1
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:07,680
Jeremiah chapter 40. 
Jeremiah remains in Judah. 

2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,760
The word that came to Jeremiah 
from the Lord after Nebu Zardon,

3
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,079
the captain of the guard, had 
let him go from Rama when he 

4
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,800
took him bound in chains along 
with all the captives of 

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,680
Jerusalem and Judah who were 
being exiled to Babylon. 

6
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:25,320
The captain of the guard took 
Jeremiah and said to him, The 

7
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,440
Lord your God, pronounce this 
disaster against this place. 

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,240
The Lord has brought it about 
and has done as he said, because

9
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,920
you sinned against the Lord and 
did not obey his voice. 

10
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,440
This thing has come upon you. 
Now behold, I release you today 

11
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,200
from the chains on your hands. 
If it seems good to you to come 

12
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,720
with me to Babylon, come, and I 
will look after you well. 

13
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:50,280
But if it seems wrong to you to 
come with me to Babylon, do not 

14
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,520
come. 
See, the whole land is before 

15
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,640
you. 
Go wherever you think it good 

16
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,760
and right to go. 
If you remain, then return to 

17
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,880
get Elia, the son of a Hikem, 
son of Shaphan, whom the king of

18
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,080
Babylon appointed governor of 
the cities of Judah, and dwell 

19
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,040
with him among the people. 
Or go wherever you think it 

20
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,400
right to go. 
So the captain of the guard gave

21
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,480
him an allowance of food and a 
present, and let him go. 

22
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,440
Then Jeremiah went to get Eliah 
the son of a Hikim at Mizpah, 

23
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,080
and lived with him among the 
people who were left in the 

24
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,200
land. 
When all the captains of the 

25
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,600
forces in the open country and 
their men heard that the king of

26
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,000
Babylon had appointed Gedelia, 
the son of a Hikem governor in 

27
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,520
the land, and had committed to 
him men, women, and children, 

28
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,920
those of the poorest of the land
who had not been taken into 

29
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,200
exile to Babylon, they went to 
get a lie at Mizpah. 

30
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,800
Ishmael the son of Nethaniah. 
Johannan, the son of Korea. 

31
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:49,440
Soraya the son of Tanhumith, the
sons of FA, then Atopathite, 

32
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,920
Jezaniah the son of the 
Mockathite, they and their men, 

33
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,320
Getalaya the son of a Hikim son 
of Chiffon, swore to them and 

34
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,920
their men, saying, Do not be 
afraid to serve the Chaldeans. 

35
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,480
Dwell in the land and serve the 
king of Babylon, and it shall be

36
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,360
well with you. 
As for me, I will dwell at 

37
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,680
Mizpah to represent you before 
the Chaldeans who will come to 

38
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,320
us. 
But As for you, gather wine and 

39
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,600
summer fruits and oil, and store
them in your vessels, and dwell 

40
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,360
in your cities that you have 
taken. 

41
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,480
Likewise, when all the Judeans 
who were in Moab and among the 

42
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,720
Ammonites and in Edom and other 
lands heard that the king of 

43
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,960
Babylon had left a remnant in 
Judah and had appointed get 

44
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,080
Eliah the son of a Hikem son of 
Chiffon, as governor over them. 

45
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,360
Then all the Judeans returned 
from all the places to which 

46
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,360
they had been driven and came to
the land of Judah to get Alya at

47
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,640
Mizpah, and they gathered wine 
and summer fruits in great 

48
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:50,040
abundance. 
Now Johanna and the son of Korea

49
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,480
and all the leaders of the 
forces in the open country came 

50
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,640
to get Alya at Mizpah and said 
to him, Do you know the 

51
00:02:57,640 --> 00:03:01,160
Bailless, The king of the 
Ammonites, has sent Ishmael the 

52
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,400
son of Nathanaya to take your 
life? 

53
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,440
But get Elia the son of a Haiken
would not believe them. 

54
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:11,120
Then Johanan the son of Korea, 
spoke secretly to get Elia at 

55
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,880
Mizpah. 
Please let me go and strike down

56
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,880
Ishmael the son of Nathanaya, 
and no one will know it. 

57
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,280
Why should he take your life? 
Said all the Judeans who are 

58
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,320
gathered about you would be 
scattered and the remnant of 

59
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,360
Judah would perish. 
But get Elia the son of a 

60
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,440
Haiken, said to Johanan the son 
of Korea, You shall not do this 

61
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:37,680
thing, for you are speaking 
falsely of Ishmael Jeremiah 

62
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:43,320
chapter 41 Getaliah murdered in 
the seventh month. 

63
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,640
Ishmael, the son of Nathaniah, 
king of Elishama of the royal 

64
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,080
family, one of the chief 
officers of the king, came with 

65
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,640
10 men to Getaliah, the son of a
Hikim at Mizpah, and they ate 

66
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,720
bread together there. 
At Mizpah, Ishmael the son of 

67
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,200
Nathanaya and the 10 men with 
him rose up and struck down 

68
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,200
Getelaya, the son of a Hikim son
of Shafan, with a sword and 

69
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,240
killed him, whom the king of 
Babylon had appointed governor 

70
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,440
in the land. 
Ishmael also struck down all the

71
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,079
Judeans who were with Getelaya 
at Mizpah and the Chaldean 

72
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:19,600
soldiers who happened to be 
there on the day after the 

73
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,240
murder of Get Alya. 
Before anyone knew of it, 80 men

74
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,640
arrived from Shechem and Shiloh 
and Samaria with their beard 

75
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,240
shaved and their clothes torn 
and their bodies gashed, 

76
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,800
bringing grain offerings and 
incense to present at the temple

77
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,000
of the Lord in Ishmael. 
The son of Nathanaya came out 

78
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000
from Mizpah to meet them, 
weeping as he came. 

79
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,960
As he met them, he said to them,
Come in to get Alya, the son of 

80
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,320
a hikem. 
When they came into the city, 

81
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,760
Ishmael the son of Nathanaya and
the men with him slaughtered 

82
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,600
them and cast them into a 
cistern. 

83
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,840
But there were ten men among 
them who said to Ishmael, Do not

84
00:04:56,840 --> 00:05:00,760
put us to death, for we have 
stores of wheat, barley, oil and

85
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,080
honey hidden in the fields. 
So he refrained and did not put 

86
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,120
them to death with their 
companions. 

87
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,560
Now the cistern into which 
Ishmael had thrown all the 

88
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,120
bodies of the men whom he had 
struck down along with Getalaya,

89
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:17,240
was the large cistern that King 
Isaiah had made for defense 

90
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,320
against Baisha, king of Israel. 
Ishmael, the son of Nathanaya, 

91
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,320
filled it with the slain. 
Then Ishmael took captive all 

92
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,520
the rest of the people who were 
in Mizpah, the King's daughters,

93
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,440
and all the people who were left
of Mizpah, whom Nebu Zaridan, 

94
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,800
the captain of the guard, had 
committed to Getalaya the son of

95
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,920
a Hikem, Ishmael the son of 
Nepheniah, king of Israel. 

96
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:42,960
Ishmael the son of Nepheniah 
took them captive and set out to

97
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,600
crossover to the Ammonites. 
But when Johannan the son of 

98
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,000
Korea, and all the leaders of 
the forces with him heard of all

99
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,560
the evil that Ishmael the son of
Nepheniah had done, they took 

100
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,480
all their men and went to fight 
against Ishmael the son of 

101
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,120
Nepheniah. 
They came upon him at the great 

102
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,080
pool that is in Gibeon. 
And when all the people who are 

103
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,720
with Ishmael saw Johannan the 
son of Korea, and all the 

104
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,480
leaders of the forces with him, 
they rejoiced. 

105
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:12,080
So all the people whom Ishmael 
had carried away captive from 

106
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,240
Mizpah turned around and came 
back and went to Johanan the son

107
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,440
of Korea. 
But Ishmael the son of 

108
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,600
Nathanaya, escaped from Johanan 
with eight men and went to the 

109
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,040
Ammonites. 
Then Johanan the son of Korea 

110
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,600
and all the leaders of the 
forces with him, took from 

111
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,880
Mizpah all the rest of the 
people whom he had recovered 

112
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,920
from Ishmael the son of 
Nathanaya, after he had struck 

113
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,320
down Getalaya the son of Ahaikum
soldiers, women, children and 

114
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,280
eunuchs whom Johanan brought 
back from Gibeon. 

115
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,360
And they went and stayed at 
Kiruth Kim Ham near Bethlehem, 

116
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,400
intending to go to Egypt because
of the Chaldeans, for they were 

117
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,800
afraid of them because Ishmael 
the son of Nathaniah had struck 

118
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,920
down. 
Get Eliah the son of Ahikim, 

119
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,880
whom the king of Babylon had 
made governor over the land. 

120
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:06,560
Jeremiah chapter 42 warning 
against going to Egypt. 

121
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,800
Then all the commanders of the 
forces, and Johanan the son of 

122
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,320
Korea, and Jezaniah the son of 
Hoshea, and all the people from 

123
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,600
the least to the greatest came 
near and said to Jeremiah the 

124
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,840
prophet, Let our plea for mercy 
come before you and pray to the 

125
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,480
Lord your God for us, for all 
this remnant, because we are 

126
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,440
left with but a few as your eyes
see us, that the Lord your God 

127
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,960
may show us the way we should go
and the thing that we should do.

128
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,320
Jeremiah the prophet said to 
them, I have heard you, Behold, 

129
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,440
I will pray to the Lord your God
according to your request, and 

130
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,600
whatever the Lord answers you, I
will tell you, I will keep 

131
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,320
nothing back from you. 
Then they said to Jeremiah, May 

132
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,320
the Lord be a true and faithful 
witness against us, if we do not

133
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,480
act according to all the word 
with which the Lord your God 

134
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,840
sends you to us, whether it is 
good or bad, we will obey the 

135
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,680
voice of the Lord our God, to 
whom we are sending you, that it

136
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,760
may be well with us when we obey
the voice of the Lord our God. 

137
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,680
At the end of 10 days the word 
of the Lord came to Jeremiah. 

138
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,840
Then he summoned Johanan the son
of Korea, and all the commanders

139
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,760
of the forces who were with him,
and all the people from the 

140
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,080
least to the greatest, and said 
to them. 

141
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,360
Thus says the Lord, the God of 
Israel, to whom you sent me to 

142
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,840
present your plea for mercy 
before him. 

143
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,560
If you'll remain in this land, 
then I will build you up and not

144
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,400
pull you down. 
I will plant you and not pluck 

145
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,600
you up, for I relent of the 
disaster that I did to you. 

146
00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:41,320
Do not fear the king of Babylon 
of whom you are afraid. 

147
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:46,080
Do not fear him, declares the 
Lord, for I am with you to save 

148
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,400
you and to deliver you from his 
hand. 

149
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,480
I will grant you mercy, that he 
may have mercy on you, and let 

150
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,240
you remain in your own land. 
But if you say we will not 

151
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,760
remain in this land, disobeying 
the voice of the Lord your God 

152
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,320
and saying no, we will go to the
land of Egypt, where we shall 

153
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,920
not see war, or hear the sound 
of the trumpet, or be hungry for

154
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,920
bread, and we will dwell there. 
Then hear the word of the Lord, 

155
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,160
O remnant of Judah. 
Thus says the Lord of Hosts, the

156
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,160
God of Israel. 
If you set your faces to enter 

157
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,800
Egypt and go to live there, then
the sword that you fear shall 

158
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,200
overtake you there in the land 
of Egypt, and the famine of 

159
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,920
which you are afraid shall 
follow close after you to Egypt,

160
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,720
and there you shall die. 
All the men who set their faces 

161
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,800
to go to Egypt to live there 
shall die by the sword, by 

162
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,480
famine, and by pestilence. 
They shall have no remnant or 

163
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,320
survivor from the disaster that 
I will bring upon them. 

164
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,000
For thus says the Lord of Hosts,
the God of Israel. 

165
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,960
As my anger and my wrath were 
poured out on the inhabitants of

166
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,920
Jerusalem, so my wrath will be 
poured out on you. 

167
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,360
When you go to Egypt. 
You shall become an execration, 

168
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,560
a horror, a curse, and a taunt. 
You shall see this place no 

169
00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:01,840
more. 
The Lord has said to you, O 

170
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,240
remnant of Judah, do not go to 
Egypt for a certainty, that I 

171
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,840
have warned you this day, that 
you have gone astray at the cost

172
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,360
of your lives. 
For you sent me to the Lord your

173
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,840
God, saying, Pray for us to the 
Lord our God, and whatever the 

174
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,000
Lord our God says, declares to 
us, and we will do it. 

175
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,440
And I have this day declared it 
to you. 

176
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,480
But you have not obeyed the 
voice of the Lord your God in 

177
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,520
anything that He sent me to tell
you. 

178
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,240
Now, therefore, know for a 
certainty that you shall die by 

179
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,720
the sword, by famine, and by 
pestilence in the place where 

180
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:40,600
you desire to go live. 
First Timothy, chapter 4. 

181
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:46,760
Some will depart from the faith.
Now the Spirit expressly says 

182
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,640
that in later times some will 
depart from the faith by 

183
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,200
devoting themselves to deceitful
spirits and teachings of demons 

184
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,760
through the insincerity of liars
whose consequences are seared, 

185
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,760
who forbid marriage and require 
abstinence from foods that God 

186
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,640
created to be received with 
Thanksgiving by those who 

187
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,240
believe and know the truth. 
For everything created by God is

188
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,000
good, and nothing is to be 
rejected if it is received with 

189
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,720
Thanksgiving, for it is made 
holy by the word of God and 

190
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,640
prayer, a good servant of Christ
Jesus. 

191
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,480
If you put these things before 
the brothers, you will be a good

192
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,360
servant of Christ Jesus. 
Being trained in the words of 

193
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,640
the faith and of the good 
doctrine that you have followed 

194
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,440
have nothing to do with 
irrelevant, silly myths. 

195
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,840
Rather, train yourself for 
godliness. 

196
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,280
For while bodily training is of 
some value, godliness is of 

197
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,480
value in every way, as it holds 
promise for the present life and

198
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,000
also for the life to come. 
The saying is trustworthy and 

199
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,720
deserving of full acceptance, 
for to this end we toil and 

200
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,280
survive because we have our 
hopes set on the living God who 

201
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,880
was the Savior of all people, 
especially of those who believe,

202
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,760
command, and teach these things.
Let no one despise you for your 

203
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,360
youth, but set the believer as 
an example in speech, in 

204
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,080
conduct, in love and faith and 
purity. 

205
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,400
Until I come, devote yourself to
the public reading of Scripture,

206
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,440
to exhortation, to teaching. 
Do not neglect the gift you 

207
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,240
have, which was given you by 
prophecy when the council of 

208
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,640
elders laid their hands on you. 
Practice these things, immerse 

209
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,680
yourself in them so that all may
see your progress. 

210
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,600
Keep a close watch on yourself 
and on the teaching. 

211
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,720
Persist in this, for by doing so
you will save both yourself and 

212
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:41,480
your hearers. 
Proverbs Chapter 7, verses 21 

213
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,560
through 27. 
With much seductive speech she 

214
00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:48,640
persuades him. 
With her smooth talk she compels

215
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,120
him. 
All at once he follows her. 

216
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,480
As an ox goes to the slaughter, 
or as a stag is caught fast till

217
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,800
an arrow pierces its liver, As a
bird rushes into a snare, he 

218
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,800
does not know that it will cost 
him his life. 

219
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,920
And now, O sons, listen to me, 
and be attentive to the words of

220
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,480
my mouth. 
Let not your heart turn aside to

221
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,720
her ways. 
Do not stray into her paths, for

222
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:16,120
many a victim has lain low, and 
all her slain are a mighty 

223
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,880
throng. 
Her house is the way to Sheol, 

224
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,840
going down to the chambers of 
death.
