Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

2 Timothy 2:15 KJV

Jeremiah 25

Jer 25:1-38 
1 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 king of Babylon; 
2 The which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, 
3 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 hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened. 


For 10 years Jeremiah gave the Word of The LORD unto the people per YHVH'S task set before HIM. 
But, the people did not listen, learn, nor do that which was according to YHVH'S Word. 


Jer 25: 
4 And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear. 


And, YHVH set tasks before "
all his servants the prophets", and they did as HE instructed. But, still yet, the children refused to hear YHVH'S Truth, much less to do according to HIS Way and Word. 


Jer 25: 
5 They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever: 
6 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. 


This is a big "
IF" as we saw in Zechariah. 
"
Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever:


Zech 1:3 
3 Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. (KJV) 


And, another big "
IF". 
"
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.


This is also one of YHVH'S Ten Commandments, in fact the 1st Commandment. 


Exod 20:2-3 
2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. (KJV) 


And, it entails the 2nd Commandment, as well. 


Exod 20:4-6 
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. (KJV) 


Jer 25: 
7 Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt. 


But, the children brought about their "
own hurt" through the evil works of their own "hands". And, these evil works, and the fact that the children of Judah were tempting YHVH, did anger HIM. 


Deut 6:12-19 
12 Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. 
13 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name. 
14 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you; 
15 (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth. 
16 Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah. 
17 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee. 
18 And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, 
19 To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken. (KJV) 


Matt 4:5-7 
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 
6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. (KJV) 


Jer 25: 
8 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words, 
9 Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and 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. 


"
Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north
We looked at this word "
north" in Zechariah. 
Again, it speaks of a 'dwelling in darkness and deception'. 


This word "
and" utilized within "Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon" is not a simple conjunction, but speaks of 'unto'. 
Therefore, let us read it as such: 'Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD,  unto Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon'. 
This specific soul/spirit, Nebuchadrezzar, had the opportunity to do that which right and good in a change of heart. But, he whom Nebuchadrezzar represents today does not. For, the ultimate king of confusion is Satan and  Satan's unholy spirit. 
But, YHVH did use "
Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant" along with all who 'dwell in darkness and deception' who were brought unto Nebuchadrezzar to chastise HIS children of Judah. 
And, because YHVH used Nebuchadrezzar to bring these things about, then he would not have had a completely free will. 


Jer 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. 


What are these which FATHER shall take from HIS disobedient children of Judah? 


"
Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth
This "
mirth" speaks of feeling cheerfully welcome in a place. 
But, the voices of people cheerfully welcoming the children of Judah shall not be heard, nor spoken. 


"
and the voice of gladness
This "
voice of gladness" refers to 'rejoicing' in the religious sense. 


"
the voice of the bridegroom
This speaks of the voice of The BRIDEGROOM, The HUSBAND, The LORD, symbolically. 


"
and the voice of the bride
This speaks of the 'Church/Assembly' of those spiritually united with YAHSHUA/YHVH in faith. 


"
the sound of the millstones
Not hearing the sound of the "
millstones" grinding was prophetic  and indicative of a famine. 
Nothing to grind, therefore no sounds coming from the idle grinding apparatus. 


"
and the light of the candle
Without The Light, one is in darkness. 


Gen 1:3-5 
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. 
And the evening and the morning were the first day. (KJV) 


How does YHVH accomplish this? 
HE allowed their enemies, who had taken them into confusion, take these from them. 


This is very prophetic for this present day and the very near future. 
And, it has been coming about for a very long time...a generation of 70 years. 


YHVH'S servants, YAHSHUA'S friends, do hear HIS Voice/HIS Word. We do see HIS Light which 
shines brightly for all who know and love HIM. 
The famine for The Word does not affect those who have stored HIS Word in their minds. 


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


For 70 years, the people of Judah and their nations were made to serve the "
king of Babylon". 


The number "
seventy" speaks of 'Universality' and/or 'Israel and her Restoration'. 
But, before all twelve tribes of Israel can be restored, Judah  (and the rest of the world) must suffer that which they had brought upon themselves through their disobedience to YHVH. 

There have been certain events, which have occurred in this final generation, that we have need to consider in regard to the final "seventy years". 

 


***see the 'History' addendum*** 


We should understand also that whatever affects Judah today, also affects the other tribes of Israel and the rest of the world. 


Jer 25: 
12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations. 


"
perpetual desolations" speaks of being brought to utter destruction for all times thereafter. 
This also speaks of prophesy, that which is yet to come. 


The ultimate 'king of confusion' is Satan; and "
that nation" speaks of a certain people/tribe, specifically  those who had worked their way into Judah, pretending to be of Judah, but are Kenites. 
The "
land of the Chaldeans" speaks of where the children of Judah had been deported, and today is the land we presently call Iraq (specifically Bagdad, formerly the city of Ur). 


Ur's glory was suddenly destroyed about 1900 B. C. Foreigners stormed down from the surrounding hills and captured the reigning king, reducing the city to ruins. So complete was the destruction that the city was buried in oblivion until it was excavated centuries later by archaeologists. 
(from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary) (Copyright (C) 1986, Thomas Nelson Publishers) 


Jer 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 hath prophesied against all the nations. 
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. 


Throughout our history, we have seen these nations, and that which FATHER said would happen to them. 
There is no new thing under the sun. 
And, it is happening again. These 'nations' (peoples and their governments) are doing as FATHER has told us they would do. 
The finale of all this shall begin again when Satan's government (image) is set up in Jerusalem. And, when Satan, himself, comes, all who know not YHVH'S Word of Truth in their hearts, shall be taken completely into the confusion of the ultimate "
king of Babylon". 
But, this ultimate evil government (one world government) of this "
king of Babylon" shall be destroyed, made a "perpetual desolation", never to rise up again. 
We can see this spoken of in Revelations. 


Rev 19:20 
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. (KJV) 


The "
beast" speaks of Satan's government. The "false prophet" speaks of the disguise of Satan's most evil unholy spirit.


J
er 25: 
15 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it. 
16 And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. 
17 Then took I the cup at the LORD's hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me: 
18 To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day; 
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people; 


The king of bondage is represented by this "
king of Egypt", and all of Israel had been in that bondage for 430 years. 


Jer 25: 
20 And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod, 
21 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon, 
22 And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea, 
23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners, 
24 And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert, 
25 And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes, 
26 And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them. 


All the world shall feel the Wrath from YHVH. 
And, this wrath shall finalize in the form of Satan's government and Satan disguised as 'Jesus/King/God'. 


Rev 6:17 
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? (KJV) 


Rev 14:9-12 
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. 
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.  (KJV) 


Rev 16:1-21 
1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. 
2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. 
3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. 
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. 
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. 
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. 
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. 
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. 
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. 
10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 
11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. 
12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. 
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 
14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. 
17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. 
18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. 
19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. 
20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 
21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. (KJV) 


Jer 25: 
27 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you. 
28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink. 
29 For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts. 
30 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth. 
31 A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the LORD. 
32 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. 
33 And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground. 
34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel. 
35 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape. 
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the LORD hath spoiled their pasture. 
37 And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the LORD. 
38 He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.  (KJV)
