00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:07,680
Jeremiah chapter 43 Jeremiah 
taken to Egypt. 

2
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,720
When Jeremiah finished speaking 
to all the people all these 

3
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,960
words of the Lord their God, 
with which the Lord their God 

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:19,680
had sent him to them, Azariah 
the son of Hosea, and Johannan 

5
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,840
the son of Korea, and all the 
insolent men said to Jeremiah, 

6
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:27,680
You are telling a lie. 
The Lord our God did not send 

7
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,280
you to say, do not go to Egypt 
to live there. 

8
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,320
But Baruch the son of Naraya has
set you against us to deliver us

9
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,560
into the hand of the Chaldeans, 
that they may kill us or take us

10
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,200
into exile in Babylon. 
So Johanan the son of Korea and 

11
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,520
all the commanders of the forces
and all the people did not obey 

12
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,640
the voice of the Lord to remain 
in the land of Judah. 

13
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,400
But Johanan the son of Korea and
all the commanders of the 

14
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,840
forces, took all the remnant of 
Judah who had returned to live 

15
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,760
in the land of Judah, from all 
the nations to which they had 

16
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,360
been driven, the men, the women,
the children, the Princess, and 

17
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,640
every person whom Nebu Zaridan, 
the captain of the guard, had 

18
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,000
left with Ghetalaya the son of a
Hikem son of Chiffon, also 

19
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,960
Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch
the son of Naraya. 

20
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,000
And they came into the land of 
Egypt, for they did not obey the

21
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,280
voice of a Lord, and they 
arrived at Tapanese. 

22
00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:25,000
Then the word of the Lord came 
to Jeremiah in Tapanese. 

23
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,880
Take in your hands large stones 
and hide them in the mortar, in 

24
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,120
the pavement that is at the 
entrance to Pharaoh's palace in 

25
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,760
Tapanese, in the sight of the 
men of Judah, and say to them, 

26
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,800
Thus says the Lord of hosts, the
God of Israel, Behold, I will 

27
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,680
send and take Nebuchadnezzar the
king of Babylon, my servant, and

28
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,720
I will set his throne above 
these stones that I have hidden,

29
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,360
and he will spread his royal 
canopy over them. 

30
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,880
He shall come and strike the 
land of Egypt, giving over to 

31
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,960
the pestilence those who are 
doomed to the pestilence, to 

32
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,680
captivity those who are doomed 
to captivity, and to the sword 

33
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,920
those who are doomed to the 
sword. 

34
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,560
I shall kindle a fire in the 
temples of the gods of Egypt, 

35
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,280
and he shall burn them and carry
them away captive. 

36
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,000
And he shall clean the land of 
Egypt as a shepherd cleans his 

37
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,520
cloak of vermin, and he shall go
away from there in peace. 

38
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,200
He shall break the obelisks of 
Heliopolis, which is in the land

39
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,840
of Egypt, and the temples of the
gods of Egypt, and he shall burn

40
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:31,720
with fire. 
Jeremiah chapter 44 Judgment for

41
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:36,800
idolatry, The word that came to 
Jeremiah concerning all the 

42
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,960
Judeans who lived in the land of
Egypt, at Migdal, at Tapanese, 

43
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,680
at Memphis, and in the land of 
Pathros. 

44
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,680
Thus says the Lord of Hosts, the
God of Israel. 

45
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,320
You have seen all the disaster 
that I brought upon Jerusalem 

46
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,080
and upon all the cities of 
Judah. 

47
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,240
Behold, this day they are a 
desolation, and no one dwells in

48
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,120
them because of the evil that 
they committed, provoking me to 

49
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,400
anger, and that they went to 
make offerings and serve other 

50
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:08,160
gods that they knew not, neither
they nor you nor your father's. 

51
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,080
Yet I persistently sent to you 
all my servants, the prophet, 

52
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,480
saying, Oh, do not do this 
abomination that I hate. 

53
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,960
But they did not listen or 
incline their ear to turn from 

54
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,800
their evil and make no offerings
to other gods. 

55
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,280
Therefore my wrath and my anger 
were poured out and kindled in 

56
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,680
the cities of Judah and in the 
streets of Jerusalem, and they 

57
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,040
became a waste and a desolation,
as at this day. 

58
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,160
And now thus says the Lord God 
of hosts, the God of Israel. 

59
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,960
Why do you commit this great 
evil against yourselves, to cut 

60
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,960
off from you man and women, 
infant and child, from the midst

61
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,680
of Judah, leaving you no 
remnant? 

62
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,200
Why do you provoke me to anger 
with the works of your hands, 

63
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,960
making offerings to other gods 
in the land of Egypt where you 

64
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,360
have come to live, so that you 
may be cut off and become a 

65
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,080
curse and a taunt among all the 
nations of the earth? 

66
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,760
Have you forgotten the evil of 
your father's, the evil of the 

67
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,600
kings of Judah, the evil of 
their wives, your own evil, and 

68
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,880
the evil of your wives which 
they committed in the land of 

69
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,160
Judah and in the streets of 
Jerusalem? 

70
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,200
They have not humbled themselves
even to this day, nor have they 

71
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,720
feared, nor walked in My law and
my statutes that I have set 

72
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,800
before you and before your 
Father's. 

73
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,120
Therefore thus says the Lord of 
Hosts, the God of Israel, 

74
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,000
behold, I will set my face 
against you for harm to cut off 

75
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,680
all Judah. 
I will take the remnant of Judah

76
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,640
who have set their faces to come
to the land of Egypt to live, 

77
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,760
and they shall all be consumed 
in the land of Egypt. 

78
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,600
They shall fall by the sword and
by famine. 

79
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,080
They shall be consumed from the 
least to the greatest. 

80
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,600
They shall die by the sword and 
by famine, and they shall become

81
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,400
an oath, a horror, a curse, and 
a taunt. 

82
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,560
I will punish those who dwell in
the land of Egypt, as I have 

83
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,440
punished Jerusalem with the 
sword, with famine, and with 

84
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,920
pestilence. 
So that none of the remnant of 

85
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:03,720
Judah who have come to live in 
the land of Egypt shall escape 

86
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,120
or survive, or return to the 
land of Judah to which they 

87
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,720
desire to return to dwell there.
For they shall not return except

88
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,680
some fugitives. 
Then all the men who knew that 

89
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,920
their wives had made offerings 
to other gods, and all the women

90
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,680
who stood by a great assembly, 
all the people who lived in path

91
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,320
rose in the land of Egypt. 
Answered Jeremiah. 

92
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,800
As for the word that you have 
spoken to us, in the name of the

93
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,040
Lord, we will not listen to you.
We will do everything that we 

94
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,360
have vowed, make offerings to 
the Queen of Heaven and pour out

95
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:40,200
drink offerings to her, as we 
did both we and our fathers, our

96
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,800
kings and our officials in the 
cities of Judah and in the 

97
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,920
streets of Jerusalem. 
For them we had plenty of food 

98
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,360
and prospered and saw no 
disaster. 

99
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,000
But since we left off making 
offerings to the Queen of Heaven

100
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,960
and pouring out drink offerings 
to her, we have lacked 

101
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,800
everything and have been 
consumed by the sword and by 

102
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,800
famine. 
And the women said, when we made

103
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,080
offerings to the Queen of Heaven
and poured out drink offerings 

104
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,600
to her, was it without our 
husband's approval that we made 

105
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,120
cakes for her, bearing her 
image, and poured out drink 

106
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,120
offerings to her? 
Then Jeremiah said to all the 

107
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,320
people, men and women, all the 
people who had given him this 

108
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,000
answer, As for the offerings 
that you offered in the cities 

109
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,800
of Judah and in the straits of 
Jerusalem, you and your 

110
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,760
father's, your kings and your 
officials, and the people of the

111
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,160
land, did not the Lord remember 
them? 

112
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,960
Did it not come into his mind, 
the Lord could no longer bear 

113
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,920
your evil deeds and the 
abominations that you committed.

114
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,440
Therefore your land has become a
desolation and a waste and a 

115
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,560
curse without inhabitant, as it 
is this day. 

116
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,280
It is because you made offerings
and because you sinned against 

117
00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:49,240
the Lord and do not obey the 
voice of the Lord or walk in His

118
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,720
law and in His statutes and His 
testimonies that this disaster 

119
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,040
has happened to you as at this 
day. 

120
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,200
Jeremiah said to all the people 
and all the women, hear the word

121
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,360
of the Lord, all you of Judah 
who are in the land of Egypt. 

122
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,280
Thus says the Lord of hosts, the
God of Israel, you and your 

123
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:10,280
wives have declared with your 
mouths and have fulfilled it 

124
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,040
with your hands, saying, We will
surely perform our vows that we 

125
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,440
have made to make offerings to 
the queen of heaven and to pour 

126
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,560
out drink offerings to her. 
Then confirm your vows and 

127
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,200
perform your vows. 
Therefore hear the word of the 

128
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,600
Lord. 
All you of Judah, who dwell in 

129
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,560
the land of Egypt. 
Behold, I have sworn by my great

130
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,960
name, says the Lord, that my 
name shall no more be invoked by

131
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,120
the mouth of any man of Judah 
and all the land of Egypt, 

132
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,920
saying, As the Lord God lives, 
behold, I am watching over them 

133
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,640
for disaster and not for good. 
All the men of Judah who were in

134
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,560
the land of Egypt shall be 
consumed by the sword and by 

135
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,880
famine until there is an end of 
them. 

136
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,120
And those who escape the sword 
shall return from the land of 

137
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,880
Egypt to the land of Judah, few 
in number. 

138
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,520
And all the remnant of Judah who
came to the land of Egypt to 

139
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,280
live shall know whose word will 
stand. 

140
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,520
Mine are theirs. 
This shall be the sign to you, 

141
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,480
declares the Lord, that I will 
punish you in this place, in 

142
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,760
order that you may know that my 
words will surely stand against 

143
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,720
you for harm. 
Thus says the Lord, Behold, I 

144
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,080
will give Pharaoh Hofra king of 
Egypt, into the hand of his 

145
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,760
enemies and into the hand of 
those who seek his life, as I 

146
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,480
gave Zedekiah king of Judah into
the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king 

147
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,960
of Babylon, who was his enemy 
and sought his life. 

148
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:42,559
Jeremiah chapter 45 message to 
Baruch, the word that Jeremiah 

149
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,040
the prophet spoke to Baruch the 
son of Neriah, when he wrote 

150
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,320
these words in a book at the 
dictation of Jeremiah in the 

151
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,000
fourth year of Jehoiakim the son
of Josiah king of Judah. 

152
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,960
Thus says the Lord, the God of 
Israel to you, Oh Baruch, you 

153
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:02,200
said, Woe is me, for the Lord 
has added sorrow to my pain. 

154
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,320
I'm weary with my groaning, and 
I find no rest. 

155
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,520
Thus shall you say to him. 
Thus says the Lord, Behold, what

156
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,880
I have built I am breaking down,
and what I've planted I am 

157
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,520
plucking up. 
That is the whole land. 

158
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,120
And do you seek great things for
yourself? 

159
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,720
Seek them not. 
For behold, I am bringing 

160
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,400
disaster upon all flesh, 
declares the Lord. 

161
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,640
But I will give you your life as
a prize of war in all places to 

162
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:34,000
which you may go. 
First Timothy Chapter 5 

163
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:40,120
Instructions for the Church. 
Do not rebuke an older man, but 

164
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,200
encourage him as you would a 
father. 

165
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,600
Younger men as brothers, older 
women as mothers, younger women 

166
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,920
as sisters. 
In all purity, honor widows who 

167
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,160
are truly widows. 
But if a widow has children or 

168
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,160
grandchildren, let them first 
learn to show godliness to their

169
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:01,120
own household and to make some 
return to their parents, for 

170
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,200
this is pleasing in the sight of
God. 

171
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:08,160
She who was truly a widow, left 
all alone has set her hope on 

172
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,560
God and continues in 
supplications and prayers night 

173
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:15,920
and day, but she who is self 
indulgent is dead even while she

174
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,840
lives. 
Command these things as well, so

175
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,760
that they may be without 
reproach. 

176
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,120
But if anyone does not provide 
for his relatives, and 

177
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,160
especially for members of his 
household, he has denied the 

178
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,000
faith and is worse than an 
unbeliever. 

179
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,120
Let a widow be enrolled if she 
is not less than 60 years of 

180
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,520
age, having been the wife of one
husband, and having a reputation

181
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,400
for good works. 
If she has brought up children, 

182
00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:45,400
has shown hospitality, has 
washed the feet of the Saints, 

183
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,520
has cared for the afflicted, and
has devoted herself to every 

184
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,640
good work, but refused to enroll
younger widows. 

185
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,240
For when their passions draw 
them away from Christ, they 

186
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,000
desire to marry and sow incur 
condemnation for having 

187
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,840
abandoned their former faith. 
Besides that, they learn to be 

188
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,720
idlers, going about from house 
to house, and not only idlers, 

189
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,120
but also gossips and busy 
bodies, saying what they should 

190
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,520
not. 
So I would have younger widows 

191
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,800
marry, bear children, manage 
their households, and give the 

192
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,440
adversary no occasion for 
slander, for some have already 

193
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,600
strayed after Satan. 
If any believing woman has 

194
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,200
relatives who are widows, let 
her care for them. 

195
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,040
Let the church not be burdened 
so that it may care for those 

196
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,960
who are truly widows. 
Let the elders who rule well be 

197
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,240
considered worthy of double 
honor, especially those who 

198
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,320
labor in preaching and teaching.
For the Scripture says, You 

199
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,960
shall not muzzle an ox when it 
treads out the grain, and the 

200
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,720
laborer deserves his wages. 
Do not admit a charge against an

201
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,200
elder, except on the evidence of
two or three witnesses. 

202
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,240
As for those who persist in sin,
rebuke them in the presence of 

203
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,680
all, so that the rest may stand 
in fear in the presence of God 

204
00:12:00,680 --> 00:12:03,680
and of Christ Jesus, and of the 
elect angels. 

205
00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:07,160
I charge you to keep these rules
without prejudging, doing 

206
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,320
nothing from partiality. 
Do not be hasty in the laying on

207
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,240
of hands, nor take part in the 
sins of others. 

208
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,720
Keep yourself pure no longer 
drink only water, but use a 

209
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,880
little wine for the sake of your
stomach and your frequent 

210
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,160
ailments. 
The sins of some people are 

211
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,160
conspicuous, going before them 
to judgment, but the sins of 

212
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,480
others appear later. 
So also good works are 

213
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,680
conspicuous, and even those that
are not cannot remain hidden. 

214
00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:41,560
Proverbs, chapter 8, verses one 
through 11. 

215
00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:47,480
The blessings of wisdom does not
wisdom call, does not 

216
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,400
understanding raise her voice on
the heights beside the way, at 

217
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,200
the crossroads she takes her 
stand besides the gates in front

218
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,480
of the town. 
At the entrance of the portal, 

219
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:02,360
she cries aloud to you, O men, I
call, and my cry is to the 

220
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,640
children of man. 
O simple ones, learn prudence, O

221
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:11,120
fools, learn sense here. 
For I will speak noble things, 

222
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,680
and from my lips will come what 
is right. 

223
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,120
For my mouth will utter truth, 
wickedness, and is an 

224
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,400
abomination to my lips. 
All the words of my mouth are 

225
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,760
righteous. 
There is nothing twisted or 

226
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,360
crooked in them. 
They are all straight to Him who

227
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,360
understands, and write to those 
who find knowledge. 

228
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,760
Take my instruction instead of 
silver, and knowledge rather 

229
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,280
than choice. 
Gold, for wisdom is better than 

230
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,960
jewels. 
And all that you may desire 

231
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,360
cannot compare with her.
