Jeremiah chapters 40-43 give an account of Judah (Israel) after their land was destroyed by the Chaldean army with many of them taken captive into Babylon.  A small remnant was left to keep the land from overgrowing, and they were supposed to just submit to God's punishment and correction for their idolatry.  Instead, when things got hard, they wanted to return to Egypt where they would see no war, or be bothered by the war trumpets, and where there would be food and comfort.  In Egypt, they could continue their worship of the Queen of Heaven.  They inquired about the move to the Prophet Jeremiah, but did not like his answer from God.  Christians do this same thing all the time, bringing a curse onto their lives.  There are only two ways.  Blessings or curses.  We chose the wrong path because of our lust for the things of the world, and then pay a price.  In this Biblical lesson, we examine these Scriptures for insight into where God really wants us to be, and the dire consequences of disobedience.
