Losing My Religion: Complete Collapse | Jeremiah 21

LS Community Church live Sunday gathering, February 9th; teaching by Stan Rodda.

2 Kings 21:6-7, 2 Kings 21:13b, Ezekial 1:1; 2:3, Ezekiel 7:5-8, Jeremiah 2:4, 11-12, 2 Kings 25:1, 2, Jeremiah 21:4, 5, Lamentations 1:1-3, Lamentations 3:21, 22 

We have talked about some difficult periods of time in the history of Israel. Just when everything seemed to be on track–the Temple had been completed, they were coming off King David’s and King Solomon's reign – these were the glory days for Israel, prosperity, wealth, security and most importantly, God’s presence with them. 

But they quickly forgot their identity in God. They focused too much on the land. Too much on being like the people around them. They went backward to pagan gods and idol worship. And this led to a myriad of other problems within the nation of Israel. We have seen that when you shift away from your God given identity it leads to division. 

Israel is divided among political and territorial lines, going from a united nation to two kingdoms (north and south). God pursues His people trying to remind them of their identity in Him. But they don’tlisten. Their refusal to align with God is the beginning of the end for Israel. The north collapsed had already collapsed under a severe Assyrian empire. But God for the moment has spared the southern Kingdom (Judah) Sadly, that doesn’t last much longer. About 136 years after the south was saved. It will also meet its end and we will discover the reality that living a false identity leads to complete collapse. 

And even though Israel is about to collapse, God continues to pursue. God calls Ezekiel & Jeremiah into action to try and turn Judah around before it’s too late.
