We cannot abide in (Egypt) sin and keep God’s peace within. God uses whom He wills to teach us. Greed, pride and control are lesser gods… man made idols. Without trust in God alone there is fear.
We need to stay where God has planted us. In obeying His will for our life we will have peace even in adverse situations. Life is not about our desires but His desire to use us as instruments for peace that can only be found in Christ Jesus. Our thoughts and actions should always be filtered through the love the He has for all His creation wanting no man to perish but for all to have eternal life with their Creator.
In the life and death of the Apostles and Martyrs… God is found.
Spread the Good News of the Gospel of Christ. Love not hate shows our devotion to the Triune Godhead.
Jerusalem was brought to desolation because the people broke God’s covenant by worshiping other gods, rejecting the lordship of God, and thus provoking Him to anger.
Jeremiah 44:1-3
44 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who dwell in the land of Egypt, who dwell at Migdol, at Tahpanhes, at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying, 2 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘You have seen all the calamity that I have brought on Jerusalem and on all the cities of Judah; and behold, this day they are a desolation, and no one dwells in them, 3 because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke Me to anger, in that they went to burn incense and to serve other gods whom they did not know, they nor you nor your fathers
7 So they went to the land of Egypt, for they did not obey the voice of the Lord. And they went as far as Tahpanhes.
Jeremiah 43:7
18 At Tehaphnehes the day shall also be darkened, When I break the yokes of Egypt there. And her arrogant strength shall cease in her; As for her, a cloud shall cover her, And her daughters shall go into captivity.
Ezekiel 30:18
13 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “I will also destroy the idols, And cause the images to cease from Noph; There shall no longer be princes from the land of Egypt; I will put fear in the land of Egypt.

16 And set a fire in Egypt; Sin shall have great pain, No shall be split open, And Noph shall be in distress daily.
