One of the errors of Nineveh was that they were very proud. The LORD says in Zephaniah that they "dwelt carelessly" and "said in her heart, I am, and there is none beside me." They rejoiced in this pride, thinking only of themselves, dwelling carelessly. The full verse says, "This is the rejoicing city that …

Decorating in Vain
How real is our individual faiths? Are there any superficial decorations upon our faith? There is a passage in Zephaniah, speaking of the judgment of Nineveh, which speaks of this. It says, "And He will stretch out His hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like a …
A Poor Deliverer
During The Day of The LORD, no amount of wealth will be able to help. No one will have a store of food large enough, a shelter deep enough, wealth vast enough. In fact, God says that money will do absolutely no good in the Day, "when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth." [Isa …

Doomed Construction
For those of us who are Christians, we are sojourning in a strange land. That land is this world. It is good for us to keep in mind that this world is not our home. Just as the saints of old, "desire[d] a better country, that is, an heavenly," [Heb 11:16] so we do as …
Sojourning in Sin
We should not be sojourning in a place which is destined for judgment. The Psalms say, "Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!" Kedar is a place whereupon The LORD pronounced judgment. He said, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all …
Drinking From the Mountain
In Jeremiah, The LORD uses a few different analogies to show how His people have forsaken Him or forgotten Him. One of these, though we will not view it in detail today, is found in chapter two. The LORD says, "can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? Yet My people have …
Three Things to Avoid
In the book of Jeremiah, The LORD mentions three things which are "horrible." From these we find warnings which are even applicable to us and our culture today. The people had itching ears. False prophets which proclaimed "peace, peace" abounded, and though it was false, the people loved it. "A wonderful and horrible thing is …
Obedient in War
The phrase "be sure your sin will find you out" is fairly recognizable. We take it to mean that when we sin, we cannot remain hidden - it will be found out. The results of the sin, the consequences, or God Himself, will see to it that we cannot just continue sinning. And this is …
Avoid the World’s Hire
When trouble comes, to our lives or to our nation, what we have hired out of the world isn't going to help us. Everything that we have bought or put effort into in an attempt to remain safe, healthy, happy, wealthy, etc… those things will be like, as The LORD points out through Jeremiah, "bullocks …
