"And Death Shall Be Chosen Rather Than Llife By All Those Who Remain Of This Evil Family."
Reference: Jeremiah Chapter 8
That evil family is the blood of the first Adam. There is a Balm in Gilead. He is only been rejected.
Let's read.
Jeremiah 8:1-3 "At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves: [2] And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth. [3] And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts."
Remaining in the blood of the first Adam is death; damnation.
We continue our reading.
Jeremiah 8:4-7 "Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return? [5] Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return. [6] I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle. [7] Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD."
Men and women remain in the blood of the first Adam because they ignore the conscience of God in them. The conscience of God in any man or woman points to the fact that there is something wrong. Today, we've discovered that something is the blood, the blood of the first Adam. There's a new blood for man to exit the old blood of Adam. Yet men and women continue to ignore their conscience and remain in the evil family of the blood of the first Adam.
We continue our reading.
Jeremiah 8:8-11 "How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain. [9] The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them? [10] Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. [11] For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace."
There is no peace in the blood of the first Adam. They say, "Peace, peace," where there is no peace. There's only one place of peace, and that is in the blood of the second Adam.
We continue our reading.
Jeremiah 8:12-15 "Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD. [13] I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them. [14] Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD. [15] We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!"
A time of health cannot be found in the blood of the first Adam. Health is only in the blood of the second Adam.
We continue our reading.
Jeremiah 8:16-20 "The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein. [17] For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD. [18] When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me. [19] Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities? [20] The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved."
Many have heard the gospel, but yet remain unconverted. They refuse to come out of the blood of the first Adam. The word is going forward: God always sends a warning before He acts. Noah went out warning the people, but they refused to hear. Jeremiah warns the people. They refuse to hear. We are warning the world today. The question is, will they hear? The blood of the first Adam is an evil family. It's death. It’s damnation.
We conclude our reading.
Jeremiah 8:21-22 "For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me. [22] Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?"
Yes, there is a Balm in Gilead. He's on earth today in the Person of the Holy Spirit. Men and women have just chosen to reject Him.
Come out of the blood of the first Adam. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second Adam, as we've revealed Him from the first Adam. There is a balm in Gilead, in Christ!
