"In Vain Is Salvation Hoped For From The Hills."
Reference: Jeremiah Chapter 3
Israel has gone to every hill and mountain looking for salvation. Like the world today, many are traveling to mountains and high places, looking for the answer to a broken life. Salvation only comes through blood because the problem is blood. God is calling everybody to the blood. The whole world must come to the blood.
Let's read.
Jeremiah 3:1-3 "They say, If a man put away His wife, and she go from Him, and become another man's, shall He return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD. [2] Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou hast not been lien with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness. [3] Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed."
He causes the rain and can also hold the rain. He showers His blessings upon those who have heeded the call to come out of Adam's blood into His blood. He withholds the rains from those who remain in the blood of the first Adam.

Jeremiah 3:4-6 "Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth? [5] Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest. [6] The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot."
Like many today, Israel was looking for help from the wrong places. Nothing will take a man or woman out of the blood of Adam. When we recognize that, then we can run to the solution.
We continue our reading.
Jeremiah 3:7-13 "And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it. [8] And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also. [9] And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks. [10] And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD. [11] And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah. [12] Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever. [13] Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD.."
If we come to Him in repentance, acknowledging our original inheritance from Adam, He will receive us, and remove us from the first blood into the second blood.
We continue our reading.
Jeremiah 3:14-15 "Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion: [15] And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding."
The true pastor today is the one who's feeding the people knowledge and understanding. This knowledge and understanding is the Person of the Holy Spirit. The true pastor points the people to follow after the Holy Spirit. God, the Holy Spirit is on earth today, leading His church.
We continue our reading.
Jeremiah 3:16-19 "And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more. [17] At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart. [18] In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers. [19] But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me."
We are born children of the first Adam. The only way we become His children is through the blood of the second Adam. The blood of the second Adam is what will bring Israel and Judah together. The blood of the second Adam is what will bring the whole world together. For the whole world is in the blood of the first Adam.
We conclude our reading.
Jeremiah 3:20-25 "Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD. [21] A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God. [22] Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God. [23] Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel. [24] For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters. [25] We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God."
Man cannot walk in the ways of God until he has been moved out of the blood of the first Adam. The corruption of the first blood cannot be overcome by any effort. The only solution is to escape the first blood. Man cannot see in the first blood. We receive our sight only in the second blood.
Receive your sight. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second blood, as we reveal Him from the first blood. Salvation is only, in Christ!

The true pastor today is the one who's feeding the people knowledge and understanding. This knowledge and understanding is the Person of the Holy Spirit. The true pastor points the people to follow after the Holy Spirit. God, the Holy Spirit is on earth today, leading His church.

Receive your sight. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second blood, as we reveal Him from the first blood. Salvation is only, in Christ!
