Jeremiah - Seminary - 3/27/12

(Jeremiah 4:1) return unto Christ (3) stay true to the word of God <-- Judah have your hearts in your work. Even if it's not, still go through the motions; but try to keep your heart in it. (4) It's not about the outward appearance, but wyhat's in your heart. Repent! (11-12) If you don't prepare, people from the North will wipe you out, and you'll be gone with the wind (14) wash (purification) your heart. (pre baptismal ordinance they do) Get your heart right with God. (27) what happens if you don't repent. Total anialation. It won't be the end of the world, but it will be the end of you. (30) even though you dress yourself up as pretty as you want, you're still unfaithful, and everyone will turn against you. (31) your sound will be like a woman in child birth - crying out in pain, begging for help and mercy. (5:1) I'm looking for one honest man (21)foolish people. Why can't you understand me? (23) revolting and rebellious heart. (24) They're not turning to God. The Old testament was about the heart and love...on turning your heart to God. (6:2) a woman of Zion is beautiful and delicate. (15) you are committing sins, and you're not even ashamed of them. EVen though I've warned you, you won't listen, so you'll be destroyed. (26) start crying now, as if you had an only child who died. This is how you'll be because you haven't turned back to the Lord. (7:3) God will still haev Mercy on you if you turn to him. (4) Just because you have a temple, doesn't mean you won't be destroyed. Reasoning, is because it's not in their hearts. You go to the temple to make covenants, and you go home to keep the covenants. You have to keep your covenants. Everything is dependable upon your faith, your righteousness, and your continual doing in keeping your covenants. Get your heart right! (11) The temple has become a den of robbers. (Matthew 21:13) Den of theives. Christ quoted Jeremiah. (Jeremiah 7:13) I cried out to you, but you aren't listening / paying attention. (14) the temple will be captured and destroyed. It didn't have anything special, because the people defialed it so it was just another building (23) If you repent and return to God, all will be fine. Listen to the prophet, his apostles and councilors! They speak the word of God. Think about where your heart is. Where's your relationship with God? Have you spiritually been born again? Get back to that feeling of love!
