The prophet Jeremiah took a “millstone” and bound it to his book. After he had read it, he cast it into the Euphrates River river as a sign and token of the destruction of old Babylon (Jeremiah 51:63). Likewise, the "millstone" thrown into the sea by the mighty angel (v. 21) expresses the sheer violence, force and power that will destroy Babylon leaving no possibility of ever recovering.

Jeremiah wrote to Israel in exile that they should pray for the peace and prosperity of Babylon -Jeremiah 29-4-7-, quite in contrast to the feelings of the Jewish people in Psalm 137.--However, now that God's purpose for the violent, hateful Babylonian empire is about to be fulfilled, in 597 BC Jeremiah sends a scroll with an official of Judah's last king, Zedekiah -Jeremiah 51-59-61-. That scroll is a curse on Babylon- it was not only to be spoken out loud, it was also accompanied by a curse ritual -Jeremiah 51-62-63-.--The angry cravings for revenge of Psalm 137 are also a prayer. God uses that prayer and Jeremiah's curse to destroy Babylon by the Medes and Persians in 539 BC.--Living as pilgrims from our true homeland -Hebrews 12-22- Galatians 4-24-31-, we must follow the counsel of Deuteronomy 32-35 as it is fleshed out in the New Testament in Romans 12-14-20.--We must be kind to our enemies -Proverbs 25-21-22-, trusting our sovereign God to right all wrongs -2 Thessalonians 1-5-10---As we await our Lord's return, we are confident he will always be with us and bless us because he died for our sins -1 Corinthians 15-3- Hebrews 13-5-.

Today's Scripture: Jeremiah 29:1-14 Main idea: God has redeemed a people to serve their place/city by seeking it's shalom that He might redeem the world. “This was after King Jeconiah and the queen mother, the eunuchs, the officials of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the metal workers had departed from Jerusalem.” (Jeremiah 29:2) I. God has placed you in this city at this time. “These are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the surviving elders of the exiles, and to the priests, the prophets, and all the people, whom Nebuchadnezzar had taken into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.” (Jeremiah 29:1) “Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon:” (Jeremiah 29:4) “But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile.” (Jeremiah 29:7a) “I will be found by you, declares the LORD, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the LORD, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.” (Jeremiah 29:14) II. God has placed you here to settle not assimilate. “Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease (5-6).” (Jeremiah 29:5-6) III. God has placed us here for the city's welfare/shalom. “But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.” (Jeremiah 29:7) “…the whole law is fulfilled in one word: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'” (Galatians 5:14) “…I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.” (Jeremiah 29:14)

A family’s prayer time ended with a surprising announcement one morning. As soon as Dad said, “Amen,” five-year-old Kaitlyn proclaimed, “And I prayed for Logan, because he had his eyes open during prayer.” I’m pretty sure praying for your 10-year-old brother’s prayer protocol isn’t what Scripture has in mind when it calls us to intercessory prayer, but at least Kaitlyn realized that we can pray for others. Bible teacher Oswald Chambers emphasized the importance of praying for someone else. He said that “intercession is putting yourself in God’s place; it is having His mind and perspective.” It’s praying for others in light of what we know about God and His love for us. We find a great example of intercessory prayer in Daniel 9. The prophet understood God’s troubling promise that the Jews would have seventy years of captivity in Babylon (Jeremiah 25:11–12). Realizing that those years were nearing their completion, Daniel went into prayer mode (Daniel 9:4). He referenced God’s commands (vv. 5–6), he humbled himself (v. 8), he confessed sin (v. 15), he honored God’s character (v. 9), and he depended on His mercy as he prayed for his people (v. 18). And he got an immediate answer from God (v. 21). Not all prayer ends with such a dramatic response, but be encouraged that we can to go to God on behalf of others with an attitude of trust and dependence on Him.
MY ETHNICITY IS BDU…. I BLEED RED WHITE AND BLUE.MY COMMANDER AND CHIEF AND BOSS IS MY LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS.MY MISSION IS GOD DUTY HONOR COUNTRY I HAVE MANY BROTHER AND SISTERS OF MANY ETHNICITY BACKGROUNDS FROM ALL BRANCHES OF THE ARMED FORCES: IF YOU DO NOT KNOW ME, I'M A MILITARY VETERAN AND WE HAVE MANY ACTIVE-DUTY SOLDIERS AND VETERANS THAT RESPECT IN HONOR CHRIST. I' M A VETERAN FOR CHRIST: NOW YOU ARE TREATING MANY OF US LIKE DIRT VETTING US AS A THREAT: MANY DIED DEFENDING THE COUNTRY WE LOVE: WE CHOSE TO PROTECT AND SERVE OUR COUNTRY WHILE MANY LEADERS CHOSE TO IGNORE THE THREAT WITHIN OUR SYSTEM ALLOWING CROSSING OF OUR BORDERS, SOCIAL DISTANCING GUIDELINES IGNORE BY THE POWERFUL: AKA FLOUTING Still, I will respect the leaders and continue to pray for them for this is the will of God. flout past tense: flouted; past participle: flouted openly disregard (a rule, law or convention). Yes, there are instances in God's word in reference to flouting and turning away from God: Pray for our leaders Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 2:1–4, “I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.” God told the Israelites in exile to pray for Babylon: “Seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper” (Jeremiah 29:7). Romans 13:1 says, “Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.” Paul requested prayer “for all the Lord's people” and for himself that he would speak the gospel boldly (Ephesians 2:18–20). "What are the consequences of nations turning away from God?" Answer: Psalm 33:12 says, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!” The psalmist is speaking of the nation of Israel. God chose Israel as the nation through which He would bring His promised Messiah (Deuteronomy 18:15; Malachi 4:5–6; Isaiah 7:14–16). He promised to provide, bless, and protect the Israelites if they followed Him. But the Old Testament gives us heartbreaking details of what happened when they turned away from Him (Ezekiel 5; 20:8; Isaiah 1). Israel's history shows us some of the consequences that can befall a nation when its people turn away from God. No other nation on earth will ever have the position that Israel has in God's grand plan. It would be a mistake to “claim” many of the specific promises that God made to Israel because they were for a specific time and purpose. For example, nations today are not promised bumper crops and healthy livestock if they obey the Mosaic Law (see Deuteronomy 28:4); that promise was for Israel under the Old Covenant in the Promised Land—the blessing was specifically tied to the land of Israel (verse 11). But many of the general principles found in Scripture are applicable to everyone. We can learn from Israel's history what generally to expect when nations honor the Lord and what generally to expect when they rebel against His commands. As long as the Israelites honored the Lord, destroyed idol temples, and kept God's commandments, the Lord was actively involved in their defense when other nations fought against them. Exodus 14 is the first example of the Lord as Defender for the newly formed nation of Israel. As Moses led the people out of Egypt, Pharaoh and his armies raced after them. The people were terrified and began to doubt whether Moses knew what he was doing. But then “Moses answered the people, ‘Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still'” (Exodus 14:13–14). What followed was the miraculous parting of the Red Sea (verses 21–22). In contrast to this miraculous intervention, the Bible gives us examples of God refusing to intervene when destruction came upon Israel. Second Kings, beginning in chapter 24, details the end of God's blessing in Israel. God's chosen people had defied the Lord, built idol temples, and filled their lives with fornication, murder, and adultery. They had desecrated the temple and ignored the Law for generations. God sent prophets to call them to repentance, but they would not listen and often killed those messengers (Luke 11:27–28). The Lord had warned them repeatedly, and, when they refused to listen, He sent judgment in the form of invaders who took them captive and destroyed their cities (2 Kings 24:12–14). The once-great nation had been brought low and lost the blessings God desired to give it. The general principle we learn from this is that sin brings negative consequences. Galatians 6:7 is God's warning to individuals and to nations that He will not be mocked. We reap what we sow. Many nations of antiquity are nonexistent now, having brought God's judgment upon themselves for their sin. Edom (Jeremiah 49:17–22), Assyria (Zephaniah 2:13–15), Sodom (Genesis 18:20), and Babylon (Jeremiah 51) were all wiped out, according to the biblical prophets, for their evil before the Lord. There remain no representatives of the Hittites (Exodus 23:23), Moabites (Zephaniah 2:8–10), or Philistines (Zephaniah 2:5) due to their stubborn rebellion against the Lord. God blessed Israel in prospering them when the people honored Him. God had brought them into a land that was “flowing with milk and honey” (Numbers 14:8). When they obeyed Him, He promised to provide all they needed and to protect their lives (Exodus 23:25–26). He cared that they lived peacefully and happily (1 Kings 4:25; Psalm 29:11; Proverbs 19:23). He commanded them to honor His Sabbaths so that they would have rest (Leviticus 19:30). But, when Israel followed wicked kings into idolatry and harlotry, God sent famines and pestilence on the land that He loved (Ezekiel 5:17). We learn from this that the Lord delights in prospering His loyal servants (Psalm 25:12–13; Proverbs 13:21). Material wealth is not proof that God is blessing a nation since evil kings and countries prosper too. But, when we honor the Lord and obey His commands, we reap the benefits of living honorably, morally, and honestly. A nation that honors God's laws reaps that benefit as well. History shows that those that do not are often destroyed from within. God gives us His laws for our own good. He created us to fellowship with Him and walk-in righteousness. When we do that, we are living within the healthy boundaries He established and are protected from much of the heartache and catastrophe Satan devises. But, when a nation turns away from the true God and becomes its own god, the Lord removes His protective hand and allows that nation to experience the world it has demanded. Romans 1:18–32 shows us the progression of people and nations that have defied God and redefined morality. Homosexuality, unbridled lust, and idolatry are all part of God's judgment on a nation that has turned away from Him. The good news is that God knows those who are His and promises to reward them, even when all others have turned away. Malachi 3:13–18 contains one of the most comforting passages in the Old Testament. It reminds us that God is watching, He knows all, and He will judge righteously. Even when a nation turns away from God, individuals within that nation can still follow Him and know that their names are written in God's book of remembrance.

Biblical Study While Living with Coronavirus, lesson 4. This is Palm Sunday and this week, Mark weaves together 3 strands of thought: 1. Jewish Exile in Babylon: Jeremiah: 29:1-14. The people had to live through the crisis. 2. Palm Sunday: The Sunday before Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. Zach 9. & John 12:12-16. Many people looked for a king who’d free them from the tyranny of the Romans, not save them from their sins. Through both of these times, we see God’s message to keep going because He is at work and will bring good out of a bad situation. 3. Corona Pandemic: The same three points that applied to those times also apply to the current Corona Pandemic: We must 1. Keep Going recognizing 2. God is at work and that 3. God brings good out of every bad situation.
Thank you for listening to God’s message as given by Bro. Jason Mull. We hope this blesses you and furthers your understanding of the word. John 14:6 tells us that Jesus is the only way to the Father. I pray that you make that decision today before it is everlasting too late. God bless you.

Proper 23, October 13, 2019 Disciples Make the Best of “Babylon” Jeremiah 29:1, 4-7 Theme: Redeem our current circumstances. Key Passage: “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat what they produce. Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease. But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.” (Jeremiah 29:4-7)
Peace (shalom) is the heart of God. Justice is the mission of Christ. It is the advocacy for and execution of justice in society that allows for true peace and wellbeing (shalom) within creation. The two are not mutually exclusive. Jeremiah gives the people of God hope while they are in exile in Babylon (Jeremiah 29:11). Isaiah (Isaiah 58) confronts the people of God because their fasting (worship) doesn't match their actions (injustice). When we know justice we'll know the peace of God.

Tonight Jason wraps up the series by looking at the lives of the Jewish exiles in Babylon (Jeremiah 29:4-11). God called these people to seek and pray for peace and prosperity for the city. Likewise, God is calling us to do the same. God works His Kingdom in us so he can work His kingdom through us - we are called bring who we are to wherever we are on earth.

In light of the election results we've seen and heard of responses born out of anger and fear. We've heard of reports of blatant racist encounters across the country. How should the church respond to bring light to this seemingly dark and chaotic season? We look at Jeremiah's letter to the Israelites in exile in Babylon (Jeremiah 29:4-7) for a hint of how we ought to respond today.
Jeremiah finds himself repeating his prophecies, it would seem that his audience were refusing to listen to him. www.legana.org
