  Speaker 2: have hundreds of listeners who tune in, but we want
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: you to take that extra step and come and join
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: our online community. Amen. Now, in our previous episode, we
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: saw Jeremiah talking. Passed the symbolic cup. It was the
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: cup of the wine of the judgment of God. And
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: this time we're not talking about Jerusalem. We're not talking
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: about Judea. We are talking about the nations of the
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: entire world. This includes you. And this includes me. So
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: it's going to get even more serious on today's episode.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: God commands the nations to drink from that cup. Warns
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: them not to drink. If they don't drink, they will
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: not be able to escape God's judgment. And so there
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: is going to be a great upheaval that will spread
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: from nation to nation. Now, if you look back in
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: our history, we haven't seen anything like this since the
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: flood of Noah. When God flooded the whole entire earth,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: then we saw calamity and upheaval happen from nation to nation.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Since the flood, there's been catastrophes and things like that
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: throughout history, but it was localized to different parts of
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: the earth, different nations. And specifically, the nation of Israel
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: was getting a lot of it. Now, we're going to
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: see the whole entire earth, all the inhabitants of the world,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: are going to experience the judgment of God. And what
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: are we talking about? Right now, Jeremiah took a time
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: machine and he came to today. Right? Now, these prophecies
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: are over probably like 4,000 years, I'm guessing off the
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: top of my head, because Christ was alive 2,000 years ago.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: The captivity of Babylon happened way before Christ came. So anyway,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: we could probably Google that. So he's talking about the
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: book of Revelation. He's talking about what is about to
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: happen upon planet earth, the time period that we are about.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: we are about to step into the doorway of this prophecy.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: So we really need to pay attention and take heed.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: With that, let's go before Father in prayer. Father, we
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: thank you for this time. We thank you for this opportunity.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: And Father, let us not waste another day. If we
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: need to get right with you today, then let us
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: not go to bed tonight Let not our heads hit
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: the pillow without asking you for forgiveness and without receiving
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: the Lord Jesus as our Savior, without reaching out, Lord,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: to a minister or a pastor or even on the
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: live chat, reach out to us so that we can
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: make sure that we are right with you, Lord. For
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: we know that, Jesus, your return is soon. And now
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: is not the time to play games. We cannot be
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: distracted by the things of this world. But help us,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: oh God, to be focused upon you and fulfilling the
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: purposes you've given us on this earth before we leave it.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: We ask this in Jesus name. Amen. I love it.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: It's about to get deep because now we're looking in
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: the mirror. We're not talking about Judah. Or Jerusalem, we're
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: talking about the inhabitants of the entire world. Verse 27. Therefore,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: thus thou shalt say to them, thus says the Lord
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: of hosts, the God of Israel, drink ye and be
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: drunken and spew. Or in other words, throw up and
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: vomit and fall. and rise no more because of the sword,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: which I will sin among you. Wow. Let's keep reading
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: verse 28. And it shall be if they refuse to
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: take the cup that thine hand If they refuse to
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: thou say unto them, Thus says the Lord of hosts,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: You shall certainly drink. 29 For lo, I began to
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: bring evil on the city which is called by my name,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: and should ye be utterly unpunished. So if he punished
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: the city that is called by his name, are we
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: going to escape you shall not be unpunished for I
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: the earth says the Lord of hosts verse 30 therefore
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: prophesy thou again against them all these words and say
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: to them, Lord shall roar from on high and utter
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: his voice from his holy habitation. He shall mightily roar
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: upon his inhabitation. He shall give a shout as they
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: that tread the grapes Against all the inhabitants of the earth. 31.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: A noise shall come. Even to the ends of the earth.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: For the Lord has. A controversy with the nations. He
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: shall plead with all flesh. He. Will give them. That.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Are wicked to the sword. Says the Lord. 32. This
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: is a Lord of hosts. Behold, evil shall go forth
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: from nation to nation and a great whirlwind shall be
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: raised up from the coast of the earth. Now, this
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: is strong. And I'm coming at you from the old
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: King James. All right, let's break it down. Verse by verse,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: verse 27, the consequences of refusing God's warning. Now here
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: the cup symbolizes the judgment God has declared. The language
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: is drunkenness and vomiting and falling portrays the nations being
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: overwhelmed by the consequences of that judgment. With the sword
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: representing war and destruction. This is our immediate future. That's
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: why it's really important to get right with God. God
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: tells Jeremiah to command. He gives a commandment. Only a
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: general or a king, someone in authority can give a commandment.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: If you've got military background, you know how important it
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: is to obey a command. So he's commanding the nations
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: to drink and telling them to become drunk and to
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: stagger and to fall. This is not an invitation to
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: have a party, right? To go drink at a party. No,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: this is a picture of nations becoming overwhelmed by judgment
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: until they can no longer stand. If God be for us,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: who can be against us? Nobody can stand against the Lord. Amen. Now,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: the cup we studied in the previous episode represents the
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: judgment God has determined to bring upon all the nations.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: The sword points to the violence, the devastation that would
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: accompany that judgment. Think about the violence that we endure
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: now as a nation. Think about the things we hear
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: coming out of Chicago. People call it Chirac. The bad
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: areas of town where the gangs are just running rampant.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Now imagine that multiplied throughout the whole world. The whole
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: world is gang territory, conflict and war. Think about what
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: happens when people repeatedly ignore warnings. A person may ignore advice.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: about their finances, health, and relationships, or even their conduct.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: At first, the consequences may seem distant, but eventually the
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: choices begin to catch up to them in life. How
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: many people do we know that this has happened to them?
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Israel and the surrounding nations had received warnings through God's
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: prophets The problem was not that God had failed to speak.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: The problem was that people refused to listen to his warnings.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: So we too, beloved, must be careful not to assume
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: that every hardship someone is experiencing a direct punishment from God.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Scripture does not give us permission to make that judgment
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: about every individual situation. But this passage does teach that
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: persistent rebellion against God has serious consequences. So here's a lesson.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: When God's word corrects us, we should not wait until
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: the consequences become unavoidable before we respond. Don't be stubborn.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Don't be stiff necked. If you've ever raised teenagers before,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: you understand what I'm saying. They get to a point
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: in life where they feel that they don't have to
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: listen to their parents. And I tell my children, well,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: if you don't listen to me, what makes you think
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: I need to listen to you? Because they're going to
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: turn around. They're going to ask for this, that, or
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: the other. And I think it's only fair, right? Verse 28,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: you shall certainly drink. Nations might refuse Jeremiah's message, but
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: their refusal will not cancel God's declared judgment. Human resistance
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: cannot overturn the authority of the Lord. And I faced
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: it before when I'm witnessing this. I've witnessed and spoken
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: to my coworkers before about the gospel. But one day
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: they're going to have to face it themselves. God has
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: given everyone opportunity right now to get it right. But
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: they'd rather deal with me or they'd rather deal with
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: the minister while there's hope. Because when they go before God,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: it'll be too late to make those corrections. And so
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: God tells Jeremiah that if the nations, if they refuse
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: to drink of a cup, then he must tell them
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: that they will certainly drink. It doesn't matter your attitude.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter your response. We tell our children all
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: the time, your attitude doesn't matter. So in other words,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: rejecting the warning does not make the warning disappear. We
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: can't just duck our heads in the sand and think
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: everything will be fine. People sometimes believe that if they
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: ignore an uncomfortable truth, they can avoid dealing with it.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: They avoid difficult conversations. They postpone necessary changes or convince
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: themselves that accountability will never come. God here is holding
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: the entire world accountable. But refusing to acknowledge a problem
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: is not the same as solving it. You're not solving
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: anything just because you want to postpone or you want
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: to delay the inevitable, right? In the same principles applies
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: to our relationship with God. We cannot rewrite his standards
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: simply because they challenge our preferences. We cannot make his
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: word untrue by disagreeing with it. And I see it today,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: especially in this generation, people want to do their own
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: things and People want to change their sexual orientation. People
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: want to steal and cheat. People just want, they think
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: that they can just live how they want to and
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: they're not going to be accountable to God. god is
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: the one who gives the standards god is the one
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: who calls good good and evil evil at that point
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: we are making ourselves our own gods you know trust
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: me that is not going to work out good for
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: the human race So it doesn't mean that we should
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: approach people in a harsh way, right? Or use scripture
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: to threaten them. Jeremiah was delivering a specific prophetic message
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: from God. Our responsibility today is to communicate scripture faithfully
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: with humility, wisdom, and with love. You see, beloved, if
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: we can warn you now, we give you the truth.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: And then It is a act of love because now
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: you can do something about it. The Bible says today
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: is the day of salvation. Tomorrow is not promised. We
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: may reject the warnings, but rejection does not erase the
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: reality of it. Verse 29, judgment begins with the city
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: called by my name. Now, Jerusalem's special relationship with God
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: did not guarantee immunity from God's judgment. If the city
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: associated with his name would be held accountable, the surrounding
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: nations would not reasonably escape the accountability themselves. They cannot
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: expect that they will just keep doing their own things
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: and nothing is going to happen if God judged Jerusalem
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: and then yes he's going to judge the rest of
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: the world now this verse contains a sobering question right here.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: If God begins judgment with the city called by his name,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: why would other nations expect to go unpunished? Jerusalem had
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: the temple and the history of God's covenant, yet the
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: people's spiritual privilege did not give them permission to live
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: in rebellion. This challenges the idea that Religious association automatically
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: makes a person right with God. I talked to some
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: people about their soul and about their walk with the
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Lord and about Jesus. And some people tell me, oh, well,
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: my cousin is a minister or my parents were ministers
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: or my grandfather was a prophet. Okay, that has nothing
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: to do with you and your relationship with God. You
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: can't just be associated with somebody and think you're right.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Wearing a cross, attending church, listening to Christian music, serving
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: in ministry, or even just knowing Bible verses does not
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: replace a surrendered heart. We need to yield our lives
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: and surrender our hearts over to the Lord. That means
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: renewing our mind, renewing the way we think. Lining up
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: our thoughts with God's thoughts, our actions, our lifestyle is
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: supposed to reflect our faith. Faith without works is dead.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: God cares about what we believe. But genuine faith should
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: also shape how we live. We should be growing in honesty, compassion, justice, forgiveness,
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: and obedience, the fruits of the spirit should be dripping
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: off of us. And the passage also reminds us that
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: God's standards are not limited to one nation or culture.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: The nations, plural, are accountable to him and his people
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: are accountable to him. So if we represent Christ, our
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: lives should reflect his character. We should never use our
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: faith as a shield against correction. Being associated with God's
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: name is a responsibility, not a license to do whatever
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: we want. Verse 30, the Lord roars from on high now.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: This should give us a healthy fear of God. The
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: picture of the Lord roaring communicates a powerful and serious
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: and his prominence. Now, the comparison to treading grapes betrays
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: judgment as a forceful act against the nations, not a
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: message to They can simply dismiss. At this point, we
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: need to look up how people tread grapes. What does
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: it mean to tread grapes? I know that in ancient times,
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: they would step on them and crush them right to
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: where all the juices flowed. And if I'm correct, I'm
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: not an expert in this, but this is how they
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: make wine. I believe now what I get out of
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: this is the judgment of God is going to crush
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: nations to the point where their blood will be flowing
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: in the streets. Can you imagine? There's even a picture
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: where Jesus himself in the book of Revelation said he
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: came to To tread the grape of the fury of
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: God's wrath. And that his garments would be full of blood.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: And he's going to tread down the nations. This is
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: nothing to play with, beloved. Please make sure you are
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: on God's side. Please make sure you're right. This is
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: where the nations of the world are headed. Jeremiah describes
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: the Lord roaring from a high, from on high and
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: speaking from his holy habitation. Now, the picture is powerful
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: because it presents God as a judge whose voice cannot
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: be ignored. Now, this verse compares his shout to the
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: sound of those treading grapes. Like I said, in the
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: ancient world, grapes were crushed to produce fruit. Here, that
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: familiar picture becomes a picture of the force of divine judgment.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: The nations are about to get crushed like grapes. God
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: is not portrayed as a powerless or indifferent God. to
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: the evil taking place in the world. Sometimes people ask
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: why God allows injustice to continue. Jeremiah reminds us that
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: God sees what happens and his patience does not mean
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: he has surrendered his authority at all. However, we should
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: not assume that we know exactly when or how God
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: will judge a particular person, government, or even event. Our
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: calling is to remain faithful to what scripture clearly teaches
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: rather than make unsupported predictions. We're not supposed to be happy.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: We're not supposed to be excited. As a matter of fact,
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: In previous episodes, we looked at Jeremiah and we saw
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: that he was a weeping prophet. He prophesied with tears.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: His heart was broken over the judgment that God was
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: about to bring. And so our hearts be broken over
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: the broken lives that we come in contact with, knowing
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: what God's word says. To those who refuse to listen,
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: the Lord's holiness means that evil matters. The Lord God
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: is a holy God and he hates evil. He hates sin.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: so he sees the oppression he sees dishonesty the mistreatment
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: of the vulnerable all that matters and because these things
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: matter to God they should matter to us The voice
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: of God deserves our attention long before the consequences of
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: disobedience arise. Or should I say arrive, right? So the
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: voice of God, in other words, studying the word, locking
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: in every day at 11 o'clock with me right here
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: on the podcast is a good start. But you need
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: to study the word for yourself and make a thorough
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: study of it. Verse 31, God has controversy with the nations.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: The Lord's controversy with the nations describe his case against
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: their wrongdoing. The picture of bringing the wicked to the
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: sword emphasizes that God's judgment is directed against evil and
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: that no nation is beyond his authority. Amen. Amen. Accountability
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: is real. Verse 31 says that the noise will reach
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: the ends of the earth because the Lord has controversy
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: with the nations. So KJV uses the phrase, he will
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: plead with all flesh, describing God bringing his case against humanity.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: It's almost like going to court today. God has a problem.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: He has an issue with the human race. Outside of Christ,
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: we're cooked, beloved. Now, as we read this, this should
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: make us appreciate what the Lord has done for us
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: even more. Because it's only through Christ we can escape
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: God's judgment and his wrath here on earth and in
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: eternal punishment. It looks like you lost another one. This
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: right here is courtroom language. God is not making an
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: uninformed accusation. He knows the truth and he is the
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: righteous judge. The verse ends with a warning that the
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: wicked will be given to the sword. Now in the
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: historical context of this points to the coming devastation and
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: warfare associated with God's announced judgment. But this should make
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: us think seriously about justice. Human courts can make mistakes.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Powerful people can escape consequences for a time. Victims may
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: be ignored and wrongdoing may be concealed, but God, right?
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: But God's judgment is not limited by human influence, wealth,
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: or even connections. Now, at the same time, we should
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: not take this verse as permission to seek revenge either.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Scripture calls us to pursue what is right and to
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: leave ultimate judgment into God's hands. Beloved, nobody is going
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: to get away with anything. Our responsibility is to live justly,
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: defend the vulnerable in our society, those who cannot protect themselves.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: We need to speak truthfully and refuse to celebrate evil
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: simply because it happens to someone we don't like. Or
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: if it happened to someone else, And we think they
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: deserve it. God's justice should lead us to humility and
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: not be arrogant about it. Verse 32, a great whirlwind
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: from the ends of the earth. Now this picture of
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: evil moving from nation to nation and a great whirlwind
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: rising from distant regions portrays Why spread turmoil? The prophecy
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: emphasizes that the coming judgment would affect many peoples, not
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: merely one city. So Jeremiah closes this section by describing
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: evil going from nation to nation in a great whirlwind
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: rising from the coast of the earth. We just had
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: a hurricane here on the Pacific Ocean California, about a
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: week or two ago, was flooded. Some of the cities,
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: not the entire state, but some of the cities on
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: the coast. This is unheard of, right? I think this
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: is the first time we had something like this. Usually
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: it happens from the Atlantic side. But just imagine, I
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: can just imagine this judgment. overwhelming upheaval just like that
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: violent storm like the tornado the coming events would spread
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: across territories and disrupt the lives of many people so
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: in the immediate context jeremiah is warning of widespread judgment
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: involving nations and warfare We should first understand the prophecy
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: in its historical setting rather than automatically assuming every modern
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: conflict is related to this verse. Nevertheless, the passage contains
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: a timeless lesson. The consequences of human wrongdoing can spread
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: far beyond the people who first make destructive choices. A
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: leader's corruption can damage a whole community. A nation's injustice
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: can create suffering across borders. One person's dishonesty can break
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: trust throughout a family or organization. Sin rarely stays neatly contained, right?
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: But neither should we believe that destruction is the only
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: possible outcome for people who have done wrong. Scripture also
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: calls people to repentance and offers hope through God's mercy.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. So when we see
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: turmoil in the world, we should pray, seek truth. Help
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: those who are suffering and examine our own lives in
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: the process. We should not use fear or speculation as
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: a substitute for faithful living. When the world feels like
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: a whirlwind, stand firm in God's truth and do not work.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: and do the work that God has placed before you.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: So the big lesson today, God's warnings are not empty words.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: Number one, God's warnings are meant to be taken seriously.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Ignoring the truth does not remove the consequences of our choices.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: We cannot ignore God. The choices that we make on
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: a daily basis, religious privilege does not replace obedience. Jerusalem
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: was called by God's name, yet it was still accountable
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: to God. God sees injustice. No ruler, nation, or individual
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: is beyond his authority. And human wrongdoing has consequences beyond
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: the individual. Destructive choices can affect families, communities, and an
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: entire nation. And number five, we should respond with humility,
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: not speculation or revenge. The passage calls us to take
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: God seriously, examine ourselves, and leave ultimate judgment in his hands.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: So here's a personal challenge. Do not wait for your
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: life to become a crisis before you take. God's word seriously. Now,
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: if you know you need to apologize, make the call.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: If you need to correct a dishonest practice, take the
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: first step. If you have been neglecting your time with God,
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: start today. Now, we cannot control decisions that other people make.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: And we cannot solve every problem in the world, but
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: we can choose to respond faithfully to what God has
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: shown us right here in this podcast, right here in
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: this chapter. I mean, why not? humble ourselves before God?
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Why not walk before him humbly? We don't know it all.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: We don't have it all figured out. And we've been
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: running our lives up to this point. And what has
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: that gotten us? Broken relationships. Some of us are addicted
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: to drugs or alcohol. Some of us have a secret
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: life addicted to pornography. Can't stay faithful to your wife
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: or children. God's weight is the best way to live. Amen.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: That's how we can truly be blessed. All right, beloved.

• 46:19
  Speaker 2: new name in the live chat, we have a new login.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: I've been talking to to my brother for the last
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: couple of days about the podcast and he downloaded the
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: app and he was looking for the live chat where
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: we're on here live so if you're on brother we
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: appreciate you say something set up your profile set up
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: your pic and meet us here every day at 11
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: Monday through Saturday so that you can get that spiritual
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: encouragement my brother speaking of spiritual encouragement Let's jump into
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: our accountability partner segment. This right here is where we
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: encourage you to get with a pastor, your pastor or
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: spiritual leader or someone who is spiritually mature. It could
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: be your grandfather, grandmother, somebody that's been praying for you
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: and just have a conversation and we give you some
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: suggested topics and you could see these in the community
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: so if you're in a live chat right now head
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: over to the community so you can follow along and
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: so this week take time with your accountability partner to
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: identify one warning sign you've been ignoring in your life
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: there might be a relationship that needs to be amended
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: a habit that is pulling you away from God, a
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: commitment you have neglected or an area where pride keeps
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: you from accepting correction. And then if you get a
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: chance to read Jeremiah 25, 27 and 32 together, passage
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: that we just read together on this podcast and then
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: Ask each other, what truth have I been avoiding because
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: it makes me uncomfortable? Or where do I need to
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: accept responsibility instead of making excuses? These are good questions, right?
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: What specific action can I take this week to bring
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: my choices into alignment with God's word? Amen. Go over
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: these topics and discuss them. The only way that this
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: works is if we have integrity. We're honest with ourselves.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: I believe, I mean, I've lied to other people before,
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: but I believe the worst lie you can tell is
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: when you lie to yourself. The Bible says our hearts
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: are evil and desperately wicked. Who can know it? Do
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: not put too much stock in your feelings, your emotions,
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: your opinion. your thought, your point of view. Because you
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: actually are your worst enemy. Worse than the devil, because
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: if it wasn't for your prideful heart, the devil would
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: have nothing to work with. But because of our pride
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: and our arrogance, the devil can step right in and
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: stir it up and harden our hearts from God and
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: his word and his loving correction. So have integrity. Be honest.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: Go over these topics. Talk to somebody that is not
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: just going to tell you what you want to hear,
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: but somebody that will understand. Somebody that will speak in love,
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: not somebody that will condemn you and make you feel worse, right?
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: Somebody who's willing to build you up in the Lord. Amen. Also,
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: we want to let you know that His Hot Radio

  Speaker 2: get get the right question and you answer it correctly
• 51:39

• 51:49
  Speaker 2: our reigning champ Zone 3 one of the dopest CHH
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: artists in Vegas he's been holding down the trivia because
• 52:02

• 52:06
  Speaker 2: And our brother stays consistent. But that's cool because he's
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: growing in his knowledge of the word. Amen. He's growing
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: in his knowledge of scripture. So that is a great,
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: as a matter of fact, that is the greatest accomplishment.
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go over yesterday's question. Yesterday's question was,
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: which three groups of kings are named together immediately before
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: Jeremiah mentions the kings of the north? And actually, nobody
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: got that. Zone three was not able to jump on
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: the podcast yesterday. So that question is open. Right there.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: But today's question is what two sounds or actions are
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: used to describe the Lord's proclamation against the inhabitants of
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: the earth? Once again, what two sounds or actions are
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: used to describe the Lord's proclamation against the inhabitants of
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: the earth? Like I said, the first one to give
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: that is the Trivia Champion. Also, it's time for our
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: community shout out. This is where we give updates of
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: our activities, what we're doing throughout the community. We have
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: a business mixer that we will be at November the 3rd.
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: It is on our calendar on our website. It's off
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: of Lake Mead over there by the old... Nevada Power building.
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know if Nevada Power is still over there.
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: But it's in the UNLV. Not UNLV, but the Reno campus.
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: There's a Reno campus over there. We'll do our mixer.
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: We'll be there next Tuesday, I believe. Is it third?
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: Also on the seventh, we have another business mixer we're
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: going to go to. This particular, well, the first one,
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: we're bringing a podcast. This one, we're bringing a podcast.
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: And I will be DJing this one. And also, if
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: you have families that could use some assistance for Christmas,
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: for the holidays, we will be giving away toys. Sign
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: up for our Substack newsletter. And we will give you
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: the Details of where we're going to be the day,
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: the time. Well, the day is December 19th. We know that.
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: So we're just working out a venue. We're working out

• 55:29
  Speaker 2: want to let you know that His Hop Nation is
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: a 501c3. We are a public charity. We opened up
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: a first Christian club in Las Vegas in 2012. Christian
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: Hip Hop Club, that is. We were able to operate
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: and run the club for seven years, six and a half, actually.
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: And it's been a blessing to the community. We've used
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: it as an outreach. We've had artists come out to minister.
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: Throughout the years, big names and independent artists came to minister.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: You can look us up on the news. We're in
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: a newspaper. Just look up Club His Hop or just
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: go to our website, hishopnation.com if you want to learn
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: more about it. And if you would like to support
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: the reopen, because we're looking to relaunch and reopen the club,
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: we just need the space to secure a new building.
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: We're looking for monthly donors. We're looking for sponsors, supporters,

• 56:56
  Speaker 2: It is a tax write-off. So sometimes a tax write-off,
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: having enough things that you can write off can be
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: the difference between owing taxes and receiving a refund. So yeah,
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: we did that so you guys can be blessed as
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: you are sowing into good ground. With that, my time
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: is up, beloved. Thank you for hanging out with us
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: once again On the His Hop Radio podcast. Now, you know,
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: I got to close out with some final remarks, right?
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: We have heard a serious warning in this episode. The
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: nations could not escape God's judgment simply by refusing to
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: listen to Jeremiah, the prophets or his word, right? Jerusalem
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: was not exempt. Because it was associated with God's name
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: and the surrounding nations were not exempt because they were
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: powerful or distant, far away. So the message is not
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: that we should live in constant fear. The message is
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: that God's word deserves a response. God's justice is real, beloved,
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: and his mercy is real. When we recognize that we
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: have gone in the wrong direction, we should turn back
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: to him rather than harden our hearts. So take this
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: passage personally. Do not use it merely to criticize the
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: world or political leaders or people you disagree with. Ask
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: the Lord to examine your own heart first. And then
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: once you do that, then you can go out and
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: try to. to rescue others that are heading down the
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: path of destruction. We don't want that. We don't want
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: to see that. Our hearts need to break, just like
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: our brother, Prophet Jeremiah. His heart was broken over the states.
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: Of the nations. In the coming. Judgment. Of God. Amen.
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: Our next episode. We're going to finish this chapter. Hopefully.
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: Lord willing. But thank you for spending time with us.
