Day 346 - Read Jeremiah 23-24

The Lord condemned the religious leaders who led His people astray and promised to execute justice against them. He told of the coming Savior from the lineage of David who would be known as “The Lord is our righteousness”. He continued to condemn the prophets who were falsely using His name without seeking His counsel. They prophesied lies and led His people away from Him. Jeremiah received a vision from God of a basket of very good figs and a basket of very bad figs. The Lord used these baskets to explain His blessings on those who were taken into exile and His judgement to come on those who turned from Him.
