Summary

October 10-16

Jeremiah was foreordained for the tough prophetic job he was called to do. The Lord said, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations” (Jeremiah 1:5). We often point to those verses as a reminder that the Bible does refer to a pre-mortal existence, but something else strikes us additionally here. It is as if the Lord said, “Jeremiah, I am going to send you one of the toughest, most heart-rending missions that a prophet can have, preaching to a society who have obstinately doomed themselves, and who will never listen to you, but I have chosen you, because I know you. My eye has been upon you. I’ve seen you from the beginning and I trust you for this mighty, unpopular and sometimes agonizing calling.

0:34.7	We often point to those verses as a reminder that the Bible does refer to a pre-mortal
0:40.2	existence, but something else strikes us additionally here. It is as if the Lord said to Jeremiah,
0:47.8	I am going to send you one of the toughest, most heart-wending missions that a prophet can have,
0:54.7	preaching to a society who have obstinately doomed themselves, and who will never listen to you,
1:01.0	but I have chosen you because I know you. My eye has been upon you. I've seen you from the
1:07.7	beginning, and I trust you for this mighty, unpopular, and sometimes agonizing calling.
1:16.4	Hello, we're Scott and Maureen Proctor, and welcome to Meridian magazines Come Follow Me Podcast,
1:22.9	where today we study the uncomfortable, but also necessary warnings of Jeremiah,
1:28.9	as found in chapters 1 through 3, 7, 18 through 20, and 26. Though these warnings come from an
1:37.8	ancient time, they are fresh and relevant to us as our own society lurches away from God and his
1:45.1	teachings. Before we launch into our discussion, we are so pleased to tell you about a new book out
1:51.5	from Meridian Press, written by Duane Boyce and Kimberly White. It is called The Last Safe Place,
1:58.5	seven principles for standing with the prophets and troubled times. When we read this manuscript,
2:04.8	we had to publish the book. We could see how important it was. As we launch into the tumultuous
2:11.2	winding up scenes, we see among us an increasing challenge to the word of the Lord's prophets.
2:17.3	It may be family members or friends you love who are resisting. You may have some questions about
2:23.6	why the words of the prophets are the Last Safe Place for yourself. This book is an impressive
2:30.9	work to keep us grounded as we wrestle with the world. Don't miss this great work that is both
2:36.8	refreshing and essential. It is available at Amazon. Just search for The Last Safe Place
