Jeremiah was right, and the message was from God. Not only did this ruin Jeremiah's credibility, but it got him arrested and put in prison.īut you know what? The Chaldeans did come and burn the city, just as God had said. Immediately after giving that message, though, the Chaldeans packed up and left (see Jeremiah 37:11). It's all bogus." Jeremiah gave God's message to Judah and warned them that the end was near.

At that time the nation was saying "Oh, I'm not going to worry about the Chaldeans. In Jeremiah 37:6-10, God told Jeremiah that the Chaldeans were going to come against Jerusalem and burn the city with fire. Notice, too, how Christ clearly predicted that people would start to think that His return had been delayed, and would use that as an excuse for sin. After all, he's not going to catch me." Christ is warning against that dangerous line of thinking. That means I have plenty of time to go back into sin.

It would be easy to start thinking "Maybe Christ isn't coming back as soon as we thought. Luke 12:45-46: "But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers."

There are two passages of Scripture that I think we may also want to be thinking about.
