Christians,in the book of Jeremiah what does this verse exactly mean in 10:21?
109439
Jeremiah is an Old testament book and really written for Judah.  But, everyone can learn from the OT.  And, there is some background to that text.  jeremiah is praying for correction.- translation of verse- pastors have become dull-hearted.  they aren't "on fire for the Lord".  They've lost their zeal and excitement for serving God.  pastors are also known as shepherds, which is why it says their flocks shall be scattered.  In today's society, their "flocks can be scattered" in different ways.  Maybe the Christians are only church Christians and act as if they "lost" their religion during the week.  pastors have to give an account to God for their stewardship of Christians.  Some pastors are not doing what they are suppose to be doing.  Like you said, some pastors are in it for the money.  Some are trying to be politically correct and therefore not teaching the whole word of God.  They'll talk about how much God loves you, but don't want to talk about God's wrath.

I'm taking a stab at it without reading the context in which it was used.\n \nPeople use their devotion to god as a justification for their own motives and actions.  By claiming--especially if ostentaciously so--to be doing the work of god, people often mask their own motives, perhaps even unbeknownst to themselves.  Moreover, their claims of doing god's work insulate themselves against critics of their actions.  "If you oppose my actions, then you oppose god's will."   Unfortunately, the motives of the self-righteous when stripped of their piousness often appear patently contradictory to the values the "devoted" supposedly are attempting to espouse.   \n\nReligion can easily be used as a rationalization for an individual's action, regardless of whether the action is agreement with the principles of the religion or contradictory to them.  \n\nInterestingly, this can be seen in the action of a certain president and a certain leader of a group he opposes.   Each individual act in their own self-interests while blanketing himself in a cloak of religion.\n\n------------\nThe bible warns of devotion's visage and pious acts†:\nBook of Matthew (Chapter 6):\n2: Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. \n3: But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: \n4: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. \n5: And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. \n6: But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. \n7: But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

:}\nWhile this chapters addresses end times the admonition not to trust in man is valid for all times;\nPsalms 146:3-5 adds light.\n"3.  Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.\n4  His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.\n5Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:"\n\nMan is no more reliable or steadfast than the air be breathes, here now and soon passed.\nOnly the Lord can be our refuge,\n\nremember that Bro.Eli Soriano is also a man, use his help but keep trust in the Lord.

You have been admonished.\n\nEze 3:17  Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. \nEze 3:18  When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. \nEze 3:19  Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

Yes, I have. I think it's completely wrong to think that the Jews have to keep the law while we have to believe in Jesus. Jeremiah 31 says that God would make a completely new covenant with the Jews that would be different than the one he made when he brought them out of Egypt. Therefore, there is only one true covenant, and that's the New one --- Christianity.

At the time the kings end and the Promised Land is desolate after being there from death of Moses 1513  less 480 1Ki.6:1 is 1033 and 36 [ of 40 ] 1Ki.11:42 is 997 before Christ and 391 Judah kings end to Babylon world Empire #3 Matt.1:1-17; 606 Before Christ. THERE WILL BE NO KING UNTIL THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST JESUS\n\nIt is a time for Lamentations for Jeremiah and his people are being exposed to all types of heathen practices that could last many years as in Revelations 18:1-6 Babylon has existed in the ways of the people, there is hardly any place else to be even in 1611 after Christ when the KJV Bible was published and 303 years later in 1914 as an excepted translation, the word did not prevent WW1 or WW2 and th holocaust or the conflict since.

Matthew 10:23\n23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.\n\nMatthew 11:23\nAnd thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. \n\nMatthew 19:28; \nAnd Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.\n\nMatthew 21:43, 44; 24; 25:31-46; 26:17-35, 46, 64; \nGoodluck ^_^

Below is a list of ALL the biblical passages that mention "21" or "21st".    But I'll state upfront that there is nothing in the context of any of these to suggest a 'special meaning' for this number.   Nor does any passage of Scripture teach us that we should expect every number or any given number we find to have a special symbolic meaning.  \n\nNow it is true that there are a handful of numbers which have special significance --mostly in very general ways -- but Scripture's own use of them (sometimes very explicitly pointing to their significance) is the basis for our saying they have special meaning.\n\nHere is a brief list of most of the numbers that commonly have some special significance  (Often the text makes that significance very clear.  In other cases they were ordinary forms of expression in the culture, as for example, the 'round numbers').  Note too that usage varies.  Not all these special uses are "symbolic."   Nor is there is any reason for thinking that EVERY time there is three of something it has one and the same significance (symbolic or otherwise), or even that every instance of the number three MUST have a symbolic meaning at all!  Rather, we must look at other evidence in the context to see how the writer is using it.\n\n1 - obviously can sometimes be used to emphasize that something is solitary/alone, one-of-a-kind ('only'), unified\n2 - may be used for contrast but also for a complementary pair; also to add assurance, as in the case of 'two witnesses' (required by the law to establish certain matters)\n3 (many stories are patterned in threes, curses may come in threes, lessons may be tripled for emphasis; also a 'three-day' journey may be a round number for 'a few days')\n4 (when connected with the 'four winds', i.e., directions or 'all sides')\n5 (possibly just a small 'round number', used for 'a handful') \n7 and 10 (often to signify a complete number)\n8 (in DATES, the 8th day is the same day of the week as the first, this may explain why circumcision is on the 8th day, since it parallels the first day, that of birth, it may be suggesting the idea of a NEW life/birth to God)\n12 (esp. associated with tribes of Israel, people of God)\n30 -with age: mature (specific applications to priests, a few individuals, such as Joseph, Jesus)\n30, 50 -common mid-sized groups of people (e.g., David's special guard known as "the Thirty"; small military units are often divided into 50s)\n40 (esp.'days' for a period of testing,  and years as a round number for 'a generation', i.e., the time between one generation of people and the next)\n70 (sometimes functions similarly to 7 for fullness; 70 sons = a large,full family; a whole nation [thus Israel has 70 elders];  70 years used for a full life-span)\n100 & 1,000 - large 'round numbers' (may be used for fullness; 1,000 may, at least in Revelation, esp. be used for to suggest the fullness of heaven)\n\nSometimes, esp. in prophetic visions, some of these numbers or multiples of them may have special significance (e.g., 144,000 = square of 12 [people of God] x 1,000 [completeness/heavenly number?]; and '666' which is related to the 6th day, on which man was created [and possibly on falling short of '7', a number of completeness])\n\nBut note that in general there are NOT a bunch of esoteric meanings here -- nothing about abstract concepts of personality characteristics, or things far removed from the text (that you might never have guessed!)-- and when there ARE unusual meanings (e.g., '666', 144,000) the context does something to point that out.\n\nAs for those lists you see, suggesting a special abstract meaning for each number (as someone has already cut-and-pasted above), these have precious little Scriptural justification.  They are often the result of someone counting the number of item

God cares for you to repent and cease sinning and turn around so you do not get destroyed along with the wicked.\n\n2Peter 3:9 \n"Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with YOU because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance."

The Almighty God has patiently put up with rebellious mankind. Why? “Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance.” (2 Pet. 3:9) Note that God’s patience has been for the benefit of Christians, for the apostle Peter addressed fellow believers with the words, “he is patient with you.” Just what does this mean?\nThe apostle was showing that what some people interpreted as slowness on God’s part should be viewed in an entirely different light. The fact that Jehovah’s day of vengeance has not yet come proves that he loves mankind, that he wants people to live, not to die. So God’s patience has worked to the salvation of Christians, even as it opens up to all the opportunity for salvation. Should we not be grateful that this has been the case?\nOf course, the time is fast approaching for Jehovah God to bring to a close the present ‘day of opportunity’ for those now living to come into an approved relationship with him. (2 Cor. 6:2) \nBible prophecy and Bible chronology point to the time since 1914 C.E., with its increasing crime and violence, wars, food shortages, earthquakes, fear and unrest, as the “last days” for this ungodly world. (Mark 13:3-37; Luke 21:7-36; 2 Tim. 3:1-5) \nAs long as this system continues in its “last days,” Christians must keep on exercising patience, confidently looking to Jehovah God to bring relief through his Son Jesus Christ. (2 Thess. 1:6-9) This is so because these “last days” will continue to be “critical times hard to deal with.”—2 Tim. 3:1.

Yes, and actually, there is one other verse in the bible that says the exact same thing "Jesus wept." but is refering to something else all together.  I wish I knew the reference

Proof that our "friend" is a hypocrite and a mental case, see above.\n\nI ask myself every time I read the Bible, what does this mean FOR me.

Rom 9:21  Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor? \n\nYou can read the chapter for more details.\n\nRemember, the Jews are His own. God gave them honor even though they did not give honor to Him\n\nIsa 43:4  Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honorable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.

It is a Biblical reference to children... Read the psalm below, the specific reference is in verses 3 to 5.\n\nPsalms 127\n1 EXCEPT the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.\n\n2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved asleep.\n\n3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.\n\n4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.\n\n5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

One of my favorite verses, and actually one of the two verses that I try to live my life by.  The other being "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all things will then be given to you".\n\nThe verse "he that seeks to keep his life shall lose it, but he that loses his life for my sake, shall find it" means to me....that the more I give up my "rights" in life, the less I go after what I think I want for myself, the more I give up pursuing the things of the "world" and the more I give up my life for Jesus to do with as He pleases...the more "myself" I truly become.\n\nI never have felt more at peace, more my true self, then when I have given up my own will and choices and asked Jesus to guide my every step, thought, word.  Funny, isn't it?  You think by serving yourself you'd get what you want in life.  I've found by serving Him first (which means, putting others first), that's when I've found true happiness and fulfillment.
