Verse #25-30 Note the idol worshipstones, stocks, worshipping the moon, the
stars, the
Sun, these had there origin in the Chaldean Mysteries. These
mysteries
were propagated by Nimrod, the son of Ham (See Genesis 10: 120), and his
wife Semiramis. The Golden Cup symbolized the mysterious
beverages
which were consumed by those who would be initiated into these
mysteries.
The beverages were concocted by mixing wine, honey, water and
flour and
other intoxicating elements which were not revealed. Once
intoxicated by
these elements various depraved rituals were performed.
Semiramis was
worshipped as Rhea, the great Mother of the gods, with such
atrocious rites
as identified her with Venus, the Mother of all impurity, and raised
the very
city where she had reigned to a bad eminence among the nations,
as the
grand seat at once of idolatry
and consecrated prostitution.

Jordan?
Jeremiahs impatience corrected.if he is frustrated and discouraged with Gods people and Gods
enemies at this point (the footman) how will he handle the impending trials which will bring
increased discouragement?
If He is only confident in God during times of peace, How will his confidence fare in times of great
difficulty i.e., the swelling f the Jordan? The swelling of the Jordan refers to the thickets on the
banks of the Jordan river, which were notorious for possessing Lions and other wild beasts.?
Vs. 5 6
In the earlier verses, Jeremiah complained of the treacherous and prosperous nature of the
enemies of Jehovah. In these verses he is told that worse things are in store for him that his own
family would be his fiercest opponent. This was the lot of our Lord, as well.
(See John 7:4-6, Micah 7: 5-6, Mark 13: 9-13)
1. The Word of God is not according to the flesh., and may therefore be expected to excite
hatred and opposition where that asserts itself.
2. The servant of God may often be tried by the failure and defection of his closest friends.
3. It behooves all of entrusted with Divine Truth to ask ourselves what is the ground of our
confidence?

Vs. 5 A Dark Prospect
I. Despair under lesser trouble makes the anticipation of greater trouble a dark prospect.
1. Greater trouble may reasonably be expected. God typically prepares us for the endurance of
trials by
sending them in degrees and reserving the more severe ones until we have been trained to
the
endurance of milder ones.
2. The possibility of greater trouble is not in itself an alarming fact. Trouble is fearful only to the
extent
that it strikes fear into us. If we are prepared to meet it, we are not terrified by it! God can
give strength
equal to our requirement, and more as is needed for sterner testsMy grace is sufficient

to courage

2. Quite often the real stress and trials are not what we think them to be..Light affliction
and we may
complain and rebel against even the slightest annoyances. Our spirits need to exercised

increasing difficulties that we may grow in endurance and character.

serious matter
and defeat under it involves a more overwhelming disaster. Therefore it is exceedingly

Jeremiah 25: 15 - 38
Vs. # 15 27 (Judgment on the nations)
This prophesy of judgment upon the nations has its fulfillment throughout the reign of the Gentile
empires; however, it clearly and distinctly points to the end of the age when all Babylonian systems
(political, economic, and religious) are judged and a new order of righteousness is ushered in; first
among the Israel nations, and subsequently in all other nations of the earth.

It should be understood that judgment begins with the house of God where honor and privilege have
been bestowed. This is primarily national in scope, but can also be applied to the church, which is His
Body based on the order of resurrection.

The Protocol(s)
1.1. The official procedure or system of rules governing affairs of state or diplomatic
occasions.
2.2 The original draft of a diplomatic document, especially of the terms of a treaty
agreed to in
conference and signed by the parties.
synonyms:
Protocol #1
Political freedom is an idea, not a fact.It is necessary to know how to apply this idea when there is need of a
clever bait to gain the support of the people for ones party, if such a party has undertaken to defeat another party
already in power. This task is made easier if the opponent has himself been infected by principles of freedom or
so called liberalism and for the sake of the idea will yield some of his power. Our triumph has been rendered
easier by the fact that in our relations with the men whom we wanted we have always worked upon the most
sensitive chords of the human mind, upon the cash account, upon the cupidity, upon the insatiability for material
needs of man,; and each one of these human weaknesses, taken alone, is sufficient to paralyze initiative, for it
hands over to the will of men the disposition of him who has bought their activities.
Protocol #2
The administration chosen by us from the masses fro their servility will not be persons trained for government,
and consequently they will easily become pawns in our game, played by our learned and talented counsellors,
specialists, educated from early childhood to administer world affairs. AS we know, our specialists have been
acquiring the knowledge necessary for governing.
Protocol #4
It is for this reason that we must undermine faith, and eradicate from the minds of the Gentiles the very principles
of God and Soul, and replace these conceptions by mathematical calculations and material desires.
Protocol # 5
To obtain control over public opinion, it is first necessary to confuse it by the expression from various sides of so
many conflicting opinions..this is the first secret. The second secret consists in so increasing and intensifying
the shortcomings of the people in their habits, passions and mode of living that no one will be able to collect
himself in the chaos, and consequently, people will lose all their mutual understanding. This measure will serve
us also in breeding disagreement in all parties, in disintegrating all those collective forces which are still unwilling
to submit to us and in discouraging all personal initiative which can in any way interfere with our undertaking. We
will so wear out and exhaust the Gentiles by all this that they will be compelled to offer us an international
authority, which by its position will enable us to absorb without disturbance all the government forces of the world
and thus form a super government. We must so direct the education of Gentile society that its hands will drop
in the weakness of discouragement, in the face of any undertaking where initiative is needed.
2
Protocol # 6
We shall soon begin to establish huge monopolies, colossal reservoirs of wealth, upon which even the big Gentile
properties, will be dependent to such an extent, that they will all fall together with the government credit on the
day following the political catastrophe. The economists here present must carefully weigh the significance of this
combination. We must develop by every means the importance of our super-government, representing it as the
protector and benefactor to all who voluntarily submit to us. The aristocracy of the Gentiles as apolitical force has
passed away. We need not take them into consideration. But, as owners of the land, they are harmful to us in that
they are independent in their source of livelihood. Therefore , at all costs, we must deprive them of their land.
The best means to attain this is to increase taxes and mortgage indebtedness. These measures will keep
landownership in a state of unconditional subordination. Unable to satisfy their needs by small inheritances, the
aristocrats among the Gentiles will burn themselves out rapidly. At the same time it is necessary to encourage
trade and industry vigorously and especially speculation, the function of which is to act as a counterpoise to
industry. Without speculation, industry will cause private capital to increase and tend to improve the condition of
agriculture, by freeing the land from indebtedness for loans by land banks. It is necessary for industry to deplete
the land both of laborers and Capital, and through speculations, transfer all the money of the world into our
hands, thereby throwing the Gentiles into the ranks of the proletariat. The Gentiles will then bow before us to
obtain their right to existence.
We will force up wages, which however will be of no benefit to workers, for we at the same time will cause a rise
in the prices of prime necessities, pretending this is due to decline of agriculture and of cattle raising. We will also
artfully and deeply undermine the sources of production by instilling in workman the ideas of anarchy and
encourage them in the use of alcohol, at the same time taking measures to drive all the intellectual forces of the
Gentiles from the land.
Protocol # 7
We must force the Gentile governments to adopt measures which will promote our broadly conceived plan
already approaching its triumphal goal by bringing to bear the pressure of stimulated public opinion which has in
reality been organized by us with the help of the so called great power of the press. With few exceptions, not
worth considering, it has already fallen into our hands.
Protocol #8
We will surround our government with a world of economists. It is for this reason that the science of economics is
the chief subject of instruction taught by the Jews. We shall be surrounded by a whole galaxy of bankers,
industrialists, capitalists and especially by millionaires. Because actually, everything will be decided by an appeal
to figures.
Protocol #9
In order not to destroy prematurely the Gentile institutions, we have laid our efficient hands upon them, and
reaped the springs of their mechanism. They were formerly in strict and just order but we have replaced them
with a liberal disorganized and arbitrary administration. We have tampered with jurisprudence, the franchise, the
press, the freedom of person, and most important of all, education and culture, the cornerstone of free existence.
We have misled, stupefied and demoralized the youth of the Gentiles by means of education in principles and
theories patently false to us, but which we have inspired. Above existing laws, without actual change, but by
distorting them through contradictory interpretations, we have created something stupendous in the way of
results.
In reality there are no obstacles before us. Our super-government has such an extra legal status that it may be
called by the energetic and strong word a dictatorship. I can conscientiously say that, at the present time, we are
the lawmakers. We create courts and jurisprudence. We rule with a strong will because we hold in our hands the
remains of a once strong party, now subjugated to us.
Peoples of all opinions and all doctrines are at our service, restorers of monarchy, demagogues, Socialists,
Communists, and other Utopians. We have put them all to work. Everyone from his point of view is undermining
the last remanant of authority, is trying to overthrow all existing order. All the governments have been tormented
by these actions. But we will not give them peace until they recognize our super-government.
Protocol #10
To wear everyone out by dissensions, animosity, feuds, famine, inoculation of diseases, want, until the Gentiles
see no other way of escape except an appeal to our money and our power. When we introduced the poison of
liberalism intot he government organism, its entire political complexion changed.

Protocol #12
We have attained control of the press to the extent that all news is received through several agencies in which it
is centralized from all parts of the world. The agencies will then be to all intents and purposes our own institutions
and will publish only that which we permit. If we have already managed to dominate the mind of Gentile society to
such a point hat almost all see world affairs through the colored lenses of the spectacles which we place before
their eyes, and now if there is not one government with barriers erected against our access to that which by
Gentile stupidity is called state secrets, what then will it be when we are the recognized masters of the world in
the person of our universal ruler.
Protocol #13
To prevent them from really thinking anything out themselves, we shall deflect their attention to amusements,
games, past-times, excitements and peoples palaces. Such interests will distract their minds completely from
questions on which we might be obliged to struggle with them. Becoming less and less accustomed to
independent thinking, people will express themselves in unison with us because we alone offer new lines of
thought of course through persons whom they do not consider as in any way connected with us.
Protocol #14
In countries called advanced, we have created a senseless, filthy and disgusting literature. For a short time after
our entrance into power we shall encourage its existence so that it may show ijn greater relief tge contrast
between it and the written and spoken announcements which will emanate from us.
Protocol #15
Under our influence the execution of the laws of the Gentiles is reduced to a minimum. Respect for the law is
undermined by the liberal interpretation we have introduced into the sphere. The courts decide as we dictate,
even in the most important cases in which are involved fundamental principles or political issues, viewing them in
the light in which we present them to the gentile administration through agents with whom we apparently have
nothing in common, through newspaper opinion and other avenues.
Protocol #17
We have taken good care long ago to discredit the Gentile clergy and thereby to destroy their mission, which at
present might hamper us considerably. Their influence over the people diminishes daily. Freedom of conscience
has been proclaimed everywhere. Consequently, it is only a question of time when the complete crash of the
Christian religion will occur.
