Today is the 15th day of October. Welcome to the daily audio Bible and here we are at the

threshold of a brand new shiny sparkly week where nothing has really happened yet and

we need to make some choices in advance to live into this week and walk with God in

all of it. So welcome to the third week of the month of October. We're going to read from the

God's word translation this week and we'll continue our journey through the book of Jeremiah

also known as Second Thessalonians and then we'll spend the rest of this week reading Paul's

first letter to his son in the faith Timothy. But first Jeremiah chapter 26 verse 1 to 27 verse 22 today.

turn from their evil ways. Then I'll change my plan about the disaster I intend to bring on them

Suppose you don't listen to me and don't follow my teachings that I said in front of you.

Suppose you don't listen to the words of my servants, the prophets, whom I sent to you again and

again, even though you didn't listen. Then I will do to this temple what I did to Shiloh.

I will turn this city into something that will be cursed by all the nations on earth.

The priests, the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah speak these things in the Lord's temple.

But as soon as Jeremiah finished saying everything that the Lord had commanded him to say,

the priests, the prophets, and all the people grabbed him and said, you must die.

Why do you prophesy in the Lord's name that this temple will be like Shiloh,
