Jeremiah was an Old Testament prophet of the scriptures, who is renowned for his prophetic messages to Israel regarding the wrath of God to come, unless they repented of their idol worship and human sacrifices to idols, and returned to obedience of God's laws.  God's warnings through the prophet echoed throughout the known world, yet the people refused to heed the warnings. 

God said through Jeremiah, "Turn every one from his evil way, from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the Lord has given you and your fathers forever and ever.  Do not serve other gods and worship them and do not provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands (idols) and I will not hurt you; but you have not listened to me, saith the Lord, that you might provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands to your own hurt.  Therefore, saith the Lord, because you have not heard My Words, behold, I will send the families of the north, saith the Lord, and Nebuchadrezzar, King of Babylon, My servant, and I will bring them against this land and against the inhabitants of it and against all these nations around it, and utterly destroy them and make them an astonishment, hissing and perpetual desolations" Jeremiah 25:5-9.   

After Jeremiah prophesied to the people, that they would be taken captive by the King of Babylon for their unrepentant sins, the people tried to convince the King of Judah to put Jeremiah to death!  They didn't want to hear the warnings from God and refused to see their spiritual condition.  At the same time, there arose lying prophets to contradict the Words that the Lord God had given to Jeremiah the prophet.  Hananiah the prophet contradicted the Word of the Lord by the prophet Jeremiah and the people believed Hananiah. 

The same things are happening today.  The Bible says, "The thing that has been, is that which will be, and that which has been done is that which will be done and there is no new thing under the sun" Ecclesiastes1:9.  Jesus told His disciples that in the last days great tribulation would come, "There will be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, nor ever will be" Matthew 24:21.  The wrath of God is coming, make no mistake about it.  The earth is already showing the early signs of what will come and the "travail" has begun, as described in 1 Thessalonians 5:3 "When they say, 'Peace and safety,' then sudden destruction will come upon them, as travail upon a woman with child, and they will not escape."  There are a few prophetic ministers today who are telling the truth about the wrath of God to come, for which they are greatly criticized, because the people still do not want to hear the truth.  Then, you have very popular apostate "ministers," like Joel Osteen, who preach a "you're okay, I'm okay - you're blessed, I'm blessed" message to a mega congregation, and now Hollywood.  He refuses to say that anything, I mean anything is a sin!  All the people just love it!  That sweet cupcake message is very popular today, but it's a lie and it will take people to hell.  Just as the false prophets in Jeremiah's day caused the people to be at ease and continue in their wickedness, when they should have repenting and turning from their wickedness.  They were suddenly taken captive into Babylon and then it was too late to repent.  The Bible says, "...Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation" 2 Corinthians 6:2.  Tomorrow could be too late.  If you want to receive Jesus as your Savior, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website.  God bless you.
