In this lesson from Jeremiah 40–44, Stephen Davey explains how the remnant of Judah, left behind after Jerusalem’s fall, quickly forgot the very reasons for their defeat and repeated the same rebellious patterns as their forefathers. Though Jeremiah urged them to remain in the land and trust God’s promise of protection, they chose what seemed safer—fleeing to Egypt—only to accuse Jeremiah of lying when God’s word contradicted their plans. Even in Egypt they continued in idolatry, insisting on worshiping the “queen of heaven,” revealing hearts hardened against clear truth. Through Jeremiah’s warnings and object lessons, Stephen Davey underscores that the safest place to be is in the will of God, and the most dangerous place is in disobedience. The lesson concludes with the sobering reminder that history proves God’s word—not man’s—will ultimately stand, and no one wants to be on the wrong side of God.
