Scripture Index: Jeremiah 1:4, 11, 13; 2:1,13; 8:20, 22; (Jer 46:11); 15:16; (Jer 15:16); Jer 36:1-16; Jer 15:20-23; Philippians 4:13
Jeremiah 2:1a Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
This is the fourth one. And through those verses, I want you just to put a check mark. Anything so that you recognize it’s, it’s the beginning of a prophecy, and you can just count them up; one, two, three, four, five, so on and so forth.
These 28 chapters of Jeremiah, the first 28 will have to be read tonight and tomorrow and be read, in other words, before the opening of the session tomorrow night. Then Tuesday, of course, we will do the last chapters; 51 or 52 chapters in Jeremiah.
You see, the Book of Jeremiah, if you begin reading it, you will find it most timely. You will discover in the Book of Jeremiah the words of the Lord addressed to our nation and to our peoples in many respects if you will understand the operation of the church. I know to whom the Book of Jeremiah is written, so don't lecture me. I want you to know to whom it's written.
But remember, as I've taught you in the Foundational Classes, that that in the Old Testament which can be applied in context to the church in which you and I live, we still give ear to, because the same God who wrote to Israel also wrote to the church. And the Word in Jeremiah will be timely for this class because this is the most opportune class, the most needful, it's the most urgent class that I have ever taught. The times are such that you people who have the opportunity of sitting in this Advanced Class may find it the most opportune time and the most timely time, because I am not sure that the time will be such that we can have another one within even twelve months.
The hour is dark, the days are beyond anything that any of us in here, I believe, realize tonight. We still go around our daily work. We still go around figuring out how we can improve our businesses and shops and factories. And I'm saying to you that time is over with if you only knew it. You ought to be spending every ounce of strength you have to try to figure out, what can I do with the things of God? How can I help people? What can . . . can I learn more about the Word so I can help myself to stand? So that I can help my family?
This is the most crying and urgent need of this hour, ladies and gentlemen, far beyond what we realize in this auditorium here tonight. It is desperate. The hour is late, the time is almost shocking! And only God, by His mercy and by His grace, has again favored us and privileged us to once again, to begin in the unfolding of this class, Advanced Class on Power for Abundant Living.
I begin the Foundational Class every year, or every time I teach it, with the 13th verse of this particular second chapter of Jeremiah. And I wondered tonight, when I asked you to read Jeremiah, if any of you recalled that this is where is the Foundational Class really begins? Where I use this 13th verse,
Jeremiah 2:13 For my people [God’s people] have committed [what?] two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
Also, here in the Book of Isaiah, in your reading of this wonderful Word of God, you will discover that it is in Isaiah that these favorite and wonderful words come forth.
Jeremiah 8:20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. I have never felt the cry in my heart as I do again tonight to say these words to you,
Jeremiah 8:20a The harvest is past, the summer is ended...
The freedom that you have had to mess your life up with, and to run around and do as you fool please, has terminated. The day is over with. The day is done.
The freedoms that you have experienced in these our United States are at an end. They’re finished. So quit stewing about it. Quit fretting. Quit worrying about it, because it's over with. It's done. What you have to find out is this class is, “How can I tap the resources of God for the more abundant life that I can stand in the midst of all hell, in the midst of all slavery, in the midst of all persecution; that I can still stand?” That’s what you’re in this class for.
