Jeremiah 21:7-10, 13-14, Matthew 22:37. The Lord fought against His people because of their stubbornness to follow after other gods. Who he demonstrated to them who had no power as Yahweh does. He pursued the people of Israel to in fact go out of the country for he was going to destroy their home country. So, we are out to believe in the Lord for he knows what's best for us.
