Jeremiah the Prophet, called the Weeping Prophet, and by that description, we can conclude that the Lord himself was in
a weeping, yet Angry state of being.
We do know the Lord when he came, he walked into the Temple and there he found that those that were call out of all nations,
or we would assume that those there at that time was called by the lord, yet we find that the Lord got very angry there in
the temple.
The reason that he got angry was that they, or those there had allowed themselves to become the servants of Satan, and
had taken the Law for their own purpose and had used the Law to gain for themselves, not only great Wealth, they had set themselves
up in the highest seats of the Temple.
The Prophet Jeremiah had foreseen the coming of this, along with Isaiah and Daniel, the time would come that the Lord would
have to deal with the situation that was present at that time.
God has always wanted his chosen people to accomplish his will, and what exactly his will is, many have different Ideals
about what the will of God consist of.
We all like to think that the Lord is a God of Love and that he would not think of getting angry at us.
The trouble with this is, that even when God is showing his love toward the World, he still reserves the right to Judgment,
and will impose Judgment upon those that disobey his Voice.
You might say and surely it looks as though Jeremiah is that of a weeping Prophet, and also the reason of the weeping is...
“ he is showed what will happen when God gets angry and turns his judgment upon his creation.
We all talk and rest in the Grace of God, yet I must say, or warn you, that God’s Grace is and can become our worst
enemy, that is, when we take it and use it to cover our ideals of disobedience and say that God will not correct us for our
sins of disobedience.
The Jewish Nation found this to be a real conclusion, yet after the things that God did, both Good, and with Chastisement,
we can clearly see that after the Chastisement, or Judgment upon the Israelites, they would call for mercy, God would grant
it to that Nation, yet they soon forgot that kindness from the Lord, and would return to their own ways and sin even in greater
proportions.
There are those today who place the sign of the Ten Commandants in their front yard, they will post these commandants there
for the reason of the Comfort that it brings them, they are like those in the days of Jeremiah, they would say...”The
Temple, The Temple.. Jeremiah 7:4 (KJV) Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord,
The temple of the Lord, are these.
It is one thing to display the Commandants, yet not doing the greatest of all commandants, and that is what Jesus referred
to...
Matthew 22:36-40 (KJV) Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
[37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind.
[38] This is the first and great commandment. [39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Here we have Three Things that must be Don first, which is to love the Lord with all thy... Heart, All thy Soul, and with
all thy Mind.
When we do this, or come to the place that we can do all these things, the other one will be no problem, that is to love...”Thy
Neighbour as Thyself.
This is where the Children of Israel failed miserably, and we today fail miserably in this.
What Jeremiah was seeing, was, those that failed to Love God with all their heart, soul and mind, and there fore could
not love, or have compassion on their fellowman, or their Neighbor.
You and I can feel comfort in knowing that we have the Ten Commandants, yet if we fail to love God with all our Heart,
soul, and mind, then we will not Love our Neighbor, we will only love ourselves, this is the State of those that is the Israel
of Above, or that claims to be the Israel of Above.
