Jeremiah 29:9 “For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD.”

Jesus reminds His people to recognize that these false teachers and preachers are lying to them! Jesus has not sent them, while they proclaim that they are being led by God. They insist that they know the Lord is leading them, and that we should listen to them.

Yet all of this was wrong and they were being used by the devil to lead us astray! This is a continual temptation and distraction. We are to expect it and plan for it. The only way to defend ourselves, is to store up all the words of God in our own hearts and minds, and compare those words to the words of these so-called preachers and teachers. Line upon line, precept upon precept. Amen?

How many words from God’s true prophets do we need to read and study? Whenever you meet someone who tells you what God says in His word, you should ask if they have read all of God’s words? If they haven’t, how would they know if their “impressions” are comparable? As a matter of fact, if they have not been reading all of God’s words, why would we listen to any of them?

That should be a litmus test to any preacher or teacher! Amen? Then we have to apply this to our own lives and impressions or dreams. Have we been given a dream, or a vision from God? How can we now if this was from Him or from ourselves? Apply that to the words we have been reading or studying.

And how many words should we be reading and learning for ourselves? The same standard for those preachers and teachers too! Amen? In other words, you have to be extremely careful with new “light” that we have been presented with. Whether it is from others or ourselves.

The devil tries to mislead us all day long. He never quits. He never gives up. He never uses the same temptations. If this doesn’t work, he goes for something else.

Remember, it is a war! And with a war, we have to be trained to fight! Amen? What is our weapon? The sword of the Spirit! The words of God! Then who will win this war? The one who has more weapons. Amen? Who do you want with you when you are fighting this war? The one who has all the armament possible, right? Do you want someone who only has a few bullets? He would lose! Do you want a loser by your side? Or worse, a loser who is leading you?

Doesn’t this make sense? Now consider were are fighting the final battle at the end times. Satan will be doing all he can to deceive and to destroy us. Now you have a choice as to whom you want to listen to, or depend upon.

When you go to church to be told what God is saying to them, to give you information. What would be your determination, as to whom you will listen to? How tall they are, or how kind looking, or where they went to school, or what others are listening to them? The devil has all of that, and more! The only way to know for sure, is if they are continually quoting the Bible and SOP! But how will we know that, until we are aware of those words ourselves? Amen? If we have not time, to read all of those books, then what should we do? Find someone who has, and ask them! They already have plenty of “bullets” and they can help you!

However, do not depend upon anyone but God Himself! Don’t quit reading, thinking you can just trust someone else. Absolutely not! Keep reading, and amassing all the “bullets” you can! Remember the devil is also trying to get you to dream and have your own visions!

And though you don’t always have someone with you who knows all of God’s words, Jesus and the Holy Spirit and Their holy angels, are right beside you. Hallelujah! The more words you store up, and are aware of, the more words they can bring back to Your mind! When you are getting these impressions or thoughts, you have all these words to compare with. They will remind you, impress you, and suggest these words that you have already read and learned, and those will guide you!

Jesus is warning all of us who are reading and listening. Now we know how to be prepared, amen?

Jeremiah 29:8 “For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.”

Jesus is gently warning His people to not let anyone give them the impression that their circumstances will be better. Including yourselves!

This is their remedial punishment and they must humble themselves and accept it. If they would submit, their lives would be peaceful and much more comfortable. But He is warning them to be aware of the devil’s plan, to ruin His remedial efforts to save them and their children! Satan knows what Jesus is doing, and so he is doing all he can to prevent that plan from coming to fruition! This is the war, that is going on in the world.

Jesus is trying to open their eyes and our eyes to this reality. Our sins and selfishness cause our broken relationships to God, and we will never be able to come home to heaven. Amen? God wants His children to be with Him! If we do not listen to Him, and sin and disobey, He has to intervene to try and save us!

In Jeremiah's time, His plan, was to send them to Babylon! That was to help them hate sin and their selfishness, and start listening to Him again. Of course Satan sees that and tries to stop it. His plan, is to bring up new false prophets and teachers and preachers, to tell the people that there is no need to change or improve or repent! They are God’s children, and He will never let them suffer or be in bo***ge! Just live their selfish and sinning lives, and accept that God will bring them home anyway! In spite of their terrible circumstances.

All we have to do, is to rebel and fight against Nebuchadnezzar and Babylon! Even though they were told, that God is the One Who sent Nebuchadnezzar to them in the first place! Nebuchadnezzar was God’s “servant.” So who are the Jew’s fighting against? God Almighty! How will that work out for them?

Satan knows that too. So he does all he can, to give them dreams and hopes and visions, of them breaking free from their terrible conditions, knowing full well that if they do that, it will be much worse for them! Nebuchadnezzar will clamp down, and even kill them. There will be no peace, no comfort, and no going home! And especially, no listening to God and His true prophet! Amen?

So Jesus tries to head Satan off at the pass, and warns His people to not listen to those lies! Two Generals, two armies, and two options! This war is raging, in our hearts and minds. We are continually being assaulted, and defended, and warned.

We are given orders from God, to obey or to avoid certain things. And Satan is right there giving his own “orders” or impressions or temptations! It is up to us to decide, who we want to listen to.

One King leads us to life and peace. The other ruler leads us to death and pain. God’s orders can only be followed, if we deny self, and let go of sin! However, the devil’s orders do not need us to change our lives!

And this is why Jesus tells us to not hearken to our dreams that “Ye” caused to be dreamed! We want, what we want. Amen? And we have the ability to come up with our own impressions and thoughts and dreams, as to how we will survive and improve our lives! Jesus says to beware!

If those dreams and visions and impressions do not compare with His prophet’s words, you are going the wrong way! Then how can we know for sure, if we are dreaming the right dreams, or listening to the wrong impressions? Easy. Line them up with the prophet’s words! Satan can’t contradict the truth! Oh no! Now what can he do? He has to invent a new plan! Tell the people that they do not need to listen to that prophet! Ingenious! All he has to do is to come up with one reason or another as to why we should not listen to or read those words! Amen?

Then they can be deceived and will have no idea if their dreams or visions come from God, or from themselves! If they don’t listen to God’s prophet, they can trust in a lie! Which General do we want to listen to?

02/01/2026

Jeremiah 29:6 “Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished.”

Jesus explains to His people that He is not destroying the nation, He is replacing it! The Jewish people will not be wiped out, just another and different generation will be offered what the last generation was given.

This is the way He has operated, from the very beginning. He creates beings to work, and follow, and appreciate the existence and life He planed for them. If they decide to not live that life, He will remove them and create new beings to see if they want to.

He did that with His angels, Adam and Eve, the Antediluvians, the Egyptians, the inhabitants in the promised land, the Jews in the wilderness, and now the Jews in Babylon.

Create, bless, offer freedom to choose, and remove and replace. Over and over, until He gets the number He needs to fulfill His ranks.

Jesus is not done with the Jews, He is allowing them to make their own choices. If they choose to not obey Him, He will let them lose all their blessings, and give them to someone else, just like He did in the parable of the talents. He gave everyone talents and the choice to do what He said. The ones who follow Him, are commended and allowed to enter His “joy.” The ones who refuse will lose their blessings, and those blessings with be given to others! He has never changed His way of doing things: Malachi 3:6 “For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.”

He has never wanted to take out any of His created beings! He is a loving and caring and living God! He has no desire to have death in His kingdom: Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

He does not like to remove, He prefers to … recycle. Even this world will not be taken away, He plans to remodel it: Revelation 21:5 “And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.”

Jesus told John to write that “these words” are true and faithful. In other words, this is the reality! This is how I operate! He never throws away. He reassembles. Even with each one of us, who decided to repent and come back to Him: 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

The smartest man ever known, figured this out: Ecclesiastes 3:20 “All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.”

Recycled! Ecclesiastes 12:7 “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.”

Jesus is explaining this to His people again. I’m not mad, I’m recycling! I’ve offered My blessings to you. Since you don’t want them, and buried them in the ground, I will offer them to your children, the next generation:

Jeremiah 29:6 “Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished.”

02/01/2026

Jeremiah 29:7 “And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.”

Jesus is telling His people to not fight or rebel against Nebuchadnezzar, like they fought against Him! They are to obey, comply and settle down. Accept their situation and fulfill it. Actually improve it by learning to do well, and pray to the Lord for Babylon and its king! If they will do that, they will have peace and comfort in their “slavery.”

Build houses, raise families? Do not fight against their oppressors but pray for them? What kind of “slavery” is this? This was not the kind of slavery, that their fathers were were used to in Egypt! Amen? What is going on? Jesus! Jesus is going on.

Jesus wants to save His people! In order to do that, they must learn to obey. Obedience is life! Disobedience is death. They have to understand this reality. Since they would not obey a Spiritual leader, maybe they will obey a physical leader. Either way, they have to learn obedience! Under a loving, caring, helping God, or a mean, vengeful, selfish God. Which would they prefer?

If they refuse, they will suffer and will be in continual friction. Their will is not their own. They have been bought with a price! Jesus’ blood, or the blood of Babylonians.

The Jews will be controlled. One is light, and one is dark. Are we getting this reality? If they finally figure this out, they can acquiesce and submit. Then they will have peace. If not, go ahead and suffer. It’s up to them.

Jesus has been “winnowing” out the ones, who are willing to comply and obey. The most rebellious and angry and selfish ones, have already died in plagues and droughts and famines and the war. The only ones left are the ones taken to Babylon. Of those, the ones who will finally listen and learn, will have homes and children and lives. The rest will be feeling continual hatred and angst and anger, unwilling to deny self and live for the king!

Pretty hard pill to swallow, for those people. But, it is their own choice. Daniel and his buddies had a very nice life. Amen? Knowing the history, we can assume that some Jews followed their lead, because their families eventually made it back home.

Do we want to make it home? Our children will learn, if they want to comply and go home. If not, we already know the other option. It has always been clear, as to which path we should choose. We can learn it the easy way, or the hard way. We can look at the stubborn Jews who will not listen to God’s prophet, and see where that leads. And we can look at the Jews who decided to humble themselves, and followed God’s words from His prophet, and see if we liked that option better.

Our study verse tells us to not just physically obey and comply, but spiritually change our hearts! Not just accept, but love! Pray for the good of the king and his kingdom! The kingdom that is controlling you!

Are we getting all of these analogies and examples here? The Holy Spirit, is trying to help us “see” this truth. Many will deny and reject and rebel. They will suffer and die. The the few, the “remnant” will survive, and actually prosper!

All this, and more, here in Jeremiah.

Jeremiah 29:7 “And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.”

Jeremiah 29:5 “Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;”

This is the letter from God to His people in Babylon. In other words, they are going to stay there in Babylon for 70 years! There will be no insurrection, no rebellion, no thought of coming back home. That disobedient generation of Jews will die there in Babylon. Their children will go home, but not them.

Almost exactly like the disobedient Jews who refused to follow God, to go to the promised land! Amen? That entire generation died there in the wilderness, and God could only take their children to the promised land instead. It gives us the impression that disobedience and rebellion cannot be fixed or improved. It has to be dead. Then God will use someone else.

Hopefully, they will learn and want to obey and follow God’s will for them. Those children will be told over and over again by their parents to never disobey God’s will or plans for them! They would be taught and trained for 70 years, to always accept and immediately respond to God’s words! If they don’t, they too will live in the wilderness or Babylon, and will never go home either!

Disobedience has serious ramifications. Outright rebellion can never be fixed. It has to die! If you ever want your children to not lose their homes and lifestyles, you must teach them these lessons! If they do not pay attention, they too will die without ever seeing their homes!

Sin is so disgusting and tenacious and deadly, that God cannot let it come into heaven! It has to die, amen? And if sin does not die in us, then we will die with it. Doesn’t this make sense?

If you will not obey God’s words now, how can you ever obey in heaven? You are still you! If God was to raise you up from your grave and give you a new body, you are still you! Your personality, your character, is who you are. God does not change that. All He changes is your physical body. 1 Corinthians 15:52,53 “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.”

Our “deadness” or dying self, will be made alive never to die again! All this is referring to, is our dead and dying physical bodies. They will be changed into alive and eternal bodies! No character changes. No personality changes. Otherwise, YOU would be no longer you. You would be someone else! The you you are now would cease to exist. Get it? If God changed your character and personality, you would be someone else.

Satan does not want us to understand this truth. God cannot change our personalities and characters and desires, because we would cease to exist. If we want to go home, sin has to die in us. How much sin? All of it! Amen? Will God take us into heaven, with a “little” rebellion? A “little” disobedience? Are we getting this truth?

If we choose to keep sin, any sin in our lives, then we have to die. 70 years is a generation. God has pronounced that they will never go home. Not physically. But if they will truly repent, and get rid of sin in their lives by God’s grace and power, they will eventually go to heaven! The ones who won’t repent, shows everybody that they can’t live in heaven either!

And no one will question God and His decisions as to who can come and who can’t. Everybody gets to watch us in our lives right now! Still want coffee? Meat? Alcohol, sports, politics, entertainment? God will let you have them for 70 years. Heaven won’t have any of that, so there is no point in taking you to heaven. Amen?

If you still want your sins, plan on building your house here, because there will be no mansion in heaven for you:

01/29/2026

Jeremiah 29:4 “Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon;”

This letter that Jeremiah sent, is not from Jeremiah. It is from God Almighty! These words are not Jeremiah’s book, it is God’s words, given to Jeremiah, so we can read and learn and love His plan for us! Jesus is speaking to us, amen?

He wrote this letter, to His children leaders that are leading the other children to Babylon. And why are they going to Babylon? Because He caused them to be carried away there! This was His plan. This was His remedial action to save His rebellious people. If He did not do this, they would have continued to rebel, and would have died eternally!

He loved them and wanted to be with them. They have been deceived, and tempted to ignore His words, by Satan. As we have learned so many times before, Jesus has to put His people into terrible situations, that they will want to come to Him to save them!

These terrible conditions, that the Jews are suffering right now, are perfect to create a condition to bring them back to Him so He can save them. We need to understand this concept, as we read and contemplate the Jew’s history.

The Jews, are God’s people. Amen? Then what are we? God’s people too! So what are all the rest of the world? They too, are God’s people as well! We all live on this planet, and are supposed to come to our Heavenly Father, so He can save us, and be with Him!

Every day we wake up, and live our lives, remember this truth that we are reading. We are God’s children, and He is striving to get us to come back to Him, so He can save us. For the ones who do come back to Him, He uses them to reach the other children to do the same. Amen?

All of us are in one particular aspect of life, depending upon where we are in our experience. He prefers to bless and create wonderful experiences in our lives, so we can love and appreciate Him, and come to Him as the result. But if those glorious conditions have caused us to leave Him and forget Him, He has to withdraw them. If that happens, and we feel our loss and come back to Him, He can bless again!

However, If we rebel even more and decide to refuse to hear or learn, He has to be more drastic. All the while, He is using the ones who are following and loving Him, to be the light and the witnesses to get these incorrigible ones to come back to Him! Now rinse and repeat, in every generation, and every nation, and every tongue and people. Since we are all His created people, this is the exact same “recipe” for everyone!

Jesus keeps using this “blessings or curses” experience for the entire world. The ones that show that they will never learn, will be the ones who will be removed from the planet. Whether it is the antediluvians, or the people who lived in the promised land before the Jews got there, or us right now.

If we won’t listen or learn, there is no point in letting our “tree” live. Why “cumbereth” the ground? In other words, why keep feeding and watering, if there is no good fruit, or if we won’t come to Him? Cut it down and cast it into the fire.

As we begin to understand God, or Jesus’ operation in this world, we have to decide how we will respond.

We are all being “enslaved” by a terrible taskmaster. Some see it and some don’t. Some hate it, but some are okay with it. Some want a better life and some have gotten so used to it that they literally enjoy it! But all get to choose. And all are getting letters, from our God! Amen?

The Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy, are those letters from God. He is telling us, that He is the One, Who is putting us into these different situations or conditions. Read His letters, and if you accept them and believe them, then change your choice, so you can be in a better situation! If you don’t, the conditions will have to get worse until you do.

But these “punishments,” or withdrawal of blessings, are all remedial! All of them are designed to get us to come to Him so He can save us. Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat. Bless, or curse, bless, or curse. Until you get to the point, of refusing to listen or learn. Then you are pronounced a “cumberer” of the ground and you will be cut down and cast in the fire.

The Jews were given this letter from God, through Jeremiah. They were told, that He is the One that has brought them to Babylon. And it is because of their sins. This is what happens, if they won’t listen to Him and come back to Him.

Rinse and repeat. Who will listen and learn? Today it is our time to choose to listen and learn, or reject and refuse to obey. Rinse and repeat.

This is His plan, to save us:

01/28/2026

Jeremiah 29:3 “By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon) saying,”

These men, or boys, were selected by Zedekiah to lead the final group of Jewish people to go to Babylon. Elasah, was the son of Shaphan, who was an important scribe and royal official. Gemariah, was the son of Hilkiah, who was the high priest. They were the last people who were still in charge of anything, or had any value or leadership in Judah. In other words, they were pretty much all that were left.

Not priests or scribes or leaders themselves, but children whose fathers had those positions! This is how much farther the Jewish nation had fallen. The only ones left to lead the people to Babylon to be slaves, were children! All the officials, the nobles, the royal family, even the tradesmen, were already gone to Babylon. The only ones still there, were the children of those noblemen and leaders.

When God said that the Jews were to go to Babylon, take Him at His word! Amen? Even the children! This is important! Sin and rebellion, affects, or infects, the entire family. Whenever we choose to follow God and His words, or refuse to listen and obey, it has an impact! All the way down, to our children and grandchildren.

Even if we finally repented eventually, that does not mean that all of our bad examples that created fruit, went away. No, God has to deal with our progeny that we created! So they too have to be taken to Babylon, to be slaves. They have to learn the same lessons that their parents are learning. They have to humble themselves, and obey. Sin is a disease, and that disease has to be removed.

The longer it is entrenched, the harder it is to remove it. Many of these children’s parents are dead. There was no way to get them to let go of their sins. But the children were young enough, and not totally hardened, that God could work with them.

Maybe, maybe not? It’s up to them. But they are still alive! As long as they have life, God can keep trying to reach them. If they would submit, if they would humble themselves and obey, there was still a chance. This is the level of love that God has for His people!

We are reading, that Jesus wants to save all of our children! If only they will let go of their own sinful and selfish ways. No one has to die! Just obey.

Look at the similarities of how God dealt with the Egyptians, and how God dealt with the Jews. God sends His messengers to get the people to obey His will. If they repent, and let go or their own plans and aspirations and do what God says, they can live and prosper. If not, the problems come.

Whether it is bloody water or boils, or hunger and slavery, problems are problems. The more you reject and refuse and rebel, the more problems will be coming. And finally, God will take your children too!

We are supposed to grasp this terrible consequence of sin and hate it! Shun it like the plague! Feel like Joseph, when he was enticed to commit sin. No way! Get away from me! Run away from sin, as fast as you can!

Read these stories, remember them, and never allow temptation to entice you! And not just for yourself alone, but for your children! This is the final lot of our choice to commit sin. We are literally condemning our children to slavery, or death! Hate sin with a passion!

Yet, we still have a merciful and loving God! Hallelujah! God is still trying to reach our children with a letter from His prophet. Even if we messed up, He can still try to rectify our stupid choices.

If only our children will read God’s letters, or what we call now, His “testimonies!”

01/27/2026

Jeremiah 29:2 “(After that Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the smiths, were departed from Jerusalem;)”

This verse helps tell us where in the timeline, Jeremiah was sending this letter to the rest of the Jews in Babylon.

When Babylon came to Israel and fought them, he took away all the princes and nobles, the king’s son and important people. But he left the king and queen and others, to maintain the country and collect taxes. God told the people in Jerusalem to not fight anymore, and to obey Nebuchadnezzar!

Of course, they rejected God’s words from his true prophet, and listened to Hananiah. So Nebuchadnezzar had to come and fight again, and now he took the king and queen and anybody who had any abilities and talents!

Now there is no one to lead an insurgence, and had to just farm the land and send the proceeds to Babylon. Basically, the Jews are all now in Babylon, but for a few farmers or shepherds. In other words, all of God’s words from His prophet came true! Imagine that!

This verse is explaining to us, that everything will play out exactly as Jesus tells us though His prophet. Don’t question, don’t doubt, and certainly, don’t fight! Amen? You will never win. If God tells us to do certain things by His prophet, follow them to the letter! Sure you can ignore or reject or fight, but you will lose. And while you lose, there will be famines and pestilences and droughts and wars to deal with. Meaning, all sorts of problems in your life.

Go ahead, deny the prophet’s words and silence him or her. Listen to anyone who tells you that you do not need to listen to or follow God’s prophet, and safely ignore those messages. See if that works out for you. Anybody who is reading Jeremiah, knows better.

Jesus is so patient and He will let us do whatever we want. But the bottom line is that what He says will come true! And in the meantime, you will deal with incredible amounts of suffering! Was your freedom and self-serving worth it?

Had the Jews listened to the prophet, and accepted God’s plan for them and obeyed, life would have been much better. Yes, they would leave their wonderful life behind, but there would be no other problems in their lives! In Babylon, there were no droughts, no famines, no pestilences, and no fighting! Was accepting and obeying, that terrible? Not from my perspective and not from Daniel and his friends either.

The words of God’s prophet, were trying to make the people’s lives better! If you listened to them, and followed them, your life was much more comfortable. Satan knew this, so he wanted all of God’s people to ignore, deny, or fight against these words! And he brought all kinds of pastors or false prophets or teachers, to insist that the people do not have to comply!

And when God brings them someone who tells them to certainly read and follow God’s prophet’s books and letters, oh man. They will attack, malign, and marginalize anybody like that! Amen? That person will be considered the enemy! When all they were doing was to help the people!

They didn’t want the people to suffer! They wanted them to have a better life! The ones who pay attention to this person will improve their lives, because they are finally listening to God, and He will bless them as a result! The rest, plan on them suffering and dying.

It’s so sad, but it is right here in Jeremiah! If they would only read, and learn. Jeremiah, was in Jerusalem. He obeyed his God! The Jews, were now in Babylon.

They are not marginalizing Jeremiah now. All they have is a letter from Jeremiah. God told him to write a letter to His people, so they could read and learn and improve their lives.

If only WE had letters, from God’s prophet, that we could read and learn and improve our lives! Hmmmm... How many Seventh-day Adventists are reading the nine volumes of Testimonies? Never mind, just a question.

All of God’s people were in Babylon now meaning the world. Still, He loves them. And He told His prophet, to send them a letter.

Are we getting this?
