Judgment is coming, Part 1. Jeremiah 26:8-24. (Preached in Kilskeery FPC morning meeting.) Forty-five years ago, my attention was providentially directed to the book of Jeremiah in a very special way. In July 1966, when Dr Paisley, Rev John Wylie and I, a student minister of 18 months standing, were beginning a three-month prison sentence in the old Crumlin Road Prison, Belfast, I began to studiously read the book of Jeremiah. Some eighteen months later, Dr Paisley preached at my ordination in Lisbellaw FPC on the first chapter of Jeremiah. It is a book to which I have returned many times during my ministry. Today, I find myself turning to it once more. Jeremiah is indeed a model for the end-time preacher. * In this book is presented the message we need to hear today. * In this book is pictured the opposition we may expect to face today. * In this book is portrayed the courage needed for this day. The Bible says that: " . . . there is no new thing under the sun," Ecclesiastes 1:9. The response of God to sin remains the same. The nations of this world will again experience God's judgment on sin. "And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, 2 Thess 1:9.
