Let's take our Bibles and turn
back with me to Jeremiah 32. Jeremiah 32. Having considered the first six
verses in the first message, I'm going to go ahead and just
pick up right in verse 6. after Zedekiah reprimanded Jeremiah
because of Jeremiah's faithfulness to preach the truth. After Zedekiah asked that question, don't I have a right to throw
you in prison for treason? That's what he said. The next
words out of Jeremiah's mouth That's where we're going to pick
up. Now let me do something here. What I want to do is I'm going
to tell you what I'm going to be preaching on. So you'll understand
where I'm going. Every time I make a statement,
I'm going to just go right through these scriptures 6 to 15. But here's what I'm actually
getting at so you'll be with me. The Lord is going to tell Jeremiah
to buy a piece of property in a land in Jerusalem and surrounding
Jerusalem that the Chaldeans are going to take. The Chaldeans
are going to take the land. And everything is going to be
owned by conquest by the Chaldeans. And the Lord is going to tell
Jeremiah, what I want you to do, he said, your cousin's going
to come to you while you're here in prison, and he's going to
want to sell you a piece of property in the land that is besieged. And I want you to buy it. Either that's the stupidest
thing that a man could do, or it's the greatest exhibition
of faith One of the two. Now let me tell you what this
is all about. We're in a world that is captive
to sin, Satan. You know, the Lord said, how
can a strong man go in and take possession of his stuff unless
he binds the strong man first? Then goes in, Satan, because
of Adam's rebellion, had all men born in Adam held in the
bondage of sin. What the Lord is teaching us
is that in this world of sin, in this world of captivity, there
is hope in the purchase of one piece of property. One piece
of property. The Lord Jesus Christ. How do
we buy? We're going to buy it by faith.
Because the Lord is going to tell Jeremiah in the very end.
He said, you're coming back. And he said, houses and lands.
He said, all this is going to be yours. It's coming back. It's going to all be yours. You
go ahead and buy it. There's your heritage right there.
Now, that's where I'm going so you'll understand. So you won't
have to wonder, what's he talking about? Alright, here we go. Jeremiah
32.6, And Jeremiah said, The word of the Lord came unto me,
saying, Behold, Hanameel the son of Shalem thine uncle shall
come unto thee, saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth. For the right of redemption is
thine to buy it. So Hanameel, mine uncle's son,
came to me. in the court of the prison, according
to the word of the Lord, and said unto me, Buy my field, I
pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin.
For the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption
is thine. Buy it for thyself." Then I knew, Jeremiah is saying,
that this was the word of the Lord. And I bought the field
of Hanamel, my uncle's son. Bought it from his cousin. that
was in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even 17 shekels
of silver. And I subscribed the evidence
and sealed it, took witnesses, weighed him the money and the
balances. So I took the evidence of the purchase, both that which
was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was
open. And I gave the evidence of the
purchase unto Barak, the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseah,
in the sight of Hanamel, my uncle's son, and in the presence of the
witnesses that subscribe the book of the purchase before all
the Jews that sat in the court at the prison, or of the prison.
And I charged Barak before them, saying, Thus saith the Lord of
Hosts, the God of Israel, Take these evidences, this evidence
of the purchase, both which is sealed and this evidence which
is opened, and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may
continue many days. For thus saith the Lord of Hosts,
the God of Israel, Houses and fields, vineyards shall be possessed
again in this land. Now, I said a few minutes ago,
a purchase of a piece of property
in a place that has been taken captive, who but a fool or a
believer would do something like that? God Almighty had told Jeremiah,
this is what's going to It's what's going to happen now. You're
going to come. You buy it. You buy it. Can you
imagine how silly Jeremiah looked? Why is this man in the whole
country a prophet? One that God had taught. Taught
the gospel. Revealed the truth. And the Lord
came to him and said, your cousin's going to come and want to sell
you a piece of property. in that land. The Lord said, I'm going
to give it to the Chaldeans. That's what Zedekiah got mad
at Jeremiah about. He said, you're saying that God
said that he's going to give it to the Chaldeans? Put him
in jail. Does the world not think that
the preaching of the gospel, the preaching of the cross, is
that not foolishness? to the world. Listen to this,
1 Corinthians 1.18, for the preaching of the cross. The preaching of redemption of
God's people. The preaching of the glorious
justice of God being satisfied in the person of the Lord Jesus
Christ. That Christ was actually made sin. He who knew no sin. that we might be made the righteousness
of God in Him is the preaching of the cross to them that perish,
not foolishness, that's utter nonsense, but unto us which are
saved, which are being saved. It is the power of God. We rest our soul on this. Jeremiah. Your cousin's going to come,
he's going to want to sell you a piece of property, I want you
to buy it. And I want it all recorded, I want it witnessed,
I want it sealed, you put it in an earthen jug, because he
said, I'm going to tell you something, you're coming back and it's all
going to be yours. Now, let's consider this. Jeremiah's cousin's name was
Hanamel. Hanamel. I looked that up just
to find out what did his cousin's name mean. Here it is. God is
gracious. He said, now I'm going to tell
you something. Jeremiah, the graciousness of God is going
to come to you. That's what he said. Hanamel,
your cousin. Alright? And under the direction
of God's Spirit, this is what Hanamel said. I got this feel. And I pray you, buy it. It's in a place called Anathoth. Look again in verse 8. So Hanamel, my uncle's son, came
to me in the court of the prison, the court of the Word of the
Lord, said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth,
which is in the country of Benjamin. Now, that place, Anathoth. Now remember, this
is a transaction that's going to be dealing with a piece of
property that the Chaldeans are going to own, but the beauty
in this purchase right here is not only seen in the name of
the one that wanted to sell it, Hanumel, God is gracious, but
also It's seen in the place where this piece of property was. It was Anathoth. He said, I got this property,
it's in Anathoth, in the country of Benjamin. Well, I looked up
Anathoth. I wanted to find out what is
it about that city. Here's where it is. Hold your
place right there. Turn to Joshua. Turn to Joshua. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers,
Deuteronomy, Joshua. Joshua. Joshua 21. Joshua chapter
21. I've got this piece of property
and it's in Anathoth and I want you to buy it. Well, Joshua 21. In verse 13, Joshua 21, verse
13, Thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest Hebron with
her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer, and Libna
with her suburbs. Now here's what he's talking
about. He's talking about some cities that were given to the
people. And you know the significance
of a city of refuge, I'm going to tell you anyway. But look
at verse 18 concerning these cities. He named them all. Look at 18. Anathoth with her
suburbs and Almon with her suburbs, four cities. Let me tell you
what Anathoth was, the city. It was one of the cities of refuge. So, back in Jeremiah 32, so the
Lord said, I want you, your cousin is going to come to you, and
he's got this piece of property, and it's one of the suburbs,
right there, it belonged to the city of Anathoth. And Anathoth
was a city of refuge. Now, you remember, whenever the
significance of this, if a Jew killed somebody. It was an accident.
He didn't mean to. He killed him. Before the avenger
of blood got to him, if he could get to the city of refuge and
get inside the city of refuge, then he was safe. He could stay
right there and he had protection. The avenger of blood couldn't
get to him and kill him to have revenge. That city of refuge
was the place you wanted to be. If you kill somebody and it was
an accident before they got to you, you want to get to the city
of refuge. And you know how long you can
stay there? Till the priest died. Now we could have a lot of blessing
in this, you know, Christ is our city of refuge. How long
do you think we're secure with Him who ever liveth? We'd have
a lot of fun for that, wouldn't we? Jeremiah, I want you to buy
this piece of property. It's in Anathoth, a city of refuge. So here was Jeremiah's cousin
offering to sell a piece of property to Jeremiah in one of the cities
of refuge. But let me tell you an amazing
thing about this. This purchase that Jeremiah was
told to make, it was something that could only be purchased. Let me just go back and read
it. Jeremiah 32, verse 8. Middle of that verse, by my field
I pray thee that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin,
for the right of inheritance is thine, is yours, and the right
of redemption is yours. Buy it for thyself. Then Jeremiah
said, then I knew that this was the word of the Lord. Now, here's
Hanumel, his cousin, says, Jeremiah, I want you to buy this property,
because the right of redemption is yours. What that's saying is this. Jeremiah,
you're in the family. Trace all this land back. This
was originally given to you, Jeremiah, by Lot. Remember when
the children of Israel went into the promised land and to this
tribe was given this amount of land and this was given this
amount of land? Let me tell you. Well, I'll tell
you what. Leviticus 25.25. Hold your place. Leviticus, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus. Leviticus 25.25. It's concerning
the right of redemption. Look at verse 23 to 25, Leviticus
25, 23. The land shall not be sold forever
for the land is mine. That's what the Lord said. For
you are strangers and sojourners with me. This is what the Lord
said. All this land I gave you, He said, this is my land. You're
just a sojourner here. You're just passing through.
All this land that we're supposed to own, let me tell you something. We don't own this. He said the
earth is the Lord's. You're just a keeper. You're just a sojourner. And
in all the land of your possession, you shall grant a redemption
for the land. Now look at verse 25, If thy
brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession,
if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that
which his brother sold. So here's what, this land that
Hanumel, Jeremiah's cousin. Well, see,
Jeremiah's cousin means he's in the family too, okay? But
he says, Jeremiah, look, the right of redemption is yours
because you're part of the family. You can buy this. Buy my field
that's in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin, for
the right, the judicial privilege of inheritance is yours. Here was Jeremiah's cousin saying
unto Jeremiah a picture of all of God's elect by this field
that's in the city of refuge. Let me tell you what he's saying
spiritually. Jeremiah, in this land of captivity
where the enemy has got everything surrounded by Christ, by of Christ,
by faith, by faith, by of the city of refuge Himself. I know
you're a prisoner in Zedekiah's house, I understand that. But
outside of that, Chaldeans has got everything else on the outside,
and really they've got Zedekiah's house too, Jeremiah. But spiritually
speaking, by of the city of refuge, listen to me, Believer, we're
in a world that's captive. It's captive. Captive to sin. But Almighty God, His purpose,
His people are not going to stay there. He said, I am your city
of refuge. You buy of me. Is that not what
the Lord said in Isaiah 55, verse 1? Everyone that thirsteth, come
ye to the waters, he that hath no money, come ye, buy and eat,
yea, buy wine and milk without money, without price." How do
believers buy of Christ without money, without price? Can you
set a price on Him? How do you buy? By faith. By faith. And that faith was
not of yourself. He gave you the faith to believe.
It's given unto you to believe. So here the prophet declares,
to all those that by the grace of God have seen their need of
deliverance, come to the fountain of God's overflowing mercy. To you that are spiritually poor,
you don't have anything to buy. What are you going to buy? What
are you going to come up with to purchase a lot, an inheritance, in the city of refuge? He's going
to have to give you the privilege to buy, first of all. And He's
going to have to give you the faith to call upon Him. Lord, have mercy to me. This was the only way that Jeremiah,
that purchase, made any sense whatsoever. Spiritually, what
was happening was God is preaching, not only to Jeremiah, but to
us too. In a place in this world where
this world sees everything that a believer does concerning casting
all of his hope and peace on Christ, and considers that to
be foolishness, the Lord says, By of me. But let me tell you
something else about this place. Not only was this city a city
of refuge, this was also the birthplace. Hold your finger
right there and turn to Jeremiah 1.1. This was where Jeremiah
was born. This is where he was Born, raised,
conceived, right here, Jeremiah 1.1. Let me show you. Look here. Jeremiah 1.1. The words of Jeremiah the son
of Hilkiah of the priest that were in Anathoth, in the land
of Benjamin. This was Jeremiah's home. This was his home place. He had to write. Here was Jeremiah,
a type of a son of adoption. Ephesians 1.5 says, "...predestinated
unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself according
to the good pleasure of his will." Because Jeremiah had the right
of redemption, the right of inheritance, because that was his, that means
that this land that Jeremiah's cousin told him, I want you to
buy, it really did belong, it had come down to, you know, Hanameel,
it was Hanameel's, it was in the family, but remember, Jeremiah
was born here. This was his home place. Hannah
Mills said, you buy of it. Now, where did the right come
from? Where did the right come from? For Jeremiah to buy that piece
of property. Now the Lord said, we read back
in John 1 verse 9, unto those that believe, Unto them was given
the power, the right, or the privilege to be called the sons
of God. God gave them the privilege,
the right, interpreted in the Scriptures, the power to become
the sons of God. Where did Jeremiah get the right
to buy that? Well, he was in his family. Now let me ask you this, you
that by faith call upon the Lord, where did you get the right or
the privilege to call upon the Lord? May I tell you where you
got it? Ephesians 1.4 says, because God
hath from the beginning, you were chosen in Christ. Look at Ephesians 1.4. Let me tell you where a believer
gets the privilege. Where do you get the privilege
to call upon the Lord? Men, women talk about faith as
if that's something that you just pull out of your back pocket.
My friend, if we have the privilege to call upon Him this morning,
God gave us the privilege. Ephesians 1.4, according as He
hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world,
that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love. Look at 2 Thessalonians 2.13
again. I love this passage of Scripture.
I'm like Brother Don Fortner. He said this is my favorite passage
of Scripture right now. 2 Thessalonians 2.13, but we are
bound, 2 Thessalonians 2.13, to give thanks all way to God
for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, because God hath from
the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the
spirit and belief of the truth, whereunto he called you by our
gospel to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. That piece of property right
there, Jeremiah was born in the family that originally was given
that piece of property by God, by the lot. To this family went
this, to this family... Jeremiah was born into that family.
And I want to tell you this, every child of promise, every
one of God's elect, were born, were adopted, predestinated unto
the adoption of children, predestinated by the good pleasure of God Almighty. So a man or a woman that calls
on the Lord, they do so by the grace of God. I can tell you
this right now. You're not going to lay claim to that privilege.
You'll say, well, I just decided one day. I decided. Well, my
question is this. Why did you decide? Well, I exercise
my free will. Oh, really? When the Scripture
says that they were born not of blood, John 1, not of the
will of the flesh, nor the will of the man, but of God? No. I'll tell you why Jeremiah had
the right. God gave him the right. And a
believer calls on the Lord, because God has given him the privilege
to do so. So Jeremiah, the Scripture says,
he bought it. Verse 9, I bought the field of
Hanamel, my uncle's son, that was in Anathoth, and weighed
him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver. Now you know
I got to looking at that. What went through my mind was
this. 17 shekels of silver. I've read a lot of accounts what
that was. Some says as little as 10 bucks. What's a piece of property worth
in a city that's besieged? I mean if you paid a penny for
it, humanly speaking, I mean you're going to lose your money.
What's the difference if you got it for 10 bucks? You're still
not going to have it. unless God has promised you coming
back. He said 17 shekels of silver. So I began to wonder, how did
they come up with that number? How was that number determined? Well, there was a thing called
the Day of Jubilee. was ruled under this order right
here, the Day of Jubilee. It was called the Day of Release,
the Year of Release, Jubilee. In that year, every poor Jew
that was captive was freed. Every mortgaged inheritance went
back to its original owner. And every 50 years, Now, hold
your place in Jeremiah. Turn back to Leviticus 25 again.
Leviticus 25. The Lord has said, all the land
belongs to me now. You're just sojourners here.
This is the way it is. Alright. Here was the rules as
far as a Jew buying a piece of property. from another Jew. This is how it was handled. Leviticus
25, verse 13 to 17. In the year of this Jubilee,
you shall return every man unto his possession. And if thou sell
aught unto thy neighbor, or buyest aught of thy neighbor's hand,
you shall not oppress one another. According to the number of years
after the Jubilee, Thou shalt buy of thy neighbor, and according
to the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee.
According to the multitude of the years, thou shalt increase
the price thereof. According to the fewness of years,
thou shalt diminish the price of it. For according to the number
of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee. Ye shall not
therefore oppress one another, but thou shalt fear the Lord,
for I am the Lord your God." Let me tell you what it just
said. The Lord said if a Jew is going to buy another piece
of property from another Jew, Now we know when the year of
Jubilee is going to be. They had that, that was going
to be on their calendar. They knew when it was. And let me
tell you what's going to happen. If this fellow right here sells
me a piece of property, in the year of Jubilee, it's
going back to him. And everything that I sold is
coming back to me. This is the way it's going to
be. The Lord said this is the way it's going to be. You're not going to oppress
your neighbors. You're not going to buy a piece
of property and he was in a world of hurt and he couldn't, he had
to get rid of it, he had to sell it. And then all of a sudden,
you know, some real estate is going to be developed and they're
going to make it. And then all of a sudden, this piece of property, Chuck,
that I bought is done made, you know, a thousand fold, and I
ain't selling it back to you. I'm keeping it now. I know I
bought it for ten bucks, but it's worth a quarter of a billion
now, and I'm keeping it. The Lord said, no you're not.
You're going to give it right back to Him. But He said, here's
how you're going to determine the value of it. You look at
how many years is left to the year of Jubilee. The farther
away it is to the year of Jubilee, you're going to pay more for
that piece of property. And you're going to be able to use it when
you bought it and you can grow crops on it and put your cattle
on it and you can do whatever you want to do with it. It's
yours. But when it comes to the year of Jubilee, you're giving
it back. All you're doing is just buying this for a little
while. It's yours for a little while.
If it's got that far, to the year of Jubilee, you don't pay
very much for it because it's going back. So that's what the
Lord just told him. He said, considering the amount
of years to the year of Jubilee, if it's a long time, you're going
to pay more. If it's a short time, you're going to pay less.
Whatever it was, back in Jeremiah 32, the year of Jubilee was going
to kick in. And that piece of property right
there was worth 17 shekels of silver. Now, here's the wonder
of this thing. That piece of property that Jeremiah
bought, it was going back to him anyway.
He had the right of inheritance to it. It was going back to him
in the year of Jubilee. So by him buying that, knowing
it was coming back to him, that Jeremiah Owning that piece of
property now, you know what that was? That was an earnest of His
inheritance. This is His, right now, year
of Jubilee, I'm going to have the fullness of it. It's all
coming back to me. But right now, I'm going to possess
it, right now, before the year. Believers know something about
that, about the earnest of our inheritance. Look at Ephesians
1. Ephesians 1, verses 10 to 14. What has the Lord promised
us in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ? Life eternal. Presence with Him. An inheritance. We're heirs of God, joint heirs
with Christ. But you know what we have right
now? We have His Spirit, which is the earnest of our inheritance. We know something about it right
now. And I'll tell you this, it's really ours right now. I
know we see through a glass darkly, we don't see the fullness, I
understand that. But I'll tell you what we do see. Ephesians
chapter 1 verse 10, that in the dispensation of the fullness
of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ,
both of which in heaven which are on earth, even in Him." What
he's saying in this, in due time, all things in Christ are going
to be gathered together, in whom we have obtained an inheritance,
being predestinated according to the purpose of Him, who worketh
all things after the counsel of His own will, that we should
be to the praise of His glory, who first trusted in Christ,
in whom ye also trusted. After you heard the word of truth,
the gospel of your salvation, in whom also after that you believed,
you were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, which is the
earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased
possession under the praise of His glory." Jeremiah, this is
all going to be yours. You're going to get it. It was
given to you by lot. But I'm going to tell you something,
you're going to possess it right now. That's mine. That's mine. By faith, Jeremiah bought it
back in 32. So he said in verse 10, I subscribed
the evidence, I sealed it, took witnesses, weighed in the money
and the balance, took the evidence of the purchase, that was sealed
according to the law and custom, that which was opened. What happened
here? Well, two copies were made. Two
copies. It says right here that Lord
told him, He said, I want you to write this down. Make sure
you write this down, Jeremiah. Get some witnesses to it. Weigh
in the money. Took the evidence. Had one evidence
that was sealed. That's what it says. Look at
verse 11. So I took the evidence of the purchase, both that which
was sealed according to law and custom, and that which was open.
Two copies. of this deed of trust was made,
Carl, two. One of them was taken and it
had all the particulars of this transaction. This is where it's
located, this is the boundaries, this is who witnesses, this is
when it was done, this is the exact amount that was paid, this
is this, all of the, and it was sealed up, sealed up. Then there was an open copy and
I read that To the Jew, an open copy was one that was just over
there. Anybody could come look at it. This piece of property right
here was sold by Hannah Meal and it was sold to Jeremiah and
this is where it's located and Jeremiah paid for it. It was
an open copy. And anybody could come look at
it. If there was ever a dispute about whether or not that open
copy was valid. If you were thinking about buying
that piece of property or something and you kind of wondered about
it, you could take that and you could go to the judge and the
judge would take it and open up the sealed copy. And all of
the particulars, everything that was involved with that purchase
was in that sealed copy. If the validity of that open
copy right there matched up with this one, and everything was
in order, then whatever that sealed copy said, that's the
way it was. You can dispute it if you want
to, but if these two copies right here match, he said, Jeremiah,
I want you to take that sealed copy, you take an open copy,
and he said, you make it all together. Now let me tell you
something in closing. When it comes to the promise
of God's redemption of His people, when it comes to God Almighty
from before the foundation of the world in that everlasting
covenant of grace, all the particulars of all of God's elect, all their
names written in the Lamb's Book of Life. When? From before the
foundation of the world. Everything that Almighty God
eternally purposed is in that sealed copy that was held in
the hand of Him that sat on the throne. And the line of the tribe
of Judah back in Revelation says, He came up and took the book.
out of the hand of Him, sealed with seven seals, the only one
that has the right to open up all of the particulars. Whose
names is found in the Lamb's Book of Life? I don't know. I
don't know. But I can tell you this, according
to God's Word, there is all the particulars of that sealed copy. And there's an open copy, and
anybody can read it. Here it is right here. I can
tell you this, this open copy right here declares that there
is, according to the everlasting covenant of God's grace, according
to that covenant mercy, all the particulars of the triune God,
Father, Son, and Spirit, were all established from before the
foundation of the world. And everything was signed and
sealed according to God's purpose and God's will. And it's held
in His hand. And this open copy right here
declares that it's so. Now one of these days, I'm going
to tell you something. The Lord told the Jews, He said,
this word that I speak, He said, this is the word that's going
to judge you. This open copy right here, this is all we're
going to ever see in this life. But I can tell you this, this
open copy matches perfectly. Though we see through a glass
darkly. It matches perfectly. He said heaven and earth is going
to pass away. My word is not going to pass away. And one day,
the scriptures are going to all be open. That sealed copy and
all the particulars are going to be known. Jeremiah, I want
you to take it and I want you to seal it and put both copies,
he said. He said, I want you to put it
in an earthen vessel. He said, I charged Baruch before
them all, thus saith the Lord God of hosts, the Lord of hosts,
God of Israel. Take these evidences, this evidence
of the purchase, both which is sealed and this evidence which
is open, and put them in an earthen vessel that they may continue
many days. I'll tell you this, I know for
a fact that the treasure of the revelation of this evidence is
put in God's preachers. We're just earthen vessels. We
preach the gospel of God's grace. But let me tell you the earthen
vessel in which these things are truly kept in the man, Christ
Jesus. One that was made like unto his
brethren. the city of refuge Himself, the Lord Jesus Christ,
the Lord of glory, He who came in the likeness of His people,
in the likeness of sinful flesh, yet without sin, made of a woman,
made under the law, all of the evidence of God's mercy and grace
is given for safekeeping in His hand. He's the surety. He's the Lord. He finished the
work. When he died at Calvary, he said,
it's finished. It was put in his hand and kept. The Lord told Jeremiah, he said,
you buy that piece of property. I know right now, it don't look
very promising, I understand that. But he said, you buy that
city of refuge. Because I've given you the privilege
to buy it. I've given you the right to buy
it. I put you in this family, Jeremiah. You buy it. You buy it. And he
said, I want this thing to be witnessed. I'm telling you, God
the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit who was there
In that everlasting covenant of grace, they witnessed it,
and I'm telling you, we witness it as it unfolds before our eyes
right now. We're seeing God call His people
out of darkness. He said, but I want this kept
in a safe place. It's kept in Christ. We declare
it, earthen vessels. I declare it, but I'll tell you
who's keeping it. He is. Kept. by the power of
God. You buy it, he said, because
there's going to be houses and lands. He said, you're coming
back. One day, one day very soon, I'm
convinced, Almighty God is going to end this thing. And this earth's
going to burn up. This heaven's going to burn up.
And you know what God's going to do to this world that's in
captivity right now? He's going to make another one
just like it. Just like it. Because what he originally made
was very good. And he's going to make another
world that's going to be established in righteousness. He said, now
Jeremiah, you buy now. You buy now. Because I've given
you the right of inheritance. Lord, bless these words to our
heart for Christ's sake.
