“Learn Not The Way Of The Heathen”
Reference Jeremiah Chapter 10
The heathen nations were the nations who had no concept of God. They were idol worshippers. Today, the heathen is the individual who believes in horoscopes, energy, psychics, and sorcery. The heathen is the individual who remains in the blood of the first Adam through unbelief.
Let's read.
Jeremiah 10:1-2 ‘Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: [2] Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.’
The unbeliever or heathen dwells in the cursed blood of the first Adam. They have not entered the blessed blood of the second Adam. The heathen believes in the signs of heaven instead of the One Who created heaven. The heathen believes what they can see, hear, touch, and feel, instead of the unseen, the untouched, the unfelt, Living God. True faith is the evidence of things not seen, not felt, not heard.The heathen without knowledge is an unbeliever. He or she is not even aware of their unbelief. Jesus said, "Blessed are those who have not seen yet believe."
John 20:29 “Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.”
These signs shall follow those who believe. The signs of God do not come before we believe but after we believe. Signs do not lead faith but follows faith. Signs leads unbelief.
John 11:41-42 "Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. [42] And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me."
We continue our reading.
Jeremiah 10:3-10 “For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. [4] They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. [5] They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. [6] Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might. [7] Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee. [8] But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities. [9] Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men. [10] But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.”
The heathen built their own gods with stones, wood, silver, and gold, and worshiped them, but the true God lives from everlasting to everlasting. The heathen or unbeliever has no concept of this true Living God. They worship the sun god, the moon god, Buddha, or some kind of animal. In some nations, all animals are gods, and they are worshipped.
We continue our reading.
Jeremiah 10:11-16 “Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens. [12] He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. [13] When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. [14] Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. [15] They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. [16] The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name.”
The Lord of Hosts is His name. He has placed His name in His Word, His Word that became flesh and dwelt among men. His Name in His Word is called Jesus Christ.
We conclude our reading.
Jeremiah 10:17-25 “Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress. [18] For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so. [19] Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it. [20] My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains. [21] For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered. [22] Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons. [23] O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. [24] O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing. [25] Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.”
The pastors and the teachers have become brutish. They have not sought the Lord. They were preaching out of their own minds. Today, God has revealed His Word to go forth to all nations. The revelation of blood: the blood of the first Adam versus the blood of the second Adam. Teachers teach it, pastors preach it. That is the Word of God.
Place your faith in the Creator and not the creation. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the Creator, as we've revealed Him from the first Adam. The Lord of Hosts is His Name, in Christ!
Reference Jeremiah Chapter 10
The heathen nations were the nations who had no concept of God. They were idol worshippers. Today, the heathen is the individual who believes in horoscopes, energy, psychics, and sorcery. The heathen is the individual who remains in the blood of the first Adam through unbelief.
Let's read.
Jeremiah 10:1-2 ‘Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: [2] Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.’
The unbeliever or heathen dwells in the cursed blood of the first Adam. They have not entered the blessed blood of the second Adam. The heathen believes in the signs of heaven instead of the One Who created heaven. The heathen believes what they can see, hear, touch, and feel, instead of the unseen, the untouched, the unfelt, Living God. True faith is the evidence of things not seen, not felt, not heard.The heathen without knowledge is an unbeliever. He or she is not even aware of their unbelief. Jesus said, "Blessed are those who have not seen yet believe."
John 20:29 “Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.”
These signs shall follow those who believe. The signs of God do not come before we believe but after we believe. Signs do not lead faith but follows faith. Signs leads unbelief.
John 11:41-42 "Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. [42] And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me."

The Lord of Hosts is His name. He has placed His name in His Word, His Word that became flesh and dwelt among men. His Name in His Word is called Jesus Christ.
