  1. Just like the negotiations at Sodom<\/em>. If you can find one righteous one in the city. It\u2019s a deal. But there isn\u2019t one: \u201c There is none who acts justly, Who seeks integrity\u2014 That I should pardon her\u201d (verse 1).<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. A moment of reflection<\/em>. Why did all this evil befall us? \u201cAnd when they ask, \u201cBecause of what did the LORD our God do all these things?\u201d This is intentionally reminiscent of what the nations asked regarding the destruction about 223 chapters ago: \u201call nations will ask, \u201c\u2018Why did the LORD do thus to this land? Wherefore that awful wrath?\u2019\u201d (Deut. 29:23). And here is the answer, that it is well-deserved: \u201cBecause you forsook Me and served alien gods on your own land, you will have to serve foreigners in a land not your own\u201d (verse 19).<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. As the sand bounds the sea<\/em>. The natural world proves that there are boundaries. That there is a law: \u201cShould you not revere Me…Who set the sand as a boundary to the sea, As a limit for all time, not to be transgressed?\u201d (verse 22). The nation who seems to think that there are no limits and no laws will soon discover that there\u2019s a limit to their misbehavior.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. A three-fold cord?<\/em>\u00a0Priests, prophets, people. \u201cThe prophets prophesy falsely, And the priests rule accordingly; And My people like it so. But what will you do at the end of it?\u201d (verse 31).<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. A burning mission<\/em>. \u201cBecause they said that, I am putting My words into your mouth as fire, And this people shall be firewood, Which it will consume\u201d (verse 14). It burns inside and out. But does that mean that it is no longer possible to make it right, and the purpose of the prophecy is only to punish? Further clarifications about the state of the people and the possibilities of repentance – in tomorrow\u2019s chapter\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","image":{"ID":86314,"id":86314,"title":"Points to
