He commanded his prophet to offer them wine. Then, as a commentator notes, it was Jeremiah, the man, not God, who told, them to drink. This command of Jeremiah they had a perfect right' to decline. Now God drives home His tremen dous object lessoxx upon Judah and Jerusalenx. He tells Jeremiah to declare to the natioxx that what these descendants of Rechab, not even Is raelites, had done so faithfully in obeying a human command, put to shanxe the disobedience of the Israel ites, who would not obey God’s own commands. They “obey tlxeir father’s commandment; notwith standing I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye hearkened not xinto )xxe.” said God to Judah. There shall be two results, declar ed the Lord. Judah must be pun ished; the Reclxabites should be re warded. “I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusal enx all the evil that I have pronounc ed against them; because I have spoken unto them, but they have not heard.’.’ But for the Reclxabites God pledged His inviolable word that “Because ye have obeyed the com mandment of Jonadab, youx’ father, and kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he hath com manded. you; therefore " thus saitlx the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel; Jonadab, the soix of Rechab, shall not want a maxi to stand before me for ever.” The family was to con tinue in perpetuity.^ _____ _______ig and ’significant fact that the Reclxabites returned from captivity many years later, and that traces have been found in Ara bia, professed descendants still ex isting ixx Mesopotania and Yemen, This true story of the sturdy eth ics, tlio normal backbone, the per sistent filial, devotioxx of that fam ily that lived two .and a half millexi- ixiuxns ago, and that lacked so much that we have today of encourage ment to righteous living, shames present-day generations. , If. the Reclxabites could continue conscien tiously to be teetotalers, ■ for no higher motive than that their ances- ^* TFTs aiTTri ter es tin; obeyed God’s orders’ so now.
