Back to the stage with God
──5 stages from being taken captive to returning to God
Scripture: Jeremiah 50:4-6; 17-20

Returning to the presence of God, there are four important processes in the kingdom of Judah:
(1)crime
(2)suffer
(3)Call for
(4)Saved
In fact, there are seven cycles in Judges
Some people like to talk about beautiful dreams and how God will bless me; others like to talk about the current situation, that is, how to suffer; or they want to investigate the cause, but the real key is to call on God

  1. Timing: waiting is paying the price
    “In those days, at that time,” (50:4)
    cf.Isaiah 55:6; Habakkuk 1:2;2:3
  2. Relationship: accepting the difference in believeing Lord
    the people of Israel and the people of Judah …(50:4)
    cf.Matthew5:23-24
    ex: There is a city in the United States in two states, but they are very harmonious
  3. Emotions: reveal your true feelings
    (they)togetherw ill go in tears to seek the Lord their God. (50:4)
    cf.Matthew11:17
  4. Look for: take action and respond quickly
    They will ask the way to Zion and turn their faces toward it. (50:5)
    cf.Matthew7:7-8
    They will sak the way to Jerusalem and will start back home again.(NLT)
  5. Determination: Let God be your God again
    They will come and bind themselves to the Lord in an everlasting covenant that will not be forgotten. (50:5)
    After the Jews returned from exile, they stopped worshipping idols
    cf.Matthew16:24
