Jeremiah 4:19

[Crazy Liz]

Jeremiah 4:19 "My heart pounds within me,I cannot keep silent.For I have heard the sound of the trumpet;I have heard the battle cry."


I've seen this verse in signatures and used as a theme for a particular organization. Whenever a person or group chooses a verse as a theme, I'm curious about its significance and meaning to them. I started a new thread to ask here, rather than derail the thread where the question originally came up.

BattleCry is a youth movement that wishes to see this generation turn back to God.We are in a real battlefield and satan is using all of his tactics to destroy this young generation.This fight is not a physical fight but a spiritual battle that we as the body of Christ must fight for the youth that are being attacked by this culture.A stealthy enemy has infiltrated our country and is preying upon the hearts and minds of 33 million American teens. Corporations, media conglomerates, and purveyors of popular culture have spent billions to seduce and enslave our youth. So far, the enemy is winning. But there is plenty we can do. We need to take action. We need to answer the Battle Cry.


2 Timothy 2:3-4 Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.No one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs—he wants to please his commanding officer.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Ephesians 6:11-12 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

1 Peter 2:11 Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul.

Isaiah 54:17 no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me," declares the LORD.

What this generation is facing:

"A stealthy enemy has infiltrated our country and is preying upon the hearts and minds of 33 million American teens. Corporations, media conglomerates and purveyors of popular culture have spent billions to seduce and enslave our youth."


This generation views 16 to 17 hours of television each week and sees on average 14,000 sexual scenes and references each year. That's more than 38 references every day.

Studies have shown that 73% of boys and 78% of girls between the ages of 12 to 19 watch over 6 hours of MTV every week! Take into consideration what they are watching every hour. The statistics show that an average hour of MTV contains; six violent scenes, eight profanities, and nine instances of sexual content. One young person said; "I think MTV is getting us ready for the real world." MTV's take on this issue; "We don't advertise to this generation. WE OWN THIS GENERATION."

This generation spends three hours a day online and is the first to grow up with point-and-click pornography. Almost 90 percent of teens have viewed pornography online at one of the 300,000 adult websites, most while doing homework.

"More than 25 percent of teen-targeted radio segments contain sexual content; 42 percent of the top selling CDs contain sexual content."

With more than $128 billion dollars in their pockets, this generation has been targeted by corporate America, who does everything it can to grow brands and profits without any regard to the moral decay of a generation.

1 in 2 of us are no longer virgins.

9 out of 10 of us have seen porn online.

1 out of 10 fifteen year olds and younger have gone through family divorce in their life-time.

1 in 3 of us have been drunk in the last month.

1 in 4 of us use illegal drugs.

1 in 5 contemplated suicide,over 1,500 kill themselves each year.

1 in 10 of us has been Raped at some point in their life.

1 Million woman are pregnant,340,000 women get abortions each year.

8,000 of us contract an STD every day.

40% have experimented with Self-injury ("are "cutters").

48% of high school seniors are Sexually Active (had sexual intercourse in past 3 months).

65% say there is no way to tell which religion is true.

91% say there is No Absolute Truth.

75% of teens in America believe the central message of the Bible is, "God helps those who help themselves".

53% believe Jesus committed sin (40% of born again teens believe Jesus committed sin).

35% of adults are Bible beliving Christians.While the numbers show 35% of adults are Bible beliving Christians,at the present rate of evangelism that number will drop to 4% for this new generation.What will it look like then?

Up to 90% of those who come to Christ do so before they are 20.Within 5 years most of this generation will be in their 20's.What we do in the next 5 years,will lay the coures for the next 50 years of american history.

So you're weeping and howling and crying like Jeremiah because God is raising up an enemy to destroy your nation?

Interesting passage. The sound of battle and trumpet. The type of visions John is seeing in Revelation.

Interesting how Rotherham's translates it

http://www.olivetree.com/cgi-bin/EnglishBible.htm

[Rotherham's] Jeremiah 4:19 My bowels! My bowels! I am pained in the walls of my heart My heart beateth aloud to me I cannot be still! For the sound of a trumpet, hast thou heard O my soul, The loud shout of war!

Reve 16:14 For they are spirits of demons doing signs which is going-out on the kings of the land, and the being-homed, whole, to-be-together-assembling them into the battle of the Day, that the Great of the GOD the Almighty.

Not exactly.Jeremiah was watching his nation being destroyed physically and felt great sorrow for his nation.But today the enemy is destroying our nation not physically, but spiritually and is attacking the youth of our nation.We are watching our generation being attacked on a massive scale and we should feel great sorrow like Jeremiah for letting it get this bad.The enemy is attacking the youth with depression,lust,alcoholism,drugs,violence and abortion like never before.We must answer this Battle Cry before it's too late and rescue this generation from the enemies grasp.Jesus Christ has already given us victory through him, if we are just willing to fight in the lords army.God Bless
