The Point of No Return

Eze. 33:11 “As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways!”

God’s judgement is His last resort. That’s what the verse above is telling us. But there does come a time when He says enough! He said ‘enough’ during the times of Noah when His Spirit was grieved that He had made man. He said ‘enough’ during the times of Sodom and Gomorrah when it says He came down to really see how bad it was! He said ‘enough’ during the days the days of Israel’s bondage in Egypt when He judged the nation of Egypt. He said ‘enough’ during the days of Jeremiah and Ezekiel where the sins of Judah were such that He wouldn’t even allow Jeremiah to intercede for the nation anymore!

These are the moments where they had past the point of no return. Think about that… Three times God tells Jeremiah not to pray for his nation. In fact God says even if Jeremiah does pray, He won’t listen! Jeremiah 7:16-17 “As for you, do not pray for this people, and do not lift up cry or prayer for them, and do not intercede with Me; for I do not hear you. Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
