“Behold, That Which I Have Built, I Will Break Down”
Reference Jeremiah chapter 45
God built the nation of Israel out of the loins of Abraham, but he had to break down the nation because they walked contrary to His Word. He did not do that to destroy them, but to restore them back to His Word, for anything outside the Word of God is self-destruction.
God built Adam in creation, and Adam self-destructed in unbelief of the Word of God. God broke down Adam, not to destroy him. I want to restore Adam and all his generations back to faith in the Word of God. A man or woman walking in line through faith in the Word of God is always the plan of God.
The Word of God through Jeremiah comes to Baruch the scribe.
Let's read.
Jeremiah 45:1-3 “The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying, [2] Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch; [3] Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.”
Whatever we say, whether in a whisper or loud, is heard by God. He knows even our thoughts. God knew what Baruch had said, and God was responding to Baruch.
We continue our reading.
Jeremiah 45:4 “Thus shalt thou say unto him, The LORD saith thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land.”
Heaven and earth shall pass away. Anything that is not in line with the Word of God shall be destroyed. God will break it down and restore it with the new Jerusalem. A new earth where God will dwell with His children in peace and harmony. Just as He brought the children of Israel to the promised land, God is bringing the believer in the ultimate promised land.
John 14:2-3 “In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. [3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”
The believer is going to the promised land.
We conclude our reading.
Jeremiah 45:5 “And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.”
He is the giver of life in creation, and He is the giver of life in salvation. This Life that He gives has a name. His name is Jesus Christ.
Receive life. BELIEVE, and confess Jesus Christ, the life of God, as we reveal Him from the first Adam. The Way, the Truth, and the Life, in Christ!
