Numbers 35:6, 35:14; Deuteronomy 33:27; Joshua 20:2; 2 Samuel 22:3; Psalm 9:9, 46:1, 46:7, 38:3, 57:1; 59:16, 62:8, 71:7, 91:2, 91:9, 94:22, 142:4-5; Proverbs 14:26; Isaiah 4:6; Jeremiah 16:19; Hebrews 6:18

The setting of Jeremiah is much like us today, a nation lavishing under much profit and only repentance and return to the truth would turn back judgement.  At these times, as at others, prophets are sent out as a warning beacon and Jeremiah is the same.  Asking if the people would go back to the good and right way?  The ancient paths of old.  The manner in which He taught them in the wilderness. The way that they are to go.  What is your answer?
Fiveamprayer what way did Yahweh give us?  The way we are to know and the truth that sets men free. 
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Walk in the instructions of Holy Spirit, that is how we are to live our lives!  How we are to treat each other and how to approach the holy God.  We are to obey Adonai, our Creator, Father and King.  What could be the old paths?  Also this lets us know that the children of Israel, as we have--moved away from where they had started originally. 
This is also addressed by Paul to the believers in the Brit Chadasha/New Testament--warning the believers about those teaching a message that would lead them away from the ancient path.  Don't allow others to cause you to drift!  Stand and stand therefore on the volume of the Book!  Listen to instruction that teaches you the way, His way to go!  We have to see that throughout all of history that society cannot not survive without laws.  What is the proper manner of doing things, for the safety and well-being of the people?  How is that determined and regulated?  How do we have the same understanding of the appropriate things to be done in society without laws to teach us the boundaries?  Unfortunately, even with this warning that Jeremiah has in verse 16 we hear that same response even now.  There are people who wish to remain an outlaw.  We find no rest in rebellion, yet many wallow in the muck of disobedience.  Fiveamprayer send out the warning, 'return to the ancient ways, for rest unto those who are weary!'  Thank You Yahweh for giving us this teaching this morning!  That You would call us out to no longer waiver, but to stand.  No more being double-minded but sure footed--standing on His word that lasts forever!  We know that our ways are out of order and only You can direct us!!  For You are alone do things in decency and in order.  That we follow Your good and right way, is the way that we will learn and study to walk this out!  Praise Your holy name!  Dial in for this one!  Straight from His word and as timely as ever!  Take the correction and be not disobedient!!  Hear what thus says the Lord Yahweh click here!
