Jeremiah 52:1-5 "God has Spoken"

Jeremiah 52:1-5

We have come to the end of Jeremiah. All throughout the book i looked for hopeful things. God’s saving of the remnant, hope for those who repent, looks forward to the return and even the coming of Jesus. Yet here in the end what God has said does happen. What God has spoken about judgment has become reality. The end of Jeremiah reminds us that God is not safe. While loving and offering forgiveness, God angry, vengeful and not afraid to bring destruction to those who do not repent.

1. The certainty of judgment

3. A sure hope
