Jeremiah
"Take refuge! Do not delay!"
Text: Jeremiah 4:6
URGENT WORD OF WARNING GIVEN
Jeremiah was instructed to give a strong and urgent word of warning to Judah and Jerusalem. The people had to be warned about an imminent invasion from the North. This was one of the first visions that God had given to Jeremiah (Jeremiah 1:13-16).
“Declare in Judah and proclaim in Jerusalem, and say:
‘Blow the trumpet in the land;
Cry, ‘Gather together,’
And say, ‘Assemble yourselves,
And let us go into the fortified cities.’
Set up the standard toward Zion.
Take refuge! Do not delay!
For I will bring disaster from the north,
And great destruction.'”
Jeremiah 4:5-6
