Jeremiah 23:20
Compare all
18 For awho has stood in the counsel of the Lord,
And has perceived and heard His word?
Who has marked His word and heard it? 
19 Behold, a awhirlwind of the Lord has gone forth in fury—
A violent whirlwind!
It will fall violently on the head of the wicked. 
20 The aanger of the Lord will not turn back
Until He has executed and performed the thoughts of His heart.
bIn the latter days you will understand it perfectly. 
21 “Ia have not sent these prophets, yet they ran.
I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. 
22 But if they had stood in My counsel,
And had caused My people to hear My words,
Then they would have aturned them from their evil way
And from the evil of their doings.

What Does Jeremiah 23:20 Mean?



Jeremiah 23:20

Are we living in "the latter days"? This applies not only to the nations of Israel and Judah, but also to the church. The church is going through this as a forerunner to what the nation will go through under much more horrible terms and conditions. What has come upon us is tiny and insignificant compared to what will descend upon the nation. These prophecies will be carried out fully against them. God will chasten the leadership of the nations of Israel far worse than He has chastened us.
