Don't Even Worry About It

The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch; Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest. Thus shalt thou say unto him, The LORD saith thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land. And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.-Jeremiah 45:1-5/the complete chapter***Solomon was the 2nd child born to King David and Bathsheba. David was the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land, and Solomon was the 3rd king to reign. Rehoboam, the son born to Solomon and Naamah, was the 4th king to reign over all of the Israelites. After Rehoboam gave a specific answer, the Israelites split into 2 kingdoms, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of Solomon. Judah was the nation in the south, Jerusalem was the royal city and Rehoboam was the 1st king to reign. Israel was the northern nation, Samaria was the final royal city and Jeroboam, the son born to Nebat and Zeruah, was the 1st king to reign. King Pekah was the 18th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. During Pekah's 20-year reign, the Assyrians invaded the kingdom and King Tiglath-pileser, ruler of Assyria, began taking Israelites to Assyria. During the 9th year of the reign of King Hoshea, the 18th king to rule the northern nation, the Assyrians conquered Samaria, according to the will of the Lord God. due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites.   Rehoboam's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson Josiah was the 15th king to rule Judah. During the 13th year of Josiah's 31-year reign, Jeremiah the prophet began proclaiming the words of the Lord God to the Israelites in Jerusalem and Judah. Jehoahaz, the son born to Josiah and Hamutal, was the 16th king to rule Judah. Jehoiakim (Eliakim), the son born to Josiah and Zebudah  was the 17th king to rule Judah. Throughout the reign of Jehoahaz and the reign of Jehoiakim, Jeremiah proclaimed the words of the Lord God. Moreover, Jeremiah spoke the words of the Lord God to Baruch and Baruch wrote the words on a scroll. Afterwards, Jeremiah told Baruch exactly when to take the scroll to the temple of the Lord and read the words to the Israelites. When officials learned of Baruch's actions, they sent for him and made Baruch read the words to them. The officials knew that they had to make a report to Jehoiakim and they knew that Jeremiah and Baruch should find a secret place to hide. Jehoiakim destroyed the 1st scroll and ordered that Jeremiah and Baruch be arrested. The Lord God hid Jeremiah and Baruch, and gave Jeremiah a message for Jehoiakim, and the Lord God told Jeremiah to rewrite the words that were written on the 1st scroll. Baruch listened to Jeremiah's dictation and obediently wrote the words. Sometime thereafter, Baruch listened when Jeremiah gave him a personal message of assurance from the Lord God. During Jehoiakim's 11-year reign, the Babylonians (Chaldeans) invaded Judah and Jerusalem and King Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of Babylon, began looting the temple of the Lord. Jehoiachin (Jeconiah/Coniah), the son born to Jehoiakim and Nehushta, was the 18th king to rule Judah. During Jehoiachin's 3-month reign, the Babylonians took more prominent Israelites, including Jehoiachin, his wives and mother, to Babylon. Zedekiah (Mattaniah), another son born to Josiah and Hamutal, was the 19th king to rule Judah. During the 11th year of 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. Over 500 years after a group of Israelites took Jeremiah and Baruch to Egypt with them, and 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 tribe of David, Solomon and all 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 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 2 Chronicles, Jeremiah, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
