Get ready to roll your eyes to heaven in this irreverent dive into the supposed holy hijinks of Jeremiah Chapter 32. Join your favorite skeptical duo as they take a not-so-reverent look at ancient real estate deals, divine plans that sound suspiciously like city planning mishaps, and prophecies that seem to be more about wishful thinking than actual divine foresight.
Are you ready for a biblical lesson in land grabbing? Because Jeremiah sure is banking on some divine insider trading—literally. We're talking about a prophet in prison buying a piece of land he'll never set foot on, in the hopes that his invisible friend in the sky will eventually make it a good investment. Faith or folly? You decide.
And what's with this Baruch guy? Is he Jeremiah's loyal scribe or just the ancient world's version of a spin doctor? Either way, he's got his name on a book, and we're not buying what he's selling. But don't worry, we'll keep reading, if only for the comedic value.
Also, strap in for a segment on the unfairness of collective punishment—because, apparently, smiting is caring when it comes to ancient deities. We'll talk about the unlucky residents of Jerusalem who got more than they bargained for, simply because their neighbors couldn't follow the heavenly rulebook. And if you're looking for contemporary parallels, just wait until we get to the part about Trump's potential re-election. Spoiler alert: prophecies are tricky business, folks.
So, whether you're a history buff, a lover of snark, or just here for the heresy, this episode is sure to deliver. Because when it comes to dissecting religious texts with a heavy dose of sarcasm and a sprinkle of atheism, nobody does it better than your blasphemous hosts. Don't miss out on the divine comedy—tune in, turn up the volume, and prepare for a hell of a good time!

[00:01:04] Sacrilegious Discourse. Welcome to Sacrilegious Discourse. I'm husband and I'm wife. Together we're
[00:01:20] reading the Bible for the very first time. We grew up without religion and wanted to know what
[00:01:24] all the fuss was about. Well what did we learn so far? That God is a dick and apparently some people
[00:01:30] believe in talking donkeys. We're not trying to pass ourselves off as experts. Nope we're just reading
[00:01:35] the Bible for the first time and giving our first take reaction. If you'd like to join us in this
[00:01:40] venture, you might consider starting at episode one. Otherwise jump in wherever you like. All right let's
[00:01:45] go read the Bible. Yeah let's get to it. Husband! Wife! Do you remember what happened yesterday and
[00:01:53] where the hell we are today? Well we just got done reading Jeremiah chapter 31. We sure as
[00:01:59] fuck dead and in that chapter Jeremiah had a dream. I had a dream. And then let's see I think God
[00:02:08] got demoted to a city planner. He did. He's an urban. Urban development expert. Yes that's what
[00:02:15] I was trying to think of. Yes specifically for Jerusalem. Yes. Yes. So that was I mean pretty much
[00:02:21] a gist of yesterday. Yeah basically. He dreamed all good things for Jerusalem, Israel, Jacob,
[00:02:29] whatever. Yeah. And then I mean God started planning the city of Jerusalem. Yeah.
[00:02:34] And that was pretty much it. Yeah. So that was Jeremiah chapter 31. Yes it was. Which means
[00:02:41] that today we're getting into Jeremiah chapter 32. All right let's do this. Okey dokey.
[00:02:56] Okay we are hopping into Jeremiah chapter 32. Okay. Which in the Septuagint is numbered as
[00:03:05] Jeremiah chapter 39. Okay. Listeners if you could just see husband's base. And how much I don't give a
[00:03:12] fuck? Well it's just a constant reminder that these were stapled out of order.
[00:03:19] Well again we haven't researched this. We don't know that there's not extra stuff like
[00:03:25] that's why that's why I take issue with it because we don't really know why it's that way.
[00:03:30] So well the Greek translation came before this. Right no I understand but they might
[00:03:35] that's what I'm saying there might be more in the Greek translation and less than this one
[00:03:40] and that's why it's over here versus there so I only take issue with it because we don't actually
[00:03:46] know why it's out of order when it's just usually further on is all right. So it just sounds like
[00:03:52] there's more in the Greek translation than there is in this version. Not that I have seen
[00:03:58] but I will get back to you on that. And well that's what I'm saying we should do a little
[00:04:01] bit of research into it and find out. That's all right but you know just on the since we keep
[00:04:06] mentioning yeah that it's out of order we should say why it's out of order. Well because the Greeks
[00:04:11] did it better. All right that was my first note. Okay. My second note is do you remember
[00:04:23] if you build it they will come the field of dreams. Yes yes I do remember that. I'm just going to
[00:04:30] put that out there. Okay. You put that out there like it was something that we all have to know
[00:04:34] just intuitively. Yes okay. If you build it they will come. Right. Okay. Field of dreams baseball
[00:04:39] game baseball movie a field a field. Yeah yeah okay. Uh-huh. That's all I'm gonna say and then
[00:04:44] we'll circle back around to that okay. Okay. All right. So chapter 32 in this translation here we go
[00:04:52] the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the 10th year of Zedekaya king of Judah
[00:04:59] which was the 18th year of Nebuchadnezzar and FYI just to put that in a little bit of context
[00:05:07] the 10th year of Zedekaya king of Judah was 588 BCE and at that time the siege was ongoing against
[00:05:17] Jerusalem. Okay. Right. So Jeremiah supposedly wrote this even as Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem.
[00:05:26] Got it. Okay. Okay. For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem
[00:05:33] and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison. Oh he was put in jail. I see
[00:05:39] which was in the king of Judah's house so he's in jail now okay. The kingly prison is decent.
[00:05:46] Yeah. It's not what you might imagine it's not like a dungeon. It's like a white collar prison.
[00:05:50] But he's still in jail though yeah. He's prisoner. Okay. For Zedekaya king of Judah had shut him up
[00:05:56] saying why do you prophecy and say the city is the Lord behold I will give this city into the
[00:06:03] hand of the king of Babylon and he shall take it in Zedekaya king of Judah should not escape
[00:06:10] from the hand of the chaldeans but she'll surely be delivered into the end of the king of Babylon
[00:06:15] and so speak with him face to face and see him eye to eye. Oh this okay. I did not realize when
[00:06:21] I first started that in that like yeah you're going to go on for a while. I forget that when
[00:06:28] they're whiny their sentences are long. But anyway so this is still Zedekaya like going why
[00:06:37] do you keep seeing this right right then he shall lead Zedekaya to Babylon and there he shall be
[00:06:43] until I visit him says the Lord though you fight with the chaldeans and you shall not succeed.
[00:06:49] Okay. Okay. That's the end of that. I have to interject here because earlier we said
[00:06:57] you know with him talking all this with Jeremiah talking all this shit about how Babylon is going
[00:07:03] to take over Jerusalem right. He sounds a little bit like he's plotting with the bad guys
[00:07:10] yeah the enemy the people that are coming in right yeah so I don't really blame a king for
[00:07:15] being like hey fucker yeah shut the fuck up and you know I don't know what side you're
[00:07:20] fucking on here so you are going in jail. I am going to stick you in this prison now right
[00:07:25] because you sound a lot like a trader yeah yeah he does he sounds a lot like a fucker trader even
[00:07:30] if he's the most innocent innocent person that ever was innocent he still sounds like a trader right
[00:07:36] yeah so yeah anyway so that king's like why you keep seeing that and so Jeremiah said well the word
[00:07:45] of the Lord came to me saying behold Hannah Mel the son of Shalom your uncle will come to you saying
[00:07:53] by my field which is an anothoth for the right of redemption as yours to buy it
[00:07:59] then Hannah Mel my uncle son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the Lord
[00:08:05] and said to me please by my field that is an anothoth. Oh now God's predicting people selling fields
[00:08:12] yes okay I'll get back to that I'm okay which is in the country of Benjamin for the right of
[00:08:17] inheritance as yours and the redemption yours buy it for yourself okay so first okay so he's in
[00:08:25] jail right Jeremiah's in jail right he had a dream that God told him that this was going to happen
[00:08:32] right and then guess what it happened it happened I take issue like why is God okay because I get
[00:08:41] it he's gonna he's proving a point here right yes okay yes but that's still crap it is crap but
[00:08:48] what we're supposed to take from this what we're supposed to learn here is that this was a sign
[00:08:56] yes do buy this land for one day it will be yours again and to have faith okay that's what this
[00:09:03] is about but if they're going to be exiled for 70 years it's not technically going to be his again
[00:09:07] because he's gonna be long dead right but it will be his descendants okay and that happens all right
[00:09:13] so it's saying by this even knowing that the Babylon are sack in this place but also Jeremiah didn't
[00:09:20] ever have a wife because remember he didn't have a wife yeah so like what good does this do him to
[00:09:26] buy the land other than just to fulfill the prophecy well it doesn't go to his children obviously
[00:09:30] since he doesn't have any but he can still bequeathed the land to whomever so he please all right all right
[00:09:37] then continue Jeremiah I knew that this was the word of the Lord you know because first I dreamed it
[00:09:43] then it happened yeah so I bought the field see if you build it they will come yeah I bought the field
[00:09:49] from Hannah Mel the son of my uncle who was an Anathoth and weighed out to him the money 17
[00:09:56] shuckles of silver and I signed the deed and sealed it took witnesses and weighed the money on the
[00:10:03] scales so I took the purchase deed both that which was sealed according to the law and custom
[00:10:10] and that which was open and I gave the purchase deed to Baruch the son of Nariah son of Mashaia
[00:10:18] in the presence of Hannah Mel my uncle son and in the presence of the witnesses who signed the
[00:10:24] purchase deed before all the Jews who sat in the court of the prison okay so he did this all
[00:10:31] fair and square and in front of it okay then I charged Baruch before them saying thus says the
[00:10:39] Lord of hosts the God of Israel take these deeds both this purchase deed which is sealed and this
[00:10:47] deed which is open and put them in an earthen vessel that they may last many days for thus says
[00:10:55] the Lord of hosts the God of Israel houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land
[00:11:03] okay so I have some notes okay I mean it sounds like he's so he's preserving he's he's saying buy
[00:11:09] this because it's still gonna be valuable later on even though it's completely invaluable right now
[00:11:15] right yeah so as we pointed out Jeremiah was in prison because Zedikaya considered Jeremiah a traitor
[00:11:23] since he forecast the defeat of the city and the captivity of the king so we knew that okay with
[00:11:30] regard to that whole by the land thing with Babylonian army surrounding Jerusalem the enemy already
[00:11:37] occupied Anathoth so they're already in in the city yeah running a muck and I would assume that
[00:11:46] this also like is a way for Jeremiah to prove that what he's saying holds weight because he's buying
[00:11:54] into his own belief exactly exactly that's where I'm going with this okay so Jeremiah was literally
[00:12:00] being offered land that was already under Babylonian control right and this passage reveals to
[00:12:07] that the ancient laws of land tenure were still being followed in Judah in spite of all their pagan
[00:12:13] practices like they had a lot of you know like the new age stuff like new age to them right sure but
[00:12:21] they were still with legalities following the old ways so they did no better to some degree
[00:12:29] of what was right and what was wrong since they were still following old rules all right
[00:12:35] hey I don't know how I feel about that because right honestly like land purchases is completely
[00:12:40] separate from God worship fucking under a tree right yeah that's not even like remotely the same
[00:12:46] no I know it's just some of the old ways had persisted on the last that's all yeah so I know
[00:12:53] that you heard me mention Baruch right that's the person that he chose as his witness said he's
[00:13:00] like take this and bury it in an earthen pot yeah right so Baruch is the guy that either co-wrote
[00:13:09] this or wrote all of his students meant mentee right yes describe yes so Baruch is mentioned here for
[00:13:17] the first time as a companion and witness for Jeremiah okay he was the scribe disciple secretary
[00:13:24] and devoted friend of the prophet Jeremiah he is traditionally credited with offering the book
[00:13:30] of Baruch so we're gonna be reading more about him later and at least some parts of the book of
[00:13:36] Jeremiah I think there was more to it since he wasn't allowed to have a wife oh I guarantee there was
[00:13:41] more to it and I guarantee also that it was probably just fine right right and then we care more
[00:13:47] today than they did back then right yeah that's my guess yeah so Jeremiah put the title deeds in an
[00:13:54] earthenware pot for safekeeping because he had faith that some relative in a later generation would
[00:14:01] receive the right to inherit the land when the people returned from captivity okay okay yeah so
[00:14:06] that's what that was about right okay now when I had delivered the purchase deed to Baruch the son of
[00:14:13] Nariah I prayed to the Lord saying oh Lord God behold you of me the heavens and the earth by your
[00:14:20] great power and outstretched arm there is nothing too hard for you that's what she said you show loving
[00:14:28] kindness to thousands and repay the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after
[00:14:34] them they should never say bosom it's just not right well I mean yeah bosoms is your boobies right
[00:14:42] the great the mighty god whose name is the lord of hosts you are great in council and mighty in work
[00:14:49] for your eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men to give everyone according to his ways
[00:14:57] and according to the fruit of his doings oh this is so crazy it really is gross you have set signs
[00:15:04] and wonders in the land of Egypt to this day and in Israel and among other men oh my god it's so
[00:15:12] so crazy you have made yourself a name as it is this day you have brought your people Israel out of
[00:15:20] the land of Egypt with signs and wonders with a strong hand and an outstretched arm and with great
[00:15:27] terror I mean there were definitely some great terror that's for sure you have given them this land
[00:15:35] of which you swore to their fathers to give them a land flowing with milk and honey that he's now
[00:15:41] taking away and they came in and took possession of it but they have not obeyed your voice or walked
[00:15:46] in your law romp romp they have done nothing of all that you commanded them to do therefore you
[00:15:53] have caused all this calamity to come upon them look the siege mounds they have come to the city
[00:15:59] to take it and the city has been given into the hand of the chaldeans who fight against it because
[00:16:06] of the sword and famine and pestilence what you have spoken has happened there you see it probably
[00:16:12] because he's a traitor right yeah no again I said this the other day but like I take issue with the fact
[00:16:19] that nobody was following the right path nobody was a good person right right take issue with that
[00:16:26] because to state that just across the board right yeah we're to assume that Jeremiah is a good person
[00:16:31] right sure and probably his buddy Baruch is a good person right yeah and those other
[00:16:36] priestly people were good people right sure you're telling me that there is no other person in Jerusalem
[00:16:42] that was good and that these people are all willing to have their fucking homely and sacked just
[00:16:47] to prove to the rest of the people who sucked that God isn't charged no I don't buy it I don't buy
[00:16:54] it either I just don't just doesn't sound right and if you have people I don't care how few but if
[00:17:00] you have people in their town in your city that do worship correctly and that are correct people
[00:17:05] then why don't you just kill the rest of them and let those few people restart yeah like I don't
[00:17:10] understand why we got to go through this 70 year process of like these people aren't even
[00:17:14] going to get to realize right right coming back to their homeland yeah and you're talking you're
[00:17:18] counting on a whole other generation when you've tried to count on other generations in the past and
[00:17:22] this never worked out for you ever so I don't understand why this time this is supposed to be that
[00:17:27] one time that it's gonna work right why is this time special it's not it's not I'm with you
[00:17:34] and you have said to me oh lord god buy the fields for money and take witnesses yet the city has
[00:17:40] been given into the hand of the chaldeans then the word of the lord came to Jeremiah the word came
[00:17:47] to Jeremiah saying behold I am the lord the god of all flesh is there anything too hard for me
[00:17:54] yeah there is therefore thus says the lord behold I will give this city into the hands of the
[00:18:02] chaldeans into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and he shall take it boom and the
[00:18:09] chaldeans who fight against the city shall come and set fire to the city of
[00:18:13] oh damn that's not good with the houses on whose roofs they have offered incense to ball all and
[00:18:19] poured out drink offerings to other gods to provoke capital M me to anger do you suppose that the
[00:18:27] houses that didn't do those things are gonna not get burned I bet not that's not how fire works
[00:18:33] you mean you bet they are gonna get burned yeah sorry I wasn't following your question yeah no
[00:18:37] they're all gonna get burned right believers and non-believers alike yeah because god is a
[00:18:42] capricious little son of a bitch right yeah because the children of Israel and the children of Judah
[00:18:48] have done only evil before me from their youth from the for the children of Israel had provoked me
[00:18:55] only to anger with the work of their hands says the lord from from children yeah because kids
[00:19:03] right but like you know he said that this is in the remember when he had the dream last time right
[00:19:08] he's gonna write on our hearts that he yeah like we're gonna know god so like the idea is that these
[00:19:14] people are doing these things apparently with full knowledge that god is the one true god right sure
[00:19:20] I just can't like okay I can't put myself in those shoes if I had gods word written on my heart and I
[00:19:29] knew right the god was the one true god and I was not only real but was the only one that counted
[00:19:36] there is nothing you could talk you you couldn't talk me into not believing in him you couldn't talk
[00:19:41] me into not following his way because I already know I know there's a god right right that doesn't
[00:19:51] that that doesn't happen that didn't happen that never happened with any of his people ever right
[00:19:59] and he's had problems with them from day one yeah like this is an ongoing issue right throughout the
[00:20:04] entire old testament that they not only don't really believe in him the way he wants um they also
[00:20:12] don't even fear him right like they're like maybe a real maybe you're not the whatever the profits
[00:20:19] like to pretend like people fear them yeah but they don't act like they fear no if they feared them
[00:20:23] they wouldn't be doing what they're doing right and they ask questions as to why this is happening
[00:20:27] right up is till they're getting sacked in their fucking city yeah they don't know why this is
[00:20:31] happening they don't have any fucking inkling why it's happening right exactly I agree
[00:20:36] and they certainly don't think a god is responsible for it no or at least not that god no they're
[00:20:41] blaming Jeremiah right yeah which makes a lot of fucking sense politics and war and just fucking life
[00:20:48] in ancient times you know sometimes the sky falls sure yeah for this city has been to me a provocation
[00:20:56] of my anger and my fury from the day that they built it even to this day so I will remove it from
[00:21:03] before my mother fucking face mm-hmm he's gonna remove it from his face yeah face
[00:21:13] because of all the evil of the children of Israel and the children of Judah which they have done
[00:21:18] to provoke me to anger they their kings their princes their priests their prophets the man of Judah
[00:21:25] and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and they have turned to me the back and not the face
[00:21:31] though I taught them rising up early in teaching them yet they have not listened to receive instruction
[00:21:37] he turned his back on Moses right what's wrong with that yeah like he turns his back on he
[00:21:43] they're just following your example right yeah and i'm sorry you're saying that you were talking
[00:21:47] to them but they didn't listen right I guarantee you if a god was talking I would have fucking
[00:21:53] listened yeah yeah there's no way that you were talking Jeremiah was talking yeah your prophets
[00:21:59] were talking right which humans they were talking they were fucking yeah yeah exactly and other humans
[00:22:04] were saying other things because there is no distinction between you and these other fucking humans
[00:22:09] other than they say they're all correct yeah and guess what all of them all say they're correct
[00:22:15] and you know what depending on how circumstances played out in history all of them could have been
[00:22:20] correct right at any given instant because of how things played out in history exactly yeah
[00:22:27] but they set their abominations in the house which is called by my name to defile it
[00:22:33] and they built the high places of baule which are in the valley of the son of innum
[00:22:39] to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to molek you know that guy that
[00:22:44] we're not ever supposed to remember the same yeah the one we're never supposed to say again yeah
[00:22:48] which I did not command them nor did it come into my mind that they should do this abomination
[00:22:55] to cause Judah to sin like it didn't even occur to god that it could be a possibility
[00:23:01] for these people to praise molek and except the whole reason this was at the northern tribes
[00:23:08] fell was at the northern tribes yeah it was northern tribes yeah fell was according to the Bible
[00:23:13] according to the prophets was that they were following the wrong version of god yeah same
[00:23:17] same things that are happening to these people right happened to them earlier yeah right and there
[00:23:22] was that whole distinction between what the the northern tribes worship versus the southern tribes
[00:23:28] worshiped because they're in I don't remember what book it was but there was talk of the giant golden
[00:23:35] calf yeah that was a monument almost or whatever it was in their their realm and that was actually
[00:23:43] a representation of what they believed Yahweh to be yes so like Yahweh represented a lot of these
[00:23:48] pagan rights that yeah are being practiced to some of these people because there wasn't really
[00:23:54] a clear idea as to who Yahweh was because Yahweh hasn't actually presented himself to anybody
[00:24:00] yeah other than his select prophets that we hear about in the fucking Bible a few times the people
[00:24:06] in those times didn't have any clue as to what this version of Yahweh was because other people
[00:24:13] were telling them it was something else right and so I can't fault them for for choosing the god
[00:24:19] that they were presented with because indoctrination will win out every fucking time if you're told
[00:24:24] this is your god that's who you're gonna worship right yeah you are in a group of people who are all
[00:24:29] doing the same thing you're gonna follow suit because it just easier to fall in line one it doesn't
[00:24:34] occur to you that you have even a choice oh much of the time yes that is correct and then
[00:24:41] and you don't even have information that you can gather for yourself in those times right it's
[00:24:46] your reliant on other people to give you that information it's not like you could see alternate
[00:24:50] perspectives on the inner webs right you know right yeah so yeah the whole thing is stupid now therefore
[00:24:56] thus says the Lord the god of Israel concerning this city of which you say is shall be delivered into
[00:25:03] the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword by the famine and by the pestilence behold
[00:25:09] by the power of grace call mm-hmm yeah yeah behold I have the power just kidding I will gather them
[00:25:18] out of all countries where I have driven them in my anger in my fury and in great wrath I was real
[00:25:25] pissed so I flipped them left them right yeah and then when I calmed the fuck down I decided I
[00:25:31] would bring them back right right I will bring them back to this place and I will cause them to
[00:25:36] dwell safely you just got to give me a few centuries or whatever right he'll get over it yeah then
[00:25:41] shall my wait then shall be okay one more time sorry god is not always clear okay they shall be my
[00:25:52] people and I will be their god then I will give them one heart and one way that they may fear me
[00:26:02] forever thank god I mean what would we do without fearing Yahweh right right I mean where would we
[00:26:09] be in this world if we didn't fear him completely I don't know I don't think we would have ever
[00:26:13] got to space but wasn't for that massive sphere of Yahweh or like I don't think we would have ever
[00:26:19] done anything really we just we would be stagnant in life if we didn't fear Yahweh all the time I know
[00:26:25] every time I'm a feared is when I'm able to put gas in my car right yeah that that goes hand in hand
[00:26:32] I certainly wouldn't be able to do anything in my life without fearing I came to you I was just
[00:26:39] gonna say like when we post this are we a feared of God not even a little bit not a little
[00:26:44] that they may fear me forever for the good of them and their children after them that didn't last
[00:26:50] long yeah and I will make an everlasting covenant with them he's gonna cut some balls here we go
[00:26:57] that I will not turn away from them doing good but I will put my fear in their hearts so that
[00:27:03] they will not depart from me I'm I'm going to make you scared so scared that you can't leave me
[00:27:11] again I don't think this is a good way to to lead like no it's not good parenting it's not
[00:27:17] good leadership skills it's really piss poor management of your people yeah dude needs to read some
[00:27:24] like business manual yeah yeah like where's my who move my cheese and what colors my parachute
[00:27:30] and yeah all that shit all them seven steps for highly effective gods yeah exactly yeah
[00:27:35] yeah yes I will rejoice over them to do them good and I will assuredly plant them in this land
[00:27:43] with all my heart with all my soul God has a heart and a soul apparently I didn't know I didn't
[00:27:49] either for those says that I we do know he has bowels you right right and it knows remember
[00:27:55] he used to smells he like the really he really like smelling stuff and he has back sites yeah
[00:27:59] yeah he does dad asked though I mean he made us in his image right so I mean I would assume
[00:28:03] he's got all the bits he's got all the bits yeah could you imagine cup and gob balls I'm I mean
[00:28:09] I can't even imagine pod so let it know for the says the Lord just as I have brought all this great
[00:28:16] calamity on this people so I will bring on them all the good that I have promised them first
[00:28:22] I'm going to stab them but then I'm gonna throw flowers at them and butterflies and glitter
[00:28:28] and maybe they won't notice all the blood but I hope you do notice the blood so that they're scared
[00:28:33] of me while they're frullicking in the sand at the beach I mean what the fuck message is this right not
[00:28:39] a good one no no and fields will be brought in this land of which you say it is desolate without man
[00:28:46] or beast it's been given into the hands of the chowdians the fucking chowdians those astronomers yeah God
[00:28:54] damn those starwatching assholes yeah all right men will buy fields for money sign deeds and seal
[00:29:02] them and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin in the places around Jerusalem in the cities of Judah
[00:29:09] in the cities of the mountains in the cities of the lowland and in the cities of the south
[00:29:16] for I will cause their captives to return says the Lord the end okay boom yeah I guess
[00:29:26] I whatever I know it's so ridiculous it's annoying yeah it's just it's so annoying
[00:29:34] well we've heard the same prophecy over and over and over again throughout this book right yeah
[00:29:39] and it's just not like I don't know how much of it is written in Jeremiah's time how much was
[00:29:45] added after the fact I don't really understand like even if even if this is all written by Jeremiah
[00:29:52] in his time as they're being captured by by Babylon right in the chowdians right yeah it's it would be
[00:30:00] it wouldn't be a far cry to say that their faith in their God would indicate that God's gonna
[00:30:08] bring them back together right right so to write that down even if you're doing this before it happens
[00:30:14] doesn't seem like that great of a prophecy to me it's just this need to come back to what you
[00:30:21] had right like it's not it has nothing to do with this knowledge of actually how it's gonna transpire
[00:30:29] right but more about we this is our land we need it back we're obviously God's gonna give this back
[00:30:34] to us because it our God is great and our God is good right yeah that's how they feel about it sure
[00:30:39] I don't think it has anything to do with an actual prophecy no no it's just it's a hope and a prayer
[00:30:47] honestly yeah and like and we talked about this and we've talked about this before but like you know
[00:30:53] it's the if it's correct it's obviously that's what that's what makes it last right so like
[00:31:00] this person that wrote these things that maybe came true I guess if we're to believe that this
[00:31:05] was all written pre right then coming back yeah but even if that's the case the fact that they
[00:31:12] wrote it and it did come true is what made it stick right right other people might have wrote
[00:31:17] similar things but it wasn't exactly the same or exactly true so those things didn't stick right
[00:31:22] so this one just happened to be mostly correct oh my god it did happen on a Monday let's tape
[00:31:28] this one to the wall guys right right yeah so I don't know I I don't take a lot of stock on this because
[00:31:35] there's a lot of white to be perfectly honest I don't take any stock in the God aspects of it but
[00:31:41] I don't the prophecy aspect of it though I don't take a lot of stock in because it's just
[00:31:46] it's too easy to have manipulated after the fact and it's also too easy to maybe just foresee how
[00:31:53] things tend to go in those times you know like people come in and conquer they get tired and then
[00:32:00] get to come back after a while because they can't hold down these large swaths of land right it's
[00:32:05] probably similar things have happened in the past I know they have because we've read about them
[00:32:09] in the Bible right you know so it doesn't really it's like me and you it's like me and you sitting here
[00:32:16] saying a prophecy that you guys I hate to tell you this really bad news but Trump's probably
[00:32:21] going to win the presidency I hate to tell you it but I'm just but I mean yeah if you listen to
[00:32:27] this and then come back you know whatever in November and and he did win then you know we just
[00:32:33] were we were correct what I did a prophecy I didn't totally look around Ohio and see that it's
[00:32:40] all red now I didn't look at the country and be like oh turnout is going to be really bad and a lot
[00:32:46] of it there's a general apathy towards Biden and what have you yeah apathy toward Biden and anger over
[00:32:52] what's happening to the Palestinians right and the youth is not happy with that right that you said
[00:32:58] just I have to say that out front state it right here get your ass out there and vote please get out
[00:33:03] there and vote I would love to be wrong let me not be giving a prophecy right right like I ain't
[00:33:08] trying to be right y'all I do not want Trump again but be that as it may I do foresee that that is
[00:33:16] what is going to happen definite possibility well obviously it's a possibility right I think it's
[00:33:21] a probability I don't even want to come close to prophesying that I'm pretty sure that's what's
[00:33:25] gonna happen let's let's skip the prophesizing I like to on the political front I like to prepare for
[00:33:32] the worst but hope for the best no okay all right so I'm assuming he's going to win I would love
[00:33:38] to be pleasantly surprised and and be completely mistaken yeah yeah but I would love you to be
[00:33:45] pleasantly surprised and completely mistaken as well well we'll see in November if I gave a prophecy
[00:33:50] or not all right I didn't I totally didn't just read the fucking political wins right right yeah
[00:33:58] all right well that was Jeremiah chapter 32 it sure as fuck was which means that we'll be back
[00:34:04] tomorrow with Jeremiah chapter 33 all right we'll see you then bye
