Read: Jeremiah 33:1-34:22; 1 Timothy 3:1-16; Psalm 89:1-13; Proverbs 25:23-24
Jeremiah 33:3 is a take everywhere scripture. It says, “Call unto me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” If you see 3:33 on the clock often or see these numbers you will know that God is trying to get to you ask him questions so he can answer them. God was telling Judah that he was about to destroy it and they needed to know why. They had brought it upon themselves so they could not blame him. Once their time of discipline was over, God would restore joy and prosperity to their land. He gave them the promise of the Messiah as a righteous Branch.
The armies of Babylon came against Jerusalem and as they were fighting them God sent word to King Zedekiah that he would not die by the sword but would die peacefully and be honored by the people.
Zedekiah had told the people to free their Hebrew slaves but as time went on they had enslaved them again. God had Jeremiah remind them of the year of Jubilee where all the slaves were to be free. They had broken this law and because they did this they would die by the sword, plague and famine. King Zedekiah would be taken to Babylon then the Babylonians would return to Jerusalem and waste it.
Paul warned them again about deceiving false teachers and doctrine. The way you stay away from being deceived it to study the truth; then the counterfeit will be obvious.
Lord, help us to sing of your great love and remember your faithfulness.
