The Iran Attack: The Deception Threatening Christian Support for Israel

Описание: In this Bible study, we explore the powerful final chapter of Isaiah and the transition into the book of Jeremiah. Isaiah 66 introduces one of the most sobering images in Scripture: “where the worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.” This Hebrew idiom, later used by Jesus in the New Testament, points to the reality of eternal judgment and the seriousness of rejecting God.

The imagery comes from the Valley of Gehenna outside Jerusalem, a place associated with continual burning and decay. Jesus referenced this same imagery in Mark 9 to warn about the eternal consequences of sin and the urgency of removing anything that keeps us from faith in Him.

From there, the study moves into Jeremiah 2:13 and the powerful metaphor of “broken cisterns.” God describes Israel abandoning Him, the fountain of living water, and digging their own broken reservoirs that cannot hold water. This vivid picture illustrates humanity’s tendency to seek life, fulfillment, and security in things other than God.

Throughout the teaching, we examine how these ancient warnings still apply today. People continue to build modern “cisterns” in money, power, relationships, pleasure, and self-reliance, yet only Christ offers the true living water that satisfies the soul.

Jesus later stands in the temple and declares, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.” The invitation remains the same today: stop trusting in broken cisterns and come to the source of living water.

Topics covered in this study:
• Isaiah 66 and the imagery of the undying worm
• Jesus’ teaching on Gehenna and eternal judgment
• The doctrine of hell and God's justice
• Jeremiah’s warning about broken cisterns
• Idolatry and trusting in false sources of life
• Jesus as the fountain of living water

Scriptures referenced include:
Isaiah 66:24
Mark 9:47–48
Jeremiah 2:13
John 7:37–38

This message is a call to examine what we are trusting in and to return to the only source of true life: Jesus Christ.

Keep looking up. Our redemption draws near.
