Jeremiah 23:21
Compare all
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. 
23 “Am I a God near at hand,” says the Lord,
“And not a God afar off?
24 Can anyone ahide himself in secret places,
So I shall not see him?” says the Lord;
b“Do I not fill heaven and earth?” says the Lord.

Jeremiah 23:21-22

When Moses did it on his own strength forty years before, nothing happened. He ran to do the work of the Lord, but God was not in it. Do you see the point that God is making? No matter how sincere a person is, if he is not tuned into the will of God, even though he does a fairly great work and is noble and pure of heart, the success comes from God because God is in it—not because of the efforts of the man. The result then was a sincere effort but futile. What Moses did created a stir, but it was ineffective because God was not in it. God was not in it because it was not His will. It was not His will until forty years later.
