The Stumbling Block for the Church of Laodicea

"Among my people are wicked men who lie in wait like men who snare birds and like those who set traps to catch men. Like cages full of birds, their houses are full of deceit; they have become rich and powerful and have grown fat and sleek. Their evil deeds have no limit; they do not plead the case of the fatherless to win it, they do not defend the rights of the poor. A horrible and shocking thing has happened in the land: The prophet's prophecy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and my people love it this way. But what will you do in the end?"
- Jeremiah 5:26-31

"Then the officials said to the king, "This man should be put to death. This man is not seeking the good of these people but their ruin." "He is in your hands," King Zedekiah answered, "the king can do nothing to oppose you." So, they took Jeremiah and put him into the cistern of Malkijah, the king's son, which was in the courtyard of the guard. They lowered Jeremiah by ropes into the cistern; it had no water in it, only mud, and Jeremiah sank into the mud."
- Jeremiah 38:4-6

Jeremiah, under the guidance of God, describes the situation among God's people. He refers to wickedness, traps, snares, deceit, evil, injustice and lies. This is seemingly what the people prefer.
The officials, on behalf of their puppet king, set out to eliminate the problem, Jeremiah must die.
In this book, we will explore all these characters and examine how the deception they have practised is still alive today. The message to the church of Laodicea is "But what will you do in the end?"
This book asks modern mankind the same question: What will you do in the end when you are confronted by God, majestic in His holiness?
