Read Ezekiel 8-12

“Therefore, I indeed will deal in wrath. My eye will have no pity nor will I spare; and though they cry in My ears with a loud voice, yet I will not listen to them.” Ezekiel 8:18 For the next 4 Chapters, Ezekiel recounts his 2nd vision. Here in Chapter 8 he deals with the […]

Read Ezekiel 5-7

“The slain will fall among you, and you will know that I am the Lord.” Ezekiel 6:7 This Phrase, “you will know that I am the Lord”; God uses it 32 times in Ezekiel! Without any doubt, this Judgement came on them for this purpose. God had chosen them as His People, they rejected Him

Read Ezekiel 1-4

“And when I saw it, I fell on my face and heard a voice speaking.” Ezekiel 1:28b Today’s Verse was Ezekiel’s reaction to the Vision he records earlier. If you’re familiar with it, you know it’s unlike anything else in the Bible. But the description is not as important as the reaction. He “falls on

Read Lamentations 3-5

“This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. The Lord’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail.” Lamentations 3:21-22 Sandwiched between 4 very depressing Chapters comes Chapter 3. It is Jeremiah’s Prayer.

Read Lamentations 1-2

If you consider that during Bible times there was no middle class (you were either wealthy or poor) this contrast takes on

Read Jeremiah 51-52

“All mankind is stupid, devoid of knowledge;” Jeremiah 51:17a In Today’s Chapter, God is describing His creating and controlling power over all things, then makes this statement about Mankind. He does this as He sees Man resorting to the creation of Idols and Images, and then trusting in them for help and deliverance; all of

Read Jeremiah 49-50

“They will ask for the way to Zion, turning their faces in its direction; they will come that they may join themselves to the Lord in an everlasting covenant that will not be forgotten.” Jeremiah 50:5 As Jeremiah comes to a close, we have a promise of Israel’s future; their return to their former kingdom.

Read Jeremiah 45-48

“But as for you, O Jacob My servant, do not fear,” Jeremiah 46:27a In the last chapters of Jeremiah, God declares various Judgements coming to the Nations. Beginning with Egypt and ending with Babylon, the message is utter Doom and Gloom. But in the midst of these are several verses of Hope and Safety given
