May 13 - Jeremiah 22:29

O land, land, land,

hear the word of the Lord!

Jeremiah 22:29

In the old Hebrew traditions, if you said something once, it was important. If you said it twice, it was doubly important. If you said it three times in a row, it was infinitely important.

For example, when the seraphs in Isaiah 6 were calling out, worshiping the Lord, they weren’t just saying that God was “holy” … but “holy, holy, infinitely holy.”

What, therefore, does it mean when Jeremiah says, “land, land, land”?

It’s like when your mom your calls you. If she says, “Eddie,” it’s important. If she says, “Eddie Thomas,” it’s doubly important. If she says, “Edward Lee Thomas,” it’s life or death! (Usually the child’s life or death, if he doesn’t obey!)

Jeremiah’s warnings were life and death. If they chose not to listen to “the word of the Lord,” it was going to lead to their destruction.

If you were God, what would you be saying to our land today? “America, America, America, hear the word of the Lord!”

Tomorrow, I’ll show a few prophetic pieces of advice to this or any nation.

In Christ’s Love,

Edward Lee Thomas
