Today: [Jeremiah 46] The End of all False Dependencies. In this chapter Jeremiah speaks against the nation of Egypt that has so long seduced Judah and Jerusalem from the altar of God. Egypt represents the world and all those things we turn to – other than God when we are under pressure. God is a jealous God. What you allow to come between you and God – God will remove. This is truly the case with ancient Egypt who now that Judah has fallen and the city of Jerusalem destroyed, Egypt will now face the consequences of colluding with the people of God to turn their hearts to the idolatry and sin that has now destroyed them.
