Jeremiah 1:17-18 Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them. For, behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land.
God told Jeremiah to gird up his loins, or as we might say now "man up." Jeremiah earlier said that he couldn't speak because he was a child. By himself, he was right, he had no strength. God didn't plan on sending him out in his own strength.
Potentates, princes, priests and people stand against God's people, we are like a defensed city, iron pillar and brazen wall in Christ.
Jeremiah 1:19 And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.
Yes, they will fight against you and they will not listen, but they did not send Jeremiah, did they?
God sent, God gave the message and God would be with Jeremiah in the fire. They fight against you Jeremiah, but I, Jehovah, am there to deliver you. Christ, the deliverer had promised. Christ the deliverer HAS promised. Trust Him.
