- Lots of talk of judgement.
- God "divorced" Israel because of their unfaithfulness to him (idolatry).
- Both Israel and Judah are referred to as "prostitutes" because of their actions. I found an interesting parallel to the references to the prostitute mentioned in Revelation.
- There appear to be lots of parallels with Judah and the Church.
- The deception by false prophets seem similar to some pastors and their congregations.
- Jeremiah was given the task of wearing linen underwear, then hiding it to let it rot as an illustration to Israel.

Jeremiah
I've been listening to Jeremiah on the Daily Audio Bible for the last couple of weeks. It has been interesting and, as a result, enjoyable. Here is a summary of what I've discovered.

I have always believed God's hatred for divorce was because he understands it - the ripping and tearing of the one flesh, based on the fact that He was dicovrced. That is NOT what I grew up being taught - just something I saw when I read that In Jeremiah. He gets the pain of it...but as I heard Mark Lowery say recently, He couldn't pastor a Baptist church now. Hahahha!
