  Speaker 3: a little bit more encouraging than the other chapters we've

  Speaker 3: been going through the other passages of Scripture. Right, He's
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: gonna shift from judgment to restoration. And this is amazing.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: This is why I love the God we serve. He

• 2:16
  Speaker 3: this narrow path that leads to life. We want to

  Speaker 3: keep everyone off of that broad road because it's the
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: broad road that leads to destructions. So in order to

• 3:03
  Speaker 3: in discipleship. We all need help, we all need to fellowship,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: we all need to strengthen each other. There is power
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: in unity as we come together. This is the heart
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: of God and so that is our prayer and that
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: is what we contend for here at His Hot Nation.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Grab your bibles, you know, pass in your highlighters meet
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: me in Jeremiah chapter sixteen, and we're gonna pick it
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: up in verse fourteen. Now let's go before our Father
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: and prayer. Heavenly Father, we thank you, Father God for
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: another beautiful day. Lord. This is the day that you've made,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Oh Father God. We will rejoice and be glad in it.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Father God. We thank you, Father God for your grace
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: and your mercy and the power of your holy spirit
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: that shadows over us. We ask that you'll touch to
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: us in and through this podcast as we dig deep
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: into your word. In Jesus name, we pray.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Ay man.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: All right. Like I said a minute ago, last chapter
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: was pretty tough. It was tough because we saw the
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: judgment of God on the whole family, on the whole nation.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: God told Jeremiah that you'll be better off as a
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: single man because the children will be slain. The women
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: will be slain as well as the men. And he
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: said that their bodies will be on earth like refuge
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: or in other words, like a toilet, like something that
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: you discard and don't need anymore. And he's going to
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: invite the wild beast of the earth Earth to come
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: and feast on their carcasses the birds. That is pretty gruesome,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: but that is what happens when we kindle the wrath
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: of God. And you really can't blame him right because
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: He has done everything that he could do to keep
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: us from it. He sent has only be gotten son,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Jesus Christ, to pay the penalty for our sins, that
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: our iniquities on the cross. All we have to do
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: is look at the cross, so we can see the
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: love of God. But also we can see the justice
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: of God at work as well. So we need to
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: live a life of holiness. We need to forsake sin,
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: we need to shun it. If we are to make
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: it into the kingdom.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: We need to do.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: All we can to renew our minds in God's word
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: and to live a life of obedience. We not only
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: need to just know the Word, but we need to
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: pray that our hearts will be submitted to the Word
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: of God as well. We have to obey it and
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: keep it amen. So that's why the judgment is coming.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: That's why we see everything happening to the nation of Israel.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: But we take a turn right here in verse fourteen.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: We're starting to see a glimpse of hope. So let's
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: read it together. And it says, therefore, behold the day
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: comes when the Lord the days come, says the Lord,
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: that it shall no more be said. The Lord liveth
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: that bringeth up the children of Israel out of the
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: land of Egypt. So that was the saying for the
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: nation of Israel. When they were very young. They knew
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: God as their deliverer. God brought them out of Egypt,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: and they parted God part of the Red Sea for
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Moses and his people. And of course we understand that story.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: So now He's gonna unleash a whole new chapter for them.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: In his next verse, it says, but the Lord liveth
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: that brought up the children of Israel from the land
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: of the north and from all the lands, whether he
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: has driven them, and I will bring them again unto
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: their land that I gave unto their fathers. So now
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: this is a sign of restoration. Now he will be
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: known as the God that will gather them back into
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: their land. And we saw this back in nineteen forty
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: eight where Israel became a nation again. They were declared
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: a nation, and you saw the hearts of the Jewish people.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: They all desired to go back to their homeland. Now,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: the amazing thing about the nation of Israel, they are
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: the only nation that was scattered throughout the world world
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: and they kept their natural identity, their national identity. They
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: were able to keep their culture. They are able to
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: understand and know where they come from and who they are.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: They're connected to the nation of Israel. And as a
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: black man living in America, Las Vegas, Nevada, and of
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: course we have a history of slavery in this country.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: You know, I got different views about that than the
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: average person. But we'll talk about that in a different note.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: So as this has happened to us as a nation,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: they brought us out of Africa, and I believe it
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: was northern Africa. They have historical castles and different landmarks
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: in Africa that tells us the story, that tells us
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: the history of what had took place. And I say
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: that I don't know my heritage, I don't know where
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: I'm from, I don't know my native language, I don't
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: know the books we've had, I don't know our culture.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Everything has been totally erased. And so I grew up
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: as the only culture that I know of is the
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: United States of America. Now I don't speak this out
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: of bitterness. I don't speak this out of anything else.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: You know, God allowed it to happen, and I believe
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: he allowed it to happen for a reason. But also
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: I understand that there's a lot of witchcraft and there's
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: a lot of wickedness in that continent. So I'm not
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: saying that I want to know the culture of where
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: I'm from. It could be something that could have been
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: very demonic. But I'm happy to know Christ, and I'm
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: happy to serve God in the United States of America
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: in a place where at least I know I have
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: the freedom to serve and worship Him. Amen. But for
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: the nation of Israel, they kept their language, they kept
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: their culture, and so he was known as the God
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: that brought them back to their lands, a man that
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: he had promised and gave to their fathers. Verse sixteen. Behold,
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: I will send for many fishers, says the Lord, and
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: they shall fish them. And after will I send for
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: and from every hill, and out of the holes of
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: every rock. So you know, remember that the verse he
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: will leave the ninety nine to go say the one Well,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: He is sending to restore his people. See, the God's
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: anger is not forever. If we call, if we repent
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: and call for his mercy and his grace, God will
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: restore us. He will restore our nation. For mine eyes
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: are upon all their ways. They are not hid from
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: my face. Neither is their iniquity hid from my eyes. Now,
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: this is one thing about God that we really need
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: to understand it. We really need to see this because
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: a lot of people, the reason why they sin and
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: they live a life of sin is because there is
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: no fear of God before their eyes. The enemy has
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: blinded humanity from this part of God, from understanding it.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: He wants to teach greasy grace like okay, the grace
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: of God will enable you to live a life of
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: sin and things like that, like oh yeah, you could
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: sin and then God will forgive you right after. Well,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: that's playing rush you relet right. The worst thing that
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: we want to do is deceive ourselves, and it's so
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: easy to do. But we have to realize that God
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: sees everything. His eyes are everywhere. He sees us in secret,
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: he sees us behind the closed doors, He sees what
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: we look on when we watch TV. He sees what
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: we're looking at when we're on the internet, on the computer,
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: on our phones. He knows the private thoughts of our hearts.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: He sees it. It's like a big display in heaven.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: It's like a drive in movie screen when we get
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: to heaven. And so our part is to keep our
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: hearts clean. If we keep our hearts clean, then the
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: rest of our lives will follow.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Keep that heart clean, keep your thoughts clean, Amen, and
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: then it will be better for us, easier for us
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: to live this life God desires. Once we understand that
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: that His eyes are everywhere Verse eighteen. And first I
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: will recompense their iniquity and their sin double because they
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: have defied my land. So there's a consequences. And that's
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: the first thing he has to do is deal with it.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: He's a righteous judge, and he says it. They have
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: to be dealt with double because they defied His land. Right,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: we don't want to defile God's land. They have filled
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: my inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable things.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: While detestable and abominable, look at how God is describing
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: these people in their land, their conditions, their spiritual condition. Now,
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: at this point, they were worshiping idols, and there was
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: a baal worship or bell worship that the other nations
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: around them would worship this basically demon right, this false God.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: And let's let's read a little further, cause we're gonna
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: see we're gonna take a peek in some of their practices.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Right verse nineteen, Oh Lord, my strength and my fortress.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Now this is Jeremiah crying out to him and my
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: refuge in the day of affliction. The gentiles shall come
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: surely your fathers have inherited lies, vanity and things wherein
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: there is no profit. Now, this is Jeremiah crying out. Now,
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: let's break it down, right, he knew God to be
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: his refuge in his strength because Jeremiah suffered so much persecution,
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: and I know God to be my defender. I have
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: been attacked on so many areas, but I'm still here,
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: and I cry out for the Lord to fight my battles. Amen.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Now he talks about the gentiles here, the gentiles shall
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: come unto the from the ends of the earth. So
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: he's the God of all nations and they shall say,
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: surely your fathers have inherited lies vanity in the things
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: wherein there is no profit. Now they see the destruction
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: that God is gonna place on the nation of Israel,
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: and they're gonna say, like, wow, you know what I mean, Like,
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: why would you serve a god like this? Like what's
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: going on? Is there any profit in this verse twenty
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Shelley Man make gods into himself and they are no gods.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Now this is a good question. Therefore, behold, I will this,
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: I will this once cause them to know. I will
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: cause them to know mine hand and my might, and
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: they shall know that my name is the Lord. Amen, hallelujah.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: All right, selet's break this down a little further. Here.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: You see, God is gonna first fully repay Judah for
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: their idolatry, because they had polluted God's land with detestable
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: and abominable things, their idols and their pagan practices is
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: what he's referring to. Before for restoration could come to place,
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Judgment had to first he had to first clean the house. Right,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: God had seen all their ways, and none of their
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: sins were hidden from him, and so one of the
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: ways that they would worship ball by worship is they
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: would create a statue. How the statue would have its
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: hands extended out with the fingers pointed up right, and
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: then they would make this thing glowing hot, glowing hot
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: like red. They would put this thing on fire, and
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: then they would sacrifice their little babies to this pagan god.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: And that was Now you see why God was crying
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: out against this nation. And does that sound like abortion
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: to you? Look at how we're sacrificing our children to
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: these guys, just like they did back in the ancient days.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Whether whether it's for convenience or we're trying to escape
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: the consequences of our sins. However it goes down, this
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: is a deplorable and a detestable practice in the eyes
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: of God. After that, there is a remarkable prophecy. Though
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: even though they failed this far, there is still hope
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: of redemption. Now the gentiles shall come into thee from
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: the ends of the earth. Now this prophecy is the
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: fact that gentiles are turning to the true and real God.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: The nations will eventually realize that their ancestors passed down
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: false religions and worthless idols, but previous generations trusted was
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: a lie and had no saving power. Now even Paul
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: later refers to the Old Testament prophecies concerning the salvation
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: of the Gentiles, and you look in the Book of
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Rome Roman. Now that's an answer prayer. That is good news. Amen.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Now we could break it down like this, right, jud
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: just sin in verse eighteen, will be judged. Verse nineteen,
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Jeremiah trust God despite the judgment. Now nineteen through twenty,
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: the nations of the world eventually reject idols. Hallelujah. Now
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: that encourages my heart. Amen. Verse twenty one, God reveals
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: his power to all peop people. And then people learn
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: that Jeremiah alone, I mean not Jeremiah, but Jehovah alone,
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: is the one true and living God. Now these verses
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: look beyond Jeremiah's immediate situation. Judah was being punished for idolatry,
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: but God was not finished with his purposes of that nation.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: The same God who judges sin also intends to reveal
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: himself to the whole world, the Gentiles, confessing that he
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: is God. Now everything our fathers worshiped, apart from the
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Lord was empty. That makes this passage both a warning
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: and a promise. The warning that God will not ignore sin.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: The promise is that one day people from every nation
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: will recognize that the Lord alone is God. Hallelujah. Now
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: we're moving from God's justice on Judah to God's future
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: revelation of himself to the gentiles. They shall know my
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: name is Jehovah Man, and I can't wait for that day. Well,
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: I gladly buy my knee now, and I exalt the
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: name of Jesus. Hallelujah. All right, let's take a break.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: You are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: is the hiss Hop radio show.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: I could be so afraid, I could.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Be had in my feelings.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: I could give up the game and never let up
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: showing me helding. I could run, try run away. There's
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: a race loves Company.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Or I could take a chance on Yeah, it was
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: so evident. Did not
