Daily Manna. TOPIC: The Day of Gods Wrath. Saturday, July 12, 2014 JULY REVIVAL PROMO. TEXT: JEREMIAH 25:12-29. Key verse: “For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it” (Jeremiah 25:15). In the Scriptures, intoxicating wine is sometimes used to depict God’s anger and wrath against sin and all ungodliness. The effect of God’s righteous judgment would be similar to that of an intoxicating wine, destroying their sensibilities and herding them to eternal doom. Here, in our text, Jeremiah had prophesied that God would repay sinful nations, with Babylon occupying a very prominent position, for their evil deeds. Judah’s years in Babylonian captivity seemed to have had little effect in their total obedience to God’s word. Rather, they sank deeper and deeper into sin and idolatrous worship: “For lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should you be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished, for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts” (verse 29). Is it possible that the same message would be preached for the whole of twenty- three years, the same warning given and the same alarm raised from the roof tops about God’s hatred for sin and wickedness with its inescapable consequences, and the people be not moved? Can a people or a nation remain unrepentant and unperturbed for so long? Yes, so it was then with the nations of the world in Bible days, and so it is today. At the moment, the anger of the Lord is still waxing strong against all ungodly individuals and nations. Although religious houses are springing up on every corner of the city, sin has assumed an alarming sophistication. Yet, God is watching and waiting. He has no pleasure in the sinner’s death. He requires you to repent of your sins and be reconciled unto Him. He paid the price by making the provision through His dear Son, Jesus Christ. Have you heard this message for twenty-three years, or more or less? the time to repent and to heed His call is now. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: To be forewarned is to be forearmed.
