A Word concerning Israel’s History (continued)

Morning revival verses

Day 1 / Monday

Jeremiah 1:5-8 Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; / And before you came forth from the womb, I sanctified you. / I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations. 6 Then I said, Alas, Lord Jehovah! / Indeed, I do not know how to speak, / For I am a youth. 7 But Jehovah said to me, / Do not say, I am a youth; / For everywhere I send you, you shall go; / And everything I command you, you shall speak. 8 Do not be afraid of their faces, / For I am with you to deliver you, declares Jehovah.

Jeremiah 1:19 And they will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you, declares Jehovah, to deliver you.

Day 2 / Tuesday

Jeremiah 37:15-17 And the princes were angry with Jeremiah and struck him and put him in prison, in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made it into a prison. 16 When Jeremiah came to the dungeon and to the cells, Jeremiah remained there many days. 17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, Thus says Jehovah the God of hosts, the God of Israel, If you will indeed surrender to the princes of the king of Babylon, you will live, and this city will not be burned with fire, and you and your house will live.

Jeremiah 38:18 But if you do not surrender to the princes of the king of Babylon, this city will be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they will burn it with fire, and you will not escape out of their hand.

Day 3 / Wednesday

Jeremiah 39:11-12 And Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon commanded concerning Jeremiah through Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard, saying, 12 Take him and look after him, and do no evil to him, but deal with him just as he tells you.

Jeremiah 40:4 And now I release you today from the chains which are on your hands. If it is good in your sight to come to Babylon with me, come, and I will look after you; but if it is evil in your sight to come with me to Babylon, let it be so. See, all the land is before you; wherever it is good and right in your sight to go, there go.

A Word concerning Israel’s History

Morning revival verses

Deuteronomy 32:46-47 And he said to them, Set your heart on all these words which I am testifying to you today. You shall command them to your children that they may be certain to do all the words of this law. 47 For it is not a matter too vain for you, because it is your life; and by this matter you will extend your days upon the land into which you are crossing over the Jordan to possess.

Day 5 / Friday

Deuteronomy 7:1-2 When Jehovah your God brings you into the land which you are about to enter to possess, and clears away many nations from before you–the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, the Jebusites, seven nations more numerous and mightier than you– 2 And Jehovah your God delivers them up before you and you defeat them, you shall utterly destroy them; you shall make no covenant with them, nor shall you show them any favor.

Deuteronomy 7:5 But you shall deal with them in this way: Their altars you shall tear down, their pillars you shall shatter, their Asherahs you shall hew down, and their idols you shall burn with fire.

Israel’s Sin against Jehovah and Jehovah’s Punishment upon Israel (2)

Morning revival verses

Day 1 / Monday

Jeremiah 3:6-9 Then Jehovah said to me in the days of Josiah the king, Have you seen what Israel the apostate has done? She went up on every high mountain and under every flourishing tree and committed fornication there. 7 And I said, After she has done all these things, she will return to Me; but she did not return, and her treacherous sister Judah saw it. 8 And I saw that because of all the adultery that Israel the apostate committed I divorced her and gave her a certificate of divorce, yet her sister Judah the treacherous did not fear but went and committed fornication also. 9 And because she treated her fornication lightly, she polluted the land and committed adultery with stones and trees.

Day 2 / Tuesday

Jeremiah 3:12-14 Go and proclaim these words to the north, and say, / Return, O Israel the apostate, declares Jehovah; / And I will not let My countenance fall toward you; / For I am merciful, declares Jehovah; / I will not keep My anger forever. 13 Only acknowledge your iniquity, / That you have transgressed against Jehovah your God / And have turned your ways here and there to strangers under every / flourishing tree, / And have not listened to My voice, declares Jehovah. 14 Return, O apostate children, declares Jehovah, for I am a Husband to you; and I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and will bring you to Zion.

Jeremiah 3:19 But I said, / How I will put you among the sons, / And give you a pleasant land, / An inheritance of the most ornate of the nations! / And I said, You will call Me, My Father, / And will not turn away from Me.

Day 3 / Wednesday

Jeremiah 3:16-17 And when you are multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, declares Jehovah, they will no longer say, The Ark of the Covenant of Jehovah! And it will not come to mind, nor will they remember it or visit it; and it will not be made again. 17 At that time they will call Jerusalem the throne of Jehovah, and all the nations will be gathered to it because the name of Jehovah is at Jerusalem; and they will no longer walk after the stubbornness of their evil heart.

John 5:39-40 You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these that testify concerning Me. 40 Yet you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.

Day 6 / Saturday

Romans 1:23 And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and reptiles.

Day 3 / Wednesday

Jeremiah 23:28-29 The prophet who has a dream, let him tell the dream; and he with whom is My word, let him speak My word faithfully. What is the straw to the grain? declares Jehovah. 29 Is not My word thus–like fire, declares Jehovah, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

Jeremiah 1:17-19 You therefore gird up your loins, and rise up and speak to them everything that I command you. Do not be dismayed before them, lest I dismay you in their presence. 18 And I am now making you today into a fortified city and into an iron pillar and into bronze walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land. 19 And they will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you, declares Jehovah, to deliver you.
