Jeremiah 19:1-15
The Lord asked Jeremiah buy a clay jar from a potter, take along some of the elders of the people and of the priests and go out to the Vally of Ben Hinnom, near the entrance of the Potsherd Gate. Procalimed that the days are coming, declare the Lord, when people will no longer call this place Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter.
Break the jar while those who go with you are watching, and say to them I will smash this nation and this city just as this potter's jar is smashed and cannot be repaired.
The city of Jerusalem will be defiled like this place, Topheth. Jeremiah went to Temple and pronounced against them, because they were stiff-necked and would not listen to my words.
Jeremiah breaks his pottery jar in another acted parable.
Why?
Having got people's attention, he explains:God will break the city and people as surely as irreparably as that jug. Jeremiah goes straight from he Hinnom Valley to the Temple; and there his message lands him in trouble.
Israel is created by the Lord and is He loved one, like potter formed a jar from clay, but for their sins and did not listen to God's words, so the Lord smashed his clay jar as parable to destroy these people and city. In the Lord's angry who can stand?
How?
God's wrath come upon to the extreme evil nation and people, God is love, he hope people repent and turn their way to righteousness. O Lord, please have pity on those people who does not know you, let them return to you, this is my prayer.
