Title: Follow God's Commands (Jeremiah 22:1-9)
Contents 1. Introduction
1. The Lord gave Jeremiah a message to go down to the palace of Judah and proclaim (1)
① Now, O king, listen to what the LORD is saying to you (1)
② The high officials under you and the people who come to you also listen to these words (2)
2. However, in the end, as a result of the Israelites disobeying God's command, they eventually suffered destruction.
2. Jehovah God's commands and practice them
(1) Strive to implement social justice (3)
① Free those who are oppressively deprived and exploited from the clutches of those who oppress them violently (3)
②Do not exploit the poor in the country of Judah, who wander around and work for the rich (3)
③ Do not abuse or use violence against orphans or widows
④ Immediate cessation of murder in this country by catching, imprisoning and killing innocent people (3)
(2) Consequences of whether Jehovah’s commands are being practiced
① If these conditions are strictly observed and practiced,
a. There is a future for this royal family (4)
B. From now on, he will bring many servants and people, riding chariots and horses, going in and out of the gates of this palace (4)
②If you do not receive this teaching sweetly,
a. This royal palace will be turned into a wasteland - a pile of garbage - (5)
b. I swear by myself as the master of the whole world, and I swear this with certainty (5)
3. If you reject the command of the Lord God,
(1) God declares the destruction of Israel
①Until now, God has blessed Israel
a. Like the forest of Gilead (6)
B. Loved it like the beautiful scenery on top of Lebanon (6)
②But now
a. I will overturn you and turn you into a desert (6)
B. I will turn it into a pile of garbage that no one can buy anymore (6)
③I will send you those who will destroy you (7)
(2) The world's evaluation of the destruction of Israel
① Ask each other: Why did the Lord destroy the great city so horribly (8)
② to answer each other
a. Because the inhabitants of this city did not keep at all the obligations and conditions of the covenant they had made with their God (9)
b. and worshiped and bowed down to other gods (9)
4. Conclusion
1. If we follow God's commands, God promises the future, but
2. If you break that command, you will be destroyed.
