Jeremiah 15:15-21
This passage of scripture is timely for today's resurrected Israelites and those of you from the nations whom God has given the gift of faith to hear and believe. I will give a summary and meaning of each verse as we go, with some reference scriptures to help support each verse.
Jer. 15:15
This is the universal cry of all believers who are not afraid of persecution for their faith in the Most High.The wicked people, and the demonic forces that rule them, hate the children of God because of who and what they are. They are the exact opposite of everything they are. One is upright, the other is lowly, one is holy, while the other is evil. Because of this there is constant friction and war between them-there is no unity between the children of God and the children of the Devil ( Amos 3:3).
The holy people have a moral compass(the laws/word of God) that guides them to know what is right from what is wrong. The wicked believe that they are their own moral compass and whatever they feel is right or wrong is correct. They trust in the deceit of their own wicked minds (Prov. 28:26, Ps. 14:1). Therefore, in their world anything is acceptable, as long as you don't get caught or oppose someone else from living like this(Romans 1:32). A good example of this is their redefining of marriage as a union between two males or two females, verses between a male and a female as God said from the beginning. And if you appose this view, you are considered intolerable, hateful, and a law breaker. they make wickedness legal and acceptable in their world.
The wicked hate God, his standards, and fight against any who follow Him.
The wicked are in the majority now however while God's people are the minorities, whom they hated and oppressed due to their obedience to God. Because of this, the prophet Jeremiah, foreseeing the state of the people of God, prayed to God(who sees and knows all that is happening on earth) and requested God to remembers him and those like him, who through faith and courage stood up for the truth of His word. And that He would visit and avenge all the wrong that they have suffered unjustly because of their faith in Him. Furthermore, he requested of God that he would not delay his judgement too long or before he dies. This is a reasonable desire from a human perspective, as we have but so long to be here on earth before we die. And if you are a lover of justice, as all the saints of God are, you will desire to see the judgement on those that do evil and hurt in the earth (Ps. 14:7). But, God is not a man that he should be partial to any injustice(Eccl. 3:14-15, Eccl. 8:6). He has set all time and events in a set order for His divine purpose. Therefore, we can rest assured that the judgement of the wicked, though it may not come in our own lifetime, will come at the time God has intended. Also, time is actually used by God,in all His wisdom, to gather His faithful people and to grant them opportunity for repentance as they return to Him from the lies of the wicked and sin ( 2 Peter 3:9,10, Prov. 12:26).
God, according to scripture, will avenge all the wrongs done to the righteous; for vengeance belongs to Him (Romans 12:19, Matt. 18:6,7). And knowing this actually gives the saints patience and courage to endure the rebukes and attacks of the wicked( Romans 8:35-39). Yet, the wicked shall not escape the judgement of God.
Jer. 15:16
The words of God was and is made known to His people by God( Deut. 29:29, Is. 59:21). The Holy spirit of God gives his people the understanding of the word(John 14:26). The Holy Bible is the compilation of all that God has spoken on the earth to His holy people. The word is the nourishment of every cell and DNA of the saints of God- it feeds and strengthens them. And they seek out the understanding and meaning of all that is written in it by reading and study so that it may become a part of them. They eat the word or study it day and night ( Ps. 1:1-2). It empowers them daily and strengthens them from generation to generation, because it brings comfort, hope, and the wisdom to understand the times they live in (Romans 15:4, 1 Cor. 10:11, Is 33:6).
The word of God also restores our remembrance of who we are as a people. It reveals to us our true identity as the children of Israel, the people call by His name. In fact, the name Israel in Hebrew means- He is the Prince of God- we are literally called by His name.
It is a biblical prophecy and historical fact that the wicked of the nations would come and destroy the country, history, and national identity of the Hebrew Israelites people both in the old world(Jerusalem and all the middle east, Africa, and Europe), and in the Americas. This was foretold by all the prophets in the Bible, due to the sins of the people of Israel and the utter hatred of the wicked for God's people. But in the end, the prophecy states, God would come again and grant them favor and a spiritual and physical resurrection from all the lands they had been taken as captives (Deut. 30:1-10, Rom. 11:25, 1,2). And we can see this happening around the world today with the rise of the Hebrew Israelite movements in many countries as they are reclaiming their lost heritage in God and Christ. Also, there is a remnant from among the nations, according to scriptures, that will be graphed into this sheepfold of Christ, many of whom are trapped in lies and fake religions around the world, with the chief impostor religion being today's Christianity. The Christianity of today is a false identity built around tricky theology and the cunning craftiness of evil men who twist the word of God and make it into a lie( Romans 1:18,25, Matt. 24:4-5, 2 Thess. 2:8-12 ). Those of the nations trapped in these lies are also, like the lost Isrealites, lost to their true identity as fellow citizens of the commonwealth of Israel and members of the family of God . It is the true word of God only that will, in due time, reveal this truth to all humanity ( 1 Tim. 2:5-6, Is 56:6,7).
Jer. 15:17
The righteous separate themselves form the wicked and choose rather to sit alone. Because they know that it is the will of God for His people in saving them from the lies and the judgement coming( James 4:4, Rom. 8:6-7). They also understand that to be joined with the wicked is to learn their ways, which leads to a separation from God( 2 Cor. 6:14-18). And to be apart from God is to be worthy of His wrath and judgement ( Zeph. 2:1-3, Matt. 13:49-50). Furthermore, the lifestyles and decrees of the wicked are vexing to the spirit and dignity of a saint of God (2 Peter 2:6-7). He is angry with their culture and society everyday(Ps. 119:104).
Jer.15: 18
Who is the prophet talking about here?
He is talking about Israel as a people in a state of revolted against their God. They in turn bring perpetual pain upon themselves by rejecting the laws and commandments of God. The captivity and the oppression that they suffer is predicated on this one thing. It's not because of being Black, Indian, or Hispanic-why, even these names are a part of the curse: Moses said, we would become byword and a proverb. The nations would not call us by our true name, but by a fake name and a fake nationality- Black is a color not a nation or people. Our current condition and pain is directly related to our position with God. And until the day Israel comes to this understanding, they will never be healed; never escape the oppression, social degradation, and political exploitation they now experience among all the nations God has scattered them to. The despair seemed so hopeless that Jeremiah asked God if the prophecies of Israel's redemption will ever come to pass? This is because most of the Israelites, sadly, will reject this hope God has given them in His word. They, like their rebellious ancestors with Moses, will choose this world instead of the world God is promising them in His word. But, thankfully, there is a remnant that will choose God over this world, just as there was a remnant in Moses's time (Romans 11:5, John 10:26-27, Zeph. 3:13-20).
Jer 15:19
God's reply- If you, Israel, will return to God according to His word, then He will restore you to your homeland and kingdom, and your kingdom will stand before God for eternity (Lev. 26:40-45, Rev.18:4, Mark 1:14-15, Dan 7:27). And to the prophet( His stewards and shepherds He sends), He says-Take the precious, His royal priesthood and holy nation in Christ, from among the vile- the wicked, the unbelievers, and the rebellious that refuse to return(2 Tim. 2:1-2). Let the awakened Israelite prophet, God says, go and share this gospel to the lost sheep of Israel and all who are destine for life by God's divine purpose(Jer. 3:12-15, Acts 13:46-49). The lost Israelites must return to the truth taught by God's prophets and not the opposite- the prophet, following the darkness and ignorance that the people are in(Matt. 5:20, 1 John 2:15-19). This is why Peter tells the elders of the church to be examples to the flock of God and not to do like all the poverty pimps, hustlers, and lairs are doing and have done for generations; doing evil and lording it over the people. This type follow the darkness that they condemn( 1 Peter 5:3, Romans 2:1). They are not the prophets of God but of their own wicked hearts (Jer. 23:21-22,16).
Jer 15:20
God's reply- They will persecute the prophets of God, but He will strengthen all their defenses, like a wall made of brass that cannot be broken down(Matt. 10:22-23, John 15:20-21, Is. 40:31, Rev. 11:5, Ps. 18:32-37). They will be able to endure because God will be with them to the end of this world by His holy Spirit that he has given them and by the power of His Christ( Matt. 28:19-20, John 14:15-17, I John 2:27, Acts 10:42-43, Acts 5:31-32, Matt. 10:22-23).
Jer. 15:21
God's reply- God will deliver his prophets and His people from the wicked- the spiritual demon Satan and all his angels, who are men devoted to his wickedness; composed both of the nations and of the wicked Israelites that refuse to obey God and His Christ, Yahawashi of Nazareth. God will redeem His people out of the hand of the terrible, which is the fourth beast or world empire that will arise in the earth. This is the last kingdom of the nations that is called the terrible by God, because of the power and pride of his might. Daniel saw this last world power in a vision in the first beast, the kingdom of Babylon( Dan. 7:7-8). It had seven heads and ten horns. It possessed military might, technology that seemed miraculous, and a propensity for blood, devouring nation after nation and any man or woman that dare challenge it's will.
This great beast or empire started with the Roman empire, which devoured and broke the whole earth into pieces. The Romans conquered the whole Mediterranean world and beyond. They subdued nation after nation with great slaughter and political sagacity, which they call the Pax Romana: the Roman Peace. The earth became quiet before them.
This beast continued through the ages in it's birth place of Europe, going dormant for a time during the middle ages and being born again if 1492 with the rise of one of it's evil heads- Spain. Eventually all it's heads began their own journeys to dominance again- France, Britain, Germany, Russia, Italy, the Dutch and the Scandinavians all had their path to becoming world powers again since 1492.
But, the most deadly of all theses powers was the little horn that came out of Britain: America.
She too destroyed wonderfully according to the prophets, both at her birth and unto the end of days. It is She that sat upon the back of the beast, the united European nations, according to prophecy and became drunk on the blood of the holy people of God- The awaken Israelites and all from the nations that believe God according to this gospel (Rev. 17:3-6). Daniel with all the prophets saw and told of her great slaughter that is coming, saying it would be the worst time ever on earth since God created mankind ( Daniel 12:1, Deut. 32:27-29, Jer. 30:7). Christ, too foretold of these last days, saying, that if they were not cut short all humanity would die or none left. Therefore, God did cut it short to three and a half years, as stated in the book of Matthew, Revelation, and Daniel ( Matt. 24:22, Rev. 13:1,5-7, Dan. 8:23-25, Dan. 12:1). God, in the person of Yahawshi will come and invade the earth with his millions upon millions of angels in the end to fight the final beast and redeem His holy people that believed and endured with Him out of the hands of the wicked and the terrible(Jer. 30:10-11, Is. 63:1-6, Rev. 19:11-21, Acts 14:22).
I hope that this breakdown or explanations of the Holy scriptures lead you to greater understanding
of God's word and prepares you for the times to come. I hope it gives you faith and courage to endure to the end with God and Christ.
Shalam,
Zarach
