Israel's travail and "Lo Ammi" Condition
Question: What was the reason for Jeremiah’s prophecies against Israel?
The reason for Jeremiah, and other of the Old Testament Prophets writing such; is because of the terrible behaviour of Israel, after Almighty God had confirmed their special relationship as “The Chosen People”; which is summarised in Malachi!
That was subsequent to the Faith of Abram, Isaac and Jacob, which sealed the direction of the “Tribes of Israel” in God’s Planning for the Salvation of the World’s peoples!
The delinquent behaviour of Israel after giving their word and Vows in Deuteronomy 27, led to God showing them how to placate His planning until the next stage, by animal sacrifice; which reached its culmination in Christ Jesus’ Self Sacrifice (as God’s Only Begotten Son), Who was One with God the Father; (God provided Himself the Lamb Gen. 22:8)!
Because after the efforts of Jesus (and the Great Apostle Paul), the Sanhedrin at Acts 28:25–28 rejected His Saving Message to Israel (1st); the Gift of Salvation was extended to the Gentiles; and they have responded to that; and will reach a Known by God Number (Romans 11:25–27), after which it will be withdrawn; and their current state of “Lo-Ammi” will be reversed. They will experience “Jacob’s Trouble”; they will be saved by God directly (Ezek. 39:21–29); and Christ Jesus will return to Rule from Jerusalem with Israel “God’s Kingdom of Priests” on Earth, for 1000 years!
