​​​1015.
​
Deception by False Prophets  
​​

1. 

Today's Passage: Jeremiah 8:1-17 

Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.
​
Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).

Thank You for meeting me, LORD.
I welcome you into this place.
Please prepare my heart Jehovah.
Thank you for insight.

1st strategy 
From the Ancients - Lectio Divina
  • Ask God to open your heart and mind to what is written in the passage.
  • Read the passage
  • Re-read the passage looking for 3 words or phrases that really resonate in your heart.
  • Write those words down.
  • Re-read the passage. Of the 3 words which 1 resonates most in your heart? 
    • Ask yourself what does this word mean in my life?
    • Where do I need change/growth/revelation?
  • Write this word down. Or, remember this word throughout your day.
  • Ask God to show you meaning from the passage.
  • We read, reflect, and communicate. Share with the community.
  • Don't forget to thank God for being with you during this endeavor to find intimacy with Him.

1. "In that day," says the LORD, "the enemy will break open the graves of the kings and officials of Judah, and the graves of the priests, prophets, and common people of Jerusalem.
2. They will spread out their bones on the ground before the sun, moon, and stars — the gods my people have loved, served, and worshiped. Their bones will not be gathered up again or buried but will be scattered on the ground like manure.
3. And the people of this evil nation who survive will wish to die rather than live where I will send them. I, the LORD of Heaven's Armies, have spoken!
4. "Jeremiah, say to the people, 'This is what the LORD says:

"' When people fall down, don't they get up again? When they discover they're on the wrong road, don't they turn back?
5. Then why do these people stay on their self-destructive path? they cling tightly to their lies and will not turn around.
6. I listen to their conversations and don't hear a word of truth. Is anyone sorry for doing wrong? Does anyone say, "What a terrible thing I have done"?
No! All are running down the path of sin as swiftly as a horse galloping into battle!
7. Even the stork that flies across the sky knows the time of her migration, as do the turtledove, the swallow, and the crane. They all return at the proper time each year. But not my people! They do not know the LORD'S laws.

8. "'How can you say, "We are wise because we have the word of the LORD," when your teachers have twisted it by writing lies?
9. These wise teachers will fall into the trap of their own foolishness, for they have rejected the word of the LORD> Are they so wise after all?
10. I will give their wives to others and their farms to strangers. From the least to the greatest, their lives are ruled by greed. Yes, even m prophets and priests are like that. They are all frauds.
11. They offer superficial treatments for my people's mortal wound. They give assurances of peace when there is no peace.
12. Are they ashamed of these disgusting actions? Not at all — they don't even know how to blush! Therefore, they will lie among the slaughtered. They will be brought down when I punish them, says the LORD. 
13. I will surely consume them. There will be no more harvests of figs and grapes. Their fruit trees will all die. Whatever I gave them will soon be gone. I, the LORD, have spoken!'

14. "Then the people will say, 'Why should we wait here to die? Come, let's go to the fortified towns and die there. For the LORD our God has decreed our destruction and has given us a cup of poison to drink because we sinned against the LORD.
15. We hoped for peace, but no peace came. We hoped for a time of healing, but found only terror'

16. "The snorting of the enemies' warhorses can be heard all the way from the land of Dan in the north! The neighing of their stallions makes the whole land tremble. They are coming to devour the land and everything in it —cities and people alike. 
17. I will send thesew enemy troops among you like poisonous snakes you cannot charm. They will bite you, and you will die. I, the Lord, have spoken!"
​Jeremiah 8:1-17 NLT
