Jeremiah vs Broken pots ⚱️🔨







Pot maker: Oh, good day to you sir. Uh, what may I do for you?

Jeremiah: Just keep working. I like to watch

Pot maker: ah, that's how it was in the old days before the Babylonian armies captured our city- people used to come up and watch me make my pots. I enjoyed the company.

Jeremiah: Oh  be careful there - the edge of that pot is breaking.

Pot maker: Oh, yes [tsk] Well, it's not my fault - some of the clay is like that - it just won't do what I want it to do. Well, I'll smash this one and squeeze it down again.

Jeremiah: No! No, I'll buy that one from you.

Pot maker: [confused] What?   But sir, it's cracked!

Jeremiah shows him money


Pot Maker: oh, well, yes.  Thank YOU, sir! Thank you very much. I'll fire it for you right away!























People: All Hail Baal!


Jeremiah [shouting] : Listen to me people of Jerusalem!! Listen to my words for they come from the Lord our God!!! The Lord God has spoken to me about this valley! If you continue to burn sacrifices here to pray to Baal instead of the one, true God, the Lord will bring evil upon this place.

Old Man: You lie, prophet!  We go to the temple, we sacrifice to God! We are still his chosen people! Why should he then destroy us?
















Jeremiah: The Lord God told you you should have no other God before Him. No Baal! You see this pot?! It has a crack in it. It is not perfect but the man who made the pot is not to blame because the clay would not mold to the potters plan it must be destroyed! You are like this pot people of Jerusalem. You are not perfect! You do not obey the Lord because of that He  will destroy you all!























People: No, prophet! We will destroy you! Seize him!
