Knowing God - God Warns Before Judgment


Jer 44:4
Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate.

The Lord is speaking through Jeremiah here in this verse and is revealing the inevitable calamity that will come upon His people as a result of hardening their hearts to God’s warnings.   God tells them here that He sent his prophets early and warned them way before the consequences became inevitable.  Our God is a God of warning and when His judgment comes we can be assured that God had sent warnings and commands with the hope of a turning away from the course of destruction and onto the path of healing and hope.  We must remain in a place of readiness and humility, hearing and heeding the Lord’s warnings.  They will come early.  He will send them.  Let’s listen, learn and live!
