Today: [Jeremiah 25] The Intolerance of God. In this chapter Jeremiah is called to preach to a puppet king installed by the Pharaoh of Egypt. The time of God’s tolerance of the idolatries of the people and the nation are drawing to a close. The consequences of sin are about to be visited upon Jerusalem and all the nations of the fertile crescent. God’s spirit will not always strive with man and it is a sobering warning for our own lives to live in willing contrition before God in any area He puts His finger on.
