JEREMIAH 16:18
18)And first I will
recompense their iniquity
and their sin double;
because they have defile
my land, they have filled
mine inheritance with the
carcasses of their
detestable and
abomination thing
I WILL RECOMPENSE
THEIR INIQUITY AND
SIN DOUBLE
I will recompense their
iniquity double, Sin is
twofold; the punishment
foretold is but retribution
for their sins, because
they have defiled the land
by idolatry, they shall be
driven out of it, because
they have profaned My 
land with the carcasses of
their detestable things,
their lifeless and hateful
idols, and the land filled
with abomination, GOD
will punish them
according to their sins
MICAH 1:3
3)For, behold, the LORD
cometh forth out of his
place, and will come
down, and tread upon the
high place of the earth
FOR BEHOLD THE
LORD COMETH FORTH
OUT HIS PLACE
The LORD who judge the
world, whose Holy
majesty you have
provoked to displeasure,
who is a jealous GOD,
and have the almighty
power, He comes forth as
a Judge prepared to hear
determine and punish ,
now when GOD, who is in
all the palaces at all
times, is said to come
forth, it is not meant of
Him leaving a place
where he was not to
come to a place where,
understood of His
discovering His presence
by some effects of it,
OUT OF HIS PLACE:
heaven, the place of His
glorious throne
COME DOWN :shows by 
the effect of His power,
justice, and wisdom that
He is more eminently
present , and tread upon
the high places of the
earth, which are His
footstool, built on
mountains, and all other
high towers and fortified
places, together with men
of high look and haughty
countenances, who exalt
themselves like
mountains and swell with
pride; which were the
cause of the LORD’S
wrath and vengeance,
these the LORD can
easily subdue and
humbled, bring low and
tread down
JEREMIAH 25:4-11
PROFESY OF THE
LAND
4) And the LORD hath
sent unto you all his
servants and prophets,
rising early and sending
them; but ye have not
hearkened, nor inclined
your ear to hear
5)They said, turn ye again
now every one from his 
evil way, and from the evil
of your doings and dwell
in the land that the LORD
hath given unto you and
to your fathers for ever
and ever
6)And go not after other
gods to serve them,, and
to worship them,, and
provoke me not to anger
with the works of your
hands and I will do you no
hurt
7) yet you have not
hearkened unto me , saith
the LORD; that ye might
provoke me to anger with
the work of your hands to
your own hurt
8)Therefore thus saith the
LORD of hosts; because
ye have not heard my
words
9)Behold, I will send and
take all the families of the
North, saith the LORD,
and Nebuchadnezzar the
king of Babylon, my
servant, and will bring
them against this land
and against the inhabitant
thereof, and against all
these nations round 
about, and will utterly
destroy them, and make
them an, astonishment,
and a hissing, and
perpetual desolations
Down through the years,
the LORD sent prophets
after prophets to the
people, but the people
refused to listen to
GOD”S servants, the
prophet message was
one of repentance, if they
would turn away from
their evil ways, and serve
the LORD, GOD they 
would continue and stay
in the promise land , if
they would turn everyone
away from their idol
worship, the creation of
their own imagination the
work of their hands, by
worshiping images, which
their hand has made,
which provoke the LORD
and as long as they
served and worshipped
GOD only, he will protect
and defend them, but
when they forsook the
LORD, and went after
other gods, and served
and worshipped them,
then they were threatened
to be turned out of their
land, and carried away
captives into other land,
the sinful actions of men
do not affect or injure the
almighty GOD, but are to
the hurt of those who do
them and brought
destruction on
themselves, for whatever
is against the glory of
GOD is hurt to man.
Yet despite this wonderful
offer of salvation and 
deliverance, the people
shut their ears, they
would not listen and paid
no attention whatsoever
to GOD”S word
THEREFORE THUS
SAITH THE LORD
Due to the people’s
spiritual deafness, GOD’S
hand of judgment would
fall heavily upon them,
they would be conquered
by Babylon, exiled
throughout the
Babylonian Empire, and
suffer a seventy-years
captivity, the LORD will
use King
Nebuchadnezzar the king
of Babylon as his agent of
judgment, which GOD
called His Servant, not
that he is righteous man,
but rather that GOD was
using him as a servant to
execute His justice and
judgment on earth, that
is , GOD appointed
Nebuchadnezzar to
destroy Judah and all the
surrounding nations, is
the LORD’S doing, and
will utterly, destroy them, 
and make them an
astonishment, and an
hissing, and perpetual
desolation both the Jews
and their neighbors,
remain even desolate for
a long time, even till the
seventy years, Judah and
the other nations would
be utterly devastated and
become a wasteland
EZEKIEL 6:11-14
11)Thus saith the LORD
GOD smite with thine
hand, and stamp with
thine hand, and stamp
with thy foot, and say,
alas for all the evil
abominations of the
house of Israel! For they
shall fall by the sword, by
the famine, and by the
pestilence
12) He that is far of shall
die of the pestilence; and
he that is near shall fall by
the sword; and he that
remaineth and is
besieged shall die by the
famine; thus, will I
accomplish My fury upon
them
13)Then shall ye know
that I am the LORD, when 
their slain men shall be
among their idols round
about their altars, upon
every high hill, in all the
tops of the mountains,
and under every green
tree, and under every
thick oaks, the place
where they did offer
sweet savor to all their
idols
14)So will I stretch out My
hand upon them, and
make the Land desolate,
yea, more desolate than
the wilderness towards
Dib-lath, in all their
habitations; and they shall
know that I am the LORD
Thus saith the LORD
GOD, smite with thine
hand, and stamp with thy
foot, here are two actions,
signifying a mixture of
affection in the person,
as wonder and
amazement, indignation
and displeasure, grief and
sorrow, pity and sympathy
to show both evil of sin he
did and the evil of
suffering which he did
foreseen , GOD has
reason for executing
judgment upon false
worshiper who are
idolatrous but also
wicked, they have
disobeyed every
commandment the LORD
has given them, their 
detestable sin, had
inevitably aroused His
Holy displeasure, to
demonstrate GOD’S
anger, He instructed His
prophet to clap his hands
and stamp, these are
gesture of person in
distress and agony, who,
to show their trouble and
grief, smite one hand
against the other, or smite
with the hand upon the
thighs throw out their feet;
stamp them and beat
them on the earth.
And say alas, for the evil
abomination, mourning
and lamentation explains
the above gestures;
namely the sins and
abominations committed,
since the heaviest
judgment is coming, the
people had to pay the
penalty of their sins;
consequently, in furry and
horror they will die by
plague, that flies from the
enemy into the
wilderness, the plague
shall seize him and he
shall die of that, there is 
no fleeing from GOD, and
escaping from His hand;
when He resolved to
punish sin He will execute
them with His wrath, and
he that is near shall fall by
the sword, shall be slain
by the sword, and he that
remain, and is besieged,
shall die by famine and
GOD’S judgment would
be inescapable , His
judgment will fall on those
who were both far away
and near and give full
measure of judgment.
When GOD,S hand falls
upon false worshippers
and worship centers upon
the hill, in all the top of the
mountain, under green
trees, and under thick
oak, the place where
they did offer sweet savor
to all their idols where
they committed their
idolatry, which is the
usual place of worship
and denied, by serving
other gods; but now by
those punishments their
eyes would be opened to
see, and to acknowledge, 
that there was no GOD
but the LORD .
So will I stretch out My
hand upon them, in a way
of judgment , the LORD
will vindicate His name,
He alone is GOD, all so
called gods are false, they
are figment of people
imaginations there is only
one GOD, there is no
other GOD the very
essence , energy, source
of life, and force of being,
the GOD alone, our
creator, the sovereign
LORD and majesty of the
universe , the judgment
upon His people will
vindicate His name as
only the living and the
true GOD before all false
worshipers, and make the
land desolate; by
destroying the inhabitants
and there is no escaping
his mighty hand , in the
last day people will know
that JESUS is LORD
EZEKIEL 14: 13-16
13) Son of man, when the
land sinneth against Me
by trespassing grievously,
then will I stretch out mine 
hand upon it, and will
break the staff of the
bread thereof, and will
send famine upon it, and
will cut off man and beast
form it
14)Though these three
men, Noah Daniel, and
Job, were in it, they
should deliver but their
own souls by their
righteousness, saith the
LORD GOD
15) If I cause noisome
beats to pass through the
land, and they spoil it, so
that it be desolate, that no
man may pass through
because of the beasts
16)though these three
men were in it, as I live,
saith the LORD GOD,
they shall deliver neither
sons nor daughters; they
only shall be delivered,
but the land shall be
desolate
SON OF MAN WHEN
THE LAND SINNETH
AGAINST ME BY
TRESPASSING
 
When the Land sinneth
against Me by trespassing
grievously that is , the
inhabitants of the land,
when they are in general
become sinners against
GOD and His law, and not
merely sinner, but
notorious sinner, guilty of
very gross outrages , of
great distortion ,
deceitfulness , people
who sin so much that they
arose GOD to strike the
Land with severe famine,
and will break the staff of
the bread therefore, take
away bread corn from the
Nation, the support of
human life, GOD is Holy
and just all people and
Nation must give an
account to GOD for their
behavior, all unrighteous
people and Nation will
face GOD condemnation
in the day of Judgment,
just as GOD will shower
the righteous with His
loving kindness and
mercy, GOD will pour out
His holy judgment on all
the unrighteous by 
sending famine upon it,
by causing a drought,
restraining rain sending
decay, locusts,
caterpillars to eat up the
fruit of the earth
The first case involves
people who sin so much
that they arose GOD to
strike the Land with a
severe famine out totally
cut the nation’s food
supply, and both people
and animal starve , when
the people of a nation sin
enough to cause GOD’S
hand of judgment to fall,
with such severity, even
the most righteous people
in society will not be able
to save them, when I
stretch out My hand and
cause it to fall heavily, so
much to cause men to
feel it, GOD’S hand of
judgment,
THOUGH THESE THREE
MEN NOAH DANIEL
AND JOB WERE IN IT
Even if Noah, Daniel, and
Job were delivered from
the ruin which who, for
their integrity, their 
righteousness could not
stop GOD’S hand of
judgment from falling
upon the wicked though
these thee men were,
Noah who trusted GOD
and lived so righteously
that GOD delivered him
from the flood, GEN.6:9-
29, Daniel trusted GOD
and lived so righteously
that GOD delivered him
from the lion’s den
DAN.6:1-28, Job trusted
GOD and lived so
righteously that GOD
delivered him through
some of the most horrible
suffering Job 1:1, 2:3,
even as these three men
truly trusted and lived for
GOD, their faith and
righteousness could save
only themselves, they
could not save any one
else, as we can see in the
case of Sodom, where
there was none righteous
but Lot and his family
those just person were
saved
IF I CAUSE NOISOME
BEASTS TO PASS 
THROUGH THE LAND
The second case involves
a people who sin so
much that they arose
GOD to send an invasion
of wild animals evil and
hurtful ones; not so much
those that are poisonous
such as lions tiger, foxes,
wolves and bears that are
very ravenous and
devouring , and especially
in a time of famine, make
use of lesser creature to
do damage to the land,
with much danger, having
neither men or cattle, corn
all being destroyed by
evil beast, that no man
may pass though
because of the beasts,
not only the inhabitants of
the land should be
destroyed and be a
desolate place .
Though if these three
men Noah, Daniel and
Job but if all three had
been in a land involves a
people who sin so much
that they arose GOD
anger when GOD judges
the wicked , is only the 
righteous that can be
saved in the land, the
land and its wicked
citizens will still suffer
GOD’S hand of judgment

GOD, they shall deliver

OR IF I BRING A
SWORD UPON THAT
LAND
Or if I bring a sword upon
that land, the land which
has grievously sinned;
GOD He is the LORD of
host and hath the militia
of all the world in His
hand, if the LORD should
suffer a foreign enemy to
come in among them, and
destroy them with the
sword , He can raise war,
and send enemies to
invade the Land, what
land soever it be, hereby
alluding to us of his
overruling power,
wisdom , justice, and
sovereignty , so that GOD
can Cut off men in war,
the sword has its
commission from GOD,
the invading army is from
the LORD that the sword
go through the land, not 
only enter the borders of
it, but even go through it,
which is terrible indeed
and if the LORD bid it to
go it must go and
punctually obeys his
commands so that I cut
off man and beast from
the land by the sword
passing through the land
The Righteousness of the
GODLY will not Avert the
judgment, the threat
contained in the
preceding word of GOD,
that if the idolaters did not
repent, GOD would not
answer them in any other
way than with an
exterminating punishment
and judgment are
supposed to come upon
the land and lay it waste
that even righteous men
such as Noah, Daniel and
Job would only save their
own souls and not that of
the sinners, a people
who sin so much that they
arose GOD to judge the
land through war, when
GOD judges the wicked
the presence of the 
righteous will not stop
GOD’S hand of
judgment , even if the
faith of the righteous is as
strong as that of Noah,
Daniel and Job, they will
not be able to save any
one else, not even their
own children, only the
righteous themselves will
be saved
The fourth case involves
a people who sin so much
that they arose GOD to
send a plague an
epidemic of diseases
pestilence as indicating its
death-bearing is joined
with the blood, by
corrupting the blood in
slaying great number of
persons by diseases as a
token of fury and wrath
because of their
transgression , because
of shedding of innocent
blood GOD’S arrow that
flies from GOD’S bow
throughout the land, just
again when GOD begins
to execute judgment,
even those as righteous
as Noah, Daniel and job, 
will not be able to save
anyone other than
themselves will be saved,
not even their own
children, GOD will credit
their righteousness only
to themselves
Since the present
generation was so
wicked, they could expect
nothing but the weightiest
of judgments, GOD said
He will send four terrifying
judgments the sword,
famine, wild animals and
plague, the people
deserved GOD’S
judgment because of their
horrible wickedness

way was before me as the
uncleanness of a
removed woman
18) Wherefore I poured
my fury upon them for the
blood that they shed upon
the land, and for their
idols wherewith they had 
polluted it
The people are guilty of
defiling the Holy land, the
land abounding with good
things rendered it
abominable before GOD,
and uncomfortable to
themselves, by the way of
their own choice, their
ways and doing wicked
way, forsaking the laws,
their idolatrous practice
despising the
counsel ,down through 
the centuries , they had
broken GOD’S
commandments and lived
lives that were as filthy as

covered the land with
blood and image of false
gods, because of their
sins, he separated them
and removed them out of
the land, as not fit to be in
His presence, nor to live
there

BEFORE ME AS
UNCLEANNESS OF
AREMOVED WOMAN
As a woman under a legal
pollution was forbidden to
come within as one
excommunicated , and
cut off from the
congregrassion , because
of some great sin, their
filthiness of spiritual
whoredom,
Wherefore I poured My
fury on them, like a
mighty flood that carries
all before it, for the blood
they had shed upon the
land; the innocent blood,
the blood of righteous 
men, that opposed and
reproved them for their
sinful ways; the blood of
the prophets, that were
sent to warn them of their
idols wherewith they had
polluted it , GOD was
angry with them, and the
effects of His anger were
such as made the Land
and cities desolate

15) And the LORD, GOD
of their fathers sent to
them by his messengers,
rising up betimes, and
sending; because he had
compassion on His
people, and on His
dwelling place
16)But they mocked the
messengers of GOD, and
despised His words, and
misused his prophets until
the wrath of the LORD
arose against his people,
till there was no remedy
17)Therefore he brought
upon them the king of
Chaldees, who slew their
young men with the sword
in the house of their
sanctuary , and had no
compassion upon young
man or maiden, old man,
or him that stooped for
age; he gave them all into
his hand
18)And all the vessels of
the house of GOD, great
and small, and the
treasures of the house of
the LORD, and the
treasures of the king and
his princes; all these he
brought to Babylon
19) And they burnt the
house of the GOD, and
brake down the wall of
Jerusalem, and burnt all
the palaces thereof with
fire, and destroyed all the
goodly vessels thereof
20)And then that had
escaped from the sword
carried he away to
Babylon; where they were
servants to him and his
sons until the reign of the
kingdom of Persia
21)To fulfill the word of
the LORD by the mouth of
Jeremiah, until the land
had enjoyed her
Sabbaths, for as long as
she lay desolate, she kept 
sabbath, to fulfill
threescore and ten years
First the people became
increasingly unfaithful to
the LORD, committing
one vile sin after another,
instead of being witness
for the LORD they
followed the shameful,
detestable practice of
unbelievers, they become
false worshipers, they
adopted unrighteous
lifestyle of immoral,
unjust, and lawless way of
life, they defile the
Temple of the LORD by
instituting false worship,
they followed the wicked
behavior of unbelievers
and neighboring nations.
And the LORD of their
fathers sent to them by
his messengers, the 
compassion upon young
man or maiden, old man,
or him that stooped for
age; he gave them all into
his hand
18)And all the vessels of

the LORD by the mouth of
Jeremiah, until the land
had enjoyed her
Sabbaths, for as long as
she lay desolate, she kept 
them, till their was no
remedy; or healing of
them; there was no
reclaiming or recovering
of them, no bringing them
to repentance, and no
pardon for them
HE BROUGHT UPON
THEM THE KING OF
THE CHALDEES
NEBUCHNEZZAR
When the moral
corruption had reached
this height, judgment
broke upon , them GOD
brought upon them ,the
king of the Chaldeans,
who slew their young men
with the sword in their
sanctuary in the Temple
and spared not the young
men with the sword , the
maiden, the old man and
grey-headed, he gave
everything into his hand
the Lord delivered them
into the hand of the King
of Babylon, for their sins
to be carried captives into
Chaldees
ALL THE TREASURES
OF THE KING AND
PRINCE

poor person left to till the
land,

SABBATHS
Until the land had enjoyed
her Sabbaths, had been
neglected by the Jews the
Sabbatical years, or
seventh year sabbath,
which, according to the
law of the land, was to
rest from being tilled
LEVITICUS 25:4, which
law had been neglected 
by the Jews, and now
whether they would or
not, the land should have
rest for want of persons to
till it, the return of every
seventh year was to be
held as a Sabbatical year,
a season of rest to all
classes, even the land
itself, which was to be
followed , this Divine
institution, however, was
neglected, which
conveyed for Divine
judgment for as long as
the land lay desolate the
land kept the Sabbath , or
rest, it was now to remain
desolate seventy years

OBEDIENCE
DEVOTION AND CALL
TO DUTY OF BELIVERS
The word of the LORD,
the LORD issued a clear
call to every believer , a
call for heartfelt devotion
and obedience ,
substituting empty ritual
for heartfelt devotion and
obedience, GOD call for 
heartfelt devotion which is
aimed at judgment were
written to warn believers
that their practice
religious ritual such as
prayer fasting, church
attendance rules
regulation program ,thus
hath GOD of hosts
spoken, issuing a strong
command to His people;
they were to administer
true justice, they were to
treat each other fairly and
honestly , justice,
however, is not limited to
courts of Law, it is to
applied to every person,
every relationship, and in
every situation , which
include reframing from
wrong doing , lying,
stealing, cheating or
mistreating one’s
neighbor GOD’S people
look out for one another
and meets each other’s
needs, especially the
needs of the weaker and
more vulnerable member
of the society: widows,
orphans, immigrant and
the poor, which shows 
how deeply the LORD
cares about justice,
The people were to show
mercy and compassion to
one another involved
more than forgiveness,
which also means to be
loving, kind, and faithful,
to show kindness even
when others were
unkind , being merciful
required believers to go
above and beyond what is
required, to do the right
things even when others
did not, Compassion
meant tender love and
concerned, especially to
those in need, they are to
show deep love and care
for one another, the
people are not to oppress
others but rather to care
for the weak, the widows,
the orphans , the
fatherless and strangers
and the poor, GOD cares
for the Poor; therefore, He
commands His people to
do the same, the moral
strength of a nation
depends on how it treats
the weakest the poor and 
needy
The people were not to
plan or think evil against
others by extort and bribe,
cheat and steal, to exploit
and oppress, to do any
kind of evil act to take
advantage over one
another, in most cases,
greed was the cause of
the people’s plotting of
evil, GOD expect us to
think the best for people
and not the worst, in all
we cannot have aright
relationship with GOD
and mistreat our neighbor
the workers, the sick, the
elderly, the poor,
immigrants and any other
persons, the right heart
towards GOD causes us
to reach out and care for
others especially those in
need.
BUT THEY REFUSE TO
HEARKEN AND PULLED
AWAY THE SHOULDER
But they gave a
backsliding and rebellious
shoulders , hardened their
neck and would no hear,
they make heavy their 
ears, they reject GOD’S
word, they had flagrantly
disobeyed GOD’S word
and discard His
instructions they choose
to live the way they
wanted, rather than living
for GOD
THEY MADE THEIR
HEART AS AN ADMANT
STONE
They made their heart as
had as a stone, which
could not receive cutting
or engraving; no message
from GOD could find
entrance, this is the last
sin, obstinacy, they set
their heart disobedient ,
their behavior showed just
how obstinate, how utterly
stubborn the people had
become, they not only
reject GOD’S word but
also deliberately ignored
His warning even when
He sent His prophets of
the impending judgment ,
the people had sinned
and rebelled beyond the
point of repentance, the
consequence of the
people their disobedience 
is catastrophic ; GOD’S
fierce anger and judgment
fell upon them, once
judgment began to fall
upon the people, they
cried out for the LORD’S
help, but GOD did not
answer them, they have
closed their ears,
therefore, GOD closed
His ears to them because
of their insincere and
sinful behavior
BUT I SCATTERED
THEM WITH A
WHIRLWIND
The second judgment
was that of exile and
banishment from the
promise land, the LORD
raised another Nation’s
King Nebuchadnezzar of
Babylon to be His agent
of judgment against
Israel, all because of the
people stubbornness and
rebellious, behavior, they
were forced to endured a
period of exile that lasted
seventy years in a
strange and foreign land
as captives
The judgment was that of 
the destruction and
desolation of the land,
and the carry away the
inhabitants to Babylon,
the LORD pointed out that
it had been their
stubbornness and their
sinful nature made the
land desolate , they
brought ruin upon
themselves, judgment
and all the devastation to
the LORD’S beautiful and
fruitful land became
desolate the tragic
picture of sin
