Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

All right.

Now I got the mic on.

As you know, we've been working our way through the Old Testament scriptures.

I we're seeing how God put together those 39 books of the Old Testament, by which we have preserved for us in and kept Forest down to all of these years from the time that they were finished for being written until our time.

Now over 2,400 years ago, that that took place at the ending of the Old Testament scriptures came into being but we've been looking at the nation of Israel and I we've seen how God allowed us to for judgment said.

He gave the Solomon that would come up on the nation of Israel if they disobeyed him if they turn their back on him, he said this is what will happen.

And then when Solomon sin against God there with his foreign wife by building temples and and buying down and worshipping their Idol Gods with them.

We find that God Divided the nation.

He he then said that Solomon's descendants with only rule over the tribe of Judah.

And then we saw because of the sin of the people of the northern ten tribes in the southern One Tribe, how God then brought judgment upon them because they to rebuild and follow the idle Gods instead of following the true and living God in their their life.

And I because of this God, allow the Assyrians to come in in the northern ten tribes and, and take them into captivity and disperse, the people of the northern ten tribes out into other areas and other countries that they were in control of and then following that another hundred years went by or so.

And it tells us how because Judah also turn their back and especially through Manasseh, who turn the the hearts of the people of Israel away from God and especially the tribe of Yeah, I brought judgment upon them and allowed the Babylonians to come in and take captive, the southern tribe of Judah and destroyed Jerusalem, and juice bar, and the temple.

And now, they also had a number of people that were dispersed throughout the all the other nations as seem to be a custom in those days.

Those who survived the invasion and so forth, many times, they would take and disperse the people in other areas.

So that there would not be any possibility of them trying to reunite and rebelled against the emperor and the Empire.

So so that's where we left it off this last time and you don't think about that that God brought judgment upon the nation of Israel and Conquerors had other nations conquer them and put them in subjection to them and disperse them throughout.

The you think that is God, then done with the nation of Israel.

Does God want to have anything else to do with the nation of Israel?

Because that was that judgment that he put up on them the end of it.

All and of course as a bulletin said we would say no because God was not done with the nation of Israel and later, if I'll even talk a little bit about it.

When we get in towards the New Testament time, when he destroyed Jerusalem again, under the Roman Empire was God finished with Israel at that time in 70 AD and we'll get into that at another time.

But but here we have to say no, why do I say that?

Because God gave some hope to these people of Israel who were in despair by being dispersed throughout all these other nations and still, he gave them hope that because of that and then in spite of that, he was still going to work for them.

And if you turn with me in your Bibles to 2nd Chronicles chapter 36,

I just wanted to give you read these verses for you.

That just start us out and thinking about how there was the prophets of God that were speaking to the people of Israel and trying to help them and encourage them in their life that God was not done with them.

And what they needed to do is they needed to, repent of their sins.

They needed to turn back to God, and follow him in, obedience to his word.

And so, in 2nd Chronicles chapter 36, starting with verse 15, it says and the Lord, the god of their father, sent word to them again and again, by his Messengers because he had compassion on his people on.

And, on his Dwelling Place, why did he send the messengers?

Because he loved the people of Israel.

He called them, he chose them as His special people through.

Who the Messiah, the Savior would come through One day and he had compassion on them even in the spite of their sin and the Rebellion against him, he still loved them and cared about what was going on in their lives.

But in verse 16, it says but they continually mop the messengers of God despised his words and scoffed at his profits until the Wrath of the Lord arose against his people, until there was no remedy.

That's kind of sad, you know?

Once we have Jesus Christ, is our savior.

Do we re Bell as a people of Israel did against the word of God? Do we despise it?

I do we turn away from it.

Do we say?

Well, that's all right, for somebody else but not for me.

I don't want to live that way.

I want to live the way I want to live and and we just despise the word of God.

We despise those who even talked about it and we have a lot of that going on in our world and then our country today, when when we speak about what the Bible teaches and people don't like it.

You know, they get really upset with us because we are standing firm on the word of God.

And some of these social issues that are going on in the world today and we need to make sure that no matter what the world says, no matter what man says, we have to go by what the word of God says.

And of God says that a sin is being socially accepted.

We cannot follow with it.

We have to talk out.

Against it not that we despise people just like God was saying here, you know, even though the people of Israel turn against he still loved them, he still cared about them.

His main emphasis to them, was I want you to repent, I want you to turn back to me.

I want you to follow me because if you do that, that's when you're going to receive my blessing upon you and your life will talk a little bit more about that as we get towards the application of the message this morning.

But hear this is what it tells us.

They despised the word of God.

They still those that were given to and we're giving the word of God as it should be.

And now because of that, there was no remedy and he says, therefore in verse 17, he brought up against them.

The king of caliph, the Chaldeans, who slew their young men with their sort of the of, in the house of their sanctuary and had no compassion on young man or virgin old man or infirm, he gave them into their hands.

Kind of Situation war is never Pleasant and there's always destruction going on.

There's there was that will be put to death even in the midst of that and then asses and all the articles of the house of God, great and small and the Treasures of the house of the Lord and the Treasures of the king of his officers, he brought them off to Babylon.

Then they burn the house of God and wrote down the wall of Jerusalem and burn.

It's 425 building with fire and destroyed all its valuable articles.

This was in 586 BC when Nebuchadnezzar came the third time against the the nation of Judah.

And it tells us that he this time because of the rebellion of the king that he had put in charge of Judah, a rebelled against him And so, therefore he finally had enough and he destroyed the city, he destroyed the temple that Solomon had built.

And now it tells us in verse 24, those who had escaped from The Sword, he carried away to Babylon, and they were servants to him and to his son's until the rule of the kingdom of Persia, to fulfill the words of the Lord, by the mouse.

That Jeremiah until the land had enjoyed it.

Sabes all the days of the it's desolation, it kept Sabbath until 70 years, were complete what to say in here is God also was saying through the prophecy of of Jeremiah and will turn over to, that just a moment here.

But he says, one of the problems is that you have not kept the Sabbath.

You have to go back into Leviticus chapter 25 and 26 to read about what to say.

Was all about and how they were violated in it.

Because God told the people is, or when you go into the land that I'm giving you, what you need to do is observe the Sabbath and what that was is that they would Harvest and they were plant there, a drain and everything for 6 years.

And then in the seventh year that was to be the Sabbath.

And what they were to do, they were to leave the crops from being planted and everything and Then they would go on for another six years and then Seth and it tells us that the people did not follow the God's guidance for that, in the keeping of the land.

And then of course, wanted God to 49 years.

There was a jubilee, a Year of Jubilee.

So they had two years by which they were supposed to, observe the sabbath at that time and enduring that fifty years, they were also supposed to forgive all the deaths of the people of the Israel.

And if they had bought somebody's land, they were to give the land back to him.

And so that was a custom.

And it says that, now, what I'm going to do for you because you haven't kept the Sabbath, I'm going to put you into a.

Of 70 years, 7 Sabbath or 10 sad that you're going to do.

And so now this came through the prophecy of Jeremiah.

So when you turned over to Read out to Jeremiah chapter 29, Mi chapter 29.

Alyssa.

Who starred with Bruce for that says, the Lord of hosts, the god of Israel to all the exiled who might have sent into Exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.

Build houses and live in them and plant Gardens and eat their produce to take their wives and become the fathers of sons and daughters and their wives for your sons and give them your daughters to husband's that they may not hear their sons and daughters and modify there and do not decrease and see if the welfare of the city where I have sent you into Exile and pray to the Lord on it for your net.

Welfare will be will have their welfare for.

This is the Lord of hosts.

The god of Israel.

Do not let your prophets who are in your midst, and your dividers deceive you.

Those that's was given by a prophets who are not following the true and living God, about the intermarriage and so forth with those at how they were sent into Exile with.

And he says, for this says, the Lord verse 10 when 70 years have been complete for Babylon, I will visit you and fulfill my good word to you to bring you back to this house for.

I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord plans for welfare and not for Calamity to give you a future.

And a what A hope.

In other words, even through their despair of being taken, captive, of being dispersed throughout all these other lands guide through the prophet of Jeremiah who is Ministry during this time by which one they went into captivity.

Now is telling them that God has said that this will last for 70 years and when those 70 years, I'm going to bring you back into the land.

And so even in the midst of their just fear, God gave them what they gave them hope and no matter what, we're going through, no matter what we're facing in our lives on a daily basis, if we know Jesus Christ.

As our personal savior, my life is not build up on the things that are going on around this Earth.

Life's our build up on our hope in Jesus Christ with one day.

We know that no matter what we're facing here on this Earth is going to be over, and we're going to be in the presence of the Lord.

That's the hope that we have.

That's the how thankful we can be as Believers in Christ that it's so important for us.

As we'll see you in a little bit that we follow and obey God in our lives.
