Jerusalem Will Bring God Renown

By | May 24, 2010

Read this verse carefully.

Then this city [Jerusalem] will bring me renown, joy, praise and honor before all nations on earth that hear of all the good things I do for it; and they will be in awe and will tremble at the abundant prosperity and peace I provide for it (Jer 33:9).

Has this ever happened?

Is God a liar?

In our day, this frankly seems like a fairy tale.  It is truly unimaginable that Jerusalem would cause the nations to be in awe of God.  Not with the people who live there today.

Jeremiah had trouble believing it too.  Nonetheless, he confessed:

Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you (Jer 32:17).
