Beasts

 Jeremiah 5:6

Therefore, a lion from the forest shall slay them,
A wolf of the deserts shall destroy them;
A leopard will watch over their cities.
Everyone who goes out from there shall be torn in pieces,
Because their transgressions are many;
Their backslidings have increased.

Idolatry and adultery plagued the nation and integrity was totally lacking among those who were to be God’s chosen people. Judgment was coming in the form of Babylon and her allies. There would be no escape and the nation would be mauled. Israel has a sad history.

Let’s bring it from their town to ours: Don’t mess with God and holy things. God has promised His people that judgment would follow compromise.

Hebrews 12:6
For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and chastises every son whom He receives.”

Be right with God before one of those beasts starts breathing down your neck.

Give it some thought.
