Jeremiah 22:29 O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD. I. SPECIFY SOME RESPECTS IN WHICH WE SHOULD HEAR GOD'S VOICE. 1. In the still small voice of heavenly mercy. 2. In the loud thunder of God's providential dispensation. 3. In your personal and relative afflictions. 4. In the ample promises and encouragements addressed to returning penitents. II. ENUMERATE SOME REASONS WHY THE WHOLE EARTH IS INTERESTED IN THESE COMMUNICATIONS. 1. Because the Gospel shows the only plan of salvation. 2. Because the progressive improvement and advancement of the race is connected with this message. 3. Because the success of missionary work shows the practicability of diffusing it. 4. Because the signs of the times are in direct accord with the promises of God. (S. Thodey.) Parallel Verses KJV: O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD. |
