--
they shall see my glory.
"And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them
unto the nations, to Africa, to Lydia, to Italy, to Greece, and to the
people that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory. And they
shall bring your brethren.
Jer. 7. Reprobation of the Temple: "Go ye unto Shiloth, where I set my name
at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people. And
now, because ye have done all these works, saith the Lord, I will do unto
this house, wherein my name is called upon, wherein ye trust, and unto the
place which I gave to your priests, as I have done to Shiloth." (For I have
rejected it, and made myself a temple elsewhere.)
"And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren,
even the seed of Ephraim." (Rejected for ever.) "Therefore pray not for this
people."
Jer. 7:22: "What avails it you to add sacrifice to sacrifice? For I spake
not unto your fathers, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt,
concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices. But this thing commanded I them,
saying, Obey and be faithful to my commandments, and I will be your God, and
ye shall be my people." (It was only after they had sacrificed to the golden
calf that I gave myself sacrifices to turn into good an evil custom.)
Jer. 7:4: "Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord, the
temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, are these."
