Most Christians simply view the Old Testament as ancient history that has no bearing on the world today. Yet sin is still the same; the only difference is the level of technology 2,500 years later. The twelve tribes of Israel were chosen by God to be a holy nation, set apart and free from idolatry.

God loved the Israelites but He was not sentimental about their rebellion and how they reveled in sin. God is not mocked, and as a result, His love turned to wrath and He judged them harshly. It was because of love that God the Father sent Jesus to die on the cross 2,000 years ago and pay for our sins.

God won't treat believers in Christ any different than He did with the Israelites of the past. Repentance is the only way to stop God's judgments. The idols at the time of Jeremiah were made from rocks and carved wood. Idol worship today however takes place around alcohol establishments, whorehouses, internet pornography, gambling casinos, etc.

Evil spirits blind people spiritually and humanity is perishing as a result. It is crucial to preach repentance and rescue those around you from an eternity in the Lake of Fire.
