The Fruitful Place Was A Wilderness

Jeremiah 4:25-27

I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by His fierce anger. For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.

From Adam to Noah the descent of mankind into depravity was such an abomination to the LORD God that His fierce anger was turned against the earth and its inhabitants. Lucifer enlisted one third of the angels in support of his rebellion; they in turn took part in the corruption of mankind in a vain attempt to prevent the Holy and Anointed One, Jesus Christ the Messiah, from being born. Eight souls were saved from the flood, to preserve God’s perfect will for the ages. In redeeming the earth for the final time, the LORD God will purge it by fire until the wilderness of sin is annihilated, and the fruitful place eternally restored. The whole land will be desolate for a season, yet He will not make a full end.
