Hello and welcome to
"His Words Are Life."
00:00:15.83\00:00:18.20
I'm Kelly Mowrer and today
00:00:18.21\00:00:19.72
we'll continuing together
from the Book of Jeremiah.
00:00:19.73\00:00:22.91
But let's pray before we start.
00:00:22.92\00:00:25.10
Dear Heavenly
Father, thank you so much
00:00:25.11\00:00:27.47
for giving us the
gift of Your words
00:00:27.48\00:00:31.31
as a guide to our feet
and as a source of wisdom
00:00:31.32\00:00:35.89
and counsel and comfort.
00:00:35.90\00:00:37.96
Please be with us now as we read
00:00:37.97\00:00:39.94
and give us
understanding of what we hear.
00:00:39.95\00:00:42.20
We love You so much
00:00:42.21\00:00:43.18
and thank you
for loving us, amen.
00:00:43.19\00:00:46.25
When we were last together,
we were reading the story
00:00:46.26\00:00:48.86
of a prophet who came along
during the days of Jeremiah.
00:00:48.87\00:00:53.42
A prophet by the
name of, Hananiah,
00:00:53.43\00:00:55.47
who was
prophesying that the captives
00:00:55.48\00:00:58.55
of Babylon would
shortly be returned.
00:00:58.56\00:01:01.83
We're gonna pick
up that story now
00:01:01.84\00:01:03.44
in Jeremiah Chapter 28
beginning with verse 15
00:01:03.45\00:01:08.38
and this is the
King James Version.
00:01:08.39\00:01:12.06
Then said the prophet Jeremiah
00:01:12.07\00:01:14.41
unto Hananiah the
prophet, Hear now, Hananiah,
00:01:14.42\00:01:18.69
the Lord hath not sent thee,
00:01:18.70\00:01:21.54
but thou makest this
people to trust in a lie.
00:01:21.55\00:01:26.08
Therefore thus
saith the Lord, Behold,
00:01:26.09\00:01:28.56
I will cast thee from
off the face of the earth,
00:01:28.57\00:01:32.01
this year thou shalt die,
00:01:32.02\00:01:34.61
because thou hast taught
rebellion against the Lord.
00:01:34.62\00:01:38.77
So Hananiah the prophet died
00:01:38.78\00:01:41.00
the same year in
the seventh month.
00:01:41.01\00:01:44.65
Continuing now in
Jeremiah Chapter 29,
00:01:44.66\00:01:47.70
this is the King James Version.
00:01:47.71\00:01:50.91
Now these are the
words of the letter
00:01:50.92\00:01:53.61
that Jeremiah the
prophet sent from Jerusalem
00:01:53.62\00:01:56.98
unto the residue of the elders
00:01:56.99\00:01:58.59
which were
carried away captives,
00:01:58.60\00:02:00.74
and to the priests,
and to the prophets,
00:02:00.75\00:02:03.29
and to all the
people whom Nebuchadnezzar
00:02:03.30\00:02:05.73
had carried away captive
from Jerusalem to Babylon.
00:02:05.74\00:02:09.81
After that Jeconiah
the king, and the queen,
00:02:09.82\00:02:12.52
and the eunuchs,
the princes of Judah
00:02:12.53\00:02:14.36
and Jerusalem, and the
carpenters, and the smiths,
00:02:14.37\00:02:18.29
were departed from Jerusalem.
00:02:18.30\00:02:21.48
By the hand of
Elasah the son of Shaphan,
00:02:21.49\00:02:25.97
and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah,
00:02:25.98\00:02:28.27
whom Zedekiah king of
Judah sent unto Babylon
00:02:28.28\00:02:31.56
to Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon saying,
00:02:31.57\00:02:35.18
thus saith the Lord of
hosts, the God of Israel,
00:02:35.19\00:02:38.77
unto all that are
carried away captives,
00:02:38.78\00:02:41.56
whom I have
caused to be carried away
00:02:41.57\00:02:43.84
from Jerusalem unto Babylon.
00:02:43.85\00:02:47.30
Build ye houses,
and dwell in them
00:02:47.31\00:02:50.64
and plant gardens,
and eat the fruit of them.
00:02:50.65\00:02:54.77
Take ye wives, and
beget sons and daughters,
00:02:54.78\00:02:57.57
and take wives for your sons,
00:02:57.58\00:02:59.09
and give your
daughters to husbands,
00:02:59.10\00:03:01.12
that they may bear
sons and daughters,
00:03:01.13\00:03:03.91
that ye may be increased
there and not diminished.
00:03:03.92\00:03:08.44
And seek the peace of the city
00:03:08.45\00:03:10.34
whither I have caused you
to be carried away captives,
00:03:10.35\00:03:12.91
and pray unto the Lord for it,
00:03:12.92\00:03:15.50
for in the peace
thereof shall ye have peace.
00:03:15.51\00:03:20.21
For thus saith the Lord
of hosts the God of Israel.
00:03:20.22\00:03:23.62
Let not your
prophets and your diviners,
00:03:23.63\00:03:26.09
that be in the
midst of you, deceive you,
00:03:26.10\00:03:28.81
neither hearken to your dreams
00:03:28.82\00:03:30.51
which ye cause to be dreamed.
00:03:30.52\00:03:31.83
For they prophesy
falsely unto you in my name.
00:03:31.84\00:03:34.55
I have not sent
them, saith the Lord.
00:03:34.56\00:03:37.98
For thus saith the
Lord, that after seventy years
00:03:37.99\00:03:41.86
be accomplished at
Babylon I will visit you,
00:03:41.87\00:03:45.41
and perform my
good word toward you,
00:03:45.42\00:03:47.92
in causing you to
return to this place.
00:03:47.93\00:03:51.27
For I know the thoughts
that I think toward you,
00:03:51.28\00:03:54.40
saith the Lord, thoughts
of peace, and not of evil,
00:03:54.41\00:03:59.42
to give you an expected end.
00:03:59.43\00:04:02.38
Then shall ye call
upon me, and ye shall go
00:04:02.39\00:04:05.57
and pray unto me, and
I will hearken unto you.
00:04:05.58\00:04:09.35
And ye shall
seek me, and find me,
00:04:09.36\00:04:12.70
when ye shall search
for me with all your heart.
00:04:12.71\00:04:16.92
And I will be found
of you, saith the Lord.
00:04:16.93\00:04:19.66
And I will turn
away your captivity,
00:04:19.67\00:04:21.92
and I will gather
you from all the nations,
00:04:21.93\00:04:24.48
and from all the places
00:04:24.49\00:04:26.29
whither I have
driven you, saith the Lord.
00:04:26.30\00:04:29.16
And I will bring
you again into the place
00:04:29.17\00:04:32.06
whence I caused you to
be carried away captive.
00:04:32.07\00:04:35.11
Because ye have said,
00:04:35.12\00:04:36.16
The Lord hath raised
us up prophets in Babylon.
00:04:36.17\00:04:39.86
Know that thus
saith the Lord of the king
00:04:39.87\00:04:42.29
that sitteth upon
the throne of David,
00:04:42.30\00:04:44.43
and of all the people
that dwelleth in this city,
00:04:44.44\00:04:46.68
and of your
brethren that are not gone
00:04:46.69\00:04:48.66
forth with you into captivity.
00:04:48.67\00:04:50.63
Thus saith the Lord of hosts.
00:04:50.64\00:04:52.78
Behold I will send upon them
00:04:52.79\00:04:54.26
the sword, the
famine, and the pestilence,
00:04:54.27\00:04:56.86
and will make
them like vile figs,
00:04:56.87\00:04:58.79
that cannot be
eaten, they are so evil.
00:04:58.80\00:05:01.62
And I will
persecute them with the sword,
00:05:01.63\00:05:03.71
with the famine,
and with the pestilence,
00:05:03.72\00:05:05.21
and will deliver
them to be removed
00:05:05.22\00:05:07.94
to all the
kingdoms of the earth,
00:05:07.95\00:05:09.73
to be a curse,
and an astonishment,
00:05:09.74\00:05:11.76
and an hissing, and a reproach,
00:05:11.77\00:05:14.07
among all the nations
whither I have driven them.
00:05:14.08\00:05:17.58
Because they have not
hearkened to my words,
00:05:17.59\00:05:19.66
saith the Lord,
which I sent unto them
00:05:19.67\00:05:21.86
by my servants the prophets,
00:05:21.87\00:05:23.24
rising up early
and sending them,
00:05:23.25\00:05:25.55
but ye would not
hear, saith the Lord.
00:05:25.56\00:05:28.17
Hear ye therefore
the word of the Lord,
00:05:28.18\00:05:29.72
all ye of the
captivity, whom I have sent
00:05:29.73\00:05:32.10
from Jerusalem to Babylon.
00:05:32.11\00:05:34.52
Thus saith the Lord of
hosts, the God of Israel,
00:05:34.53\00:05:37.03
of Ahab the son of Kolaiah,
00:05:37.04\00:05:39.23
and of Zedekiah
the son of Maaseiah,
00:05:39.24\00:05:41.78
which prophesy a
lie unto you in my name.
00:05:41.79\00:05:44.59
Behold, I will
deliver them into the hand
00:05:44.60\00:05:46.66
of
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon,
00:05:46.67\00:05:49.28
and he shall slay
them before your eyes.
00:05:49.29\00:05:52.71
And of them shall
be taken up a curse
00:05:52.72\00:05:54.80
by all the captivity of Judah
00:05:54.81\00:05:56.50
which are in Babylon, saying,
00:05:56.51\00:05:58.33
the Lord make thee
like Zedekiah and like Ahab,
00:05:58.34\00:06:01.03
whom the king of
Babylon roasted in the fire.
00:06:01.04\00:06:04.42
Because they have
committed villany in Israel,
00:06:04.43\00:06:07.28
and have committed adultery
with their neighbors' wives,
00:06:07.29\00:06:09.79
and have spoken
lying words in my name,
00:06:09.80\00:06:12.18
which I have not commanded them
00:06:12.19\00:06:14.36
even I know, and am a
witness, saith the Lord.
00:06:14.37\00:06:18.71
Thus shalt thou
also speak to Shemaiah
00:06:18.72\00:06:21.74
the Nehelamite, saying,
00:06:21.75\00:06:23.50
the Lord of hosts,
the God of Israel, saying,
00:06:23.51\00:06:27.23
because thou hast
sent letters in thy name
00:06:27.24\00:06:29.44
unto all the people
that are at Jerusalem,
00:06:29.45\00:06:31.88
and to Zephaniah the
son of Maaseiah the priest,
00:06:31.89\00:06:35.29
and to all the priests, saying,
00:06:35.30\00:06:36.66
the Lord hath made thee priest
00:06:36.67\00:06:38.02
in the stead of
Jehoiada the priest,
00:06:38.03\00:06:40.35
that ye should be officers
in the house of the Lord,
00:06:40.36\00:06:43.29
for every man that is mad,
and maketh himself a prophet,
00:06:43.30\00:06:46.83
that thou
shouldest put him in prison,
00:06:46.84\00:06:48.31
and in the stocks.
00:06:48.32\00:06:50.40
Now therefore why hast thou not
00:06:50.41\00:06:51.95
reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth,
00:06:51.96\00:06:54.04
which maketh
himself a prophet to you?
00:06:54.05\00:06:56.86
For therefore he sent
unto us in Babylon, saying,
00:06:56.87\00:06:59.15
this captivity is
long, build ye houses,
00:06:59.16\00:07:01.36
and dwell in
them, and plant gardens,
00:07:01.37\00:07:02.71
and eat the fruit of them.
00:07:02.72\00:07:05.18
And Zephaniah the
priest read this letter
00:07:05.19\00:07:07.26
in the ears of
Jeremiah the prophet.
00:07:07.27\00:07:10.26
Then came the word of the Lord
00:07:10.27\00:07:11.25
unto Jeremiah,
saying, send to all them
00:07:11.26\00:07:14.45
of the captivity,
saying, thus saith the Lord
00:07:14.46\00:07:17.72
concerning
Shemaiah the Nehelamite.
00:07:17.73\00:07:21.53
Because that Shemaiah
hath prophesied unto you,
00:07:21.54\00:07:24.82
and I sent him not,
00:07:24.83\00:07:26.93
and he caused
you to trust in a lie
00:07:26.94\00:07:30.40
Therefore thus
saith the Lord, behold,
00:07:30.41\00:07:32.86
I will punish
Shemaiah the Nehelamite,
00:07:32.87\00:07:35.85
and his seed he
shall not have a man
00:07:35.86\00:07:38.91
to dwell among this people,
00:07:38.92\00:07:40.80
neither shall he behold the good
00:07:40.81\00:07:42.67
that I will do for my
people, saith the Lord,
00:07:42.68\00:07:45.82
because he hath taught
rebellion against the Lord.
00:07:45.83\00:07:51.24
Continuing now in the
Book of Jeremiah Chapter 30
00:07:51.25\00:07:54.19
and this is the
King James Version.
00:07:54.20\00:07:57.59
The word that came to
Jeremiah from the Lord,
00:07:57.60\00:07:59.66
saying, thus speaketh the Lord
00:07:59.67\00:08:02.22
God of Israel, saying,
Write thee all the words
00:08:02.23\00:08:05.93
that I have spoken
unto thee in a book.
00:08:05.94\00:08:08.78
For, lo, the days
come, saith the Lord,
00:08:08.79\00:08:10.66
that I will bring
again the captivity
00:08:10.67\00:08:12.93
of my people Israel
and Judah, saith the Lord
00:08:12.94\00:08:15.97
and I will cause
them to return to the land
00:08:15.98\00:08:18.74
that I gave to their fathers,
and they shall possess it.
00:08:18.75\00:08:23.14
And these are the
words that the Lord spake
00:08:23.15\00:08:25.45
concerning Israel
and concerning Judah.
00:08:25.46\00:08:28.89
For thus saith the Lord,
00:08:28.90\00:08:30.80
We have heard a
voice of trembling,
00:08:30.81\00:08:33.26
of fear, and not of peace.
00:08:33.27\00:08:36.72
Ask ye now, and see whether
a man doth travail with child?
00:08:36.73\00:08:40.36
Wherefore do I see every
man with his hands on his loins,
00:08:40.37\00:08:42.79
as a woman in travail,
00:08:42.80\00:08:43.93
and all faces are
turned into paleness?
00:08:43.94\00:08:47.31
Alas! For that day is
great, so that none is like it,
00:08:47.32\00:08:51.73
it is even the
time of Jacob's trouble,
00:08:51.74\00:08:55.01
but he shall be saved out of it.
00:08:55.02\00:08:57.36
For it shall come
to pass in that day,
00:08:57.37\00:08:59.84
saith the Lord of hosts,
that I will break his yoke
00:08:59.85\00:09:03.26
from off thy neck,
and will burst thy bonds,
00:09:03.27\00:09:07.12
and strangers shall no
more serve themselves of him.
00:09:07.13\00:09:10.94
But they shall
serve the Lord their God,
00:09:10.95\00:09:12.99
and David their king,
whom I will raise up unto them.
00:09:13.00\00:09:17.15
Therefore fear thou
not, O my servant Jacob,
00:09:17.16\00:09:20.13
saith the Lord,
neither be dismayed,
00:09:20.14\00:09:22.92
O Israel, for, lo, I
will save thee from afar,
00:09:22.93\00:09:28.11
and thy seed from the
land of their captivity
00:09:28.12\00:09:31.02
and Jacob shall
return, and shall be in rest,
00:09:31.03\00:09:34.27
and be quiet, and
none shall make him afraid.
00:09:34.28\00:09:38.84
For I am with thee,
saith the Lord, to save thee.
00:09:38.85\00:09:43.46
Though I make a
full end of all nations
00:09:43.47\00:09:46.25
whither I have scattered thee,
00:09:46.26\00:09:48.07
yet I will not
make a full end of thee,
00:09:48.08\00:09:51.66
but I will
correct thee in measure,
00:09:51.67\00:09:54.34
and will not leave
thee altogether unpunished.
00:09:54.35\00:09:57.71
For thus saith the
Lord, thy bruise is incurable,
00:09:57.72\00:10:01.70
and thy wound is grievous.
00:10:01.71\00:10:04.17
There is none
to plead thy cause,
00:10:04.18\00:10:06.39
that thou mayest be bound up
00:10:06.40\00:10:08.21
thou hast no healing medicines.
00:10:08.22\00:10:11.94
All thy lovers
have forgotten thee,
00:10:11.95\00:10:14.34
they seek thee not,
00:10:14.35\00:10:16.22
for I have wounded thee
with the wound of an enemy,
00:10:16.23\00:10:18.52
with the
chastisement of a cruel one,
00:10:18.53\00:10:20.94
for the multitude
of thine iniquity,
00:10:20.95\00:10:23.55
because thy sins were increased.
00:10:23.56\00:10:26.81
Why criest thou
for thine affliction?
00:10:26.82\00:10:29.72
Thy sorrow is incurable
00:10:29.73\00:10:31.69
for the multitude
of thine iniquity,
00:10:31.70\00:10:34.12
because thy sins were increased,
00:10:34.13\00:10:35.88
I have done
these things unto thee.
00:10:35.89\00:10:38.90
Therefore all they that
devour thee shall be devoured
00:10:38.91\00:10:42.92
and all thine
adversaries, every one of them,
00:10:42.93\00:10:45.43
shall go into captivity
and they that spoil thee
00:10:45.44\00:10:48.42
shall be a spoil, and
all that prey upon thee
00:10:48.43\00:10:51.56
will I give for a prey.
00:10:51.57\00:10:54.07
For I will
restore health unto thee,
00:10:54.08\00:10:57.07
and I will heal
thee of thy wounds,
00:10:57.08\00:10:59.36
saith the Lord,
because they called thee
00:10:59.37\00:11:02.78
an Outcast,
saying, This is Zion,
00:11:02.79\00:11:06.15
whom no man seeketh after.
00:11:06.16\00:11:08.77
Thus saith the Lord behold,
00:11:08.78\00:11:11.37
I will bring again the
captivity of Jacob's tents,
00:11:11.38\00:11:15.08
and have mercy on
his dwellingplaces
00:11:15.09\00:11:18.53
and the city shall be
builded upon her own heap,
00:11:18.54\00:11:20.92
and the palace shall
remain after the manner thereof.
00:11:20.93\00:11:24.24
And out of them
shall proceed thanksgiving
00:11:24.25\00:11:27.50
and the voice of
them that make merry
00:11:27.51\00:11:30.32
and I will multiply them,
and they shall not be few,
00:11:30.33\00:11:34.33
I will also glorify them,
and they shall not be small.
00:11:34.34\00:11:38.87
Their children also
shall be as aforetime,
00:11:38.88\00:11:41.49
and their congregation
shall be established before me,
00:11:41.50\00:11:45.00
and I will punish
all that oppress them.
00:11:45.01\00:11:47.91
And their nobles
shall be of themselves,
00:11:47.92\00:11:50.63
and their governor shall proceed
00:11:50.64\00:11:52.39
from the midst of them,
00:11:52.40\00:11:53.37
and I will cause
him to draw near,
00:11:53.38\00:11:54.56
and he shall approach unto me.
00:11:54.57\00:11:56.97
For who is this
that engaged his heart
00:11:56.98\00:11:59.01
to approach unto
me, saith the Lord.
00:11:59.02\00:12:02.37
And ye shall be my
people, and I will be your God.
00:12:02.38\00:12:06.51
Behold, the whirlwind of
the Lord goeth forth with fury,
00:12:06.52\00:12:09.79
a continuing whirlwind
it shall fall with pain
00:12:09.80\00:12:13.74
upon the head of the wicked.
00:12:13.75\00:12:15.83
The fierce anger of
the Lord shall not return,
00:12:15.84\00:12:18.01
until he hath done it,
and until he have performed
00:12:18.02\00:12:20.35
the intents of his heart
00:12:20.36\00:12:22.80
in the latter days
ye shall consider it.
00:12:22.81\00:12:27.03
Continuing now with
Jeremiah Chapter 31,
00:12:27.04\00:12:29.59
this is the King James Version.
00:12:29.60\00:12:32.76
At the same
time, saith the Lord,
00:12:32.77\00:12:35.42
will I be the God of
all the families of Israel,
00:12:35.43\00:12:38.78
and they shall be my people.
00:12:38.79\00:12:41.43
Thus saith the Lord,
the people which were left
00:12:41.44\00:12:44.46
of the sword found
grace in the wilderness,
00:12:44.47\00:12:48.68
even Israel, when I
went to cause him to rest.
00:12:48.69\00:12:52.75
The Lord hath appeared
of old unto me, saying,
00:12:52.76\00:12:55.34
yea, I have loved thee
with an everlasting love
00:12:55.35\00:12:59.61
therefore with loving
kindness have I drawn thee.
00:12:59.62\00:13:03.19
Again I will build
thee, and thou shalt be built,
00:13:03.20\00:13:07.23
O virgin of
Israel thou shalt again
00:13:07.24\00:13:09.61
be adorned with thy tabrets,
00:13:09.62\00:13:11.27
and shalt go forth
in the dances of them
00:13:11.28\00:13:13.37
that make merry.
00:13:13.38\00:13:15.36
Thou shalt yet plant
vines upon the mountains
00:13:15.37\00:13:17.52
of Samaria the
planters shall plant,
00:13:17.53\00:13:20.13
and shall eat
them as common things.
00:13:20.14\00:13:23.52
For there shall be a
day, that the watchmen
00:13:23.53\00:13:25.95
upon the mount
Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye,
00:13:25.96\00:13:29.49
and let us go up to
Zion unto the Lord our God.
00:13:29.50\00:13:33.29
For thus saith the Lord
Sing with gladness for Jacob,
00:13:33.30\00:13:36.46
and shout among the chief
of the nations publish ye,
00:13:36.47\00:13:40.50
praise ye, and say,
00:13:40.51\00:13:41.85
O Lord, save thy
people, the remnant of Israel.
00:13:41.86\00:13:45.74
Behold, I will bring
them from the north country,
00:13:45.75\00:13:47.81
and gather them from
the coasts of the earth,
00:13:47.82\00:13:50.53
and with them the
blind and the lame,
00:13:50.54\00:13:52.77
the woman with child
and her that travaileth
00:13:52.78\00:13:54.91
with child together a great
company shall return thither.
00:13:54.92\00:13:59.56
They shall come with weeping,
00:13:59.57\00:14:00.68
and with
supplications will I lead them.
00:14:00.69\00:14:03.50
I will cause them to
walk by the rivers of waters
00:14:03.51\00:14:06.20
in a straight way,
wherein they shall not stumble
00:14:06.21\00:14:10.41
for I am a father to Israel,
and Ephraim is my firstborn.
00:14:10.42\00:14:15.24
Hear the word of
the Lord, O ye nations,
00:14:15.25\00:14:17.11
and declare it in the
isles afar off, and say,
00:14:17.12\00:14:20.39
He that scattered
Israel will gather him,
00:14:20.40\00:14:23.61
and keep him, as a
shepherd doth his flock.
00:14:23.62\00:14:27.59
For the Lord
hath redeemed Jacob,
00:14:27.60\00:14:31.35
and ransomed him
from the hand of him
00:14:31.36\00:14:34.05
that was stronger than he.
00:14:34.06\00:14:36.95
Please join me again next time
00:14:36.96\00:14:38.30
to continue reading
the word of God together.
