How does Jeremiah 46:14 inspire sharing?
In what ways should Jeremiah 46:14 inspire us to share God's warnings today?

Jeremiah 46:14 — An Ancient Alarm

“Announce it in Egypt, and proclaim it in Migdol; proclaim it also in Memphis and Tahpanhes: ‘Take your stand and be prepared, for the sword devours those around you.’”


Timeless Truths in the Verse

• God’s warnings are public, not private.

• The message is urgent: “Take your stand and be prepared.”

• Judgment is certain: “the sword devours.”

• Silence would leave people unprepared and unprotected.


Why We Must Share God’s Warnings Today

• God still appoints watchmen (Ezekiel 3:17–19).

• The gospel includes both rescue and warning (Acts 20:26-27).

• Jesus commands proclamation to every creature (Mark 16:15).

• Love compels us to speak; withholding truth is the opposite of love (2 Corinthians 5:14).

• Time is short and eternity is real (Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 22:12).


What to Communicate When We Sound the Alarm

1. God’s holiness and the reality of judgment (Romans 2:5–6).

2. Christ’s finished work as the only refuge (John 14:6; 1 Peter 3:18).

3. The call to repent and believe (Acts 17:30-31).

4. The promise of new life for all who respond (John 3:16; 2 Corinthians 5:17).


Practical Ways to Proclaim the Warning

• Speak personally and directly—family, friends, co-workers.

• Use Scripture openly; God’s Word carries its own power (Hebrews 4:12).

• Leverage modern platforms—print, social media, podcasts—without diluting truth.

• Support missionaries and local outreaches that faithfully preach the whole counsel of God.

• Live consistently so the message rings true (Philippians 2:15-16).

• Stay “ready in season and out of season” (2 Timothy 4:2).


Encouragement for Faithful Messengers

• God is patient, “not wanting anyone to perish” (2 Peter 3:9).

• Our responsibility is obedience; results belong to Him (1 Corinthians 3:6-7).

• A clear witness makes us “innocent of the blood of all men” (Acts 20:26).

• Those who turn and trust Christ will be our joy and crown (1 Thessalonians 2:19).
