|
|

|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. The symptoms of their illness.</div>
|

|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. There was continual international strife.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">(with God a. "And Jehovah gave them rest from their enemies round about." at center)</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. GOD'S ATTEMPTS TO CURE THEIR ILLS.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. He sent unto them His prophets.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. They called unto the people to turn back to Jehovah.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. They assured them of God's mercy and forgiveness.</div>
|

|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. They warned of the impending invasion and destruction of the land.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. The prophets were mocked. Their messages were rejected.</div>

|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">III. GOD'S DIAGNOSIS "NO REMEDY."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. The people failing to respond to every effort of God to bring them back to himself, chose their own course of destruction.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. They would not trust in God, but chose rather to trust in themselves.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. They refused God's strength and chose to rely on their own.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. They closed their ears to the prophets of God and chose to listen to the soothing words of the lying prophets.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">4. The results were predictable.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. God had warned them in His word, "He that being often reproved, hardeneth his neck shall suddenly be destroyed.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. They took that fatal last step where they went beyond the point of no return.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. They mistake the patience of God as approval. His longsuffering as weakness.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Their rationale was "how could a God of love punish us?"</div>
