[0:00] I would always say that the fifth chapter of the Lamentations and the Advership 1921.

[0:14] Thou, O Lord, remainest forever, thy throne from generation to generation.

[0:29] Wherefore dost thou forget us forever, and forsake us so long time? Turn thou us unto thee, O Lord, and we shall return.

[0:45] Renew our days as of old. Lamentations 5, verses 19-21 It is an amazing thing is that we have, by the Spirit, any right conception in that measure that is possible of the eternal, incomprehensible get over and that he should have anything to do with men whom he created in uprightness in a perfect righteousness a happy pair they were in the Garden of Eden and they walked with the Lord in the corner of the sky and that they were created under a law of all the trees of the field of the Macy except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil but the devil kind the mystery is a mystery that it does not belong to us to inquire into why

[2:34] God has allowed sin to enter but he did before the dinner and they fell and ruined all the human race every one all sin all sin all rush into their being and defiled every particle I believe it because the Word of God declares it and I know it in so much it's true and there's a beautiful line in the end one of the most terrible sentences in the Bible was when the Lord said to Adam and Eve and he drove out the man he couldn't bear a man he'd sing and only God he drove him out but in one of our demons are lying but banished then we fly to be oh garden of gethseminate oh we break your hearts if we really are one who having their eyes opened and predestinated as to be one of his people to be conformed to the image of his dear son and if we are one of those who flee to the garden of gethseminate well these lamentations are wonderful

[4:52] I don't know whether such a word is beautiful is the right word for them but God's in it and if you read through these lamentations and then the text you'll see there that Jeremiah going through all other sufferings mentioned he has anchor in the ever living God thou oh Lord remainest forever nothing else does it has a little connection with our opening hymn the moon and star shall lose their life the sun shall sink in endless night both heaven and earth shall pass away the works of nature all decay thou

[6:09] O Lord remainest but they that in the Lord confide and shelter in his wounded side shall see the danger overpass stand every storm and live at last blessed people in love and the more you consider it from every part of the scripture by the Holy Spirit it will put things in their right places you will see light in God's light you will see the world as God sees it you will see yourself as he sees you and you will see him as he can only be seen by revelation and here we are sitting before that great God the object of worship the count of every blessing and his beloved son it pleased him that the

[7:27] Lord Jesus should not only possess the fullness but that he should accomplish salvation in him was the fullness and by him salvation was accomplished and what a salvation thou oh oh oh Lord who remaineth forever and that remaining includes his immutability he remains and he cannot change so it connects with what he declared himself for I change not therefore he sons of Jacob are not consumed and that he remains is that he remains whatever he was there's no change in him his divine sovereignty remains he does according to his will in the army of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth none can stay his hand or say unto him what do itself as an important word and you'll find it so as you have brought you see these lamentations their sorrows and I have seen and felt a beauty in them there's some strong language there's some terrible dealings of the

[9:33] Lord with his people and with the church of God how that the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel and remembered not the foot stood in the day of his anger and so at each page you'll find the judgment the judgment and yet those who all and his people partake of these lamentations each in their measure but the text is a conclusion thou O Lord remain none can move and he is of one mind none can turn in thou

[10:45] O Lord have remained forever ever and he remains still the same when in the person of his dear son he came to save and redeem his people he did not cease to be a god when he took human nature he became what he was not but he did not cease to be what he was there remains he remains the same when in humanity he remains the same as he is in his deity no change they remain and it can be a comfort and has been a comfort to people in their individual experience and

[12:02] I do like to come there I must say come down but to come to individuals some make their heartache to see their trials and sorrows that enter their homes enter their hearts and at times bring a ruin where they look for prosperity and they seem to be immersed in everything calculated for their destruction but when brought there this is a wonderful word is spoken to the soul and thou own or remainest forever but you'll be brought to places brought to points I believe in my little way although it was a pretty big way that my feelings and experience in 1936 of people everything was gone so far but there were many and

[13:34] I tell you at him that was a great help to me I see and mind you I was just ending my employment to come to the world I see and hope to find a portion for my soul I couldn't find one for my body to heal a feverish mind mind what a feverish mind and make a bankrupt a hole and a hole a cup of blessing for the poor that's full and free and flowing all oh my dear friends you can be brought very low but it doesn't order the cakes wherever you go if you sink into the belly of hell with

[14:46] Jonah there oh Lord remind it forever mercy as you have a living faith in him.

[15:25] To know him by his manifesting himself to you. And to know him in Christ.

[15:37] To know him in the pardon of sin. To know him in his mighty wisdom to direct your way. And to know him in the Holy Ghost.

[15:51] To give you and equip you in will prayer. So as to force a passage through iron bar and brazen gates. He reminds.

[16:05] Nothing can diminish his sovereignty nor his omnipotent power. Not all the loads of the burdens are cast upon him.

[16:20] Not all the sins of his people. And yet he brings them into trouble. And that word in the Acts you know.

[16:39] Is very miscustive. But most of the instruction scriptures are in the midst of trouble.

[16:49] The apostle when he was preaching at Antioch. He was saying. To confirm the souls of the disciples.

[17:06] And that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom. And there is a fight.

[17:20] And there is a fight to fight. A good fight of faith. And there is enemies. Not flesh and blood.

[17:32] But principalities and powers. In which we need the whole armor of God. And yet all the enemies of his people.

[17:42] And every one of them can make no difference there. Nothing can influence him. Nothing can influence him.

[17:53] Nothing can influence him. Nothing can happen. Very again. Now all the things that he Sously said was, He shall under practice.

[18:11] And his love, his everlasting love, immutable, unchanging love.

[18:23] And his merit, infinite merit, for God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their iniquities to them.

[18:43] Death be mine. Never offer his mind. Well, it's a mercy to know him.

[18:57] And it's a mercy to have known him in experience when you've been passing through this lamentation.

[19:11] I remember on the occasion I met and referred to just now, when the 50-cold January, I worked all day and done nothing.

[19:32] And I went to a restaurant. They brought me something warm to eat. And as they laid it before me, they were, my heart was hard and full of rebellion and fretting.

[19:51] And the foxes had holes, the birds of the air had nests, but the Son of Man had not where to lay him.

[20:12] Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. No, O Lord, remind him.

[20:25] Therefore, his power reminds, his love reminds, his immutability reminds, his omnipotence reminds.

[20:38] All who can speak of this, Joe Overt, incomprehensible, we should never know him.

[20:48] And he reminds too, is in another way. He remains in the covenant of grace that can never be altered, that was entered into by the Blessed Trinity.

[21:04] The covenant of grace was not made with man. It was made for him. The covenant of grace was entered into by the decree and purposes of the Blessed Trinity.

[21:24] He didn't make it with man. He did the first one in Eden. And man broke it. The righteousness in which man was created was perfect without a spark.

[21:45] Must be it was a work of Christ. The creator. But he was losable. And he lost it.

[21:59] But with respect to the covenant of grace, they are reminded. And therefore the covenant of grace remains. Nothing can alter it.

[22:10] Not all the sins of his people can alter it. Not the devil alone is either. Though, O Lord, remaineth forever.

[22:26] forever. And it would be impossible to use such a term unless there were something commensurate with the word ever, forever.

[22:44] And that is eternity. And it will take his people to eternity. The life road.

[22:59] From generation to generation. There is no contingency. There is no contingency.

[23:10] There is no contingency. Look at the wars. Look at the state of the countries. Look at the murders. Look at the earth. Look at the earth. Look at the earth. Look at the earth.

[23:20] Look at the earth. Look at the earth. But the Lord has risen and shaken the earth. His ears shaken it. But he remains.

[23:33] He carries on. His undisturbed affairs.

[23:46] Nothing can disturb him. The nations are. It's a drop in a bucket. And the people upon the earth are.

[23:57] But their strong followers. Oh, how great he is. And you'll be brought to me. What is the latest end? And it is mysterious that the Lord should bring his people, or you read the Bible, into some of the deepest trials.

[24:26] You each know your own page. And the devil will get at you with the power of unbelief.

[24:47] About faith. And if you have the faith as a grain of mustard cheese, how the devil himself could never turn your wiseness food to hate him.

[25:15] It remains. It remains. It remains. Covenant remains. The promises remain. The exceeding great and precious promises.

[25:28] Nothing can alter them. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again.

[25:39] It'll remain. And this blessed word inspired us will remind every word of us settled in heaven. Nothing can be added to it.

[25:51] Nothing takes it from it. Oh, it's a blessing. If any word or verse of this book has been in your heart by the Holy Spirit, if one verse in this sacred and Bible has ever been in your heart, by the Holy Spirit, you'll go to heaven.

[26:20] It'll remain. Every word is told unto you. And it is very blessed when you consider it under the heading of the covenant of grace.

[26:38] And we're, alienation. It's very special. Ever. When we look for you, when you come to the giving birth to grace. Theakukan is given in your heart. And it is a challenge but not even in your heart. Therefore, don't be grateful.

[26:49] The kick segment for you to say not only do any word or what do you to do, not only do any word or the word or one word or one word скаж, Find it out ongoing. For those who forgive the Lord have to claim, than only do nothing, the word or the word or the word they forgive him,ョ preguntas anything, separate away from his followers.

[27:02] Terence, Sabra, From eight different heaven that has been enabled within his blood or Divineшь and Ralphie, the person who was given your actions. Were taken into the mind of you. and that does give us a hope to pray for our children and our children's children.

[27:13] And I would say this and listen to it, that wonderful little phrase in the 102nd Psalm.

[27:25] This was written for the generation to come. We speak things that we really feel and speak them really when we are not looking at thy face but trying to find things by sight.

[27:50] And so there it is said, when the Lord shall build up Zion, he will appear in his glory.

[28:05] This shall be written for the generation to come. And there will always be a generation to come while the earth stands.

[28:17] But we have to say when you say, well, this chapel, it got down to the window and that chapel's been closed and it looks as though we are simply falling to pieces.

[28:32] It's all wrong. This is written for the generation to come. Thy throne from generation to generation, thou remain.

[28:44] And the Lord Jesus Christ himself, he dwells in Zion.

[28:58] It's his inheritance. He dwells nowhere in this world like he dwells in Zion. His universal omnipresence is a different thing.

[29:13] There are the solemnity of Zion. He gather his people there and he sends the ministry.

[29:27] Men talk of the Holy Ghost if they're rightly in the ministry. And he makes the word through that channel appointed.

[29:39] And if you receive a word that has done that in your heart and that has changed your heart, renewed your will and turned your feet to the angel, it will remain.

[29:55] They throw from generation to generation.

[30:11] That's a good word for parents. I do feel I feel so sorry about my dear friends who should have been here tonight and many that have got trouble in their homes.

[30:38] But thy throne, thy kingship, thy authority, thy sovereignty is from generation to generation.

[30:55] And now this next verse is like a hyphen which joins the 19th and to the 21st verses.

[31:05] Wherefore does they forget us forever and forsake us for so long time? It seems such different language from that which we've been considering.

[31:22] But it is out there. And that's because the Lord reminds me the power of the Holy Ghost. But it turns into a prayer.

[31:39] Turn now up, son of the Lord. Leave everything out. It is a wonderful feeling.

[31:54] But you have to be a new to losses, pains, crosses, some bitter things, something that will sink you relatively or in some way or another that it will bring you to this.

[32:20] Turn now up, son of the Lord. Because it is a time when you turn to something else. especially when the Lord has forgotten you and forsaken you for such a long time.

[32:37] Look at the trial of it. Even the text under that condition is an encouragement. wherefore does therefore get us forever and forsake us so long time and forsake us and forsake us and forsake us so long time.

[32:59] And then it comes to prayer. Thou has grown from generation to generation wherefore does therefore get us forever and forsake us so long time.

[33:12] And then it comes to prayer. That's where the Lord intended the whole of the lamentations to come. And when we open your heart start your anger in the storm.

[33:30] Turn near us and we shall be turned. Oh Lord and we shall be turned.

[33:41] Renew our days as of old. music. For I do believe that there is music in heaven to the Lord.

[33:54] He put his people through these problems. And if he should speak to you by the Spirit thou O Lord remain forever and you will be able that they turn as thou may unto thee O Lord.

[34:20] For when you come to something some trials withering trials killing trials you might turn to something else or turn away from God.

[34:38] But if he has chosen you you'll never turn away from him because he'll never turn away from you he comes to water he will remain. In the midst of all your rebellions and fretting love reminds a sign.

[35:00] Turn near us and obey his very song. You know a time comes when a false religion will not be able to stand the test.

[35:22] You turn to something else turn away from God. and if you are destitute of grace you are in strength and it may be in practice you'll say I have nothing more to do with it.

[35:43] There is many going away from the truth under the power of temptation when they be brought out of death. and so he has turned there was under the I said before I said again you are safe or troubled kind desolate sinner if you are turned unto the Lord the man who you are if you are God warned oh pray to be kept God warned there were those in his days they turned they walked no more with him they couldn't stand his his authority when he said except eat the bread eat the flesh and drink the blood of the son of man he got no life in you they said this is a hard saying and they walked no more with him now you look at the difference instead of turning back and walking no more with him grace faith in the heart maintained by the

[37:24] Holy Ghost said turn there are sons of thee oh Lord and we shall be turned return there will stay much as there will be no mistake about it if he turns us we should be turned nothing can stay at hand or say what doest thou at all they'll remain turn turn there are sons of thee oh Lord and we shall be turned renew our days as of old oh this is a revival this is a coming out of a horrible pit and a maury fray this is the sun rising the sun rising of the son of righteousness within his wings and then when he answers that prayer renew our days as of old then you revive then you once more can cry then you can believe then you have the joy of salvation oh may the text and the horror of the lamentations be made a blessing to every poor troubled sinner here there's nothing else really and we shall soon be gone you won't remain the sorrow will and blessed be God so will your body if you belong to him and be a fashion like unto his glorious body he remains in heaven he will remain when the earth is done with and burnt up saying therefore that all these things shall be dissolved what manner of persons ought we to be in all only conversation and godliness looking for and facing unto the coming of the day of
