The lamentations of God

The lamentations of God

Isaiah 5 verse 13

¹³ Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst

1. God lamented that His children, the people of Israel have been taking captive by the enemy
2. God lamented that the nation of Israel, the land of promise has been taken over by Babylon
3. God lamented that the enemies are rejoicing because they are oppressing the people of God
4. Just as Israel was taken captive, there are so many children of God that have been taken captive by the enemy
5. Just as God lamented that Israel was taken captive, Heaven is still lamenting that many children of God have also been taken captive.
6. Why was Israel taken captive? The Bible says they lack knowledge.
7. The lack knowledge that sins opens the door for the devil
8. The lack knowledge that idolatry provokes the jealousy and anger of God
9. They lack knowledge that if they break the covenant to obey God, God will no longer be their God
10. They lack knowledge that it is only by fearing and obeying God that they can live in peace, prosperity, and happiness
11. Holy Ghost increase your knowledge, may you not fall into sin that will make the enemy to hold you captive in Jesus name
