Jeremiah 6:1-3 - I will destroy daughter Zion

6:1

“Flee from Jerusalem”. Jesus also told the disciples to flee when the Roman armies were near (Matt 24:16). There was a superstitious belief that God would not let Jerusalem fall, and definitely not let the temple be destroyed. Both these superstitions proved false! Both in Jeremiah’s time and in the first century. We need to beware of superstitious belief masquerading as faith. Destruction was coming.

6:2,3

“I will destroy Daughter Zion”. The people of Judah were about to receive a rude awakening. Today we have the same phenomenon if we think “God won’t send people to hell”, “God will not inflict judgement”. What is your basis for saying this? It certainly is not the Bible! For God frequently inflicts judgement. Indeed, a basic principle of the Bible is that God judges, and that there will be a final day of judgement. Jesus frequently spoke about hell and judgement. Beliefs that “God will not judge” etc are based on wishful thinking and are utterly worthless.
