Jeremiah's Life as a Prophetic Sign

Jeremiah 16: Jeremiah's Life Becomes a Sign.

Jeremiah 16:1-5: "The word of the Lord also came to me, saying, 'You shall not take a wife, nor shall you have sons or daughters in this place. For thus says the Lord concerning the sons and daughters who were born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them, and their fathers who begot them in this land: They shall die gruesome deaths; they shall not be lamented, nor shall they be buried, nor shall they be like refuse on the face of the earth; they shall be consumed by the sword, by the famine, and the corpses shall be meat for the birds of the heavens and for the beasts of the earth.'"

This is horrible stuff, from God's mouth. It's coming again if people don't repent. They won't repent as a nation until it gets really bad. The time of Jacob's trouble. Bad things will happen to people, women, children. You're reading what God told Jeremiah to say then and now.

Jeremiah 16:6-9: "'Nor shall great and small die in this land. They shall not be buried, nor shall men lament for them, cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them; nor shall men break bread in mourning for them to comfort them for the dead; nor shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or their mother. Also, you shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and drink.' For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Behold, I will cause to cease from this place before your eyes and in your days the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.'"

Jeremiah 16:10-16: "'And it shall be, when you show this people all these words, and they say to you, "Why has the Lord pronounced all this great disaster against us? Or what is our iniquity? Or what is our sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?" Then you shall say to them, "Because your fathers have forsaken Me," says the Lord, "for they have walked after other gods and have served them and worshiped them, and have forsaken Me and not kept My Torah. And you have done worse than your fathers, for behold, each of you follows the dictates of his own evil heart, so that no one listens to Me. Therefore I will cast you out of this land into a land that you do not know, neither you nor your fathers; and there you shall serve other gods day and night, where I will show you no favor." God will restore Israel. This is what's going on right now. This is end-of-age prophecy. "'Therefore, behold, the days are coming,' says the Lord, 'that it shall no more be said, "The Lord lives, who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt," but, "The Lord lives, who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them." For I will bring them back into the land which I gave to their fathers. Behold, I will send for many fishermen,' says the Lord, 'and they shall fish them; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. For My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, nor is their iniquity hidden from My eyes. And first I will repay them double for their iniquity and their sin, because they have defiled My land; they have filled My inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable idols.'"

For the Jewish people. Here's for the Gentiles: "'O Lord, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in the day of affliction! The Gentiles shall come to You from the ends of the earth and say, "Surely our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, worthless and unprofitable things—for a man can make gods for himself, which are not gods." Therefore, behold, I will tell you this once and cause them to know My hand and My might, and they shall know that My name is the Lord.'"

This is a very serious prophecy. I wrote a book in 2018 called "God's Fishermen, Satan's Hunters," about this prophecy. The fishermen have been released. It didn't happen after Babylon; they weren't fished back. Cyrus allowed them to go back. They were not hunted back. This started happening in 1948 when Israel became a state. Since then, four million Jewish people have made Aliyah. The fishermen have been released to fish the people back. It's not about Messiah saying "fishers of men" in Matthew 4:19; it's about this prophecy of Jeremiah. Jewish people will fish their own people back home. The Jewish Agency, Aliyah Return Center, World Zionist Organization—these people will bring their own people back. The fishermen have been released. No other time in history has a group of people returned to their homeland like the Jewish people. This shows the God of Israel is alive and well. Under worldly circumstances, they shouldn't be here, but God is true to His covenant.

The hunters are being released right now. European Jews, American Jews—Aliyah. Anti-Semitism is higher than ever in America. The American people are against what Israel is doing. This will turn Americans away from Israel and ultimately cause Jewish people to make Aliyah because everyone will blame the Jewish people. They should blame the Israeli government only. The Israeli government is not doing American Jews any favors, or European Jews, or any Jews worldwide, because everyone hates Israel because of what's going down. The nations hate Israel because of what's going down. We must understand it's going to get really bad for the Jewish people. Stand with them because you love them, you love mankind. But the Jewish people are about the hunters. Look at America, New York, everywhere. It's only going to get worse for Jewish Aliyah to happen. European Jews, same thing. Look at Europe, anti-Semitism. It's time to go home. American Jews, time to go home. I'll probably be over there as well. The hunters are coming. I love the Jewish people. The bottom line is this: the hunters are coming. It's the time of the end where these prophecies will come to fruition. They're ugly, but we must pronounce what the prophet said. Bad times are coming. The fishermen have been released. Afterward, the hunters will hunt them. Their iniquity is not hidden from His eyes. He will repay them double for their sin because they have defiled His land with abominable idols.

For the Christians: "O Lord, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in the day of affliction. The Gentiles shall come to You from the ends of the earth and say, 'Surely our fathers have inherited nothing but lies—worthless and unprofitable things.'" Christians are worshiping in vain if they don't worship according to the scriptures. Christmas, Easter, Sunday Sabbath—you're worshiping Yeshua in vain. Get out of this. Jews and Christians must understand it's coming to us. Hunters for the Jewish people back home, and then hunters for Christians to correct us among the nations.

Summary of Jeremiah 16: Jeremiah's life becomes a sign. God tells Jeremiah not to marry, have children, enter mourning houses, or feasting houses. His personal life becomes a prophetic sign that normal life in Judah is about to collapse. Judgment is coming, but God still promises future restoration greater than the Exodus from Egypt. The fishermen have been released, and the hunters are being released now.
