Scripture Index: Jeremiah 15:20-23
They can still recognize that it's the Word, because there is still a God. Even if the church says that God died, if the church says the Bible is a bunch of baloney, if the church declares that he is never coming back. All of that. Baloney. When they still hear a man say, “Thus saith the Lord,” and the man is speaking for God; they'll still know it's God, and they'll be scared to death.
So, you know what you’ve got to do when you're scared to death? You've got to figure out how to cover up. You've got to figure out how you can change this around so that you make yourself continue to be the big boy and everybody else’s not. That’s right.
Jeremiah 36:20 - 22a ...they went in to the king into the court, . . . they laid up the [scroll] in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in the ears of the king. 21 So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the [scroll]: and he took it out of . . . the scribe's chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, [he got an earful] and in the ears of all the princes which stood beside the king. 22a Now the king sat in [this] winterhouse.
Counting all his money, the queen was in the parlor. Every time I read this, I think of that.
Jeremiah 36:22b & 23 ...the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him. 23 And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, [columns, columns, you know – columns on the scroll. When he had read three or four columns,] leaves], he [the king, took out his boy scout knife or something, and he] cut it with [his] penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire ... was on the hearth.
Now, isn’t that nice? Heh! Here was this wonderful Word of God. This Word of God that would have set Israel free. This Word of God that would have kept the rest of Israel from ever going into cap… This was Judah and Jerusalem. Would have kept them from going into captivity. All of this as how God would forgive them for their backsliding and everything else. How He would again put them on their feet. When it got over to king’s house, they read it to him, he took out his knife – his penknife was sitting there in front of the hearth at wintertime. He took out his knife. And he read it. He just took it, chopped her up, pitched it in the fire. Read another column, pitched ... chopped her up, pitched it in the fire. That something?
Today, we're still hashing the Word of God to get to pieces with penknives. That’s right. You know why? Because every person basically believes what he wants to believe. And if he doesn't like something, he chops her out, or he gets his theology and makes it agree with what the Word says; and then he still chops it into pieces. Isn’t that right?
All over our nation today, everywhere, men and women are still at the Word of God with their penknives of their intellectual stupidity, or some other way. Anything to chop the Word to pieces.
Now, when we look at this Word of God, we feel rather proud. We say, “Well, I haven't done it.” Yes, you have. So have I, in past times. You see, we think it's sort of bad that he did that. Well, it was bad. But think of it today. We're still doing it. Taking the matters of high places. We're still chopping the Word of God to pieces. Just making a laugh.
A couple years ago, we had a president inaugurated – never belonged to an organized church or anything else until after he got to be president. Then he trounces over and gets taken into membership. Isn't it something? Boy, and how stupid we can be to follow that kind of leadership. How stupid we can be to work for that kind of cause. I tell you, people, it's always the Word of God being chopped to pieces.
Remember in Genesis, in the Foundational Class, that I show you in the third chapter of Genesis how that Satan is always after the Word of God. He’s after the Word of God. Because if he can get rid of the Word of God and get people to think that they still have it, but they're rid of it, then they'll be real religious – as a matter of fact, we can have a wonderful inquisition and everything can move along beautifully because it's all in the name of our God. And today, of course, we call it Christianity. A bunch of baloney. And an individual basis, that’s right.
And most of the places you'll go, you'll find they'll still chop it to pieces with a penknife. I wish I were called to do what I'd like to see someone do, which I knew if God really call them could be done. ...
