Jeremiah 18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred.(original 'destroyed').in the hand of the potter.(*). So he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

Made it again is allegorical to being born again.

Jeremiah 18:6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? says the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand so are you in mine hand, O house of Israel.

Jeremiah 18:8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil.(how? and what evil was it?.Jeremiah 2:11; 5:15-29), I will repent.(means to change from:.Jeremiah 3:22-25).of the evil that I thought to do unto them.

The Creator is incredibly merciful, but it all depends on one's choice, which one of the Elohim gets to affect your life. How has your life gone so far? More into good or more into evil?

Jeremiah 18:9 And at what instant I shall speak.(or, Where shall I start speaking).concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it.

And where is it that he should start talking about?.Romans 3:23.

Jeremiah 18:10 If it.(the nation).do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice.(original is 'not listening to', 'not heeding'), then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.

Back then, the people didn't have the character to handle what the good God wanted them to have:.1Chronicles 22:13. Re 'didn't have the character':.Jeremiah 44:16,17. Even Gehazi, the assistant to the great prophet Elisha lacked the character of honesty.

Jeremiah 18:11 Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says the Lord, Behold, I frame evil against you and devise a device against you. Return you now every one from his evil way and make your ways and your doings good.

Jeremiah 18:12 And they said, There is no hope!.But we will walk after our own devices and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.

Jeremiah 18:12 And they said, There is no hope!.(they had no heart {Deuteronomy 5:29}, no desire to make a decision to change from their ways to ways of the true real Creator and 'said', by what was in their heart, 'There's no hope for us unless we devise our own ways {preferred to look to themselves and not God}, an excuse humanity uses to avoid the ways of the good God, because man's nature is such that on its own, it is anathema toward spirituality)..But we will walk after our own devices and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.(Isaiah 66:2; Jeremiah 5:23-28; 44:16,17).

They had their excuses to avoid anything to do with God. They were so out of touch with God that they invented their own ways by adopting and modifying the worship practices of the pagan nations around them and of course, that didn't go well with them way back then either:.Deuteronomy 28:14-48.

Jeremiah 18:15 Because my people has forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity and they have caused themselves to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up.(not upright).

These were the ways of their choice that seemed right to them, but were ways that did them no good:.Proverbs 14:12. And this has happened today. How to ensure it is cleaned up and stays that way.

Jeremiah 18:18 Then said they, Come and let us devise devices against Jeremiah, for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come and let us smite him with the tongue and let us not give heed to any of his words.

Jeremiah 18:18 Then said they, Come and let us devise devices against Jeremiah, for the law shall not perish from the priest.(these closed-minded.bigoted priests over the people back then, resented and resisted any change that would threaten their status quo and thus their advantage; it was the same much later in the time of Christ physically on Earth as Emmanuel and the same today and how we can be sure it's never again), nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come and let us smite him with the tongue and let us not give heed to any of his words.

Jeremiah 19:1 Thus says the Lord, Go and get a potter's Earthen bottle and take of the ancients of the people and of the ancients of the priests;

Jeremiah 19:2,3 And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate and proclaim there the words that I shall tell you, And say, Hear you the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever hears, his ears shall tingle.

Jeremiah 19:4 Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place and have burned incense in it unto other Gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah and have filled this place with the blood of innocents.(Ezekiel 16:20-23);

Jeremiah 19:5 They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind.

Jeremiah 19:6 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.

Jeremiah 19:7-9 And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies and by the hands of them that seek their lives and their carcases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven and for the beasts of the Earth. And I will make this city desolate and an hissing. Every one that passes thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof. And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies and they that seek their lives, shall straiten.(original for word 'straiten' is 'distress', 'oppress', 'press', 'straiten', 'constrain', 'bring into straits').them.

Jeremiah 19:10 Then shall you break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee,

Jeremiah 19:11 And shalt say unto them, Thus says the Lord of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again and they shall bury them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury.

Jeremiah 19:12,13 Thus will I do unto this place, saith the Lord and to the inhabitants thereof and even make this city as Tophet.(the terrible practices of Tophet). And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven and have poured out drink offerings unto other Gods.

Jeremiah 19:15 Thus said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks.(stubbornness; because they didn't want anything to do with the true God {Jeremiah 44:16,17}, they locked themselves away from awakening), that they might not hear my words.

Jeremiah 20:1,2 Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who was also chief governor in the house of the Lord, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.(Jeremiah 38:1-3). Then Pashur.(a corrupt priest who hated Jeremiah).smote Jeremiah the prophet and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the Lord..

This closed-minded.bigot figured Jeremiah was some kind of a crackpot. He was soon to find out differently.

Jeremiah 20:3 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The Lord has not called your name Pashur, but Magormissabib.

Pashur the priest, because of his hatred toward Jeremiah, was renamed by God as a prophecy of what was to happen to him. God always warns, hoping a change in heart will occur. This Pashur smote Jeremiah for what Jeremiah warned him about and even put him in the stocks for prophesying against the idolatry of Jerusalem. The name 'Magormissabib' means 'fear, terror on every side'. Those who create such are satanically influenced lackeys.

Jeremiah 20:4-6 For thus says the Lord, Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies and your eyes shall behold it and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon and he shall carry them captive.(2Chronicles 36:10).into Babylon and shall slay them with the sword. Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city and all the labours thereof and all the precious things thereof and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil them and take them and carry them to Babylon. And you, Pashur and all that dwell in your house shall go into captivity and you shall come to Babylon and there you shall die and shall be buried there, you and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied lies. 

Jeremiah 20:7 O Lord, you have deceived me and I was deceived. You are stronger than I and have prevailed. I am in derision daily, every one mocks me.

Comprised with.Barnes Notes: In the rest of the chapter we have an outbreak of Jeremiah's deep emotion, of which the first part ends in a cry of hope (verse 13) followed nevertheless by curses upon the day of his birth. Was this the result of feelings wounded by the indignities of a public scourging and a night spent in the stocks? Or was it a mental agony of knowing that his ministry had seemed to fail? He stood in front of multitudes with unbending strength, warning prince and people with unwavering constancy of the national ruin that would follow their sin of replacing the true God with the ones the wanted:.Jeremiah 44:16,17. Jeremiah stood crushed by the thought that he had labored in vain and spent his strength for nothing. It is important to notice that with this outpouring of sorrow Jeremiah's ministry virtually closed. Though he appeared again at Jerusalem toward the end of Jehoiakim's reign, yet it was no longer to say that by repentance the national ruin might be averted. During the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the die was cast and all the prophet henceforward could do, was to alleviate a punishment that was inevitable. "You have deceived me" in verse 7, refers to this young Jeremiah first having joy over acceptance of the prophetic office (Jeremiah 15:16) and to his disappointment over the result of the action God wanted him to take. Being young, he no doubt felt gung ho, expecting to save the nation he was to warn:.Jeremiah 1:18. When he said "I am in derision daily, everyone mocks me", he felt he had become a perpetual.laughingstock and was ashamed; lesson being, don't let your expectations outstrip your reality.

Jeremiah 20:8,9 For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the Lord was made a reproach unto me and a derision, daily. Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones and I was weary with forbearing.(also means).and I could not stay.

Jeremiah 20:10-12 For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Peradventure he will be enticed and we shall prevail against him and we shall take our revenge on him. But the Lord is with me as a mighty terrible one. Therefore my persecutors shall stumble and they shall not prevail. They shall be greatly ashamed, for they shall not prosper and their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten. But, O Lord of hosts, that tries the righteous and sees the reins and the heart, let me see your vengeance on them, for unto you have I opened my cause. 

Jeremiah 20:13 Sing unto the Lord, praise you the Lord, for he has delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers. 

Jeremiah 20:14-18 Cursed be the day wherein I was born. Let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed. Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto you, making him very glad. And let that man be as the cities which the Lord overthrew and repented not and let him hear the cry in the morning and the shouting at noontide. Because he slew me not from the womb or that my mother might have been my grave and her womb to be always great with me. Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?

Jeremiah 21:1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, when king Zedekiah sent unto him Pashur the son of Melchiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,

Jeremiah 21:2-7 Enquire I pray thee of the Lord for us, because Nebuchadrezzar.(another spelling for Nebuchadnezzar-II).king of Babylon makes war against us and ask if so be that the Lord will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that Nebuchadrezzar may go away from us. Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus shall you say to Zedekiah, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, wherewith you fight against the king of Babylon.(they wanted war, obviously being influenced by Satan, but God wanted peace for them:.Jeremiah 27:6-17; Romans 11:14; 2Corinthians 11:3; Proverbs 1:5; 3:5).and against the Chaldeans, which besiege you without the walls.(just outside your walls).and I will assemble them into the midst of this city. And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger and in fury great wrath. And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast. They shall die of a great pestilence. And afterward, says the Lord, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah and his servants and the people and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and into the hand of other enemies and into the hand of those that seek their life and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword. He shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.

Jeremiah 21:8 And unto this people you shall say, Thus says the Lord, Behold I set before you the way of life.(see 18:8).and the way of death.

The real true God of all light, compassion and creation does not judge us.(*).for using the ability we have of free choice. That's because. both a good choice and a choice producing bad have the automatic multiversal.law of reap/sow producing results, so hopefully one can learn from his or her choices:.Matthew 7:16-20; Hebrews 2:2; 10:35; 11:26.

Jeremiah 21:9 He that abides in this city shall die by the sword and by the famine and by the pestilence, but he that goes out and falls to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live and his life shall be unto him for a prey.(on 'prey' Jeremiah 39:17,18).

Jeremiah 21:12 O house of David, thus says the Lord; Execute judgment in the morning and deliver him that is spoiled.(original also means 'suffered violence', 'taken away by force', 'robbed', 'torn away', 'seized,' 'plundered').out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

Jeremiah 21:13 Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley and rock of the plain, says the Lord; which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?

In other words, we are so great, no one would chance coming against us.

Jeremiah 21:14 But I will punish.(original for 'punish' is 'number', meaning requite).you according to the fruit of your doings.(it's really an automatic law of the multiverse God set up that does this), says the Lord and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof and it shall devour all things round about it.

Jeremiah 22:3 Thus says the Lord, Execute judgment and righteousness and deliver.(original also 'recover').the spoiled.(original 'to have been spoiled', 'consumed'; those consumed by the oppression upon them).out of the hand of the oppressor and do no wrong and do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.

Proverbs 31:8,9.

Jeremiah 22:4 For if you do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David.(good people out for your good), riding in chariots and on horses, he and his servants and his people. 

God is good and wants good for all:.Psalms 34:19.

Jeremiah 22:5 But if you will not hear these words, I swear by myself, says the Lord, that this house shall become a desolation.

Jeremiah 22:11 For thus says the Lord touching Shallum the son of Josiah.king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father, which went forth out of this place. He shall not return thither any more.

Jeremiah 22:12 But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive and shall see this land no more.

Jeremiah 22:13 Woe unto him that builds his house by unrighteousness and his chambers by wrong, that uses his neighbour's service without wages that hand gives him not for his work.

Jeremiah 22:13 Woe unto him that builds his house by unrighteousness and his chambers by wrong.(Leviticus 19:13; Deuteronomy 24:6-15; Psalms 4:2; Micah 3:10; Habakkuk 2:6-12; James 5:4), that uses his neighbour's service without wages.(original is 'without cause', that is, figures ways to get what he wants and not be obligated to give anything in return as king Benhadad did; ok to give and not expect something back, but it's talking about an individual's {or a group of them [the cabal]} devious ways of selfishness, such as those of Jehoiakim, one of the corrupt sons of good king Josiah:.2Kings 23:35-37).and gives him not for his work.

It's talking about a fair wage for good work, not like today where one gets a pittance for hours worked and is expected to even provide more of his or her time to 'the corporation God'.

Jeremiah 22:16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him. Was not this to know me? says the Lord.

More on the poor amongst you:.John 12:8.

Jeremiah 22:17 But your eyes and your heart are not but for your covetousness and for to shed innocent blood and for oppression and for violence, to do it.

Jeremiah 44:16,17.

Jeremiah 22:21 I spoke unto you.(how God speaks to us).in your prosperity but you said, I will not hear.(*). This has been your manner from your youth.(stubborn), that you would not care at all about the good I wanted for you.

They just didn't believe the words of God. They were doing well at the time and didn't see who was instrumental regarding them having their prosperous way of living:.Romans 1:21 "Because that, when they knew God, they honored him not as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their imaginations which darkened their foolish hearts."

Jeremiah 22:24 As I live, says the Lord, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence;

Jeremiah 22:28-30 Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol? is he a vessel wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed and are cast into a land which they know not? O Earth, Earth, Earth, hear the word of the Lord. Thus saith the Lord, Write you this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days, for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David and ruling any more in Judah.

Jeremiah 23:1 Woe be unto the pastors.(Jeremiah 8:11).that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! says the Lord.

Jeremiah 23:2 Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people, You have scattered my flock and driven them away and have not visited them.(didn't care about them). Behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, says the Lord.

Jeremiah 23:3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them and will bring them again to their folds and they shall be fruitful and increase. 

Jeremiah 23:4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, says God.

God does love us.

Jeremiah 23:5 Behold the days come says the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch and a King.(Old Testament scriptures about a king coming, meaning Christ).shall reign and prosper and shall execute judgment and justice in the Earth.

Jeremiah 23:8 But The Lord lives, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country and from all countries whither I had driven them and they shall dwell in their own land.

God had driven them into captivity, in the north of where they had resided (where was this?.(Zechariah 2:6) because what good was God to them when they just didn't want God in any way involved in their lives:.Jeremiah 44:16,17. But every time they went into captivity, they then wanted the help of God. Even though they failed God time and time and time again, God never once failed them.

Jeremiah 23:11 For both prophet and priest are profane, yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, says the Lord.

Jeremiah 23:15 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood and make them drink the water of gall. For from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness.gone forth into all the land.

Jeremiah 23:16 Thus says the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you. They make you vain. They speak a vision of their own heart and not out of the mouth of the Lord

They either know not or know well but don't tell others the truth about the invisible laws, one being, reap and sow; corrupt are they:.Psalms 53:1.

Jeremiah 23:17 They say still.(continually; they're all the time saying the same lies to others).unto them that despise me, The Lord has said, You shall have peace.(Isaiah 30:10).and they say unto every one that walks after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.

Messages coming from those belonging to Satan are always lies:.John 8:44; Proverbs 14:12; Revelation 12:9.

Jeremiah 23:18 For who has stood in the counsel of the Lord and has perceived and heard his word? Who has marked his word and heard it?

Jeremiah 23:23 Am I a God at hand.(*), says the Lord and not a God afar off?

The spirit in you is both, depending if you are spiritual or of your ego.

Jeremiah 23:24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? says the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and Earth?.(*).says the Lord.

Jeremiah 23:25,26 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;

Jeremiah 23:25,26 "I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name.(false prophets), saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.(Jeremiah 14:14). How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart."

Jeremiah 23:27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.

Jeremiah 23:28 The prophet that has a dream, let him tell a dream and he that has my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? says the Lord.

Jeremiah 23:28 The prophet that has a dream.(about dreams), let him tell a dream and he that has my word, let him speak my word faithfully.(as Balaam finally learned to do:.Numbers 24:13). What is the chaff to the wheat.(don't bring your own thinking from your past experiences into the message the prophet has told you)? says the Lord.
Barnes Notes: "Has “a dream", a dream as truth. The dream is but a dream and is to be told as such, but God's word is to be spoken as certain and absolute truth. The dreams are the chaff, worthless, with nothing in them. The wheat, the pure grain after it is cleansed and winnowed is God's word. What have these two in common?.Matthew 13:24-30.

Jeremiah 23:29 Is not my word like as a fire? says God and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

Jeremiah 24:1 God showed me and behold, two baskets of figs were set before the temple of the Lord after that Nebuchadrezzar.(a different spelling of Nebuchadnezzar-II).king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem and had brought them to Babylon.

Jeremiah 24:5 Thus says the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them.(who was 'them'?).that are carried away captive.(2Chronicles 36:10).of Judah.(many, not all, of these Jews went into captivity), whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans.for their good.

Jeremiah 24:6 For I will set mine eyes upon them for good and I will bring them again to this land and I will build them and not pull them down and I will plant them and not pluck them up.

Jeremiah 24:7 And.I will.give them a heart.to know me.(can't know God without a heart toward God), that I am the Lord and they shall be my people and I will be their God, for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.

Galatians 4:6.

Jeremiah 25:1-3 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar-II king of Babylon, the which Jeremiah the prophet spoke unto all the people of Judah and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, from the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of the Lord has come unto me and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking, but you have not hearkened.

Isaiah 48:6-9.

Jeremiah 25:4 And the Lord has sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, but you have not hearkened.(*), nor inclined your ear to hear.

Jeremiah 25:5 They said, Turn you.(it's a descision toward higher consciousness).again now every one from his evil way and from the evil of your doings and dwell in the land that the Lord has given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever.

Jeremiah 25:6-8 And go not after other Gods to serve them and to worship them and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands and I will do you no hurt. Yet you have not hearkened unto me, says the Lord, that you might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt. Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts; Because you have not heard my words,

Jeremiah 25:9 Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north.(ancient Babylon was closely allied with the Chaldeans and the Medes and Persians), says the Lord and Nebuchadrezzar.(another spelling for Nebuchadnezzar-II).the king of Babylon my servant, will bring them against this land and against the inhabitants thereof and against all these nations round about and will utterly destroy them and make them an astonishment and an hissing and perpetual desolations.(desolation of long duration).

It's saying that God will use Nebuchadnezzar-II and bring his army against these people in order to.destroy them. What good are they to God if they never get on the road as to why they are here in the first place?

Jeremiah 25:10.Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones and the light of the candle.

Jeremiah 25:11 And this whole land shall be a desolation and an astonishment and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

Jeremiah 25:12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish.(on the word 'punish').the king of Babylon and his nation, says the Lord.(here it switches from the spiritual implication in chapter 24:7 and verses 5 & 6, above, to the physical; you'll see these physical/spiritual antitypical.analogies throughout the Bible, but particularly in the Old Testament), for their iniquity and the land of the Chaldeans and will make it perpetual desolations.

Seems a bit unfair, when you consider Nebuchadnezzar-II was the 'servant' of God (verse 9 above) and earlier came to comprehend the great true God after having the mind of a wild beast and his son Evil-Merodach was a kind king but, during these 70 years of captivity, the people in captivity weren't good and even got worse.

That's why people living such a way (example) that increases their low consciousness, needed captivity. It's the same reason today, people doing increasing acts (what acts?.1Timothy 6:5) from low consciousness living are making it worse for all, because of the principle of mass consciousness.

Some interspersed kings continued the slide away from God, including Nebuchadnezzar-II's grandson.Belshazzar:.Matthew Poole's Commentary:."of these seventy years Nebuchadnezzar-II reigned thirty-seven.(2Kings 25:27), Evil-Merodach his son thirty-two and Belshazzar his grandson at least two:.Daniel 8:1.".Concise Commentary:."Belshazzar desecrated the sacred.vessels of Jerusalem, was warned of God by the fingers of a man's handwriting upon the wall. He had been weighed by God and was found wanting. Though remonstrated with by Daniel he showed no signs of repentance.(repentance means to change).".

During these seventy years there were other kings interspersed here and there as well, such as the Concise Dictionary records."Nergal-sharezer:.Jeremiah 39:3,13. Two others are also named in history, Laborosoarchod and Nabonadius or Labynetus. On Nabonadius/Labynetus Col. Rawlinson in 1854 A.D. at Mugheir, the ancient Ur, found an inscription on a monument to the effect that Nabonadius associated his son Belshareser.(aka Belshazzar).with himself on the throne. Some tablets also have been discovered bearing the record of certain contracts made by Bilusarrautsur, son of the king, which is also believed to refer to Belshazzar. Nabonadius was elsewhere when Belshazzar was slain. This agrees with his saying to Daniel that if he could interpret the writing he should be the third in the kingdom. Belshazzar is called the son of Nebuchadnezzar, but this, in scripture, often means grandson and Nabonadius is supposed to have married a daughter of Nebuchadnezzar. He is said to have been a usurper and by such a marriage would have consolidated his position on the throne:.Daniel 5:1-31.".Easton's Dictionary:."Belshazzar was son of Nabonidus by Nitocris, who was the daughter of Nebuchadnezzar and the widow of Nergal-sharezer."

Jeremiah 25:13 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.

Jeremiah 25:14 For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also and I will recompense them according to their deeds and according to the works of their own hands.

Jeremiah 25:23 Dedan and Tema and Buz and all that are in the utmost corners.

Matthew Poole's Commentary: We read of a Dedan being the issue of Ham:.Genesis 10:7; Genesis 25:1-4. Tema descended from Ishmael:.Genesis 25:13-15. Buz was one of the posterity of Nahor:.Genesis 22:21. These were people mixed with the Arabians.

Jeremiah 26:3 If so be they will hearken and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings.

Jeremiah 26:4-9 And you shall say unto them, Thus says the Lord; If you will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you, to hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early and sending them, but you have not hearkened; then will I make this house like Shiloh and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the Earth. So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the Lord. 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, You'll surely die.(they didn't like his message). Why have you 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.

Jeremiah 44:16,17.

Jeremiah 26:10-16 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. Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy to die, for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears. Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying, God sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard. Therefore now amend your ways and your doings.(how?).and obey the voice of the Lord your God.(and what did His 'voice' say?.Matthew 22:36-40).and the Lord will repent him of the evil that he has pronounced against you.(there is only the one way to get the evils in our lives to go away permanently and until then, people ignorant of that way will just have to keep on patching things up as they see the negative effects they are producing, but without God in it, life is like the gopher game at the carnival). As for me, behold, I am in your hand. Do with me as seems good and meet.(fitting).unto you. But know you for certain, that if you put me to death, you shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves and upon this city and upon the inhabitants thereof, for of a truth the Lord has sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears. Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the prophets; This man is not worthy to die, for he has spoken to us in the name of God.

Jeremiah 26:17 Then rose up certain of the elders of the land and spake to all the assembly of the people, saying,

Jeremiah 26:18.Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus says the Lord of hosts; Zion shall be plowed like a field and Jerusalem shall become heaps and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.

Jeremiah 26:19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? did he not fear the Lord and besought the Lord and the Lord repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls.

Jeremiah 27:1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

Jeremiah 27:2 Thus said the Lord.(Romans 14:7-9).to me; Make yourself bonds and yokes and put them on your neck,

Jeremiah 27:3 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.(God would keep them safe in captivity).king of Judah.

Jeremiah 27:4 And command them to say unto their masters, Thus ssys the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall you say unto your masters; 

Jeremiah 27:5.(as from the original).I have made the Earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground and with my great power extended their spiritual ability by giving them an eye for straight seeing.

Jeremiah 27:5 "I have made the Earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground and with my great power extended their spiritual ability by giving them an eye for straight seeing.(a straight seeing eye is a spiritual eye, often called the 'third eye', the pineal gland)."

What eye was this? Today we call it the third eye, the one of inner seeing and knowing. Children and even animals sense both good and danger. The third eye is the pineal gland connected through your soul to the Soul of God from where comes intuition. 

No wonder Satan wants this inner eye you have, calcified by you ingesting the poison fluoride and by cutting off your intuition using the bioweapon to sever your soul's connect. Contents of these poisons and other poisons, are added by those influenced by satanic dark side ways. They are added to tap water, baby food and genetically modified and processed foods, personal care products, etc. Satan has one overall goal, the elimination of humanity, leaving the mankind others to continually be mind controlled and carry out dark side ways, until they are no longer useful, then they'll be gone too. Many and changing poisons are used in the various vaccines to sever.one's DNA (an aerial) connection to the perfect invisible spirit that you are. Fluoride also poisons the entire body:.Matthew 6:22; 7:13,14.

Satanists are out to kill you. Many people remain unawakened to this. Why?.2Corinthians 3:16. And why have we allowed the world to get to the place it is now in?

Trust that God is always out for your good, if you are good:.Romans 8:28. God is also toward good for everyone else, ultimately.(1Peter 5:10; (*):.John 3:17; 10:10. Everyone will eventually be looked after by God in a way particular to how they lived, such as....Your choice is to either do nothing, wait and pass on or learn and take action in your life now:.2Corinthians 6:2. The difference being your reward.

Jeremiah 27:6 And now have I given all these lands.(*).into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar-II the king of Babylon, my servant. The beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him.

Jeremiah 27:7 And all nations shall serve him and his son and his son's son.(which were Evil-Merodach and Nabonadius), until the very time of his land come.(Clarke's Commentary:."subjugation of the area"; about 'time of his land come':.Isaiah 13:22).and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him.

Jeremiah 25:14.

God did similarly regarding Cyrus II, the Great:.Isaiah 44:28. And later Gedaliah told similarly to the people, but they didn't believe him and killed him:.2Kings 25:25,26. Fear kills belief on the people's part and on Gedaliah's part, nonsensicalness blinded him to what was really going on; the story:.Jeremiah 40:5 to 41:18.

Jeremiah 27:8 And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve.(verse 5).the same Nebuchadnezzar-II the king of Babylon and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish.(original for word 'punish' is 'reckon with'), says the Lord, with the sword and with the famine and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

Jeremiah 27:9 Therefore hearken not you to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, You shall not serve the king of Babylon.

Jeremiah 27:9 Therefore hearken not you to your.prophets.(difference between false prophets and true prophets), nor to your diviners, nor to your.dreamers.(here speaking of one who gets information of low consciousness, that is, not of love which would work to the best of all {Romans 13:10}, but from the mass mind; but like everything, there are two sides to the dreamers question), nor to your.enchanters.(*), nor to your.sorcerers.(*), which speak unto you, saying, You shall not serve the king of Babylon.

God was working things out that they would be better off under the king of Babylon at this time, who was Nebuchadnezzer-II.

Jeremiah 27:10 For they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land and that I should drive you out and you should perish.

Jeremiah 27:11 But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, says the Lord and they shall till it and dwell therein.

"The Master will take care of the lighthouse. Let us keep the lower lights burning."....D.L. Moody.

God is good and wants good for all.(Psalms 34:19), so learn how to follow God's guidance.

Jeremiah 27:12 I spake also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him and his people and live.

Jeremiah 27:13 Why will you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine and by the pestilence, as the Lord has spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?

Clarke's Bible Commentary:."If you resist the king of Babylon, to whom I have given a commission against you, you shall be destroyed by the sword and by famine, but if you submit, you shall escape all these evils"; who controls evil? what nation can do what the Creator decides not to occur?

Jeremiah 27:14 Therefore hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, You shall not serve the king of Babylon. For they prophesy a lie unto you.(*).

Jeremiah 27:15 For I have not sent them, says the Lord, yet they prophesy a lie in my name, that I might drive you out and that you might perish, you and the prophets that prophesy unto you.

You'll all go. Be careful deciding whom you give reverence to:.Acts 17:11.

Jeremiah 27:16 Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus says the Lord; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the Lord's house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon. For they prophesy a lie unto you.

Jeremiah 27:16 Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus says the Lord; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the Lord's house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon.(or, in today's words, 'God doesn't want it to be this way; why would God ever want you to be under the yoke like a slave?; didn't God take your forefathers out of Egypt, away from Pharaoh and give you a land all for yourselves? so, let's leave this society and go up to some mountain and build a community where we can all be cozy together). For they prophesy a lie unto you.

Jeremiah 27:17 Hearken not unto them. Serve the king of Babylon and live. Wherefore should this city be laid waste?

Jeremiah 27:18 But if they be prophets and if the word of the Lord be with them, let them now make intercession to the Lord of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the Lord and in the house of the king of Judah and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.

Jeremiah 27:18 But if they be prophets.(if they are true prophets and not falsies).and if the word of the Lord be with them, let them now make intercession to the Lord of hosts.(if they are true prophets of the Lord, let them talk to me about these things which they seem so concerned about not going to Babylon), that the vessels which are left in the house of the Lord and in the house of the king of Judah and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.

It wasn't the people, it was the money in the form of these gold and silver objects being taken away that these falsies were so concerned about.

Jeremiah 27:19 For thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the pillars and concerning the sea and concerning the bases and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city,

Jeremiah 27:20 Which Nebuchadnezzar-II king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;

Why did God do this.(2Kings 24:1-5).and how bad was it?.2Kings 24:10-16; Jeremiah 16:12.

Jeremiah 27:21 Yea, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the Lord and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;

Jeremiah 27:22 They shall be carried to Babylon and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, says the Lord. Then will I bring them up and restore them to this place.

God wants us to learn from the experiences in our lives; when we do, then all changes for the better.

Jeremiah 28:7 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 you have peace.

God just didn't give them peace. He told them to pray for it. If they didn't, they wouldn't have it. People always have free choice.

Jeremiah 28:8 For thus says 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 any so-called.ideals they want to impress you with.

And just how do you do that?.Acts 17:11.

And, who may they be today? Today we call them religious leaders (not all of course are evil), politicians/justice/legal (just about all worldwide, how so?), pharma/medical/chemical et al (most) and all those who want you to accept their opinions always presented as being such things as 'safe and effective', 'good for you', 'has little to no risk', 'won't do any harm', 'will protect', 'proved safe', 'used for decades' 'doctor researched & approved') and other devious.nonsense used to infiltrate your mind and sway it to their way of thinking based mostly on greed and control)

Jeremiah 28:9 The prophet which prophesies of peace..When the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known that the Lord has truly sent him.

And even if it does come to pass, it could still be a false prophet, so how to know what to look for?.Deuteronomy 13:1-5. And today with the spirit of God in a person, he or she will have the insight to sense comfort or discomfort regarding others.

Jeremiah 28:11 And Hananiah.(a false prophet: verses 15-17 below).spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus says the Lord, Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar-II king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went on his way.

Jeremiah 28:15-17 Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The Lord has not sent you. You make this people to trust in a lie. Therefore thus says the Lord, Behold, I will cast you from off the face of the Earth. This year you shalt die, because you have taught rebellion against the Lord. So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.

Jeremiah 29:7 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 you have peace?

Jeremiah 29:7 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 you have peace.

That is, whatever era and area you many be in, there will be peace for you if you ask God (importance of asking:.Matthew 7:7-11) for it to be so. Wherever you may be, pray for these things and people such as these too..(?)

Jeremiah 29:10 For thus says the Lord, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon.(here they were 70 years in captivity to Babylon; their ancestors were in captivity in Egypt for 430 years; and there were more captivities, time and time again they occurred, as they just didn't seem to learn that the better way is the way of God).I will visit you and perform my good word toward you in causing you to return to this place.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says God, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end.(that is, the result you had been hoping for and what's that involve?).

Proverbs 13:12.

Jeremiah 29:12 Then shall you call upon me and you shall go and pray unto me and I will hearken unto you.

Jeremiah 29:13 And when you seek me you'll find me when you search for me with all your heart.

And where does one find God?

Matthew 6:33; 7:7; John 14:14; Deuteronomy 4:29; 2Chronicles 15:2.

Jeremiah 29:14 And when I'm found of you, says God, I will turn away your captivity.(captivity today to what?).and I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places whither I have driven you and I will bring you again into the place where I caused you to be carried away captive.

God is good and wants good for all:.Psalms 34:19. But God also causes hardship until you learn (learn what?) and even after you learn you get tested to see how deep you have learned.

Jeremiah 29:15 Because you have said, God has raised us up prophets in Babylon.

Or, today, 'we don't need you God, we don't need spiritual things from you, because the doctors, lawyers, philosophers, pharmaceutical companies, governments and the religionists are providing answers for us'.

Jeremiah 29:19 Because they have not hearkened to my words, says God, which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, but you would not hear, says God.

Jeremiah 29:24,25 Thus shall you also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying, This says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Because you have sent letters in your name unto all the people that are at Jerusalem and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest and to all the priests, saying,

Jeremiah 29:26 God has made you priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest.(2Chronicles 24:3), that you should be officers in the house of God. For every man that is mad and makes himself a prophet, you should put him in prison and in the stocks.

Jeremiah 30:7.Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it. It is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.

Jeremiah 30:7.Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it. It is even the time of Jacob's trouble.(Jacob's name was changed {Genesis 32:27,28} to Israel and today Israel is a spiritual Israel), but he shall be saved out of it.
