Jeremiah
Chapter
16
{Chapter
16-Chapter 17:18 Part II of Oracle 5 -
The
Sign of the Unmarried Prophet}
{Jeremiah
Begins His Ministry}
1-2~~
The word of Jehovah/God
came
also unto me, saying, 2~~
"You
shall not take you a wife/'right woman' {'ishshah},
neither
shall you have sons or daughters in this place."
{Note: Jeremiah is commanded to phase out his right woman (who has been unfaithful to him). Just as Jeremiah's message to Judea will be their right God will phase them out for being unfaithful in idolatry in the Phallic Cult.}
3~~For
thus said Jehovah/God concerning the sons
and
concerning the daughters that are born in this place;
and
concerning their mothers that bare them,
and
concerning their fathers that
'caused
them to be born'/sired them in this land.
{Note: The children and sons shall die in battle. Most men will die with the rest going into slavery. The mothers and daughters will be raped and most killed, again with the rest going into slavery.}
4~~From
death of diseases, they shall die.
They
shall not be lamented/'overt mourning';
neither
shall they be buried
{no one left to mourn or bury them}.
But
they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth
{just
left to rot in the open field like manure on crops}.
And
they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine.
And
their corpses {n@belah}
shall
be meat for the buzzards/'fowls of heaven',
and
for the wild animals of the earth.
{Note: N@belah means corpses and also means idols. So they were in analogy living corpses when they went into idolatry. Now they are real corpses.}
{Verses
5-7: Sign of the Phase-Out of the Nation}
{No
Funerals or Funeral Parties for Jeremiah for 11 Years}
5~~For
thus said Jehovah/God,
"Enter
not into the house of mourning {funeral parlors},
neither
at any time go to publicly lament nor console them.
For
I have taken away My peace from this people,"
said
Jehovah/God,
"and
My grace and My mercies {grace in action}."
{Note: Skipping the funerals of friends will soon end Jeremiah's category III (friends) love for Jeremiah also. God will now be his category I, II and III love.}
6~~"Both
the great {in authority - leaders}
and
the small
{those who hold no important offices - part of the masses}
shall
die in this land {5th cycle administered}.
They
shall not be buried {no one will be left to do it!}.
Neither
shall . . . {women} publicly/overtly lament for them,
nor
cut themselves nor make themselves bald for them"
{Jewish custom of the woman committing self-mutilation at a
funeral - never authorized by the Word}.
{Note: Jeremiah was commanded by God to stop attending funerals as a sign of no funerals in the nation 11 years later. At this time, NOT attending a funeral of a friend was a REAL social slight! You just did not do this! So, Jeremiah was ostracized by his friends for following this command from God.}
{Note: The practice of self-mutilation actually came from picking up the Gentile practices of the Phallic Cult. Part of the ritual was to mutilate yourself while having sex. This practice moved into funeral customs also.}
7~~"Neither
shall . . . {women}
tear
themselves for them in mourning,
to
comfort them for the dead.
Neither
shall . . . {men} give them
the
cup of consolation {a cup of wine}
to
drink for their father
or
for their mother."
{Note: When a friend's mother or father died, the strong custom was to offer the friend a cup of wine in consolation and say a few words on behalf of the lost loved one. Jeremiah was prohibited from doing this because when the 5th cycle of discipline hits, there is no one to offer the cup of consolation.}
8~~"You
shall not also go
into
the house of parties/'hilarious social life',
to
have fun with them . . .
{including}
to eat {excellent food}
and
to drink alcoholic beverage."
9~~
For thus said the Jehovah/God of the armies/hosts,
the
Elohiym/Godhead of Israel,
"Behold,
I will cause to put an end to
-
out of this place
{Judea going out - including Jeremiah's right woman}
in
your eyes {your right woman is the pupil of the right man's eye},
and
in your days {Jeremiah's life on earth} -
the
voice of 'great happiness in a harmonious human relationship'
{Jeremiah's right woman is phased out in 597 BC -
then Judea in 586 BC},
and
the voice of real 'stimulated emotional pleasure and happiness',
the
voice of the groom
{one of great happiness - woman has responded to him},
and
the voice of the bride {who is perfectly soulishly and
physically fulfilled by her RM}."
10~~"And
it shall come to pass,
when
you shall show this people all these words,
and
they shall say unto you,
Why
has Jehovah/God pronounced all this great evil against us?
Or
'what have we done'?/'what is our perverseness/iniquity'?
Or
what is our sin that we have committed against
Jehovah/God
our Elohiym/Godhead?"
{Note: God anticipates what the Jews will say to Jeremiah when they are being disciplined 'what have we done to deserve this?'}
{Failure
of Generation One}
11~~"Then
shall you say unto them,
Because
your fathers
have
forsaken me from their own free will
{1st Generation of 40 year bracket},"
said
Jehovah/God,
"and
have walked after other elohiym/gods {pattern of apostasy}, and have
become the slave to them {occupation in apostasy},
and
have chosen to worship {shachath} them -
{the desire behind the occupation},
and
have forsaken Me
{defection of the soul - initialization of the apostasy},
and
have not guarded My law
{learned and applied bible doctrine to experience}."
{Note: Shachath is the Hebrew word for worship. It means to 'bow down before them'. But worship really means is respond positively to the object you worship. For a right woman, it is responding to your right man - the bible says 'the woman is to worship her Noble Man' and Sarah called Abraham - lord. Both describe the right woman responding to her right man. For God, it means to be positive to His Word and His commandments.}
{Failure
of Generation Two}
12~~"And
you {children of generation One}
have
been evil
to
do/manufacture
{asah - apostasy/evil from negative volition to doctrine}
more
than your fathers {2nd Generation is worse then parents}.
For,
behold, you keep on walking each one
after
the imagination of his evil heart/'right lobe'
{chose to do evil - free will - scar tissue on the soul -
parents dabbled in the evil, children are saturated in the evil}
that
they may not hear and obey Me
{will not concentrate on and obey God's Will/Plan/Word}."
{Note: God permits generations of apostasy, until He lowers the boom.}
13~~"
Therefore, I {God} am forced/caused to cast you out of this land
{Right God having to phase out his Right People/Woman}
into
a land that you know not . . . neither you nor your fathers.
And
there shall you serve other elohiym/gods . . . day and night
{they chose to be slaves to false gods,
they will be slaves literally then}.
Where
I will not give you grace {chaniynah}."
14~~"Therefore,
behold, the days are coming,"
said
Jehovah/God,
"that
it shall no more be said,
'By
the life of Jehovah/God',
Who
caused the children of Israel
to
be brought out of the land of Egypt."
{Note: The Jews lied so long no one believed them any more. So when they gave their highest 'swear', they would say 'I swear by Jehovah Who brought us out of Egypt . . . This meant to them they were telling at least 99% truth! Jeremiah is using sarcasm.}
{New
Oath for the Future}
15~~"But,
by the life of Jehovah/God,
Who
caused the children of Israel
to
be brought up from the land of the north
{coming Chaldean slavery then recovery},
and
from all the lands where He had driven them
{scattered Jews will come from all directions also}.
And
I will cause them to return
again
into their land that I gave unto their fathers."
{Note: This is the sense of humor of God! You used to swear by the God Who brought you out of Egypt? Well I have a NEW oath for you to swear by! Jeremiah is saying after restoration AFTER the coming 5th cycle of discipline, a NEW oath will be uttered - "By the life of Jehovah who caused the deliverance from the North/Chaldeans" (and remember they have yet to GO into slavery - but they will!).}
{New
Tact - Mechanics of the Restoration from Coming 5th Cycle of Discipline}
{Two
Analogies to Phase out of the Nation}
16~~"Behold,
I will send for many 'fishermen who use nets' {dayag}, said
Jehovah/God, "and they shall fish them
{597BC Nebuchadnezzar takes Daniel and Jewish aristocracy into
captivity - the net scooping up a large segment of the top Jews -
but Nebuchadnezzar leaves the king in place at this time
see Jeremiah 29:2}.
And
after will I send just this once
many
hunters {to capture and kill - terrible violence},
and
they shall hunt them
from
every mountain,
and
from every hill,
and
out of the holes of the rocks
{586BC Nebuchadnezzar destroys nation taking the rest into
captivity very strong statement here. So is God fair? Next
verse.}."
17~~"For
My {God} eyes are upon
all
their ways {functions of apostasy}.
They
are not hid from My face,
neither
is their iniquity/'evil works'/depravities
hid
from My eyes."
{Double
Losers Get Double Discipline}
18~~"But
first
{back to before verse 15 where there is restoration -
God gives out double discipline}
I
{God} 'have a debt to pay off'/'will recompense for'
their
iniquity/depravities/'evil workings' . . .
and
{will pay off} their sin . . . double!
Because
they have defiled my land . . .
{daily rejection of God's Word - moving into Phallic Cult}
{because}
they have filled/substituted My inheritance
with
the 'corpses'/'idols'/'nothings' {n@belah}
of
their detestable {manufactured idol}
and
abominable things {sex act in front of the idol}.
{Note: They lose blessing from the Love of God - category I love. They lose blessing of Right Man/ Right Woman love in the fornication of the Phallic Cult. Double losers. The double 'pay-off' will be concentrated misery for the next approximately 10 years. There are two sins in view here - idolatry and adultery.}
{Note: N@belah in the Hebrew means BOTH a corpse and an idol. An idol is a dead, meaningless thing that people both worship and use in sexual practices of the Phallic Cult. If you 'make love' to an idol/corpse, you will become a literal corpse yourself.}
{Jeremiah's
Double Portion -
and then How Gentiles Benefit from Jeremiah's Double Portion}
19~~O
Jehovah/God,
my
power/strength/majesty/glory/splendor
{Jeremiah's 1st portion - all meanings apply},
and
my fortification/refuge/stronghold
{Jeremiah's Double portion - iron in his soul},
and
{amplification of fortification} my refuge in the day of affliction.
The Gentiles shall come unto you from the ends of the earth,
and
shall say, "Dogmatically, our fathers
have
inherited lies/fraud/deceit/idols {whole function of idolatry}, idols/nothings/meaninglessnesses,
and
there is not profit at all among them."
{Note: Jeremiah's right woman and all the apostate Jews are against God and bible doctrine. All these will suffer a double portion of discipline for the idolatry and adultery of the Phallic Cult. Instead, there will be positive Gentiles. This verse tells us the Gentiles here will end up with the double portion of the blessings from God that normally go to the Jews in the Jewish Age.}
20~~"Shall
a man {adam} manufacture
{'asah - out of negative volition}
elohiym/gods
unto himself,
and
they are no elohiym/gods?"
21~~"Therefore,
behold, I will just this once
cause
them to know My hand {His blessings and assistance}
and
My might {power of God as their 2nd portion}.
And
they {Gentiles} shall know
{respond to God's love through bible doctrine}
that
My name/person/reputation/'essence' is Jehovah/God."
{Note: This is a special 70 year period when Gentiles can have the double portion during the Jewish Age - the Church has the double portion in the Church Age - Why? The Jews are again out under the 5th cycle of discipline.}
