<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: Josiah has been killed at Megiddo. Jehoahaz took throne for three months. Was evil - defeated by Pharaoh, who put Jehoiakim, Josiah's son on the throne. Things are going to get tougher as nation slides to its destruction. Jeremiah's life threatened by men of Anathoth.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. JEREMIAH QUESTIONS GOD - "Why do the ungodly prosper. Why are wicked people so happy?"</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. These questions have always troubled the righteous.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Book of Job.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. <a onClick="return mV('Psa',73,1);">Ps. 73</a> Asaph.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. To Job no answer - only a revelation of the wisdom and power of God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">4. Asaph found his answer in the sanctuary of God, and a broadened perspective.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. The ungodly seemed to be planted in power by God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Typical politicians - they referred to God in their speeches, but knew nothing of real submission to Him.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. Yet here was Jeremiah - because he was obedient to God, his life was being threatened.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. GOD'S ANSWER TO JEREMIAH - "If you have run..."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Notice difficulty of translation of latter part by italics.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Maybe solved by a word found in Septuagint - "If in the land of peace you were not secure, how will you handle..."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Some have suggested peace be translated level. Idea is then - "If you have tired running on level ground, how will you run through the marshes?"</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. However the translation, God is saying - "you haven't seen anything yet."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Things are going to get worse for Jeremiah.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. His own brothers will plot his death.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. In God's answer, there was a recognition of Jeremiah's previous service.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. He had run with the footmen.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Even though he wearied, he was still in there.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">D. In God's answer was the key for the future.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. How will you run with horses?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. How did you run with the footmen?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. God was there and He helped you, and even though you wearied, He saw you through.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. The God who helped you run with the footmen will also help you run with the horses.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">d. The God who sustained you in the relative peaceful reign of Josiah will be with you to see you through the turbulent reigns to come.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. God's provision and power for the past is an assurance of His provision for future.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. God never puts you into the race with horses until He has trained you with the runners.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">4. The proverb, "God tempers the wind for the shorn lamb" - is not true.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. God gives the lamb a coat of wool to protect it from the cold wind.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">5. God is working in us to prepare us for the future.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">6. I never come to a place or experience but that God has not beforehand prepared me for it.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">7. "You are His workmanship..."</div>
