Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 3, 2025

Prophesy to a nation that does not hear, see or obey. That was Jeremiah’s task. The nation had become the generation of His wrath, as ours are today. Judgement is coming. There would be sorrow and death coming, so God said to shave off the hair. God is not mocked – His promise will come.
