Welcome to Ning

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold is as pictures of silver.(Prov.25:11) It is so important to speak the right words to people at the right time to produce the right results. When you think of apples of gold in pictures of silver, then you are thinking of wealth and excellence. When we speak wisdom into the lives of others we are making them wealthy. Therefore we must seek God for He is the source of all wisdom and He will give us just the right words needed at the right time.

  • #Arise, cry out in the night: at the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift thy hands toward Him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street. Lamentations 2:19

    The Hebrew word for watches is Ashmoreth or Ashmurah; meaning a night watch Psalm 90:4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past and as a watch in the night. Jeremiah is telling the daughter of Zion to watch in the night, for the sake of her young children, for they are hungry. Jehovah God watches over us for a day with God as a thousand years and is as a watch in the night. Genesis 19:2 And he said, Behold now my lords, turn in I pray you into your servant's house and tarry all night, and wash your feet and ye shall rise early and go on your ways. And they said Nay, but we will abide in the street all night. Jesus said to watch and pray, for we know not when our Lord shall come. Just as the angels came to destroy Sodom, they abode in the street all night. So it is for us to set a watch in our house in the night season and pray to God for the salvation of our children. Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word of the mouth of the Lord.

  • #Their heart cried unto the Lord, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eye cease. Lamentations 2:18 The Hebrew word for apple is Bath; meaning a daughter, branch, owl, or town. From Banah (a feminine or ben) a daughter (used in the same wide sense as other terms of relationship, literally and figuratively) Just as Ben means a son. Genesis 49:22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall. This is a term of endearment God is using for the daughter of Zion, the apple of His eye. Jehovah God wants us to weep day and night over our sins. Psalm 30:5 For His anger endureth but a moment; in his favor is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. John 11:33 When Jesus, therefore, saw her weeping and the Jews also weeping which came with her, He groaned in the Spirit and was troubled. Jesus weeps at the unbelief of the Jews, cause He is the resurrection and the life. We must have faith in God, no matter how hard it is for us to believe, and know that all things are possible to those who believe in Him.

  • #The LORD hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down and hath not pitied and he hath caused thine enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries. Lamentations 2:17

    The Hebrew word for horn is Qeren; meaning a flask, cornet, a ray of power. Jeremiah 48:25 The horn of Moab is cut off and his arm is broken, saith the LORD. Jehovah God is a jealous God. Deuteronomy 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations. Turn ye to the Lord and keep his commandments. Hosea 2:23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people and they shall say, Thou art my God. Matthew 12:7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

  • #All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly, this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it. Lamentations 2:16

    The Hebrew word for gnash is Charaq; meaning to grate the teeth. Psalms 35:16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth. Jesus warned there will be gnashing of teeth in hell. So they had better repent and turn to the Lord with their whole hearts. Lord, how long wilt thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions my darling from the lions. I will give thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among many people. Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause. Psalm 22:1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me and from the words of my roaring? Jesus cried out on the cross these words while they were mocking him and gnashing their teeth, and God the Father is too holy to look upon sin.  It was at that time that Jesus became a sin for us so that we could become the righteousness of Christ. Let us rejoice in the Lord at all times for our weeping will turn into rejoicing in that great getting up morning in the first resurrection.

  • #All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth? Lamentations 2:15

    The Hebrew word for clap is Saphaq; meaning to clap the hands of satisfaction, to be enough, to vomit. Isaiah 2:6 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob because they replenished from the east and are soothsayers like the Philistines and they please themselves in the children of strangers. Jeremiah takes note of the enemies passing by to clap their hands, to vomit and they hiss and wag their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem. All because they replenished from the east and were soothsayers like the Philistines, and pleasured themselves with strangers and not in the word of the Lord. We had better turn to the Lord too, before our enemies will clap their hands at our impending national debt, and climate change. God has been merciful to us and is not willing that any should perish but that all would come to repentance. Enter into the rock and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD and the glory of His majesty. When the Messiah comes back He will judge the nations for how they treated Israel. He promised to bless those who would bless Israel and to curse those who curse Israel. 

  • #Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment. Lamentations 2:14

    The Hebrew word for banishment is Madduach; meaning something which draws aside, an enticement. Jesus warned that before the coming kingdom of God, there would be false prophets among you. Beware when all men speak well of you, for so did they about the false prophets. Jeremiah has pronounced the coming judgment because you did not repent of your sins. Isaiah 53:1 Who hath believed our report and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? Jehovah God will give you prophets after His heart if you believe the report. Jesus is the Messiah the one whose coming was told 700 years in advance. Behold a virgin shall conceive. Mary was that virgin the handmaiden of the Lord who said do unto me according to thy will. For He shall grow up before him as a tender plant and as a root out of a dry ground: He hath no form nor comeliness and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief and we hid as it were our faces from him; he is despised and we esteemed him not. This is the true Messiah that Jeremiah has been preaching but they listened to the false prophets who said all is well, you do not have to repent. John the Baptist said: Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. But He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes, we are healed. This is the report we must believe. For whosoever will call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved and thine house.

  • #What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? For thy breach is great like the sea: Who can heal thee? Lamentations 2:13

    The Hebrew word for breach is Sheber; meaning a breaking, fracture, or crushing. Jeremiah has four great questions for the daughter of Jerusalem. The first is what thing I take to witness thee? The Hebrew word for witness is Uwd. means to testify. Jeremiah has been a testimonial of the idolatry of the daughter of Jerusalem. Then he asks what thing shall I liken to thee O daughter of Jerusalem? The Hebrew word for liken is Damah; meaning to compare and he has compared the great mercy of the Lord who has spared her life from destruction. The third question is what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee O virgin daughter of Zion? The Hebrew word for equal is Shaval; meaning to resemble and he has counterbalanced the love of Jehovah to comfort her in all her afflictions. The last question is who can heal thy breach or fracture? Isaiah 51:19 These two things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for Thee? desolation and destruction and famine and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee? Truly God has comforted her in all these afflictions because of His great love and mercy for her and shall restore her from all the destruction, desolation, famine, and the sword. Isaiah 2:4 And He shall judge among the nations and shall rebuke many people and they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. This shall be the great promise in the Kingdom of God that He shall comfort her by.

     

     

  • #They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was poured out into their mother's bosom. Lamentations 2:12

    The Hebrew word for bosom is Cheq; meaning bottom; Or Khake and chowq; from an unused root meaning to enclose the lap within. Proverbs 5:20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman and embrace the bosom of a stranger? The Hebrew word for ravished is Shagah; meaning to go astray or err. Israel is an errant child seeking nourishment from their mother's bosom. Proverbs 20:1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. It is as though Israel is drunk and raging thereby, and Jeremiah is calling for the daughter of Zion to repent and turn to the ever-merciful Lord. A little wine is good, but not to get inebriated to where one cannot tell which way to go. The first miracle that Jesus did was to turn the water into wine at Cana of Galilee. God wants to bestow blessings upon us, all we have to do is open wide our mouths and receive the engrafted word of God which can save our souls. God is pleased when godly sorrow leads to repentance. The Psalmist said thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my pathway. Let us feed off of the word of God and thereby be blessed.

  • #Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city. Lamentations 2:11

    The Hebrew word for suckling is Yanaq; meaning the nursing child. Isaiah 60:16 Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles and shalt suck the breast of kings and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob. Jeremiah is full of tears and his bowels are troubled, which speaks of his longing for the salvation that will come in the Kingdom of God,  when the Lord Jesus Christ shall be made known to the Gentiles, and know thy Redeemer. How we need to desire that sincere milk of the word of God and suck it to our souls. For Jesus shall rule with a rod of iron, and a child shall lead them. How we pray for the children today to have the milk of Jesus. I pray for prayer to once again be restored in the schools and for the word of God taught also. For Christ will bring gold and for iron, I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and stones iron. I will also make thy officers peace and thine exactors righteousness. The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light and thy God thy glory.

       

  • #The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground and keep silent: they have cast up dust upon their heads: they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground. Lamentations 2:10'

    The Hebrew word for sackcloth is Saq; meaning sack. From Shaqaq; properly a mesh, i.e. Coarse loose cloth or sacking (used in mourning and for bagging) Genesis 37:4 And Jacob rent his clothes and put sackcloth upon his loins and mourned for his son many days. Jeremiah is doing what Jacob did when he mourned the passing of Joseph, by putting on sackcloth. The elders were on the ground silent, casting dust upon their heads girded in sackcloth. This is a sign of repentance, and God has allowed their enemies to sink the gates to the ground and break her bars. Psalm 119:67 Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I have kept thy word. God knows how to get our attention and He uses trials and tribulations to bring us into obedience with his word. This is what happened to King David who was a man after God's heart, and when he went astray with Bathsheba he was chasened, and the prophet Nathan told him the sword would not leave his house because of the evil he had done. King David repented in Psalm 51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation and uphold me with thy free spirit. When a Christian sins he does not lose his salvation, but the joy of it. That is why King David prayed this prayer of restoration. We need to pray that prayer for our souls to be restored to the joy of our salvation. The Holy Spirit is grieved when we sin. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We no longer have to hang down our heads in guilt for the blood of Jesus washes every stain away and we are as white as snow.
