JEREMIAH

Jeremiah ministered from about 630BC to about 595BC. He is known as the weeping prophet. He continued warning about the approach of God's judgment. He was the weeping prophet because he had to tell the bad news that it was too late for repentance. He saw the fulfillment of many of his and Isaiah's prophecies of judgment as he witnessed his nation go into captivity. He was one of the minority of bold prophets who was not killed for his ministry.

Jeremiah 10:6-7 Forasmuch as [there is] none like unto thee, O LORD; thou [art] great, and thy name [is] great in might. Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise [men] of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, [there is] none like unto thee.

WHO WOULD NOT FEAR GOD? ONLY A CLASSIC FOOL WOULD NOT FEAR GOD. THE FOOL SAYS IN HIS HEART THERE IS NO GOD. IT IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND THE FEAR OF THE LORD WHEN WE HAVE SEEN JUST A TINY GLIMPSE OF HIS LOVE. FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE ONLY HEALTHY FEAR. GOD IS SO GREAT, SO POWERFUL, SO MAJESTIC THAT IT IS REALLY IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO FEAR HIM. PERHAPS TO THINK OF THE FEAR OF THE LORD AS REVERENCE WOULD BE HELPFUL. FEAR OF GOD IS A MOTIVE OF OBEDIENCE. LOVE OF GOD IS A BETTER MOTIVE. HOWEVER, IF WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH LOVE OF GOD TO OVERCOME A BIG TRIAL OR TEMPTATION, FEAR OF THE LORD COULD BE QUITE HELPFUL.

Jeremiah 10:8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock [is] a doctrine of vanities.

THEY ARE ALL SENSELESS AND FOOLISH WHO DO NOT FEAR THE LORD. ONE WILL EITHER CHOOSE TO FEAR GOD OR HE WILL WASTE AWAY IN VANITY. WE ARE BORN IN VANITY. THE WHOLE CREATION WAS SUBJECTED TO VANITY IN GOD'S HOPE THAT WITH THIS SELF CONSCIOUS VANITY MAN WOULD CHOOSE TO LOVE GOD FROM HIS OWN FREE WILL. Romans 8:20-21 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected [the same] in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Jeremiah 10:10 But the LORD [is] the true God, he [is] the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.

ALL THOSE WHO WORSHIP LUCIFER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY WILL END UP FACING THE WRATH OF GOD. NOTHING CAN BE MORE FEARFUL THAN TO FACE THE WRATH OF GOD. REFERRING TO INDIRECT WORSHIP OF LUCIFER SPEAKS OF THOSE WHO ARE UNWITTINGLY SUCKED INTO CONTACT WITH SPIRIT GUIDES, ASCENDED MASTERS, FAMILIAR SPIRITS, THE OCCULT, ASTROLOGY, THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT, THE NEW WORLD ORDER, AND VARIOUS OTHER ORDERS WHICH WILL ALL FALL IN LINE UNDER ANTICHRIST. IT IS ALL QUICKLY BOILING DOWN TO FOLLOWING JESUS CHRIST OR ANTICHRIST.

Jeremiah 10:15 They [are] vanity, [and] the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

ALL BELIEFS EXCEPT ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY AND JUDAISM WILL FALL IN LINE UNDER ANTICHRIST'S REGIME. IT IS ALL VANITY UNDER LUCIFER, THE FATHER OF LIES. IT IS PRIDE AND VANITY WHICH CAUSES PEOPLE TO BUY THE LIE, "YE SHALL BE AS GOD." WHEN JESUS CHRIST RETURNS THEY SHALL ALL PERISH WHILE THE FAITHFUL BELIEVERS IN JESUS CHRIST ARE BEING RAPTURED TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR AS HE PROCEEDS TO DESTROY ALL OTHERS WITH THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING AND THE POWER OF HIS WORD.

Jeremiah 10:23-24 O LORD, I know that the way of man [is] not in himself: [it is] not in man that walketh to direct his steps. O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.

OUR LIFE IS A GIFT FROM GOD. NO MATTER HOW CORRUPT OR BAD OUR SITUATION MAY BE THANK GOD FOR OUR LIFE. FIND ABUNDANT, POWERFUL, ETERNAL LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST RIGHT HERE AND NOW. JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK SOON TO SET THIS WHOLE WORLD THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. DON'T THINK OUR GOVERNMENT OR ANY WORLD GOVERNMENT CAN DO WHAT ONLY JESUS CHRIST CAN DO. HE IS GOING TO MAKE EVERYTHING RIGHT AND IT MAY BE COMING TO PASS SOONER THAN WE THINK. THERE MAY BE AS MANY AS 7 YEARS OF GREAT TRIBULATION BUT HANG IN THERE - JESUS, OUR BLESSED HOPE IS COMING SOON.

Jeremiah 11:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

JEREMIAH IS NOT JUST MAKING IDLE CHATTER. THE LORD IS TELLING HIM EXACTLY WHAT TO SAY.

Jeremiah 11:3 And say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Cursed [be] the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant,

THINK ABOUT THIS. IT IS VERY SERIOUS TO BE CURSED BY GOD. THOSE WHO DO NOT OBEY THE WORDS OF THE COVENANT ARE GOING TO BE CURSED. THE COVENANT IS THE 10 COMMANDMENTS. IN AMERICA THE LAW FORBIDS A COPY OF THE COVENANT TO BE DISPLAYED IN ANY PUBLIC SCHOOL IN THE LAND. COULD WE ALREADY BE IN THE 7 LAST YEARS AND NOT EVEN KNOW IT?

Jeremiah 11:14 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear [them] in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.

THERE COMES A TIME WHEN IT IS TOO LATE TO PRAY? LET'S HOPE THAT WE HAVE NEVER COME TO THAT POINT IN GOD'S TIMETABLE AND LONGSUFFERING PATIENCE.

Jeremiah 12:1-3 Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of [thy] judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? [wherefore] are all they happy that deal very treacherously?

Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou [art] near in their mouth, and far from their reins. But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.

IT IS GOOD TO ASK GOD WHY? WE MUST NOT LET OUR WHY'S BECOME A WHINE. JEREMIAH ASKS WHY DO THE WICKED PROSPER. THE WICKED WILL PROSPER FOR A SHORT TIME. ANTICHRIST WILL BE GIVEN POWER TO WAGE WAR ON THE SAINTS. BUT WHAT IS SEVEN YEARS OF THE PROSPERING OF WICKEDNESS COMPARED TO ETERNITY? IF JUDGMENT BEGINS WITH THE HOUSE OF GOD, HOW SHALL THE WICKED STAND? NONE SHALL BE ABLE TO STAND THE WRATH OF THE LAMB.

Jeremiah 12:7 I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.

THIS IS GOD TALKING. GOD IS GREATLY GRIEVED WHEN HE IS FORCED TO PUNISH HIS REBELLIOUS CHILDREN. IT HURTS LIKE IT HURTS ANY PARENT TO DISCIPLINE A REBELLIOUS CHILD. GOD'S PERFECT WILL IS TO SHOWER US WITH THE BLESSINGS OF OBEDIENCE. WE FORCE HIM TO GIVE US THE JUDGMENT OF REBELLION AND IT GRIEVES HIM.

Jeremiah 12:10-11 Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. They have made it desolate, [and being] desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth [it] to heart.

HOW MANY PASTORS TODAY EXCUSE IF NOT OUTRIGHT ENCOURAGE THEIR PEOPLE TO CONTINUE LIVING IN THEIR SINS. THERE ARE EVEN "CHRISTIAN" PASTORS WHO SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH GLOBAL GOVERNMENT OR THE NEW WORLD ORDER. SOME EVEN THINK THAT GETTING IN TOUCH WITH A SPIRIT GUIDE OR ASCENDED MASTER IS OK. SOME WOULD SAY ABORTION IS A WOMAN'S RIGHT. HELL, FIRE, AND BRIMSTONE PREACHERS ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN AND UNPOPULAR TO SAY THE LEAST. THIS LAND CAN BE MADE UTTERLY DESOLATE VERY QUICKLY.

Jeremiah 13:15-16 Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath spoken. Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, [and] make [it] gross darkness.

WHAT IS IT THAT PREVENTS US HEARING GOD? IT IS VANITY AND OUR PRIDE? WE CANNOT HELP HAVING VANITY AND PRIDE. WE ARE BORN WITH THIS AFFLICTION. BUT IT IS ONLY BY HEARING GOD THAT WE CAN BREAK FREE OF OUR VANITY AND PRIDE. WE RECEIVE RIGHTEOUSNESS AS A GIFT OF GOD BY FAITH. HOW DO WE GET FAITH? Romans 10:17 So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. FAITH COMES BY HEARING, AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD. THIS IS NOT A CATCH 22 SITUATION. IT IS THE FUNDAMENTAL CHOICE WHICH EVERY HUMAN BEING WILL MAKE. WILL WE CHOOSE TO HUMBLE OURSELF AND LISTEN TO GOD OR WILL WE PERSIST IN OUR VANITY AND DIE IN OURS SINS. GIVE GLORY TO GOD BEFORE THE DARKNESS OF DEATH OVERTAKES US. WE DON'T KNOW THE DAY OR THE HOUR WHEN DEATH WILL OVERTAKE US. WILL WE LET THE TRUE GOD BE GOD OR WILL WE PERSIST IN THE FUTILE VAIN ATTEMPT TO BE OUR OWN GOD?

Jeremiah 13:23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? [then] may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.

CAN THE LEOPARD CHANGE HIS SPOTS? OF COURSE HE CAN NOT. IT IS THE SAME WITH MAN AND HIS VANITY. IT IS JUST AS IMPOSSIBLE FOR A MAN TO OVERCOME HIS VANITY. HE CAN PUT ON A GOOD SHOW BUT GOD KNOWS THE VANITY CONDITION OF THE HEART. THE MORE A MAN TRIES TO DO ENOUGH GOOD WORKS TO COVER HIS SINS THE MORE THE VANITY GROWS IN HIS HEART. IT WILL GROW INTO SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HYPOCRISY WHICH STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS????? Romans 7:24-8:2 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

THE LEOPARD CANNOT CHANGE HIS SPOTS. BUT GOD CAN CHANGE THE LEOPARD'S SPOTS FOR HIM. WE CANNOT COVER OR MAKE UP TO GOD FOR ANY OF OUR SINS. BUT GOD CAN COVER OUR SINS FOR US.

Jeremiah 14:7 O LORD, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou [it] for thy name's sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee.

THIS IS POWERFUL PRAYER. DO IT FOR YOUR NAME'S SAKE. GOD IDENTIFIED HIMSELF TO THE WORLD AS THE GOD OF ISRAEL. JEREMIAH ASKS GOD TO SAVE ISRAEL FOR THE SAKE OF GOD'S NAME, THE GOD OF ISRAEL.

Jeremiah 14:11-12 Then said the LORD unto me, Pray not for this people for [their] good. When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.

GOD TELLS JEREMIAH THAT IT IS TOO LATE. THIS NATION IS SO BAD. THEY HAVE BEEN SO BAD FOR SO LONG GOD, THE HOLY GOD, CANNOT STAND ANY LONGER TO BE IDENTIFIED WITH THEM. WHAT ABOUT AMERICA - THAT OTHER NATION FOUNDED FOR THE GLORY OF GOD WHOSE MONEY EVEN SAYS "IN GOD WE TRUST"? IS IT TOO LATE? WHICH gOD IS THE GOD OF AMERICA? IS IT THE ONE WHOSE COVENANT HAS BEEN BANNED FROM ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF THE LAND? THE GODLY CULTURE PECULIAR TO AMERICA'S FOUNDING FATHERS IS SYSTEMATICALLY BEING DESTROYED. IS IT TOO LATE FOR AMERICA? CHRISTIAN, WHAT WILL WE DO ABOUT IT?

Jeremiah 14:13-14 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place. Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.

PEACE, PEACE THEY SAY. THE SOVIET UNION IS NO LONGER A THREAT, THEY SAY. THE PROPHETS PROPHESY LIES. ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE TELLING US THESE THINGS GETTING THEIR INFORMATION FROM THE TRUE GOD? Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: THE TRUTH IS THAT THEIR INFORMATION COMES FROM THE PRINCE OF THE POWER OF THE AIR, LUCIFER. OUR MEDIA PROPHETS ARE TELLING US THINGS OUT OF THE DECEIT OF THEIR HEART. THEIR INFORMATION COMES FROM LUCIFER AND HIS ANTICHRIST - THE GODS OF THE NEW AGE.

Jeremiah 15:16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.

ARE WE DELIGHTED TO READ GOD'S WORD EVERY DAY? WHEN WE LOVE GOD WE LOVE TO READ HIS WORD. IT IS A DELIGHT TO FEED OUR SPIRIT AND IT WILL MAKE OUR HEART REJOICE. THE CHRISTIAN WHO EXPECTS TO BE FED BY HIS PASTOR IS A BABY CHRISTIAN. SOME CHRISTIANS DIE AS BABIES. THEY NEVER GROW ENOUGH TO FEED THEMSELVES SO THAT THEY MAY GROW STRONG ENOUGH TO EVEN PARTICIPATE IN THE SPIRITUAL WARFARE. IN THE LAST DAYS THE SPIRITUAL WARFARE BECOMES TOTAL WAR. BABIES ARE NOT CAPABLE OF FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT. WE ALL NEED TO GROW AND GROW QUICKLY. OUR SPIRITUAL GROWTH IS NOT OUR PASTOR'S JOB. IT IS OUR JOB.

Jeremiah 15:19-21 Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, [and] thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them. And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I [am] with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD. And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.

JEREMIAH HAS BEEN HAVING A PITY PARTY BEFORE THE LORD. HIS PEOPLE WILL NOT LISTEN TO HIM GIVE THEM GOD'S WARNINGS. GOD SAYS GRIT UP YOUR GUT. DON'T EVEN TRY TO REACH OUT TO YOUR PEOPLE ANY MORE. MAKE THEM COME TO YOU IF THEY WANT ANY MORE TRUTH. THERE COMES A TIME NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU MAY LOVE SOMEONE, THAT YOU MUST LET THEM GO AND EXPERIENCE THE PAINS THAT THEIR REBELLION WILL BRING THEM. GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF HIS PEOPLE JUST AS HE PROMISED AND DID TAKE CARE OF JEREMIAH DURING THE PERIOD OF JUDAH'S JUDGMENT.

Jeremiah 16:19-21 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and [things] wherein [there is] no profit. Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they [are] no gods? Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name [is] The LORD.

IS GOD OUR STRENGTH AND FORTRESS FOR THE DAYS OF AFFLICTION WHICH ARE COMING? THIS NEW AGE MOVEMENT AND NEW WORLD ORDER OF ANTICHRIST COMING UPON THE WORLD IS BEING BROUGHT IN THROUGH LIES AND VANITY. PEOPLE ARE IGNORANT OF GOD'S WORD AND THEREFORE WILL BE SUCKED INTO THIS COMING SYSTEM OF DESTRUCTION.

Jeremiah 18:8-10 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. And [at what] instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant [it]; If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.

GOD RESPONDS TO THE FREE WILL CHOICES WE MAKE. THERE IS LITTLE DOUBT THAT AMERICA HAS BEEN BLESSED GREATLY BY GOD. NO OTHER NATION HAS BEEN SO BLESSED. THE FOUNDERS OF THIS NATION SOUGHT TO FOUND THE NATION FOR GOD'S GLORY. THIS NATION HAS TURNED ITS BACK ON THE TRUE GOD AND SEEKS THE gODS OF LUCIFER AND ANTICHRIST. WITHOUT REPENTANCE WE MAY BE SURE OF JUDGMENT ON THIS GREAT LAND SO BLESSED BY GOD.

Jeremiah 18:12 And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.

WE ALL HAVE EVIL HEARTS. ONLY GOD CAN FIX THEM. WHEN EVERYONE KEEPS DOING THEIR OWN THING - THERE IS NO HOPE.

Jeremiah 25:11-12 And this whole land shall be a desolation, [and] an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, [that] I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.

THE CHILDREN GOING INTO CAPTIVITY WOULD BE ABLE TO TELL THEIR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN THAT THEIR FREEDOM AND RETURN TO THEIR HOMELAND WAS SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO WITH CERTAINTY. GOD HAS ALSO LET OUR GENERATION KNOW A SIMILAR THING TO GIVE US A BLESSED HOPE. WE DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE 7 YEARS OF GREAT TRIBULATION BEGINS BECAUSE IT WILL BEGIN SO GRADUALLY. WHENEVER WE DO HOWEVER, REALIZE THAT WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT, WE WILL KNOW THAT IN LESS THAN 7 YEARS OUR BLESSED HOPE WILL BE REALIZED. JESUS IS COMING, NOT IN SECRET, BUT IN GREAT POWER AND GLORY. EVERY EYE SHALL SEE HIM. THOSE WHO HAVE REMAINED FAITHFUL IN TRIBULATION AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE MARK OF THE BEAST ANTICHRIST, WILL BE RAPTURED WHEN THEIR EYES SEE HIM RETURNING. THOSE WHO HAVE NOT REMAINED FAITHFUL AND HAVE TAKEN THE MARK OF THE BEAST WILL WANT TO DIE AND NOT BE ABLE TO DIE.

Jeremiah 25:4 And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending [them]; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear.

IT NEVER SEEMS TO CHANGE. WE COULD BE SAVED FROM SO MUCH GRIEF AND HARDSHIP IF WE WOULD LISTEN TO GOD AND DILIGENTLY STUDY THE BIBLE.

Jeremiah 25:29-31 For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts.

Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread [the grapes], against all the inhabitants of the earth. A noise shall come [even] to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them [that are] wicked to the sword, saith the LORD.

THERE HAVE BEEN 2 WORLD WARS. YET EVEN IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR THERE WERE PLACES ON EARTH WHERE BULLETS WERE NOT FIRED AND BOMBS WERE NOT DROPPED. WHEN GOD CALLS FOR A SWORD UPON ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH, MUST REFER TO THE 2ND COMING OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. THE LORD SHALL ROAR FROM ON HIGH AGAINST ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH. HE WILL HAVE A CONTROVERSY WITH THE NATIONS WHO HAVE ALL FALLEN UNDER THE REIGN OF ANTICHRIST AND HIS NEW WORLD ORDER. HE WILL DESTROY ALL THE WICKED WITH THE SWORD OF THE POWER OF HIS WORD AT HIS POWERFUL AND GLORIOUS RETURN TO EARTH.

Jeremiah 35:18-19 And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he hath commanded you:

Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever.

OVER AND OVER WE SEE HOW GOD BLESSES AND REWARDS OBEDIENCE AND HOW REBELLION IS PUNISHED. FEW REALIZE THAT REBELLION IS AS THE SIN OF WITCHCRAFT AND THAT OBEDIENCE IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE. THE RECHABITES DID NOT GO INTO CAPTIVITY WITH THE REST OF JUDAH. THEY SIMPLY PICKED UP AND MOVED AGAIN OUT OF THE PATH OF THE ARMIES OF NEBUCHADNEZZAR.
