Jeremiah's Message at the Temple Gate

This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, “Stand in the gate of the house of the LORD and proclaim this message: Hear the word of the LORD, all you people of Judah who enter through these gates to worship the LORD. Thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel: Correct your ways and deeds, and I will let you live in this place. Do not trust in deceptive words, chanting:

‘This is the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD.’

For if you really correct your ways and deeds, if you act justly toward one another, if you no longer oppress the foreigner and the fatherless and the widow, and if you no longer shed innocent blood in this place or follow other gods to your own harm, then I will let you live in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.

But look, you keep trusting in deceptive words to no avail. Will you steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to Baal, and follow other gods that you have not known, and then come and stand before Me in this house, which bears My Name, and say, ‘We are delivered, so we can continue with all these abominations’? Has this house, which bears My Name, become a den of robbers in your sight? Yes, I too have seen it, declares the LORD.

But go now to the place in Shiloh where I first made a dwelling for My Name, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of My people Israel. And now, because you have done all these things, declares the LORD, and because I have spoken to you again and again but you would not listen, and I have called to you but you would not answer, therefore what I did to Shiloh I will now do to the house that bears My Name, the house in which you trust, the place that I gave to you and your fathers. And I will cast you out of My presence, just as I have cast out all your brothers, all the descendants of Ephraim.

As for you, do not pray for these people, do not offer a plea or petition on their behalf, and do not beg Me, for I will not listen to you. Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? The sons gather wood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead the dough to make cakes for the Queen of Heaven; they pour out drink offerings to other gods to provoke Me to anger. But am I the One they are provoking? declares the LORD. Is it not themselves they spite, to their own shame?

Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, My anger and My fury will be poured out on this place, on man and beast, on the trees of the field and the produce of the land, and it will burn and not be extinguished.

This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Add your burnt offerings to your other sacrifices and eat the meat yourselves! For when I brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt, I did not merely command them about burnt offerings and sacrifices, but this is what I commanded them: Obey Me, and I will be your God, and you will be My people. You must walk in all the ways I have commanded you, so that it may go well with you.

Yet they did not listen or incline their ear, but they followed the stubborn inclinations of their own evil hearts. They went backward and not forward. From the day your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have sent you all My servants the prophets again and again. Yet they would not listen to Me or incline their ear, but they stiffened their necks and did more evil than their fathers.

When you tell them all these things, they will not listen to you. When you call to them, they will not answer. Therefore you must say to them, ‘This is the nation that would not listen to the voice of the LORD their God and would not receive correction. Truth has perished; it has disappeared from their lips. Cut off your hair and throw it away. Raise up a lamentation on the barren heights, for the LORD has rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath.’

For the people of Judah have done evil in My sight, declares the LORD. They have set up their abominations in the house that bears My Name, and so have defiled it. They have built the high places of Topheth in the Valley of Hinnom so they could burn their sons and daughters in the fire—something I never commanded, nor did it even enter My mind.

So behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when this place will no longer be called Topheth and the Valley of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. For they will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no more room. The corpses of this people will become food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and there will be no one to scare them away.

I will remove from the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem the sounds of joy and gladness and the voices of the bride and bridegroom, for the land will become a wasteland.” — Jeremiah 7 | The Reader’s Bible (BRB) The Reader’s Bible © 2020 by Bible Hub and Berean.Bible.

Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD

7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.

“But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.” —Jeremiah 17:7-8

“Stand Tall” By Wendy Richmond:

“When I moved from Minnesota to Louisiana as a teenager, one of things that fascinated me most about my new environment were the cypress trees. These majestic beauties can reach heights of 100-150 feet and have massive trunks that often extend down into lakes, streams or swamps. Their roots reach deep into the water. They are certainly not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought.

These massive trees are a visual reminder of those who trust in the Lord, those who have made the Lord their hope and confidence. In times of heat or drought other trees struggle to survive. They may shed their leaves or stop producing fruit to conserve resources, but the cypress trees remain green. They continue to thrive even when conditions are unfavorable.

When we put our trust in the Lord, when He becomes our hope and confidence, we too will thrive during unfavorable times. It doesn’t mean that unfavorable times won’t come, for they certainly will. It just means that when we trust in the Lord, we will stand tall and continue to flourish despite the circumstances.” Amen!🙏🕊🙌

i always try to make shorter posts bc i can't imagine people wanting to see me ramble on forever abt a dumb teen love triangle show but it seems like more people are seeing the longer posts so ig i'll keep doing those (for all like 7 of you lol).

i think we need to talk abt conrad and jeremiah on a fundamental level (especially in relation to adam and susannah). as a team jeremiah girl, i love conrad (except for s2e8 and yall don't gotta agree but i like to state my biases). and i see a lot of "adam expected a lot from conrad" "susannah expected a lot from conrad" and both of those are true, but the same goes for jeremiah.

conrad: adam always loved conrad more and thought conrad was better; he treated him like he was better, and so he expected conrad to act like he was better. he holds such a high expectation for him that stems from the fact that he thinks conrad is just like him. and conrad enjoys it, he enjoys being just like his dad. until he finds out he cheated and then he hates it: he quits football, he fights with adam, he puts a distance between them, he hates him. and he makes it clear. and susannah never liked to deal with big, or messy, or complicated, or hard, or anything other than fun and happy. so susannah doesn't wanna deal with conrad and his complicated emotions and develops this kinda "let him work it out on his own" thing. so conrad thinks that he should be better that he needs to be better and that he's wrong for feeling things that are complicated and messy so he keeps them to himself. he shuts down. but everyone notices when he shuts down, when he pushes them away. they all notice and they all want to help but he won't let them because he thinks they don't want the messy and the complicated, he just thinks he's a lot better at hiding it than he is.

jeremiah: adam always saw jeremiah and less than conrad, and he almost saw him as "susannah's kid" bc he didn't relate to him. jeremiah cried, and he felt things, and he was honest about them and adam didn't like that. so jeremiah has never had to be better bc adam never thought of jeremiah as even good enough. so jeremiah tries to be like adam: he plays football, and he does the fireworks, and he tries to solve things between conrad and adam to make adam happy. but he also tries not to cry, he tries not to show his emotions. and he's bad at it, when he gets upset you can tell, you can see it in his face. he cries. but susannah (again) didn't like to deal with messy and complex and difficult so jeremiah felt as though nobody wanted him when he felt things. so when you see his emotions it's not his real, deep, (again) messy ones, it's his surface ones. but this does him a "favor" that conrad doesn't have: nobody notices anything is wrong. they can read his surface emotions and everyone deals with it and moves on, but he's so good at hiding his real feelings that nobody notices when something deeper is going on. to quote susannah he's "too good at being fine", he's had to be susannah's (and everyone else's) "sunshine boy" his whole life so he (the same as conrad but in different ways) thinks that nobody wants his complicated emotions. so he chases his father's approval but knows he'll never get it and the only person that ever understood him (even if she didn't want to deal with him) is dead. it's hard to talk to his best friends, adam sucks, and laurel is belly and steven's mom and also relates to conrad more. nobody notices he's struggling bc he's good at hiding it, and once he's not nobody is there for him to notice he's not okay

all in all, adam sucks, susannah was (as much as i hate to say it) a (generally) bad mom, and all of them need therapy. and no, jeremiah isn't objectively better than conrad, and conrad isn't objectively better than jeremiah. they were just treated differently and act and react differently because of it. nuance.
