¹ The wordes of Ieremiah the sonne of Hilkiah, of the Priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Beniamin:

² To whom the word of the Lord came in the dayes of Iosiah the sonne of Amon king of Iudah, in the thirteenth yeere of his reigne.

³ It came also in the dayes of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah king of Iudah, vnto the ende of the eleuenth yeere of Zedekiah the sonne of Iosiah king of Iudah, vnto the carrying away of Ierusalem captiue in the fift moneth.

⁴ Then the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,

⁵ Before I formed thee in the bellie, I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the wombe, I sanctified thee, and I ordeined thee a Prophet vnto the nations.

⁶ Then said I, Ah Lord God, behold, I cannot speake, for I am a childe.

⁷ ¶ But the Lord sayd vnto me, Say not, I am a childe: for thou shalt goe to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoeuer I command thee, thou shalt speake.

⁸ Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliuer thee, sayth the Lord.

⁹ Then the Lord put foorth his hand, and touched my mouth, and the Lord said vnto me, Behold, I haue put my words in thy mouth.

¹⁰ See, I haue this day set thee ouer the nations, and ouer the kingdomes, to roote out, and to pull downe, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build and to plant.

¹¹ ¶ Moreouer, the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying; Ieremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rodde of an almond tree.

¹² Then said the Lord vnto me, Thou hast well seene: for I will hasten my word to performe it.

¹³ And the worde of the Lord came vnto mee the second time, saying; What seest thou? And I said; I see a seething pot, and the face thereof was towards the North.

¹⁴ Then the Lord said vnto me; Out of the North an euill shal breake foorth vpon all the inhabitants of the land.

¹⁵ For loe, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the North, saith the Lord, and they shall come, and they shall set euery one his throne at the entring of the gates of Ierusalem, and against all the walles thereof round about, & against all the cities of Iudah.

¹⁶ And I will vtter my iudgements against them touching all their wickednesse, who haue forsaken me, and haue burnt incense vnto other gods, and worshipped the workes of their owne hands.

¹⁷ ¶ Thou therefore gird vp thy loynes, and arise and speake vnto them all that I commaund thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.

¹⁸ For behold, I haue made thee this day a defenced citie, and an yron pillar, and brasen walles against the whole land, against the kings of Iudah, against the princes thereof, against the Priests thereof, and against the people of the land.

¹⁹ And they shall fight against thee, but they shall not preuaile against thee: for I am with thee, sayth the Lord, to deliuer thee.

It is certain that bible prophecys are being fulfilled...it's the LORD who does it, as it is said that the "earth is reserved for fire" in the end of days...turn from your wicked ways and follow God's commands i.e the PASSOVER...It is the only way of salvation....

Jeremiah was called a weeping prophet; sadden to see God's people fall for the lack of knowledge Hosea 4:6! If my people will turn from doing evil and put away all matters of Evil; God will save them.It is a blessing to know that God already no who you are before you are even formed in the belly of the womb!some to be sanctified and ordained as prophet;but all to be servents of the Most High GoD!He gives to us all a free will to love him.IF YOU LOVE ME KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.Jeremiah had a great task ahead of him he had to vr10- to root out, pull down, and destroy, throw down, to build, and to plant. Wow! How many of us are called for a Great work as this? or even be willing to go foward to do a work as God himself is calling us to do. We all are messengers of God; let's get the work done and wait for the latter rain to fall upon us. My soul longs for the comming of Christ Jesus. Amen

God knew us all when we shouted for joy when He created the earth in Isaiah 45:18,Proverbs 8:31,Job38:7 -2nd Peter 3 and many translated "Foundations" of the meaning is katabole in the New Testament which was an attempted overthrow by Lucifer and instead of God destroying a third of His children that follow satan the dragon Our God decided to destroy that earth age and sunk the earth in water and we were replenish in the flesh. We were all pretty stupit and even thoe we had lived millions of years we didn't know what Family really was or meant.
Jeremiah launched forth and as we see to all the Nations, in other words a Prophet to the world until the fig tree generation,the last one, jeremiah must of been a pretty good person in the first earth age because God ordained him when he was in his mothers womb. In this writting that lasted 40 years he is 21 years old at the start and this Book is written to the House of Judah. We see God speaks of the 10 tribes that had been taken captive 200 years before and at this time they had already scattered over the mountains. In this writting God is talking History at the time and when speaking of the House of Isreal He is speaking future. So what I see is when I was reading chapter 8 and its speaking of antichrist coming from the north that the preachers that were supposed to warn us were playing church and the people coming out are saying, my temple,my temple, my temple says this and my church says that and the people never read the Word of God to know what He says so they can receive blessing. I notice that God sees these as houses or churches that don't teach the full word of God so that the people know the full truth of the Book that these one verse charlie churches are dung. I`ll have to read on but I think verse 7:23 is something we should think hard on. Study the word and don't trust any man in a building with your life.
