Chapter 7So chapter 7. King Josiah, who was reigning at the beginning of Jeremiah's ministry, in the eighteenth year of his reign, ordered the temple restored. It had fallen into disrepair. It sort of lay in ruins. They had in the outer courts built altars unto Baal and unto Molech, and they had forsaken the worship of God, of the Lord in the temple for years. So Josiah now ordered that the temple be restored and he gave to Hilkiah, the high priest, a great sum of money that he might hire... read more
Jeremiah 7:2 . Stand in the gate of the Lord’s house, and call the people to repentance by arguments arrayed in all the glory and force of truth. This was the chief gate of entrance. The temple had three gates on the north, and three on the south. The character of these addresses, Dr. Dahler thinks, associate with the degenerate times of Jehoiakim. Jeremiah 7:4 . Trust ye not in lying words, muttered daily by the false prophets, saying, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord,... read more
Jeremiah 7:1-7Stand in the gate . . . and proclaim.Boldness in preachingSome preachers are traders from port to port, following the customary and approved course; others adventure over the whole ocean of human concerns. The former are hailed by the common voice of the multitude, whose cause they hold, the latter blamed as idle, often suspected of hiding deep designs, always derided as having lost all guess of the proper course. Yet, of the latter class of preachers was Paul the apostle. Such... read more
Jeremiah 7:5If ye thoroughly amend. Thorough amendment1. Religion has to do with character and conduct. Religion is that which “binds,” and it has a tremendous grip. It has to do not only with creeds, and forms, and rites, but with character and conduct.2. Religion makes little of mere emotion. Some persons delight in the excitation of the sensibilities. The Master’s word is, “If ye love Me, keep My commandments.” This is the proof of genuine love. The mother takes her boy’s kiss as a sign of... read more
Jeremiah 7:9-10Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely . . . and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? Fate“It is my fate,” is the excuse for many a career of shame and sin. I do not think that most persons who practically rest satisfied with this explanation of the evil of their lives put it actually into words. They are content with a vague undefined feeling that some excuse or explanation of the sort is possible. Perhaps we should all escape many perils... read more
Jeremiah 7:13I spake unto you, rising up early.God’s call to sinnersI. A gracious call. We are utterly undeserving of it. Though we are transgressors, guilty, corrupt, depraved,--yet God calls upon us--to escape--to live--to be saved--to turn unto Him, and be forever blest and happy.II. An affectionate call. The call of a merciful Creator who hath no pleasure in the death and destruction of His fallen creatures: and would rather they should repent and live; the call of a tender Father, who... read more
Jeremiah 7:16Pray not thou for this people.Intercessory prayer forbidden1. God’s prophets are praying men.2. God’s praying prophets have a great interest in heaven, how little soever they have on earth.3. It is an ill omen to a people when God restrains the spirits of His ministers and people from praying for those condemned.4. Those that will not regard good ministers’ preaching cannot expect any benefit by their praying. If you will not hear us when we speak from God to you, God will not hear... read more
