Man, talk about the anger of God ignited because of disobedience, you have it right here. Jeremiah is giving the Word of the Lord and they choose to ignore the Words and call Him a liar. Essentially, they were calling the Lord a liar and I am guessing that is not a good thing to do. And the anger of God is sparked and punishment comes upon the people. We deserve the same punishment and yet, yet...Jesus takes it for us. I am Johanan in this story and so are you and we deserve the sword, or captivity, or death and yet what we get is love, grace, mercy, and God's kindness. Wow. Thank you Jesus.
"the real labor is to remember, to attend. In fact, to come awake. Still more, to remain awake." CS Lewis
