It took me nearly 20 minutes to read this book. The beginning of the book begins with the warning of coming punishment on the house of Judah. God explains those who will be punished:
Vs 4 – Those who worship Baal
Vs 5 – Those who worship the hosts of heaven
Vs 5 – Those who speak the LORD’s name, but also the name of Malcham
Vs 6 – Those who have turned away from the LORD
Vs 6 – Those who have ignored the LORD
It was that last group that caught my attention. God is not only displeased with those who seek after other things to take his place, but He holds in equal condemnation those who have ignored Him. God’s actions declare rejection of Him for no other god, then same acts as idolatry. That takes away the excuse of ignorance for those who might acknowledge a “supreme being” but make no effort to get to know him.
