Jeremiah was used to losing popularity contests. Among all of Israel\u2019s prophets, his message was the most irritating to his contemporaries. There were, apparently, no shortage of false leaders who peddled messages that soothed and assuaged, mostly by denying the severity of the impending doom. Unique in his generation, Jeremiah stuck with a message that was true, tragic, and avoidable. But only if his peers listened, only if his generation were willing to do the work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Those words are no less relevant now. \u201cfrom prophet to priest, all deal in falsehood. They relieved the [impending] disaster of My people by making light of it, saying, \u2018Peace! Peace! But there is no peace\u201d (verse 14).<\/span><\/p>\n

There are countless similar challenges we face today: policies that might yield short term benefit but cannot be sustained in the long run, conflicts we can suppress through violence and coercion but which threaten to boil over someday in the future, issues that receive proclamations of outrage and concern when they erupt, but quickly are ignored as people go back to their day-to-day somnabulance.<\/span><\/p>\n

In each case, there are no shortage of leaders \u2013 elected politicians, appointed clergy, self-appointed twittermeisters \u2013 who will happily lull us all back into doing nothing. And the few who shout out in protest, well, they appear extreme, insensitive, out of step.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can you think, in your own circle of concern, of a festering issue or a moral outrage that demands attention, but that the \u201creasonable\u201d leaders in your community avoid solving, and most people simply look away?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jeremiah would like a word with them. And with you.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":69236,"id":69236,"title":"jer6-cry","filename":"jer6-cry.jpg","filesize":0,"url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/jer6-cry.jpg","link":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/peace-peace-but-there-is-no-peace\/jer6-cry\/","alt":"","author":"7","description":"","caption":"","name":"jer6-cry","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":69235,"date":"2020-01-27 21:28:27","modified":"2023-06-05 13:32:38","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1280,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/jer6-cry-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/jer6-cry-200x300.jpg","medium-width":200,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/jer6-cry-683x1024.jpg","medium_large-width":683,"medium_large-height":1024,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/jer6-cry-683x1024.jpg","large-width":683,"large-height":1024,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/jer6-cry.jpg","1536x1536-width":1024,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/jer6-cry.jpg","2048x2048-width":1280,"2048x2048-height":1920,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/jer6-cry-800x1200.jpg","post_full_size-width":800,"post_full_size-height":1200,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/jer6-cry-280x420.jpg","home_baner-width":280,"home_baner-height":420}},"embedded_video":"","video_duration":"","show_fb_comments":true,"credit_media":""},"tile":{"top_caption":"","main_caption":"Peace, Peace - But There is No Peace","main_caption_size":"1","sub_caption":"Jeremiah\u2019s unpopular diagnosis was true, tragic and avoidable.
