PRAYER - "A Dishonest Prayer Will Only Bring Trouble"
Jeremiah told Judah, "Ye dissembled in your hearts, when ye sent me unto the LORD your God, saying, Pray for us unto the LORD, ...all that the LORD our God shall say, ...we will do it." They "dissembled;" gave a false, misleading, hypocritical, camouflaged statement to God. They would not obey the LORD, and He knew it the moment they said it. You can never pull off a scam with God. He knows your phony heart the moment you manifest it.
Jeremiah 42:22 - "Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die ...in the place whither ye desire to go."
PRINCIPALS - "Johanan Betrays Jeremiah, Takes Remnant To Egypt"
Johanan was the hero who defeated Ishmael, who tried to overthrow the remnant of Judah. Johanan recaptured every hostage Ishmael had taken. But Johanan wanted everybody to flee to Egypt. He hated the word of the LORD from Jeremiah, forbidding them to flee to Egypt. Johanan and his crowd accused Jeremiah of delivering Judah to the Chaldeans to die. You should be TERRIFIED of wanting your will more than God's will.
Jeremiah 43:5,7 - "Johanan ...took all the remnant of Judah, ...So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the LORD."
PRINCIPLES - "Evil Spirits Will Encourage Your Defiance"
The rebellious Jews immediately committed idolatries and worshipped Egypt's false gods. Jeremiah argued that God made their brethren desolate for committing such abominations in Judah. Jeremiah prophesied that these Jews would be utterly consumed in Egypt. Their reply was shocking! They boasted that since they began burning incense and making offerings to the queen of heaven, they had marvelously prospered; and when they halted, they "wanted all things." Satan powerfully deludes multitudes with prosperity.
Jeremiah 44:16 - "As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee."
PROPHECIES - "Egypt Will Be Like Stones In A Brick Kiln"
Almost everybody hated Jeremiah's prophecies, but it did not stop them from coming to pass. When the remnant of Judah fled to Egypt against God's orders, God told Jeremiah to hide stones inside of clay in a brick kiln at the entrance of Pharaoh's house. He prophesied that Nebuchadnezzar would come and smite Egypt, and capture and kill with sword and with fire.
Jeremiah 43:12 - "And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, ...and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire."

PRINCIPALS - "Ishmael Kills Gedaliah; Johanan Defends Judah"
Just as hope sprang up in the hearts of the remnant of Judah, the Ammonite king persuaded Ishmael, son of Nethaniah of David's seed royal, to kill their governor, Gedaliah. Ishmael killed Gedaliah, his men of war at Mizpah, and eighty more men. Then, he kidnapped the women of Mizpah. But Johanan raised an energetic counter-attack against him, and rescued all the hostages. Ishmael fled back to the land of Ammon. Even if you just faced the greatest trial of your life, you have to keep fighting.
Jeremiah 41:17 - "They departed, and dwelt ...by Bethlehem."
PRINCIPLES - "Major Threat Is Past; Beware Minor Threats!"
With Gedaliah as the newly-appointed Governor of Judah, the Jews who were in hiding quickly returned, and began to prosper in the vineyards and fields. Johanan came to Gedaliah to warn him that trouble was brewing among the Ammonites. "The king of the Ammonites hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to slay thee." Johanan asked permission to slay Ishmael, but Gedaliah refused. Sometimes, we think our only threat is the BIG enemies. Satan will exploit your naiveté. Be watchful!
Jeremiah 40:16 - "Gedaliah ...said unto Johanan, ...Thou shalt not do this thing: for thou speakest falsely of Ishmael."
PROPHECIES - "God Promised Blessing In Judah, Cursing In Egypt"
The people asked Jeremiah to pray for them, so Jeremiah prayed. Ten days later, the LORD answered. He promised to build them up if they stayed in Judah, but they would all die by sword, or famine, or pestilence if they fled to Egypt.
Jeremiah 42:13-14,18 - "If ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the LORD your God, ...Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, ...so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt."
PRAYER - "Why Pray, If You Will Not Heed The Answer?"
The people of Judah promised they would do whatever the LORD told them if Jeremiah would pray. But they reneged. You will never win like that.
Jeremiah 43:1-4 - "When Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the words of the LORD their God, ...then spake Azariah ... and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the LORD our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there. ...So Johanan ...and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the LORD, to dwell in the land of Judah."
