International Sunday School Lesson Jeremiah 7:1-15 wk 08-0915 by Grover Weaver

Jeremiah 7:1-15 is one of the many conversations between Jeremiah and GOD. As background, Chp. 1 of Jeremiah v5 bears witness God knew this Old Testament prophet before he formed him in his mother’s womb. The Lord called him and sanctified him to be a prophet for the nations before he was born.

Planned Parenthood and the abort woman will have to defend this prohibition before a merciful God at the Judgement Seat of Christ, who humble plea is ‘’suffer not the little child to come unto me’’.

V2 He sent Jeremiah to a specific place in the courtyard of the temple to delivery the message recorded in chapter 2:13.

V3 the prophet identifies the God giving the edict as the ‘’God of hosts, the God of Israel’’ this was needed for many false prophets prophesied the prophecy of the fake Gods of 7th century Judah...Thus, V4 is a refrain from God to stop listening to the lies from those fake preachers... V5 restates v3 and adds the adjective ‘’thoroughly’’ meaning ‘’executed without negligence or omissions’’. STOP IT!

Might I take V6 and read it in a 21st century light and you then tell me if the two systems sound the same:..

 V7 says if the people do not do the the things in V6 God will cause the people to dwell in the Land of Canaan forever and ever. V8 the Lord knows the lying tongue is the sin which so easily entangle us.

V9,10, & 11 are questions ask in the judgement...

V12 Class, what was the wickedness of Shiloh, the place where God put his name first on earth?...

V13, 14 & 15 are about the concerted effort the Lord put forth to get Judah to act on that ‘’free will’’, the will to do, and the outcome of their failure to respond...
