The autumn sky around Chuseok is as clear as pulling out the high spirits. We cannot really understand the heart of the sky, who will be looking at the world with such an attitude even in the field evening that Suma scratched and passed.
Looking at the face of a farmer who sighs in vain as he looks at the barren rice fields and the ruins of his house with his bent back, we find the resentment that is holding up in us. What is so wrong that only they have to suffer so much? I, who can't do anything, are also living in such a time of comfort.. How did their lives have to be ruined? They are purer than me and have a purer heart than me, so how can the high mountains be happy and happy?
The women waiting for a handful of grains of rice to be sent...and the people across the river who play the astronomical number game of 100 million per pyeong, is the punishment prepared for them only adding a few pennies in tax? While tens of billions of public funds are being lost, the shrill cries of the workers' protesters struggling to protect their throats cut through the sky. In this way, we are deceived into living a life that we do not know ourselves. Rather, if the multitude of lies live a life of peace, for whom are these many sufferings living a bleak life? What will be rewarded for those who live in pain without knowing whose fault it is?
Today Jeremiah is crying out to God. "I said, Alas, sovereign Lord, you have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem. You said, "Peace be with you." But the sword is against life." (Jeremiah 4:10) It conveys a message of comfort and peace. However, we have not found peace in our lives, and we are living without sufficient comfort. There is only the struggle for a life of comfort and peace.
God said through Jeremiah, “O Israel, if you are going to return, return to me. Pray, and you will boast because of me.” He continued, “Plow up your old ground, and do not sow among thorns” (verse 3).
Perhaps this is what he is saying to us today. To us who are immersed in religious practices while ignoring the true will of God, the Bible says, “Circumcise yourselves, cut the skins of your hearts, and belong to the Lord, or my wrath will be kindled like fire and consumed because of your iniquities. There will be no one to draw” (v.
God always sends His prophets for the true conversion of His people. For the religious reform of the people of Israel, he told Jeremiah to "blow the trumpet in this land." Jeremiah's message was, "It was a message of the calamity and destruction that was soon to come." John the Baptist said to the Israelites, "Bring forth fruit worthy of repentance. The ax has already been laid at the root of the trees; I will cast you” (Luke 3:8).
Jeremiah said of the coming calamity, "Behold, he ascends like a cloud, and his chariots are like a whirlwind, and his horses are swifter than eagles; woe to us, for we are perishing." And for complete salvation from that coming calamity, he cried out, "Wash away the evil from your heart, Jerusalem, and you will be saved. How long will your evil thoughts remain in you?" (Jeremiah 4:14).
This is a message of repentance to the church. Because Jerusalem is the center of Israel's religion and the city of God. Chapter 2 of Revelation proclaims to the seven churches, "He who has an ear, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches." This means that the churches do not turn to God's will and are indulged in something wrong with their actions. But now, when that day comes, the work of the Holy Spirit for salvation will stop.
In Revelation 13, the voice of the Holy Spirit, who had cried out with patience for a long time, ascended to heaven together with the saints who followed him. There is no longer the cry of the Holy Spirit in the remaining fields. Because the church of Christ has already been raptured.
Jeremiah heard the sound of the coming war and looked at the people of God who were on the verge of destruction and destruction, and said, "I am sad and in pain, my heart aches and my heart is troubled and cannot be quiet, because my soul you hear the sound of the trumpet and the trumpet of war. hear" (verse 19). This is also God's mourning. Even today the Holy Spirit groans within us for our weakness.
Jeremiah said, "My people are fools who do not know me, they are foolish children who have no understanding; they are wise to do evil, but ignorant to do good" (verse 22). Now, when God's patience ends, there is only God's wrath on this earth.
Can't your ears hear the cry of your wrath? Then you will enjoy the peace of God. But if you continue to commit adultery even after hearing the voice of wrath echoing in your heart, God's wrath against you will not stop. The Bible records the wrath of this day as follows: “I looked to the earth, and it was chaotic and empty; I looked up to the heavens, and there was no light; I looked at the mountains, and all the mountains shook, and the hills shook; I looked, and there were no people; All the cities fell before the LORD, before his fierce wrath, for saith the LORD, The whole land shall be desolate, but I will not destroy it; the land will mourn over it, and the heavens above will be dark; If I did not do it, neither will I turn back” (23-28).
