Today we learn about the incredible responsibility of the messenger of God.

More bad news for surrounding nations.

Prophecies against many different peoples are proclaimed in today’s chapters.

God continues to state the case against Israel.

Again God warns of the coming wrath but then promises that He will forgive.

This is a pretty graphic depiction of God’s concept of how Israel was unfaithful to Him. Remember, He looked at Israel as His wife.

Newsflash: God’s attitude toward false prophets has not changed!

Something that the people of Israel said is very similar to what many in today’s time are saying: “God doesn’t see us. God is not here.” Listen to what God’s reply was to them.
