Summary
See, would they be attracted to the message of Jeremiah saying that Jerusalem is going to be destroyed and you're going to be taken into captivity or is there going to be a natural poll to the message of the false prophets who were telling their lie, the false prophets that simply said, it's not going to be that bad. Verse 24, who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them says the Lord, do I not fill heaven and earth says the Lord? And we are reminded when we need to be here and here and maybe even there at the same time, we are reminded that we are finite, that we're limited, that we can, despite perhaps all of our scheduling or desires, we can't be in more than one place at one time. Even though God says he's omnipresent, even though God says, I see you at all times, sometimes we can feel, but I, I just need more of your presence than God for where are you? The word of old comes to us today, verse 23, in my a God nearby says the Lord, and not a God far off, who can hide in secret places so they cannot see them, says the Lord. We're spread to thin and we're reminded at those times where we say, you know, we like, nice to be in two or three places at the same time.
