Who is wise enough to understand this?
Who is there who will receive the word from the mouth of Jehovah and proclaim it?
Why has this land been laid waste and burned like a wilderness, so that no one passes through it?|
Yehowah says: “This is because they have forsaken My law, which I set before them.
They have not obeyed My voice, nor walked according to it. Instead,
they have followed the stubbornness of their hearts
and gone after the Baals, as their fathers taught them.”
Jeremiah 9:12–14
The word that God has revealed concerning Himself is this:
There is no other God besides Yehowah.
Yet the traditions handed down from our ancestors teach
that there are other gods besides Jehovah.
People forsake the law established by God.
They refuse to listen to His voice.
Instead, following the stubbornness of their hearts,
they pursue the gods that their ancestors taught them.
In ancient times, it was Baal.
But today, it is the teaching that God exists as three, rather than that He is one.
This is a strange and fearful thing.
“There is a wonderful and horrible thing committed in the land;
The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their own authority;
and My people love to have it so. And what will you do in the end?”
Jeremiah 5:30–31
God has existed alone from everlasting to everlasting, and His name is Yehowah.
And in the fullness of time, just as He had promised, that very God came as a Son,
became flesh, died for us, and rose again from the dead. Hallelujah!
