful god Baal are as many as the streets of Jerusalem.’

¹⁴ “Do not pray for this people or offer any plea or petition for them, because I will not listen when they call to Me in the time of their distress.

¹⁵ “What is My beloved doing in My temple as she, with many others, works out her evil schemes? Can consecrated meat avert your punishment? When you engage in your wickedness, then you rejoice.”

¹⁶ The Lord called you a thriving olive tree with fruit beautiful in form. But with the roar of a mighty storm He will set it on fire, and its branches will be broken.

                                                                                                                                     147

³ Tell them that this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Cursed is the one who does not obey the terms of this covenant—

⁴ the terms I commanded your ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt, out of the iron-smelting furnace.’ I said, ‘Obey Me and do everything I Command you, and you will be My people, and I will be your God.

⁵ Then I will fulfill the oath I swore to your ancestors, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey’—the land you possess today.” I answered, “Amen, Lord.” (The land flowing with milk and honey, is a parable as the holy city New Jerusalem.)

⁶ The Lord said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: ‘Listen to the terms of this covenant and follow them.

⁷ From the time I brought your ancestors up from Egypt until today, I warned them again and again, saying, “Obey Me.”

                                                                                                                                     147

¹⁹ I had been like a gentle Lamb(Jesus) led to the slaughter; I did not realize that they had plotted against Me, saying, “Let us destroy the Tree(The prophets of the Lord Jesus) and its Fruit (all His people.); let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name be remembered no more.” (1)
²⁰ But you, Lord Almighty, who judge righteously and test the heart and mind, let me see Your vengeance on them, for to You I have committed my cause.

                                                                                                                                     258

¹⁰ They have returned to the sins of their ancestors, who refused to listen to my words. They have followed other gods to serve them. Both Israel and Judah have broken the covenant I made with their ancestors. (1)

¹¹ Therefore this is what the Lord says: ‘I will bring on them a disaster they cannot escape. Although they cry out to Me, I will not listen to them.

                                                                                                                                     258

The Covenant Is Broken

11 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: (1)

² “Listen to the terms of this Covenant and tell them to the people of Judah and to those who live in Jerusalem.
