WOE TO THOSE WHO WANT TO TAKE YOUR LIFE BECAUSE OF GOD’S PURPOSE UPON YOUR LIFE
People of Ananoth ( Jeremiahs hometown fighting Him)
The way people fight prophets now day’s is a real predicament of what Jeremiah experienced as due to his prophetic messages
From an exuberant perspective we realise that Jeremiah reached a point in His life where people wanted to take His life as due to the prophecies that He was giving to the nations and also the people of the Lord.
They threatened Jeremiah.. Do not prophesy in the name of the Lord or else we will take your life Jeremiah 11:21-22[21]Therefore thus says the Lord about the men of Anathoth [Jeremiah’s hometown], who seek your life [Jeremiah] and say, Prophesy not in the name of the Lord, that you die not by our hands–[22]Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, I will punish them. Their young men will die by the sword, their sons and their daughters will die by famine;
