Jacob's Midweek Bible Study | Jeremiah | Part 27

Jacob Prasch continues his Jeremiah study (Jeremiah 18:11 onward), using the “potter and clay” warning as a parallel to what he sees as modern apostasy in the Church of England: he warns us of the British monarchy and Anglican leadership for abandoning the Reformation heritage (e.g., the 39 Articles and the martyrs), highlights perceived doctrinal collapse around ecumenism and LGBTQ affirmation, and frames this as the same “we’ll follow our own plans” stubbornness Jeremiah confronted. He then expounds Jeremiah’s imagery of leaving the “ancient paths” (Scripture and apostolic doctrine, not mere worship styles), arguing that deviation leads to national desolation and external judgment—specifically portraying Islam’s growth in Britain and the West as a consequence of the church losing its moral and spiritual witness. Finally, he follows the text into the religious establishment’s plot to silence Jeremiah (a model, in his view, for how compromised religious systems target truth-tellers), and he turns to Jeremiah’s anguished prayer that shifts from intercession to calling for judgment once repentance is refused—connecting this pattern to end-times themes (a transition from “tribulation” to “wrath”) while concluding that, despite institutional collapse, Christ will not forsake those who remain faithful to the biblical “highway.”
