Jeremiah

Jeremiah is considered to be the second of the major prophets. He authored the Books of Jeremiah and the small poetic book of Lamentations.

He lived and prophesied around 100 years after Isaiah beginning in 627 B.C. until around 586 B.C. The Book of Jeremiah records the warning of oncoming destruction which are the final prophecies to Judah if that nation does not repent. It is the individual people that needed to repent for they had gone the way of Egypt and Nimrod's Babylon.^[1]

The priests and pastors also "rebelled"^[2] against the LORD by teaching the way of Baal.^[3]

The Book of Jeremiah reflects the ever-worsening situation Jeremiah encountered. At various times, he had the unenviable tasks of challenging the religious hypocrisy, economic dishonesty and oppressive practices of Judah’s leaders and those who followed them. Jeremiah calls out for the nation to turn back to God. At the same time, Jeremiah recognizes the inevitability of Judah’s destruction due to its unrepentant idolatry^[4][ and immorality.

When the people went into captivity through the bondage of Egypt God dissolved the bands that had snared them into bondage. Through the error of Baalim the nation was again pollutedCite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag

The book is used by pro-life groups to establish that you are alive in the womb.^[5]

The book is centered on the rebellion of Israel and the coming judgment that is the result of cause and effect. A great deal of emphasis is placed on the fact that Israel has violated the covenant of God. Yet, God continues to call for repentance. But finally, time runs out and the destruction comes like the decline and fall of the Roman Empire.

Covetousness is idolatry
Colossians 3:5 "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:"

Ephesians 5:5 "For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God."

1 Corinthians 5:10 "Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat."
- For it is written that the tables of dainties provided by rulers of the world are a snare because they cause the masses to bite one another through government systems of legal charity which are covetous practices which are a form of fornication or adultery where the people are devoured as merchandise, curse children and are "entangled again in the yoke of bondage" with the aid of the false religion of the whore who rides the beast.
