"THEIR REDEEMER IS STRONG"
Jer 50:34
OPENING PRAYER
Ever righteous and Holy Lord, we thank-You for gathering us together in congregation so that we may hear Your message, Your Word, Your guidance on this Holy day. Permit the Bible to come alive in our minds and remove the vail that we might see the majesty of Your being, in Jesus we pray, AMEN
MESSAGE
The Book of Jeremiah is where we anchor on this Holy day. The year is 575 BC and the prophet Jeremiah is communicating a warning that God's judgment against Babylon and Babylonia is now at hand.
Here in chapter 50, verse 34 we read this condensed version of Jeremiah's message and what Babylon will soon face;
{Jer 50:34 nasb} --"Their Redeemer is strong, the LORD of hosts is His name; He will vigorously plead their case So that He may bring rest to the earth, But turmoil to the inhabitants of Babylon."
Time and time again, throughout Biblical history, God's chosen people vacillate back and forth from belief and and obedience then return to rebellion and evil.
As the minor prophet{Amo 5:12}nasb For I know your transgressions are many and your sins are great, You who distress the righteous and accept bribes And turn aside the poor in the gate.
When God has had enough of the rebellion, He often will "GIVE THEM OVER" to those who would enslave or kill them. God would allow the enemies to win the battles, causing His cherished people to suffer for their collective back-sliding, for turning their back and turning away from the Lord! Back and forth, over and over again. DO WE EVER LEARN?
Here are the TOP SEVEN enemies of God's people forged early in Genesis, Chapter 10. Number 1: The Hittites, #2 The Girgasites, #3 The Amorites, #4 The Canaanites, #5 The Perizzites, #6 The Hivites, and Number Seven; The Jebusites. These were the current occupants of the promised land that God had given the Israelites who were led by Moses and now the Lord would dislocate them and give this promised land to them.
In {Psa 89:18-26}nasb Ethan the Ezrahite composes a song of contemplation called a Maskil. Such a psalm is often used to impart wisdom or to teach, or for meditation;
(18) For our shield belongs to the LORD, And our king to the Holy One of Israel.
(19) Once You spoke in vision to Your godly ones, And said, "I have given help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people. (20) "I have found David My servant; With My holy oil I have anointed him, (21) With whom My hand will be established; My arm also will strengthen him.
(22) "The enemy will not deceive him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him. (23) "But I shall crush his adversaries before him, And strike those who hate him.
(24) "My faithfulness and My lovingkindness will be with him, And in My name his horn will be exalted.
(25) "I shall also set his hand on the sea And his right hand on the rivers. (26) "He will cry to Me, 'You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.'
The Author of this Psalm also delivered a significant messianic prophesy through the SONG. The Hidden Message is: OUR REDEEMER IS STRONG!
Here in Isa 49:26 we witness how the Lord deals with severe oppression from it's enemies: I caution you, it is not a pleasant thing to suffer at the hand of almighty God; {The Lord is speaking} "I will feed your oppressors with their own flesh, And they will become drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine; And all flesh will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."
A bit later in Isa 63:1-4 we join a group of observers watching the approach of a stranger into their midst; Who is this who comes from Edom, With garments of glowing colors from Bozrah, This One who is majestic in His apparel, Marching in the greatness of His strength? "It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save." (2) Why is Your apparel red, And Your garments like the one who treads in the wine press? (3) "I have trodden the wine trough alone, And from the peoples there was no man with Me. I also trod them in My anger And trampled them in My wrath; And their lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments, And I stained all My raiment. (4) "For the day of vengeance was in My heart, And My year of redemption has come.
OUR REDEEMER IS STRONG!
As John describes in Joh 3:18-19, "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (19) "This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil."
Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. {Heb 7:25}
OUR REDEEMER IS STRONG!
" Why was there no man when I came? [says the LORD], When I called, why was there none to answer? Is My hand so short that it cannot ransom? Or have I no power to deliver? Behold, I dry up the sea with My rebuke, I make the rivers a wilderness; Their fish stink for lack of water And die of thirst." {Isa 50:2}
Many of the psalms have been hymns and used during travels and for temple praise and holy purposes. They are also ready-made prayers for our use. Over the years, the melodies used to support these songs of praise and or prophesy have been lost. Such a shame. I would have loved to hear the actual melody that supports the words and the prayers! How about you?
SUMMARY
Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? (36) Just as it is written, "FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED." ...(38) For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, (39) nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. {Rom 8:35-39}
As we wrap up this Holy day, commit yourself Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, (25) to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. {Jud 1:24-25}nasb
CLOSING PRAYER
Almighty God, You are our Strong Redeemer. Although our faith is strong, we need to apply this faith to every part of our lives while remembering that all glory is Yours and Yours alone. We love You with all of our heart, mind, and soul through Jesus the Christ, Our King, Our Redeemer, AMEN

THE CALL
If you have never invited Jesus to be your Lord and savior, or, if you have in the past yet remain unsure of salvation and forgiveness of sin, Please pray with me now: Lord Jesus I need to fill a hole in my life that follows me where ever I go. I am a long-time Sinner and I CONFESS and REPENT of all my sins. I believe that You JESUS are the Lord, that you were hung on a cross and died. I believe that you were raised back to life by God, Your Father, ascended into heaven and presently sit at the right hand of The Almighty. Please come into me, clean me, take me and make me Yours and let me serve from this day forward and forever, Thank-You Jesus, AMEN
If you sincerely prayed with me, your salvation has been assured. {Rom 10:9 KJV} -That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
