God Declares His Absolute Sovereignty!


[Taken from Jeremiah Chapter 27; a chapter that is a demonstration
Of the absolute Sovereignty of God.
Today, God is Sovereign over every nation, which includes America.]

Early in the reign of Zedekiah son of Joshia king of Judah,
This Word came to Jeremiah from the Lord:
'Make a yoke out of straps and crossbars and put it on your neck.
Then send word to the kings of Edom, Moab, Amon, Tyre and Sidon
Through the envoys who have come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah.
Give them this message for their masters and say,
'This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says:

'Tell this to your masters:
With My great power and outstretched arm I made the earth and its people
And the animals that are on it, and I give it to anyone I please.
Now I will hand all your countries over to my servant Nebuchadnezzar
King of Babylon;
I will make even the wild animals subject to him.
All nations will serve him and his son and his grandson
Until the time for his land comes;
Then many nations and great kings will subjugate him.

'If, however, any nation or kingdom will not serve Nebuchadnezzar
King of Babylon or bow it neck under his yoke,
I will punish that nation with the sword, famine and plague,
Declares the Lord, until I destroy it by his hand.
So do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your interpreters of dreams,
Your mediums or your sorcerers who tell you,
'You will not serve the king of Babylon.' They prophesy LIES to you
That will only serve to remove you far from your lands;
I will banish you and you will perish.

But if any nation will bow its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon
And sever him, I will let that nation remain in its own land to till it
And to live there, Declares the Lord.'

I gave the same message to Zedekiah king of Judah.
I said, 'Bow your neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon;
Sever him and his people, and you will live.
Why will you and your people die by the sword, famine and plague
With which the Lord has threatened any nation
That will not serve the king of Babylon?

Do not listen to the words of the prophets who say to you,
'You will never serve the king of Babylon,'
For they are prophesying LIES to you.
'I have not sent them,' Declares the Lord.
'They are prophesying LIES in My Name.
Therefore, I will banish you and the prophets who prophesy to you.'

Then I said to the priests and all these people,
'This is what the Lord says:
'Do not listen to the prophets who say,
'Very soon now the articles from the Lord's House
Will be brought back from Babylon.' They are prophesying LIES to you.
Do not listen to them. Serve the king of Babylon, and you will live.
Why should this city become a ruin?
If they are prophets and have the Word of the Lord,
Let them plead with the Lord Almighty
That the furnishings remaining in the House of the Lord
And in the palace of the king of Judah and in Jerusalem
Not be taken to Babylon.

For this is what the Lord Almighty says about the pillars, the Sea,
The movable stands and the other furnishings that are left in this city,
Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take away
When he carried Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim king of Judah into exile
From Jerusalem to Babylon,
Along with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem--
Yes, this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel says about things
That are left in the House of the Lord and in the palace of the king of Judah
And in Jerusalem:
'They will be taken to Babylon and there they will remain
Until the day I come for them,' Declares the Lord.
'Then I will bring them back and restore them to this place.' (Jeremiah 27)

[Understand this, the God of Israel, the Lord Almighty,
Is SOVEREIGN over America and every nation of the face of the earth.
His Word will be completed exactly
As He has spoken it through His prophets.
Any nation that does not honor Him will be brought to nothing!
All together the nations are a drop in a bucket! They are nothing,
Less than nothing because they are all godless.
In the END all the armies of all the nations
Will come to fight against Christ Jesus and they will be destroyed.
All the cities of all the nations will collapse.
Christ Jesus will then set up His Eternal Kingdom on earth.
His Kingdom will come and His will be done on earth as in Heaven,
In answer to the prayers of the saints.
Those who prophesy anything but that conforming to the Word of God
Will be put to shame and all who follow them.

Today, let us plead for God's people; 
That they will be able to stand in what lies ahead;
That all those who are willing, will receive the Christ of God, Jesus! 
I pray that all who read this will be able to stand before the Christ Jesus
Unashamed at His soon coming.]

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
Save yourself from this corrupt generation! (Acts 2:40)
As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
