PROPHECY OF JEREMIAH

 

          Thus saith the Lord, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?  And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination.


          The PRIESTS said not, Where is the Lord? and they that handle the law knew me not: the PASTORS also transgressed against me, and walked after things that do not profit.  Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the Lord.  My people have changed their glory for that which does not profit.  My people have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters.


          Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord.  I planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?  How canst thou say, I am not polluted? 
Thou art a wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure.


          Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire?  Yet my people have forgotten me days without number.  If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again?  Shall not that land be greatly polluted?  But thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the Lord.  Thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.  And thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.  Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the Lord.


          Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married unto you: And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.  Thou shalt call me, My Father; and shalt not turn away from me.  Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the Lord God.  Return ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings.  Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the multitude.  Truly the Lord our God is the Salvation.  Break up the fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.  Circumcise yourselves to the Lord, and take away the foreskins of your heart, lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.


          The destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he's gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate.  Lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the Lord is not turned back.  The PRIESTS have greatly deceived this people, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.  Now also will I give sentence against them.  Wash thine heart from Wickedness, THAT thou mayest be Saved.  How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?  Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee.  For my people is foolish, they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.  My soul is wearied because of MURDERERS.  And though they say, The Lord liveth; surely THEY SWEAR FALSELY.  Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: they know not the way of the Lord, nor the judgment of God.


          How shall I pardon thee for this?  When I fed them to the full, they committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlot's houses.  They have belied the Lord, and said, Neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:  Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not: Fear ye not me? saith the Lord: will ye not tremble at my presence? 
But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.


          Your sins have withholden good things from you.  For among my people are wicked men: they lay wait, they set a trap, they catch men.  So are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.  
They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: yet they prosper.  A horrible thing is committed.  The prophets prophesy FALSELY, and the PRIESTS bear rule BY THEIR MEANS; and my people love to have it so.  Behold the Word of the Lord is unto them a REPROACH; they have no delight in it.


          For every one is given to COVETOUSNESS;
and from the prophet even unto the PRIEST, every one DEALETH FALSELY, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.  Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination?  Nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush; therefore THEY SHALL FALL among them that fall: THEY SHALL BE CAST DOWN, saith the Lord.


          Hear, O earth: Behold, I will bring evil upon this people, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it. 
They are all grievous REVOLTERS, walking with SLANDERS: they are all corrupters.  Behold, ye trust in LYING WORDS that cannot profit.  Is THIS HOUSE, which is called by MY NAME, become a DEN OF ROBBERS in your eyes?  Behold, even I HAVE SEEN IT, saith the Lord.  I WILL CAST YOU OUT of my sight.


          But this thing I commanded them saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in ALL the ways that I have commanded you, THAT it may be well with you. 
But they hearkened not, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck; that obeyed not the voice of the Lord, nor received correction; truth is perished and is cut off from their mouth.


          They hold fast DECEIT; they refuse to return.  They spake not aright: NO MAN REPENTED of his wickedness.  My people know not the judgment of the Lord.  The wise men have rejected the Word of the Lord; and what wisdom is in them?  From the prophet even unto the PRIEST, every one DEALETH FALSELY.  They SHALL BE CAST DOWN; I will surely CONSUME them, saith the Lord.  They bend their tongues for LIES; they are not valiant for the truth; for they proceed from EVIL TO EVIL, and they KNOW ME NOT.  Through DECEIT they refuse to know me.  Their TONGUE speaketh peaceably, BUT IN HEART HE LAITH HIS WAIT.  Shall not my soul be avenged on such as this?  I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.


          Learn not the way of the heathen; they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.  MY TABERNACLE IS SPOILED.  
For the PASTORS ARE BECOME BRUTISH, and have NOT sought the Lord: therefore they shall not prosper.  Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant, which I commanded, so I will be your God.  Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them.


          MANY PASTORS have DESTROYED my vineyard; THEY have TRODDEN my portion under foot.  They have made it DESOLATE.  A CONSPIRACY is found among the men; BELIEVE THEM NOT, though THEY SPEAK FAIR WORDS unto thee.  This EVIL people, which REFUSE TO HEAR my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, shall be as which is good for nothing.  I WILL NOT PITY, nor spare, NOR HAVE MERCY, BUT DESTROY them.  Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: the Lord hath spoken.  Give glory to the Lord God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble into the shadow of death and gross darkness.  This is thy lot and portion, saith the Lord; because THOU HAST forgotten me, and TRUSTED IN FALSEHOOD. 
Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy shame will appear.


          I HAVE SEEN thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy WHOREDOM, and thine ABOMINATIONS.  Woe unto thee; wilt thou not be made clean?  When shall it be?  The WILD ASSES snuffed up the wind like dragons.  Thus have they loved to wander, therefore the Lord doth not accept them.  The prophets prophesy LIES IN MY NAME: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a FALSE thing of nought, and the DECEIT of their heart.  The prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet SHALL THOSE PROPHETS be consumed.  AND THE PEOPLE TO WHOM THEY PROPHESY SHALL BE CAST OUT.  I WILL DESTROY MY PEOPLE, since they return not from their ways.  A FIRE SHALL BURN YOU.


         
For a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you.  They shall die of grievous deaths; they shall not be buried; they shall be as DUNG upon the face of the earth.  For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face.  I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double.  They shall know that my name is The Lord.  And thou shalt DISCONTINUE from thine HERITAGE THAT I GAVE THEE.  Cursed be the man that trusteth in man whose heart departeth from the Lord.  The heart is deceitful above all, and desperately wicked.  I the Lord search the heart, to give every man according to his ways and his doings.  Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand.  If that nation turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.  If it do evil, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.


          Thus saith the Lord; Behold I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.  I have set my face against evil.  I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings.  WOE unto him that buildeth by unrighteousness, and by wrong.  Thine eyes and thine heart are for COVETOUSNESS, to shed innocent blood, for oppression, and for violence.  He shall be buried with the burial of an ASS, drawn and CAST FORTH beyond the gates.  As I live, saith the Lord, yet would I pluck thee thence.  And I WILL CAST THEE OUT, AND THY MOTHER that bare thee.


          WOE be unto the PASTORS THAT DESTROY and scatter the sheep.  Thus saith the Lord against THE PASTORS that feed my people; YE HAVE SCATTERED my flock, and driven them away: behold, I will visit upon you the EVIL of your doings.  And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them.  Mine heart is broken because of the prophets; their course is EVIL, and their force is not right. 
For both prophet and PRIEST ARE PROFANE; yea, have I found their WICKEDNESS, saith the Lord.  Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness; THEY SHALL FALL therein.  I have seen folly in the prophets: THEY CAUSED my people TO ERR.  They walk in LIES: THEY STRENGTHEN the hands of EVILDOERS, that NONE doth return from his wickedness: they are all as Sodom and Gomorrah.  Thus saith the Lord, HEARKEN NOT unto the words of the prophets: THEY MAKE YOU VAIN: they speak of their OWN heart, and NOT out of the mouth of the Lord.  They say unto THEM THAT DESPISE ME, Ye shall have peace.  Behold, a grievous whirlwind shall fall upon the head of the wicked.  In the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.  They should have returned from the evil of their doings.


          Am I not a God at hand, and not afar off?  Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him?  Do not I fill heaven and earth?  I have heard the prophets that prophesy LIES IN MY NAME; yea, they are the prophets of the DECEIT of their OWN heart; which THINK TO CAUSE my people TO FORGET my name.


          Is not my word LIKE AS A FIRE?
saith the Lord; and LIKE A HAMMER that breaketh the rock in pieces?  Therefore, I am against the prophets that STEAL MY WORDS; against them that prophesy FALSE, and CAUSE my people TO ERR by their LIES, and by their LIGHTNESS; yet I SENT THEM NOT, nor commanded them: therefore THEY SHALL NOT PROFIT THIS PEOPLE AT ALL.  I will even FORSAKE YOU, saith the Lord.  And as for the PROPHET, and THE PRIEST, AND THE PEOPLE, I will even punish that man and his house.  For ye have PERVERTED THE WORDS of the living God.  Behold I, even I, will utterly FORGET YOU, AND I WILL FORSAKE YOU, AND CAST YOU OUT of my presence.


          The Lord has sent unto you all his servants.  They said, TURN YE again now every one from his evil ways and doings, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.  Yet ye have not hearkened. 
Therefore thus saith the Lord, I will take and UTTERLY DESTROY them.  Thus saith the Lord, Drink ye, and be drunken, and spew, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.  Ye shall certainly drink.  He will give them that are wicked to the sword.  And THE SLAIN of the Lord SHALL BE DUNG upon the ground.


          HOWL, YE SHEPHERDS, and cry, ye principal of the flock: for the days of your SLAUGHTER and of your dispersions are accomplished; and YE SHALL FALL like a pleasant vessel.  And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.  A CRY of the shepherds, and a HOWLING of the principal of the flock SHALL BE HEARD: for the Lord hath spoiled their pasture.  And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the Lord.  He hath forsaked HIS COVERT.


          Therefore now AMEND YOUR WAYS and doings, and OBEY the voice of God.  Hearken NOT to your prophets, for THEY PROPHESY A LIE unto you.  For I have NOT sent them, saith the Lord, yet they prophesy LIES IN MY NAME; THAT YE SHOULD PERISH. 
Why will ye die, thou people?  Therefore hearken not.  For I HAVE NOT SENT THEM, yet THEY LIE IN MY NAME, that YE might PERISH, ye, and the prophets.  Hearken not unto them, and live.  The Lord hath not sent thee; but thou makest the people to trust in a lie.  Therefore thus saith the Lord, I will CAST THEE OFF the face of the earth: thou shalt DIE, because THOU HAST TAUGHT REBELLION against the Lord.  Thus saith the Lord, Let not your PROPHETS, that be in the midst of you, DECEIVE you.  For they prophesy FALSELY unto you IN MY NAME: I have not sent them, saith the Lord.  Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.  And ye shall SEEK me, and FIND me, WHEN ye shall SEARCH FOR ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART.  And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will gather you.


          For every man that is mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him in PRISON, and IN THE STOCKS. 
Now therefore why hast thou not reproved which maketh himself a prophet to you?  I sent him not, and HE CAUSED YOU TO TRUST IN A LIE.  For it shall come to pass, saith the Lord, that I will break his yoke from off thy necks, and will burst thy bonds.  For I am with thee, to save thee: I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished; For thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous.  There is none to plead thy cause.  Behold, the whirlwind of the Lord goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.  The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.



          MY FELLOW BAPTIST MEMBERS, is there ANY part of this that is not readily understood?  No man is authorized to ALTER the CONTEXT of God's Word; yet men conjure up misconstrued, demonic denominational heresies that reject many necessary aspects of God and Salvation, and our preachers of today still teach such Satanic ideals.  As I see it, our Southern Baptist Convention heritage was hatched from snake eggs laid by WITCHES.  In HORROR, I read of its founding and operations that preachers would not like their trusting congregations to read, due to the exposure of sin, hatred and deceit that God's Light SHINES on the demonic influences of such a God-Forsaken CULT Conceived by Devils who absolutely hate God, women, children, and all races of men.  Don't be fooled by DEVILS THAT DISH OUT FALSE DOCTRINES.


          I was inducted into the Southern Baptist faith in 1960, as a newborn child.  The son of Arkansas delta cotton producers, my most fond memories are of the many days spent in the laps of those colored hands that drove our tractors.  Many days and nights, I was comforted in the laps and arms of the colored women.  As a child, I neither saw nor knew color, but I definitely saw and knew LOVE; real love.  Though my mother taught of Godly love toward all mankind, and I NEVER recall her EVER mentioning ANYTHING about ANY person's race or color, Satanic forms of hatred were shown, taught, and stressed by men of my Caucasoid heritage.  I have no reason to bear false witness against my pastors, nor will I lie for them.  No offense intended, but as God is my witness to set the record straight, the word 'Nigger', among many other derogatory terms, was frequently spoken from Baptist pulpits, usually in ways that created joyful laughs and smiles from the 'good-ole-boys' of that group.  That's how older heathens teach their little young baby heathens to Love Their Neighbors as their self! 
Do the Scriptures not assure us that such ungodly hatemongers will spend Eternity in the fiery furnace of Hell?  Men of such Southern Baptist standing stood not at all according to God's instructions to LOVE One Another.  I can recollect many ungodly incidents that would be of an embarrassing nature to the freestanding Baptist tree of its own root.


          Considered 'saved' by Baptist tradition, it took me thirty years to realize an absolute deficiency in the teachings I learned from such men.  Why was I taught to dishonor and disrespect a people that loved me, because their skin and hair was different from mine?  How could my early years be filled with an absolute knowledge of love for the people who loved and cared for me, and then my heart be filled with discontentment toward all races of men, other than that of my own?  Why would an eight-year-old be told that his beloved friend was not allowed to drink water from the same cups that a white man drinks from?  Why would a child be told that he couldn't have 'certain' friends, based entirely upon that friend's color?  Why would a child be told that he's 'better than' anybody who is not of the same race as himself?  WHY???  I could possibly pen a four-volume set about Wicked Southern Baptist men's evil teachings that I LEARNED in thirty years, but for now, I include only brief examples; and if some of those great doctors of that distraught religion choose to call my bluff, I'll expose so much on them, till they'd be drunk with shame.  Hatred in the Caucasoid Baptist church is no secret.


          I readily admit that I'm not schooled with memorization of books, chapters and verses; but I recognize the Sovereignty of God and the instructions He's laid forth in His Word for us to FOLLOW, OR ELSE.  Though raised devoutly in a Baptist church, the only way I was able to receive a True Closeness with God was to cast aside the denominational demons that corrupted my mind, and search for the Holy Father with a True heart.  Diligent Scriptural study reveals many instances of falsification being taught and demonstrated within the proud and boastful family of my religious heritage.


          My plea is toward my brethren who so claim to be 'saved', and who could surely be as misled as I was.  Though traditions of man are deeply ingrained and agreed upon by many, a million wrongs does not make one right. 
Though my heart leans toward my Baptist family, I neither say not imply that they are the only ones being taught LESS THAN THE TRUTH; they are merely one of MANY who are absolutely NOT being taught the FULLNESS of God.  Much of God is omitted by preachers, and of the several most-common denominations I've associated with, THERE IS NONE that I see teaching the Fullness of God in Truth.  It's not only within the Baptist Kingdom; all religions that place their man-made standards around the Standards of God, are teaching their own doctrines according to MAN, and NOT OF GOD.  Sorry, but that's how it is.


          People, we truly need to come to terms with the Doctrine of CHRIST, and rid our souls of this horrific evil that has embedded and plagued our souls by generations of traditional teachings.  We must REJECT False doctrines, in order for our souls to gain Eternal LIFE.  Anyone who actually thinks he's 'saved' according to Baptist or ANY other MAN'S hand-me-down 'traditions' absolutely has a serious need to examine himself in accordance with God's Word.  No preacher of false doctrine will EVER outlaw or overthrow the Law of God, even though they make constant attempts, practicing some form of DECEPTION EVERY TIME they teach it.  Try as they do, they'll NEVER elevate their false doctrines above the Word of God.  We SHOULD KNOW and LOVE and DO the Word of God.  LOVE, HONOR, AND OBEY!


          Christ Commands His FOLLOWERS and SERVANTS to have DISCIPLINE and Obedience, in Submission to the HOLINESS of His Word, and give SERVICE unto the Righteousness of God.  NOBODY is 'saved' that doesn't SERVE God and KEEP His Commandments.  NOBODY living unto sin is 'saved', nor can be, until they FEAR God enough to TRULY REPENT and be BORN AGAIN, Baptized INTO Jesus, Through HIS Conditional COVENANT, Unto CONVERSION, Through Submission and OBEDIENCE in Absolute LOVE and FEAR.  If any preacher leads you into believing a watered-down 'version of God', he is a SOUL SNATCHER in a SUIT, preaching a False Doctrine, and he KNOWS it!  If you're TRICKED into thinking you're 'saved' by repeating a 'Sinners Prayer', or 'Walking the aisle', or 'Being baptized', you need to THINK again!  Nobody can be of Christ IF they don't HONOR God and KEEP HIS COVENANT.  Don't be deluded by denominational doctrines.


          Surely God allows for human fallibility; we all make errors, but we are to LEARN from those errors, and CORRECT them.  The KEEPING of God's Commandments is spoken of MANY times in the Word, and the PROMISES are FOR those who KEEP His Commandments.  Though Christ spake sternly about KEEPING The Commandments, false preachers teach that God's GRACE has abolished His LAW!  Such pastors have abandoned God for GREED, and they teach ONLY what people PAY to hear! 
HIRELINGS care not for the souls; they just like an easy-MONEY JOB.  Who doesn't?


          False preachers' favorite SPORT is LEECHING from those who PAY them to SNAG their SOULS for HELL.  Are YOU a Leech-Host, Paying a preacher to SNAG YOU To Hell?  Does the man who delivers your sermons REQUIRE MONEY to perform his 'Godly service' unto you?  IF a preacher COMPELS people to 'Come to me and be saved forever without works', or IF a preacher THREATENS or COERCES you about a TITHE, HE IS AN IMPOSTOR!  IF your preacher teaches the New GRACE in Christ, and in the same service compels you into TITHING, then you should KNOW that The ANTICHRIST is preaching IN YOUR CHURCH! 
Don't be a CARP ON HIS HOOK!  Get off!  We're NOT in BONDAGE beneath Obsolete Levitical ordinances of TITHING unto ANY man's church.


          False Preachers Cunningly BAIT their victims, saying, 'Salvation is FREE'; but then they deceive their hopeless victims into PAYING TITHES for it, for the rest of their life! 
I'd like to excuse them for the sake of ignorance, but they ALL KNOW EXACTLY what they're doing, and why; so there IS NO EXCUSE!  I love and care about those deceivers, and though most of them DENY the values of FASTING as a Godly SERVICE, with much fasting I pray for their Deliverance; and may God have mercy on their wicked souls.  The end times are at hand.  Blood drips from the hands of those preachers; and lest we've become CONVERTED through REPENTANCE, Christ's blood is on ours.


          Are you REPENTED, WASHED and CONVERTED into a Faithful and OBEDIENT SERVANT?  Lip service doesn't cut it with God.  I can say that I'm the Grim Reaper.  Cutthroat THIEVES and ROBBERS say they love you, and say they teach the Gospel of Christ.  Babylon America SAYS it's a Christian nation.  If 'Christianity' is the reason why this Mother of all harlots and abomination is the CESSPOOL of the world, I'd hate to see the outcome if Satan ever found his way to San Francisco, New York City, or Washington DC!  What do YOU say?  What do you DO?


          Save your souls from Hell; Flee the false preachers. 
Don't be partakers of their demonic teachings.  STUDY THE SCRIPTURES, try the spirits, and show yourself APPROVED unto God.  Read the Prophesies of Jeremiah and the other Prophets.  We can't LOVE Christ without DOING His Will; and if we don't SERVE God, we'll seethe in the Cauldron of Witches brew, right along with those false-teaching Warlocks who wish for us to be among them in the flames of Hell!  CONSIDER YOUR WAYS.
