" 'Get yourself ready!
Stand up and say to them whatever I command you.
Do not be terrified by them,
or I will terrify you before them.
Today I have made you a fortified city,
an iron pillar and
a bronze wall to stand against the whole land
— against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests and the people of the land.
They will fight against you
but will not overcome you,
for I am with you and will rescue you,'
declares the Lord."
- Jeremiah 1:17-19 |

Jeremiah's Call and Commission |
|
|
1:17
Jeremiah’s commission includes three commands which combined commands, warnings and promises:
- “Get yourself ready” – from the idiom “gird up your loins: which comes from the need to tie the long robe around the waist in order to work or run feely. This is seen in 1 Kings.18:46
and 2 Kings 4:29.
- “Stand up and Say to them whatever I command you” –
- “Do not be terrified by them, or I will terrify you before them” – “terrify” is literally “to shatter” or “to break in pieces.” According to translators and commentators God is sayings:
- “Trust me and do not let the people “shatter” you , or else I will “shatter” you myself!
- “Don’t lose your nerve, or I will shatter your nerve” (J. Bright)
- “Do not let your spirit break at sight of them, or I will break you.” (NEB)
- “Do not be panicked, or I will give you something to fear!”
- “Do not break down, or I will break you!” (NRSV
1:18
Jeremiah is given promises:
- I have made you a fortified city – Jeremiah would be like a walled city that could not be broken into. Although Jerusalem’s walls would fall, Jeremiah’s walls would stand firm.
- I have made you an iron pillar
- I have made you a bronze wall to stand against the whole land
- To stand against the kings of Judah
- To stand against the officials of Judah
- To stand against the priests of Judah
- To stand against the people of Judah
These same images and metaphors, such as “bronze wall” and “iron pillar”, are used
by Thutmose the III to describe himself to present the appearance of being undefeatable.
1:19
- They will fight you
- They will not overcome you
- I am with you
- I will rescue you

"[The 4 spiritual laws and sinner's prayer] is not the gospel of Jesus Christ, and that methodology and envangelism has done more to hurt this country than every heresy introduced by every cult combined. Millions of people in this country whose lives have never been changed believed themselves born again because we have so reduced the gospel of Jesus Christ that it means now nothing more than simple decision that will only take five minutes of your time."
- Paul Washer |
