If You Think It’s Bad Now . . . God, in His response to his surveying profits goes on to state His Total Agreement With Them that a birth right land is getting far worse than closer to becoming better for a nation to remain Graced under GOD. AMEN!

Solomon writes in Ecclesiastes 8:11, “Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.”

Recitals messaging claims that benefits” only accrue to the wicked, however, 

as Asaph came to understand concerning the end of the ungodly was

 it will not be nearly as rosy as their earlier prosperity had hinted.

Sooner or later, though, their sins and crimes catch up to them, 

and divine justice—destruction and death—follow.

We will get a running start in Jeremiah 12:5: 

God begins by asserting, in effect, “If you think it’s bad now, wait until I’m done with Judah. 

The worst of times are yet to come!” Jeremiah has only done battle with those in Jerusalem in a time of relative calm—the calm before the storm.

The going would get really tough outside Judah, in the countries where God would eventually send the prophet, in Egypt, Spain, and Ireland.

As in His response to Baruch, God here reminds Jeremiah that he was not living in normal times but turbulent ones: “I have forsaken My house, I have left My heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of My soul into the hand of her enemies” (verse 7). When God lifts His protective hand from His people, all sorts of terrible things are likely to ensue. The wolves will pounce.

God goes on to state His agreement with His prophet that the land has suffered from mismanagement. In verses 10-11, He claims that “many rulers” (the word in Hebrew more specifically denotes “shepherds”)

. . . have destroyed My vineyard,

They have trodden My portion underfoot;

They have made My pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.

They have made it desolate;

Desolate, it mourns to Me;

The whole land is made desolate,

Because no one takes it to heart.

God had surveyed His land and had seen the horrendous devastation wrought upon it by self-serving, uncaring, unappreciative people, leaders of the nation who should have known better. The result of the environmental degradation will be a lot of work—but not much in the way of harvest. Note verse 13:

They have sown wheat but reaped thorns;

They have put themselves to pain but do not profit.

But be ashamed of your harvest

Because of the fierce anger of the Lord.

In verse 14, God reiterates that He will in no way be deterred from His purpose of uprooting Judah. The wicked in Judah will ultimately not prosper, and they will assuredly reap what they have sown. He stresses here that He will also destroy Judah’s “evil neighbors,” who have attacked her over the years:

Against all My evil neighbors who touch the inheritance which I have caused My people Israel to inherit—behold, I will pluck them out of their land and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.

God has re-surveyed His land, has seen the horrendous devastation's

that persist wrought upon self, and commands time to get to work

where time grows shorter by day if desired still saved.
