Jeremiah 5 That there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts Jeremiah 5: 20Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying, 21Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not: 22Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it? 23But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. 24Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest. It is amazing to me that these people have experience and seen the prophecies of God come to pass and yet they choose to ignore God warning and instructions. The Jews had turn the worship of God in to a religion. They would come out to service, read the bible and perform whatever service that is required of them but their heart was not in it.

They dis-respect God in their sermon by preaching “you can create your future by faith”. It seems that they think God answers to them, as if God has to carry out their demands (the name-it-and-claim-it group or blab-it and-grab-it). They also have warnings concerning an impending judgment and the return of Jesus Christ (Rapture) and yet, they reject God counsel as found in the “Word of God”. Even this afternoon I was witnessing to “Christian” about the coming of Jesus and they still do not think Jesus is near.
