Jeremiah 26
Jeremiah was threatened with death. THis happened during the reign of Jehoiakim.
Verses 1-6 summarize the sermon, verses. 7-11 describes Jeremiah’s arrest and trial. Jeremiah boldly calls for his accusers to repent (verses 12-15). Some of the elders and the people resist the demands of the religious leaders that Jeremiah be executed (vv. 16-19). Micah of Moresheth also had prophesied in the days of Hezekiah, prophesied the destruction of Jerusalem but Hezekiah did not kill him.
There was another prophet named Uriah, who prophesied in the name of the Lord was and prophesied the same thing as Jeremiah did. Uriah was killed on the orders of Jehoiakim.

Application:
People, in their sinfulness, do not want ot hear the truth. Many Christians have been martyred because they stood up for the truth. They were faithful to Jesus Christ. Reagardless, God is in control of the world situation even though it seems so hopeless to us. He is all-powerful, all-knowing and is everywhere. Let us be aware of what is going on but let us put our trust in God.

Note in Jeremiah 26.4-6, there is an IF in some of God's commandments and promises!
Verses to meditate on:
5 9 Why do you prophesy in the LORD's name that this house will be like Shiloh and this city will be desolate and deserted?" And all the people crowded around Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.

Jeremiah 26 with Commentaries, verse by verse


Psalm 82, with Commentaries, verse by verse
This is a psalm of Asaph. This is a courtroom scene where rulers and judges are gathered before God to give an account of their adminstering justice. One of God's command is to take care of the pwerless such as the orphans and widows (v. 3-4). These judges and rulers are ignorant of moral issues, and will one day be themselves judged. The Judge is coming back one day and His name is Jesus will you be ready to meet him?
