The people of Judah were married to the Lord, but
they had turned to the Devil instead. They were steeped in idolatry
but God was willing to take them back if they repented. God had
divorced Himself from the northern kingdom when He allowed them to
be conquered and carried away into captivity, but her treacherous
sister (Judah) had no fear of God and continued whoring while she
pretended to repent. God told Jeremiah about a restoration that
would take place sometime in the future when the ten northern tribes
will be reunited with Judah and Benjamin. Jerusalem would be
restored and become the capitol of God and all the nations of the
world will worship there. Jesus is coming back some day to set up His kingdom,
but in the meantime, people are dying and ending up in hell simply
because they were not born again. Hundreds of millions of Israelites
chose poorly and died in their sins; they are now awaiting a
shameful resurrection at the Great White Throne Judgment along with
anyone else who rejected God. When will the Christian church wake up
and make the Gospel a priority? What a shame that so many people
have perished! |
