Jeremiah 26 Judah Arrested and Tried God

The nation of Judah was much like our nation today. They decided that  God was not sovereign, that he had no business in their affairs. When the man of God would speak on His behalf, he was often arrested, tried, beaten, or jailed. What they did not realize, and neither do we, is that when God's servants are mistreated, it's really because people hate God. So they take out their frustrations on those who speak according to his word. This is a powerful chapter and one that will enlighten the eyes of the discerning.
