The staggering thing is that the unconverted priests of ancient Israel could be charged with going along with Baal worship, and so can many born again evangelical pastors in Britain, and in the United States, and then throughout the world today. Look at these evangelical Anglican clergymen who went along with their Nottingham Statement, saying that all Roman Catholics are born again Christians, aligning with a humanist archbishop of Canterbury, identifying more and more with apostate Protestantism. That is exactly the same thing as Jeremiah speaks of. That is as horrible as identifying with the prophets of Baal. What is the difference between a sin of a prophet or a pastor in ancient Israel, and an Anglican clergyman who willingly – even if he is born again – and enthusiastically identifies himself spiritually with priests and fellow clergyman, bishops and archbishops, who deny all the doctrines of the faith? What a tragedy that it is exactly the same now. Is the Lord, honestly, going to visit revival upon such a generation? Of course not. God in heaven is saying through the prophet Jeremiah that under no circumstances will he resuscitate and restore this generation. Under no circumstances, his holiness forbids it: not while there is wilful compromise; not while there is accommodation to sin and failure to reproach. Under no circumstances, those people will be discarded even if it takes seventy years of captivity in Babylonian for a new generation to rise up. That's the teaching of the word of God. And it's about time we begin to realise that these things are going to happen. How can these people. evangelicals, in denominations where the majority of the members of those denominations are unconverted and have got completely the wrong idea about the word of God? What kind of a testimony do they have to them when they accept them? When they regard them as having true spiritual standing in the sight of a holy God, when they join with them in assemblies and ecclesiastical procedures?
