The Lord God Himself

Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his way, and according to the fruit of his doings.-Jeremiah 17:5-10***Jeremiah the prophet proclaimed the words of the Lord God to the Israelites in Jerusalem and Judah, the southern nation in the Promised Land during the last 18 years that King Josiah reigned, and during the 3-month reign of Josiah's son King Jehoahaz, and the 11-year reign of Josiah's son King Jehoiakim (Eliakim), and the 3-month reign of Jehoiakim's son King Jehoiachin (Jeconiah/Coniah), and the 11-year reign of Josiah's son King Zedekiah (Mattaniah). Josiah was the 15th king to rule Judah, Jehoahaz was the 16th king, Jehoiakim was the 17th king, Jehoiachin was the 18th king, and Zedekiah was the 19th king. Josiah's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather King Asa was the 3rd king to rule Judah. Asa paid King Benhadad, ruler of Syria (Aram), to help him defeat King Baasha, the 3rd king to rule the northern nation of Israel in the Promised Land. Asa's son Jehoshaphat was the 4th king to rule Judah. Ahab, the son and successor of King Omri, was the 7th king to reign over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. Ahab asked Jehoshaphat to fight alongside him in a battle against the Syrians (Arameans). Despite the words of the Lord God proclaimed by Micaiah the prophet, Ahab and Jehoshaphat went to battle the Syrians. Jehoshaphat's great-great-great-great-great-grandson Ahaz was the 11th king to rule Judah. King Pekah was the 18th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. King Rezin was ruler of Syria (Aram). Ahaz paid King Tiglath-pileser, ruler of Assyria, to help him when Pekah and Rezin launched an attack. Moreover, during Pekah's reign, Tiglath-pileser began taking Israelites to Assyria. King Hoshea was the 19th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. King Shalmaneser was ruler of Assyria. Hoshea paid tribute money to Shalmaneser, and Hoshea sought help from King So, ruler of Egypt. Shalmaneser imprisoned Hoshea and a few years thereafter the Assyrians conquered Samaria, the royal city, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. During Jehoiakim's reign, the Babylonians (Chaldeans) invaded Judah and Jerusalem and King Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of Babylon, began looting the temple of the Lord. During Jehoiachin's reign, the Babylonians began taking Israelites, including Jehoiachin and his mother, to Babylon. Zedekiah sought help from Pharaoh, ruler of Egypt. During Zedekiah's reign, the Babylonians conquered Jerusalem, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. A group of Israelites took Jeremiah with them to Egypt while Jeremiah continued proclaiming the words of the Lord God. Over 500 years after Israelites began returning to Judah and Jerusalem, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah, the birth tribe of Judah's kings, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Jeremiah, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
