THE BOOK OF JEREMIAH LIFE LESSONS IN PLANS AND PURPOSES

Jeremiah 29 verse 11 - Song

Original Link INTRODUCTION Mon peuple, Mon peuple In terms of my earlier writings I told you I would pick up in Wyoming. While in Idaho Falls I ran into the Melaleuca office by divine destiny while looking for the library. Their offices were across from the library so I signed up while waiting for the library to open. I will not learn the tentacles of criminality run deep and wide. I decided I could promote their products on my travels and make some passive income forgetting that the Nazis and Mafias would have them to defraud me the first time I did this and that was why I rescinded the contract without prejudice. I said to myself everyone deserves a second chance. Lord help my Holy Ghost! The conclusion to that matter is that these people started stealing me even before I left the office. I had to rescind the contract again. I had the invoice to show how devious the people in the office at Melaleuca were, but of course one of the main jobs of the criminal network is to steal all my documentary evidence. They ended up stealing this along with my bags.Then I got an hour at the library which I had to fight for as per usual. Everywhere I go as I start tweeting the computer starts behaving poorly and one minute becomes fifteen to thirty seconds. I had to ask the Librarian why the children can have all the time they need to play games and I can’t have one peaceful hour on the computer? Since the Librarian could not give me a plausible explanation she gave me additional time. I tell you the CanadianVirus is a God sent for them. Every explanation is related to the Canadian Virus. There is a nice little artificial falls in the middle of the town from which the town gets its name. Idaho Falls is a nice little town unfortunately it does not have a Public Transportation system. This I am sure would make the town more vibrant especially with sections of the YellowStone Park. I thought the attraction being such a famous park there would be transportation coming out of my ears no matter the season or the Canadian Virus. How could I be so wrong? Everything was locked down. It seems like when I arrive in town a whole lot of money follows so the trend continues where when it is time for me to leave a town, people do all sorts of foolishness to prevent me from leaving. In this case I sat from 4:30 p.m. in the bus station. However, when the bus came at 5 o’clock there was no announcement and the bus deliberately left me. I was given another ticket and informed that the office closed at 5 p.m but reopened at 9 p.m. At 5 p.m. (People I had to run leave Union Station while I am typing someone is deleting let me leave Via Rail Section August 15, 2021) a red bearded fellow turned up and called the Police on me. It was all planned so they listened to both sides politely and then asked me to leave. Earlier in the day I had to insult one of them To cut to the chase when I returned at 10 p.m. The German said he would not be reopening the office. My ticket was for 5 a.m. in the morning. Earlier in the evening I had also tried to hitchhike a ride. I got an offer for everything else except for a ride to my destination. Eventually the bus came and I got on. The ride to Salt Lake City was uneventful. The scenery of the Rockies was very beautiful, with a lot of wide open spaces. A lot of room for expansion. The driver let me off at the Walmart closest to the Airport. I refreshed myself and then decided to get familiar with the local Public Transportation system. I ended up on the blue line train going through the city and to a terminus. I had access to the new International Airport which was just built, so I decided to explore a little.The Library was closed again but they tried to guide me to the Social Assistance office. I ignored them! Typical white man I started my business you destroyed it but you want to trap me on your welfare. I don't know why I would want to limit myself to your fixed monthly pay cheque. Age has nothing to do with anything. I excel further each day. It is a fantastic city with a lot of room for expansion. Of course it is mostly the Church of Latter Day Saints, with a fantastic university on the hill. The train goes right through the University. I have already told you about my walk from sixty fifth street. After we had to run from Salt Lake City because of the corrupt police and the system we had a brief stop for a few hours in St. George, Utah. I decided to look around the town and visit the Library. Of course this library staff was on extended thanksgiving holiday. That was the end of my tour. I returned to the Salt Lake station only to find two ne’er do well Caucasians ‘bout dem miss dem bus’ (saying they missed their bus) and they would be staying the night at the bus station. The inhouse Assistant bought them pizza. I said, ‘Oh yeah Rapleta, plans are afoot again to have you miss this bus and stay overnight to be violated. I immediately took up my bags and went outside and sat on a rock where I could see the front of the station and the arrivals and departures. Most times the reason they catch me is that I underestimate the cunningness and lack of integrity of the White man and his agents. Eventually the bus came and two of us went on, myself and another lady. The destination was Las Vegas, Nevada. Another beautiful city with Spanish style architecture and gambling everywhere most places open twenty four hours per day. In this city the Thailandese decided to attack me like they did in Utah. They messed me up at the Main Library. The second time I went there was no computer available. At the airport no one paid me any mind, there was no hassle I suppose they are used to people passing through. There was no doubt that the main industry of the city was gambling. There was a mini casino right in the middle of the airport. I felt more protected amongst the gamblers than the Christians. The Nazis and Mafias tried to get me to participate in the night life but as per usual I just ignored them. I also went on a free tour of the city . Of course when people saw how the driver and myself were interacting and sharing our experiences they ensured the tour was cut short. I saw nothing of the city. The driver took me to the broken down section of the city telling me about the Art District. I had to laugh to myself when I realized what was happening. The Nazis and Mafias always slander and vilify my person. All I do is just turn up and the people look at me and realize that they were told a lot of lies. Anyway, I had booked via Greyhound to go to Denver, Colorado. The first part of the trip was good. The second part some homosexuals poisoned my food on the bus. Denver Colorado was a very beautiful city reflecting the glory of a prosperous period in the past. Lots of challenges, people just lying in the streets. This time the Nazis and Mafias had an innovative idea where the library was concerned. They set up outside tables and had people use Chrome books. I had to laugh! I had no intention of sitting in any cold to use the computer. At the airport I had my one night honeymoon. You know because a black man is the mayor of the City you will be harassed. So said, so done! They harassed the life out of me!! All because I did not trust them and refused to sleep. I had to pray on one door stoop one night. The central station was also closed at night. One day I went into Whole Foods Market, they decided they were going to harass me over the use of the restrooms. I had to flee the city. I stuck close to downtown and the 16th Street Mall. Then I booked via Greyhound to go by Arrow express to Cheyenne, Wyoming because this was the capital city. Unfortunately, because I didn't have the services of a library my research on the state was lacking.When I arrived at Cheyenne at the Service Station on the outskirts I was told there was no Public Transportation in the city and I would have to take a taxi into the city. In the face of this information I decided that I would just go with the bus to Buffalo. The Wyoming scenery is very desolate, wide open spaces with a lot of limestone, A whole lot of shrubs and vast distances between civilizations. I was wondering why the company in Jamaica called Bengal did not put their proposal to the State of Wyoming. They had vast open spaces and a lot of limestone to dig. Lord help my Holy Ghost! That statement has already gotten me in trouble. I have been thrown into the cold continuously and denied wi-fi. Moving right along in the bus were a number of very sleazy looking fellows and it was obvious that they all had plans for me. One especially was on his telephone continuously. The way he was speaking I am sure he is into Human Trafficking since all I was seeing was a very desolate and barren countryside/landscape. I just decided to jump off the bus at Wheatland where there were two motels. I sat in a restaurant and ate some food before going to the motel. Of course the motel room was booby trapped. The people had chosen their own TV Channels, the heating, the dryer in the laundry room did not work. They also entered the room while I slept. The next day the bus driver picked me up and I returned to Denver Lord help my Holy Ghost!.. I did all these, people, because I wanted to see the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone National Park. I decided I had my fill of Wyoming so I would move on to South Dakota. I was given one long circuitous route through New Mexico. When I saw this I almost cancelled but I consoled myself to say it was just a transfer. Of course when we reached New Mexico the game changed. They wanted to cancel the bus for the day and no one wanted to say what was happening. After a whole lot of frustration I just drew my placard and went in front of the bus station and began protesting. A couple of hours after they sorted themselves out. On our way out of New Mexico we realized that the roads were blocked because a few centimetres of snow had fallen. I had to laugh and say they needed to get some advice from Canada on how to deal with snow. We ended up in Cincinnati, Ohio for another stop over then it was on to South Dakota. We will pick up here in March. The last part of my trip was very jumbled because of the transportation situation in these states and since all my documentation was stolen I have no way of putting things together but from memory. We will continue to pray that I have the mind of Christ. That mind remembers everything and is always very sharp. One point I would like to drive home is the fact that this building model where you have one major City and all the other cities are like poor cousins. I do not think this building model has worked very well. What you need are cities that are interconnected with more or less the same level of infrastructure. That to me lends itself to more lasting and sustainable development. The best places I saw this working out were in Switzerland and Germany. Africa a note to the wise. Do not follow the foolishness that has gone before, build to suit your cloth. You cannot have a highway network when people do not have the basic amenities in life. Who is going to drive on the highways? Nothing wrong with having highways do it gradually. Remember the multinationals are working in their favour not yours. You must have an idea of where you want to go and how you want to get there. I had that plan then I came to #Canada!! Lord help my Holy Ghost!! Then I am finding out what I can and cannot do as a black woman. Nobody in my little island told me these things. The devil is a liar and he has no mother-in-law. My Daddy created him. You limiting spirits back off! Moving right along before I start preaching. Canadians stop sticking me in my head with your injection needles. I was wondering what was affecting my eyes. Anyway, people, below is just a set of ad hoc incidents which we want recorded. Well people I cannot say the attempt to defile my person is really a surprise. Actions thus far have been leading up to the outright attempt. Hence the reason I have been trying to protect myself with prayer and by overdressing at all times. The events which took place in Sweden are now quite clear. The ultimate goal of the homosexual was to do just that. Daddy, I thank you that You are my God. There will never be another. This means my celibacy is bothering these people so much that they have crafted a diabolic scheme to defile me. In Sweden one of the Pakistani even went through the trouble of designing a screen saver for the computer with a picture of himself and the words Kumar and Puss. I deleted it immediately! Anyway I was very careless in Mississauga. I know I am dealing with unscrupulous people who have no conscience so I should have been more careful. I should have realized when I was sleeping so frequently that I was being gassed. I should have heeded the warning of the Spirit and stop being so comfortable in Mississauga. You see in Mississauga and Toronto Metrolinx have these GO Bus facilities which are quite comfortable washrooms, water and heat. Oh they are heaven and they are not harassing you. There is also the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) train which runs until after 2 a.m. and the night buses. Plus there is the airport, that is before the Afrikaans and Germans in Africa started harassing me. Unfortunately, this is not so in Ottawa.You have to search very hard to find facilities which are public and warm after certain hours. However, they must have facilities because their homeless colony is not very visible except for those people on Rideau Street who seem to have major issues. Anyway I should have left immediately, I was turned down for the flight to Amman, Jordan. However, hindsight is 20/20, you live and learn. I am now aware that these unscrupulous criminals Caucasians, Chinese, Pakistanis, Indians, Muslims, Nigerians, Europeans and Arabs will do anything to defile my person. I wrote this when I was leaving Toronto in the Megabus on July 18, 2021 with one white idiot reading a law book in front of me. Then there was a crooked Chinese lady whose only job was to block the internet. I paid neither of them any mind and asked the driver about the wi-fi he said there was none. I opened my notes and started organizing them and tried not to sleep. Damn parasites!! Flashback - It is now April 26 I have to be leaving Ottawa by Via Rail to Toronto to Windsor in order to see if I can get a computer to purchase across the border. I thank God for favour being harassed in the train as per usual. I tell you I cannot stop writing of my dislike and hatred for Canada. The place is unscrupulously criminal. As I was heading towards Tremblay Via Rail Station a thought came to my mind ‘Daddy I cannot deal with the sharks in the river. This river is infested with these creatures which tear people apart. Immediately, it came to me ‘Raphleta if you could not I would not have given you the assignment. Conclusion of the matter being ‘My grace is made perfect in your weakness. I just went to Costco to prove what I already knew that I was being blocked on the computer. I was also prevented from purchasing another computer. If I ordered online they wanted me to go to Montreal to pick up a computer. The criminals even wanted to introduce me to a kiosk at Costco. Downright lie!! I could never live in Canada, never or even in the USA. The moral fibre of society has been torn to shreds. Let us hear what Jeremiah has to say about the matter we pick up at Jeremiah 26. REFLECTIONS What can I say, people now that I am in the Book of Jeremiah. I am enjoying it so much I even listen to it on Audio Bible King James Version reading by Alexander Scourby. CRITICAL DEFINITIONS Book - a major division of a treatise or literary work the books of the Bible Jeremiah From the Hebrew name יִרְמְיָהוּ (Yirmiyahu) meaning "YAHWEH will exalt", from the roots רוּם (rum) meaning "to exalt" and יָה (yah) referring to the Hebrew God. This is the name of one of the major prophets of the Old Testament, the author of the Book of Jeremiah and the Book of Lamentations (supposedly). He lived to see the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem in the 6th century BC. Life Tha animate existence or period of animate existence of an individual. (how long you live for) Lessons An amount of teaching given at one time, a period of learning or teaching Plans An intention or decision about what one is going to do Purposes The reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE BOOK OF JEREMIAH III. Recurring declarations of restoration for Judah and Jerusalem Jeremiah 26-35 Chapter 26 Jeremiah Saved from Death Verses 8 - 10 Tried to kill Jeremiah 8 Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die. 9 Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the Lord. 10 When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king's house unto the house of the Lord, and sat down in the entry of the new gate of the Lord's house. Verse 15- Dare the People 15 But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the Lord hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears. Verse 23 King Jehoiakm Killed the Prophet Urijah Needlessly 23 And they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt, and brought him unto Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people. Verse 24 Jeremiah Saved by Ahikan the Son of Shaphan 24 Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death. Chapter 27 Symbol of the Bond and Yokes Verse 1 - 4 Ordered to make Bonds and Yokes 1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2 Thus saith the Lord to me; Make thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck, 3 And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers which come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah; 4 And command them to say unto their masters, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say unto your masters; Verse 5 God Advised He is the Creator 5 I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me. Verse 6 Kingdoms given to Nebuchadnezzar 6 And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him. Verse 8 Judgment on the Nation which will not Serve Nebuchadnezzar 8 And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the Lord, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand. Chapter 28 Hanniah’s Falsehood and Doom Speaking directly of the destruction of Jerusalem Verse 10 - 11 Deceitful Prophet 10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and brake it. 11 And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the Lord; Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way. Verses 12 - 14 God Himself will turn up to prevent a true Prophet from being deceived 12 Then the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the prophet, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying, 13 Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the Lord; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron. 14 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also. Verse 15 Jeremiah Denounces Hananiah 15 Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The Lord hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie. Verses 16 - 17 God kills Hananiah for Propheylying 16 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the Lord. 17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month. Will the true prophets of God please stand up!. Chapter 29 Jeremiah’s Letter to the Captives one of the most memorable Passages Verses 7 - 10 Length of Captivity 7 And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the Lord for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace. 8 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed. 9 For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the Lord. 10 For thus saith the Lord, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place. Here it is again in verse 10 about the seventy years length of captivity Verse 11 Memorable verse If anyone knows any verse in the Book of Jeremiah this is it 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Verses 12 - 14 The Persons who find the Lord 12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. 14 And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive. The foregoing passage is hardly emphasized but I think it is more important than Jeremiah 29 verse 11 because it speaks to how you get to God. Verses 18 - 19 The Destruction of the Remnant 18 And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them: 19 Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the Lord, which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith the Lord. Verses 21 - 23 God is Rough with the Prophylyers 21 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, of Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, which prophesy a lie unto you in my name; Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes; 22 And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah which are in Babylon, saying, The Lord make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire; 23 Because they have committed villany in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours' wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and am a witness, saith the Lord. Verses 24 - 32 There are no Exceptions with God 24 Thus shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying, 25 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent letters in thy name unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying, 26 The Lord hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should be officers in the house of the Lord, for every man that is mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him in prison, and in the stocks. 27 Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, which maketh himself a prophet to you? 28 For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long: build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them. 29 And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet. 30 Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying, 31 Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the Lord concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie: 32 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith the Lord; because he hath taught rebellion against the Lord. Chapter 30 Restoration of Israel and Judah Verse 8 Africans this Scripture is for Us 8 For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: Verses 16 - 17 More encouraging Words 16 Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey. 17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after. Chapter 31 The Remnant of Israel Saved Verse 3 This verse lovely Hosanna song 3 The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. I have Loved you - Hosanna Song - Kent Henry

Verse 10 - 11 Ransomed by God 10 Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock. 11 For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he. Verse 15 Future Prophecy - Mercy on Ephraim 15 Thus saith the Lord; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not. The statement fulfilled in St. Matthew 2 verse 18 18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not. Verse 17 Positive Prophecy 17 And there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come again to their own border. Verse 18 Fulfilling Prophecy 18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the Lord my God. Verse 27 Future Prosperity of Judah 27 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast. Verses 29 - 30 Everyone accountable for their own sins 29 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge. 30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge. Verse 33 A New Covenant 33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. Verses 35 - 37 Good Prayer Point 35 Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is his name: 36 If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever. 37 Thus saith the Lord; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the Lord. Chapter 32 Jeremiah Buys A Field I had a nice write up on this chapter. It has now been stolen. I have to write it over. This whole chapter is about faith in action. Jeremiah was told by God to buy a field from his cousin. He did not understand why God had asked him to buy a field since they would be going into captivity. God said yes but, you are going to return. God is all about REAL ESTATE! It is just God being God yes you are going into captivity but you shall return. Seems God understands the appreciative value of real estate. I will give you the verse when his cousin turned up, his prayer for understanding and God’s assurance. Verses 2 - 3 Jeremiah in Prison 2 For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah's house. 3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it; Verses 6 - 8 Instructions from God to Purchase Property 6 And Jeremiah said, The word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 7 Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is thine to buy it. 8 So Hanameel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the Lord, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord. Verses 16 - 25 Jeremiah Prays for Understanding 16 Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the Lord, saying, 17 Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee: 18 Thou shewest loving kindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the Lord of hosts, is his name, 19 Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings: 20 Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and hast made thee a name, as at this day; 21 And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with great terror; 22 And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey; 23 And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them: 24 Behold the mounts, they are come unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest it. 25 And thou hast said unto me, O Lord God, Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans. Verse 27 God’s Assurance of the People’s Return

Another scripture favourite from the book of Jeremiah. If you did not know it this is a good time to get caught up to speed. 27 Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? Verses 38 - 39 God’s Assurance of the People’s Return cont’d 38 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God: 39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them: Verses 43 - 44 God’s Assurance of the People’s Return cont’d 43 And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans. 44 Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and seal them, and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the Lord. Fantastic chapter Jeremiah in prison and buying property (black people what is your excuse for not having any). Daddy showing FAITH in action. Fantastic chapter! Chapter 33 Excellence of the Restored Nation Verses 1 - 3 The Prophet still in Prison 1 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying, 2 Thus saith the Lord the maker thereof, the Lord that formed it, to establish it; the Lord is his name; 3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Verse 3 another favourite scripture. I tell you I am giving you all my secrets. Love to listen to Pastor E.A.Adeboye when he is going through his paces with these scriptures. They just fly off his tongue. Note People that Jeremiah is still in prison and the Lord is still talking. God is able to speak to you in any situation. It was King David in Psalm 139 verse 8 that said even when you are in hell the Lord is there. I am reminded of the time I was in a church and a gentleman was sharing from Psalm 40. I tell you when he reached verse 2 his demeanour, his voice and everything changed in order to emphasize how deep the ‘horrible pit’ was. I am now saying to you that God is able to speak to you even in that horrible pit. I am reminded of when Sister P said ‘Di one Audley betta nuh draw mi tongue’. Since I did not want anyone pulling on my tongue and since my Daddy made the original pit for the devil and his crowd I left the meeting and never returned.We will speak to the deliverance at another time. Verses 10 - 11 The Prophetic Song - Od Yishama (There Shall Be Heard)

It was not the Hebrew version I knew but in a situation where my YouTube is constantly being manipulated. We will go with the flow. You can also learn some Hebrew in the process. 10 Thus saith the Lord; Again there shall be heard in this place, which ye say shall be desolate without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast, 11 The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the Lord of hosts: for the Lord is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the Lord. Verses 14 - 18 Messianic Promises 14 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah. 15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. 16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The Lord our righteousness. 17 For thus saith the Lord; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; 18 Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually. Verse 17 I know if you are like me most times you repeat these scriptures but you are not so sure of the reference. Thank God for Google! Now you know that God did speak to the permanence of the lineage of King David which ended with the Lord Jesus Christ! King of all kings and Lord of lords! The conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah!! Verses 20 - 22 The Permanence of God’s Covenant 20 Thus saith the Lord; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season; 21 Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers. 22 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me. Verses 25 - 26 The Permanence of God’s Covenant cont’d 25 Thus saith the Lord; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; 26 Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them. I tell you people the promises are sure and this was the Old Testament. People we are into the New Testament and the Governor is in the house with bigger and better promises.Let us use the power and authority we have in the Holy Spirit to subdue situations. Chapter 34 Zedekiah Warned By God Verse 2 God will Restore Israel 2 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire: Verses 10 - 11 Treacherous Treatment of Slaves 10 Now when all the princes, and all the people, which had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more, then they obeyed, and let them go. 11 But afterward they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids. Verses 12 - 17 Judgment of the Lord 12 Therefore the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 13 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying, 14 At the end of seven years let ye go every man his brother an Hebrew, which hath been sold unto thee; and when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear. 15 And ye were now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name: 16 But ye turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom he had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids. 17 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the Lord, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. Verse 17 good warfare scripture against treachery! I declare that even as you said in your word... Chapter 35 The Obedient Rechabites This is a fantastic story about obedience! It is about a sect of people in Israel that obeyed their forefathers instructions not to drink wine. I keep telling you to be careful of the people you have in your ears. They will cause you to disobey God. Verses 2 - 5 Jeremiah tried to get the Rechabites to Disobey 2 Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring them into the house of the Lord, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink. 3 Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites; 4 And I brought them into the house of the Lord, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door: 5 And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink ye wine. Verses 6 - 11 Rechabites Refused Jeremiah 6 But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons forever: 7 Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any: but all your days ye shall dwell in tents; that ye may live many days in the land where ye be strangers. 8 Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters; 9 Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed: 10 But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us. 11 But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians: so we dwell at Jerusalem.\ Verses 12 - 17 God Pronounces Judgment 12 Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying, 13 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith the Lord. 14 The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for unto this day they drink none, but obey their father's commandment: notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye hearkened not unto me. 15 I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me. 16 Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father, which he commanded them; but this people hath not hearkened unto me: 17 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them: because I have spoken unto them, but they have not heard; and I have called unto them, but they have not answered. CONCLUSION Well people we have made it yet again, this time around my Blog is under serious attack from all the ites Perizzites, Amorites, Moabites, Ammonites, Jebusites, Canaanites and Girgasites and they are as vile as their names suggest. It is all gloves off and stop pretending that we are nice and we wish her well. Our intentions are to destroy her in every way we can. But God, they destroy this Blog I start another, and another. and another… I really don’t know who told these people that under God’s heaven I would want anything from any of them. Let us look at the specific gems for this section. I mean this section has everything. I really think I am giving away too many of my secrets. I mean in those three thirty and four o’clock hours in the early morning when I was alone on my knees before the Lord in the living room, the television to my back. I mean when I was leading worship I had to be before the Lord for the whole week and I watched no television the Saturday night because unknown to me it was really some serious warfare. I thank God for the opportunity to hone my skills. Stay before God people! I will continue to do so because when you think you have arrived. Then you realize that there are higher heights and deeper depths in God. With this God there is no ultimate destination, only continuous growth! The scriptures which I have already highlighted Jeremiah 29 verse 11, 31 vs 3, 31 vs 29-30, 31 vs 33, 32 vs 27, 33 vs 3, 33 vs 10-11, 33 vs 16-18. Enjoy going through the scriptures with me. Until my next post. This is Raphleta, Lillene’s baby girl coming to you from Toronto, Canada. À bientôt REFERENCES The Book of Jeremiah - King James Version of the Bible
