Hey brother! Nice to chat with you again, it's been quite some time! .. Glad to see you are doing well too
I was showing by Jeremiah 15:1-4, verse 1 in particular, that God's affection can be turned away from us because of our failures to please Him, which incidentally can be imparted to the sheep who follow the wicked course of the shepherds (as in this case where King Manasseh corrupted them by ruling them in wickedness).
I am pleased for you, brother, to hear this! Praise The Lord for His power to save!
I was holding another view of destruction when I wrote that, as a fruit of sowing into the flesh: the sort that is described in Lamentations 4:7-8 and mentioned in Romans 1:27.. as what Job 19:21 expresses. (Of course, Job suffered severe destruction and torment and he endured faithfully while justice was being prepared.. and God appointed that destruction to him for our sake: Matthew 5:10).
It shows that one who "is perishing" (eg 2 Peter 3:9) is being destroyed, and yet any form of destruction requires time for the process before it comes to completion and until there remains absolutely nothing of value.
Thanks for your help to clarify that, may The Lord continue to demonstrate the power of His salvation through Christ Jesus!
